[x64][win] Windows x64 unwind v3: Use tail-relative epilog offsets and add size-based splitting (#203108)

Win64 Unwind v3 encodes each epilog's EpilogOffset as a signed 16-bit
field. The encoder previously measured the first epilog offset from the
fragment start, which overflowed for large functions and produced a
cryptic "<unknown>:0: value too large for field" error (and, on the
early .seh_handlerdata path, an assertion failure).

Two changes:

- MCWin64EH.cpp: Always emit epilog offsets tail-relative. The first
epilog descriptor is measured from the fragment end and subsequent ones
as deltas from the previous epilog, so descriptors are emitted in
descending address order (all non-positive, per spec). A new lazy
MCUnwindV3EpilogOffsetTargetExpr resolves the fragment-end-relative
value at layout time (it may not have a symbol yet when emitted via
.seh_handlerdata) and reports a clean, function-named diagnostic on
genuine overflow.

- X86WinEHUnwindV3.cpp: Add Unwind-v2-style size-based sub-fragment
splitting. In addition to the existing >7-epilog split, the pass now
splits a funclet into chained fragments when an epilog is too far from
its fragment tail (using the V2 approximate-instruction-count heuristic,
tunable via -x86-wineh-unwindv3-epilog-distance-threshold). Splits use
SEH_SplitChainedAtEndOfBlock so the split lands after the epilog,
keeping every epilog close to its tail; a long trailing region becomes
its own epilog-free chained fragment.

Updates seh-unwindv3-large.s expectations to the new tail-relative
values and adds win64-eh-unwindv3-split-large.ll covering size-based
splitting.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
