Summary:
The motivation is to support better the -object_path_lto option on
Darwin. The linker needs to write down the generate object files on
disk for later use by lldb or dsymutil (debug info are not present
in the final binary). We're moving this into libLTO so that we can
be smarter when a cache is enabled and hard-link when possible
instead of duplicating the files.

Most importantly, we need to hash the relocation model, otherwise we can
end up trying to link non-PIC object files into PIEs or DSOs.

This is no longer the recommended way to load modules for importing, so it should not be public API.

In an IR symbol table I would expect the comdats to be represented as:
- A table of strings, one for each comdat name.
- Each symbol has an optional index into that table.
The natural api for accessing that would be
InputFile:
ArrayRef<StringRef> getComdatTable() const;
Symbol:
int getComdatIndex() const;
This patch implements an API as close to that as possible. The
implementation on top of the current IRObjectFile is a bit hackish,
but should map just fine over a symbol table and is very convenient to
use.

All of these existed because MSVC 2013 was unable to synthesize default
move ctors. We recently dropped support for it so all that error-prone
boilerplate can go.
No functionality change intended.

The NativeObjectOutput class has a design problem: it mixes up the caching
policy with the interface for output streams, which makes the client-side
code hard to follow and would for example make it harder to replace the
cache implementation in an arbitrary client.
This change separates the two aspects by moving the caching policy
to a separate field in Config, replacing NativeObjectOutput with a
NativeObjectStream class which only deals with streams and does not need to
be overridden by most clients and introducing an AddFile callback for adding
files (e.g. from the cache) to the link.

With the new LTO API in r278338, we stopped emitting the individual
index files and imports files for some modules in the distributed backend
case (thinlto-index-only plugin option).
Specifically, this is when the linker decides not to include a module in the
link, because it was in an archive library and did not have a strong
reference to it. Not creating the expected output files makes the
distributed build system implementation more difficult, in terms of
checking for the expected outputs of the thin link, and scheduling the
backend jobs. To address this, the gold-plugin will write dummy empty
.thinlto.bc and .imports files for modules not included in the link
(which LTO never sees).
Augmented a gold v1.12+ test, since that version of gold has the handling
for notifying on modules not being included in the link.
llvm-svn: 282100
Summary:
In runThinLTO we start the task numbering for ThinLTO backend
tasks depending on whether there was also a regular LTO object
(CombinedModule). However, the CombinedModule is moved at
the end of runRegularLTO, so we need to save this information and
pass it into runThinLTO. Otherwise the AddOutput callback to the client
will use the same task number for both the regular LTO object
and the first ThinLTO object, which in gold-plugin caused only
one to be end up in the output filename array and therefore passed
back to gold for the final native link.

Previously the prevailing information was not honored, and commons
symbols could override a strong definition. This patch fixes it and
propose the following semantic for commons: the client should mark
as prevailing the commons that it expects the LTO implementation to
merge (i.e. take the maximum size and alignment).
It implies that commons are allowed to have multiple prevailing
definitions.

Summary:
Have the cache pass back the path to the cache entry when it
is ready to be loaded, instead of a buffer.
For gold-plugin we can simply pass this file back to gold directly,
which avoids expensive writing of a separate tmp file. Ensure
the cache entry is not deleted on cleanup by adjusting the setting
of the IsTemporary flags.
Moved the loading of the buffer into llvm-lto2 to maintain current
behavior.

We already have obtained a pointer to the underlying GlobalObject,
use it directly to find the comdat, rather than using the
GlobalValue::getComdat which will do the same thing again.

Add the ability to plug a cache on the LTO API.
I tried to write such that a linker implementation can
control the cache backend. This is intrusive and I'm
not totally happy with it, but I can't figure out a
better design right now.

Summary:
I assume there was a use case, so maybe this strawman patch will help
clarifying if it is legit.
In any case the current situation is not legit: a ThinLTO compilation
should not trigger an unexpected full LTO compilation.
Right now, adding a --save-temps option triggers this and makes the
number of output differs.

It use to be non-const for the sole purpose of custom handling of
commons symbol. This is moved now in the regular LTO handling now
and such we can constify the callback.

The gold-plugin was doing this internally, now the API is handling
commons correctly based on the given resolution.

Summary:
Skip the merging of common symbols for ThinLTO modules, they will be
merged by the final native object link. Trying to merge the symbols and
add to a combined module will incorrectly enable the common symbol to be
internalized in the ThinLTO module. Additionally, we will not want to
create a combined module for ThinLTO distributed builds.
This fixes failures in 7 cpu2006 benchmarks from the new LTO API in
ThinLTO mode.

Summary:
While NFC for now, this will allow more flexibility on the client side
to hold state necessary to back up the stream.
Also when adding caching, this class will grow in complexity.
Note I blindly modified the gold-plugin as I can't compile it.

lto::InputFile::Symbol::getCommonSize should return uint64_t instead of
size_t since it is returning the result of DataLayout::getTypeAllocSize
which returns uint64_t, and the result of getCommonSize is assigned to a
uint64_t variable. On 32-bit builds size_t is unsigned int and there are
type errors. This was introduced in r278338.

This restores commit r278330, with fixes for a few bot failures:
- Fix a late change I had made to the save temps output file that I
missed due to existing files sitting on my disk
- Fix a bunch of Windows bot failures with "ambiguous call to overloaded
function" due to confusion between llvm::make_unique vs
std::make_unique (preface the new make_unique calls with "llvm::")
- Attempt to fix a modules bot failure by adding a missing include
to LTO/Config.h.
Original change:
Resolution-based LTO API.
Summary:
This introduces a resolution-based LTO API. The main advantage of this API over
existing APIs is that it allows the linker to supply a resolution for each
symbol in each object, rather than the combined object as a whole. This will
become increasingly important for use cases such as ThinLTO which require us
to process symbol resolutions in a more complicated way than just adjusting
linkage.
