Summary:
Emit summaries for bitcode modules that are only destined for the
regular LTO portion of the build so they can participate in
summary-based dead stripping.
This change reduces the size of a nacl_helper build with cfi-icall
enabled by 7%, removing the majority of the overhead due to enabling
cfi-icall. The cfi-icall size increase was caused by compiling in lots
of unused code and cfi-icall generating jumptable references to unused
symbols that could no longer be removed by -Wl,-gc-sections. Increasing
the visibility of summary-based dead stripping prevented jumptable
entries being created for unused symbols from the regular LTO portion
of the build.

Summary:
This change fixes https://crbug.com/834474, a build failure caused by
LowerTypeTests not preserving .symver symbol versioning directives for
exported functions. Emit symver information to ThinLTO summary data and
then propagate symver directives for exported functions to the merged
module.
Emitting symver information to the summaries increases the size of
intermediate build artifacts for a Chromium build by less than 0.2%.

This is similar to r322317, but for visibility. It is not as neat
because we have to special case extern_weak.
The idea is the same as the previous change, make the transition to
explicit dso_local easier for the frontends. With this they only have
to add dso_local to symbols where we need some external information to
decide if it is dso_local (like it being part of an ELF executable).
llvm-svn: 322806
While updating clang tests for having clang set dso_local I noticed
that:
- There are *a lot* of tests to update.
- Many of the updates are redundant.
They are redundant because a GV is "obviously dso_local". This patch
starts formalizing that a bit by requiring that internal and private
GVs be dso_local too. Since they all are, we don't have to print
dso_local to the textual representation, making it a bit more compact
and easier to read.

Summary:
LowerTypeTests moves some function definitions from individual object
files to the merged module, leaving a stub to be called in the merged
module's jump table. If an alias was pointing to such a function
definition LowerTypeTests would fail because the alias would be left
without a definition to point to.
This change 1) emits information about aliases to the ThinLTO summary,
2) replaces aliases pointing to function definitions that are moved to
the merged module with function declarations, and 3) re-emits those
aliases in the merged module pointing to the correct function
definitions.
The patch does not correctly fix all possible mis-uses of aliases in
LowerTypeTests. For example, it does not handle aliases with a different
type from the pointed to function.
The addition of alias data increases the size of Chrome build artifacts
by less than 1%.

If the thin module has no references to an internal global in the
merged module, we need to make sure to preserve that property if the
global is a member of a comdat group, as otherwise promotion can end
up adding global symbols to the comdat, which is not allowed.
This situation can arise if the external global in the thin module
has dead constant users, which would cause use_empty() to return
false and would cause us to try to promote it. To prevent this from
happening, discard the dead constant users before asking whether a
global is empty.

It is possible for two modules to define the same set of external
symbols without causing a duplicate symbol error at link time,
as long as each of the symbols is a comdat member. So we cannot
use them as part of a unique id for the module.

Summary: Currently the ThinLTO minimized bitcode file only strip the debug info, but there is still a lot of information in the minimized bit code file that will be not used for thin linker. In this patch, most of the extra information is striped to reduce the minimized bitcode file. Now only ModuleVersion, ModuleInfo, ModuleGlobalValueSummary, ModuleHash, Symtab and Strtab are left. Now the minimized bitcode file size is reduced to 15%-30% of the debug info stripped bitcode file size.

querying for analysis results on a function declaration rather than
a definition.
The only reason this worked previously is by chance -- because the way
we got alias analysis results with the legacy PM, we happened to not
compute a dominator tree and so we happened to not hit an assert even
though it didn't make any real sense. Now we bail out before trying to
compute alias analysis so that we don't hit these asserts.

Summary:
COFF requires that every comdat contain a symbol with the same name as
the comdat. ThinLTOBitcodeWriter renames symbols, which may cause this
requirement to be violated. This change avoids such violations by
renaming comdats if their leaders are renamed. It also keeps comdats
together when splitting modules.

Summary:
The cumulative size of the bitcode files for a very large application
can be huge, particularly with -g. In a distributed build environment,
all of these files must be sent to the remote build node that performs
the thin link step, and this can exceed size limits.
The thin link actually only needs the summary along with a bitcode
symbol table. Until we have a proper bitcode symbol table, simply
stripping the debug metadata results in significant size reduction.
Add support for an option to additionally emit minimized bitcode
modules, just for use in the thin link step, which for now just strips
all debug metadata. I plan to add a cc1 option so this can be invoked
easily during the compile step.
However, care must be taken to ensure that these minimized thin link
bitcode files produce the same index as with the original bitcode files,
as these original bitcode files will be used in the backends.
Specifically:
1) The module hash used for caching is typically produced by hashing the
written bitcode, and we want to include the hash that would correspond
to the original bitcode file. This is because we want to ensure that
changes in the stripped portions affect caching. Added plumbing to emit
the same module hash in the minimized thin link bitcode file.
2) The module paths in the index are constructed from the module ID of
each thin linked bitcode, and typically is automatically generated from
the input file path. This is the path used for finding the modules to
import from, and obviously we need this to point to the original bitcode
files. Added gold-plugin support to take a suffix replacement during the
thin link that is used to override the identifier on the MemoryBufferRef
constructed from the loaded thin link bitcode file. The assumption is
that the build system can specify that the minimized bitcode file has a
name that is similar but uses a different suffix (e.g. out.thinlink.bc
instead of out.o).
Added various tests to ensure that we get identical index files out of
the thin link step.

This pass prepares a module containing type metadata for ThinLTO by splitting
it into regular and thin LTO parts if possible, and writing both parts to
a multi-module bitcode file. Modules that do not contain type metadata are
written unmodified as a single module.
All globals with type metadata are added to the regular LTO module, and
the rest are added to the thin LTO module.
