[PATCH] D149288: [X86] Introduce a large data threshold for the medium code model

[Reid Kleckner via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

rnk added a comment.

One of our use cases for having a "large" attribute for global data is to have a way to mark instrumentation data as large. We would use this for ASan global metadata and PGO name data, which are not accessed frequently during program execution, but contribute significantly to binary data size.

Regardless, I'm in favor of using a simple module flag for this. It makes it easy for non-Clang frontends. The explicit "large" attribute can come later.
