[compiler-rt] Avoid memintrinsic calls inserted by the compiler

D135716 introduced -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern where supported.
Unfortunately this introduces unwanted memset() for large stack arrays,
as shown by the new tests added for asan and msan (tsan already had this
test).

In general, the problem of compiler-inserted memintrinsic calls
(memset/memcpy/memmove) is not new to compiler-rt, and has been a
problem before.

To avoid introducing unwanted memintrinsic calls, we redefine
memintrinsics as __sanitizer_internal_mem* at the assembly level for
most source files automatically (where sanitizer_common_internal_defs.h
is included).

In few cases, redefining a symbol in this way causes issues for
interceptors, namely the memintrinsic interceptor themselves. For such
source files we have to selectively disable the redefinition.

Other alternatives have been considered, but simply do not work well in
the context of compiler-rt:

	1. Linker --wrap:  this does not work because --wrap only
	   applies to the final link, and would not apply when building
	   sanitizer static libraries.

	2. Changing references to memset() via objcopy:  this may work,
	   but due to the complexities of the build system, introducing
	   such a post-processing step for the right object files (in
	   particular object files defining memset cannot be touched)
	   seems infeasible.

The chosen solution works well (as shown by the tests). Other libraries
have chosen the same solution where nothing else works (see e.g. glibc's
"symbol-hacks.h").

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

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

Getting in touch

Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, or #llvm IRC channel on OFTC.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
