[AIX][PowerPC][PGO] Generate .ref for some PGO sections
For PGO on AIX, when we switch to the linux-style PGO variable access (via _start and _stop labels), we need the compiler to generate a .ref assembly for each of the three csects: - __llvm_prf_data[RW] - __llvm_prf_names[RO] - __llvm_prf_vnds[RW] We insert the .ref inside the __llvm_prf_cnts[RW] csect so that if it's live then the 3 csects are live. For example, for a testcase with at least one function definition, when compiled with -fprofile-generate we should generate: .csect __llvm_prf_cnts[RW],3 .ref __llvm_prf_data[RW] <<============ needs to be inserted .ref __llvm_prf_names[RO] <<=========== the __llvm_prf_vnds is not always present, so we reference it only when it's present.
