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.

We currently do not touch a symbol's linkage in the case where a definition
has a single copy. However, this code is effectively unnecessary: either
the definition is not exported, in which case the internalize phase sets
its linkage to internal, or it is exported, in which case we need to promote
linkage to weak. Those two cases are already handled by existing code.
I believe that the only real functional change here is in the case where we
have a single definition which does not prevail (e.g. because the definition
in a native object file prevails). In that case we now lower linkage to
available_externally following the existing code path for that case.
As a result we can remove the isExported function parameter from the
thinLTOResolveWeakForLinkerInIndex function.

Move the now index-based ODR resolution and internalization routines out
of ThinLTOCodeGenerator.cpp and into either LTO.cpp (index-based
analysis) or FunctionImport.cpp (index-driven optimizations).
This is to enable usage by other linkers.
llvm-svn: 270698
Summary:
This patch changes the ODR resolution and internalization to be based on
updates to the Index, which are consumed by the backend portion of the
transformations.
It will be followed by an NFC change to move these out of libLTO's
ThinLTOCodeGenerator so that it can be used by other linkers
(gold and lld) and by ThinLTO distributed backends.
The global summary-based portions use callbacks so that the client can
determine the prevailing copy and other information in a client-specific
way. Eventually, with the API being developed in D20268, these may be
modified to use information such as symbol resolutions, supplied by the
clients to the API.

Summary:
When launching ThinLTO backends in a distributed build (currently
supported in gold via the thinlto-index-only plugin option), emit
an individual index file for each backend process as described here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-April/098272.html
The individual index file encodes the summary and module information
required for implementing the importing/exporting decisions made
for a given module in the thin link step.
This is in place of the current mechanism that uses the combined index
to make importing decisions in each back end independently. It is an
enabler for doing global summary based optimizations in the thin link
step (which will be recorded in the individual index files), and reduces
the size of the index that must be sent to each backend process, and
the amount of work to scan it in the backends.
Rather than create entirely new ModuleSummaryIndex structures (and all
the included unique_ptrs) for each backend index file, a map is created
to record all of the GUID and summary pointers needed for a particular
index file. The IndexBitcodeWriter walks this map instead of the full
index (hiding the details of managing the appropriate summary iteration
in a new iterator subclass). This is more efficient than walking the
entire combined index and filtering out just the needed summaries during
each backend bitcode index write.
Depends on D19481.

Clients may call writeMergedModules before calling optimize, or call
compileOptimized without calling optimize. Make sure they don't sneak
past the verifier. This adds LTOCodeGenerator::verifyMergedModuleOnce,
and calls it from writeMergedModule, optimize, and codegenOptimized.
I couldn't find a good way to test this. I tried writing broken IR to
send into llvm-lto, but LTOCodeGenerator doesn't understand textual IR,
and assembler runs the verifier itself anyway. Checking in
valid-but-doesn't-verify bitcode here doesn't seem valuable.

This is intended to be shared by the ThinLTOCodeGenerator.
Note that there is a change in the way the verifier is run, previously
it was ran as a Pass on the merged module during internalization.
While now the verifier is called explicitely on the merged module
outside of the internalize "pass pipeline".
What remains strange in the API is the fact that `DisableVerify` in

Function lto_module_create_in_local_context() would previously
rely on the default LLVMContext being created for it by
LTOModule::makeLTOModule(). This context exits the program on
error and is not arranged to update sLastStringError in
tools/lto/lto.cpp.
Function lto_module_create_in_local_context() now creates an
LLVMContext by itself, sets it up correctly to its needs and then
passes it to LTOModule::createInLocalContext() which takes
ownership of the context and keeps it present for the lifetime of
the returned LTOModule.
Function LTOModule::makeLTOModule() is modified to take a
reference to LLVMContext (instead of a pointer) and no longer
creates a default context when nullptr is passed to it. Method
LTOModule::createInContext() that takes a pointer to LLVMContext
is removed because it allows to pass a nullptr to it. Instead
LTOModule::createFromBuffer() (that takes a reference to
LLVMContext) should be used.

Summary:
This is a companion patch for http://reviews.llvm.org/D16124.
Internalized symbols increase the size of strongly-connected components in
SCC-based module splitting and thus reduce the amount of parallelism. This
patch records the original linkage of non-local symbols prior to
internalization and then restores it just before splitting/CodeGen. This is
also useful for cases where the linker requires symbols to remain external, for
instance, so they can be placed according to linker script rules.
It's currently under its own flag (-restore-globals) but should eventually
share a common flag with D16124.

The verifier currently runs three times in LTO: (1) after parsing, (2)
at the beginning of the optimization pipeline, and (3) at the end of it.
The first run is important, since we're not sure where the bitcode comes
from and it's nice to validate it, but in release builds the extra runs
aren't appropriate.
This commit:
- Allows these runs to be disabled in LTOCodeGenerator.
- Adds command-line options to llvm-lto.
- Adds command-line options to libLTO.dylib, and disables the verifier
by default in release builds (based on NDEBUG).

llvm::splitCodeGen is a function that implements the core of parallel LTO

llvm-svn: 245756
This change unifies how LTOModule and the backend obtain linker flags
for globals: via a new TargetLoweringObjectFile member function named
emitLinkerFlagsForGlobal. A new function LTOModule::getLinkerOpts() returns
the list of linker flags as a single concatenated string.
This change affects the C libLTO API: the function lto_module_get_*deplibs now
exposes an empty list, and lto_module_get_*linkeropts exposes a single element
which combines the contents of all observed flags. libLTO should never have
tried to parse the linker flags; it is the linker's job to do so. Because
linkers will need to be able to parse flags in regular object files, it
makes little sense for libLTO to have a redundant mechanism for doing so.
The new API is compatible with the old one. It is valid for a user to specify
multiple linker flags in a single pragma directive like this:
#pragma comment(linker, "/defaultlib:foo /defaultlib:bar")
The previous implementation would not have exposed
either flag via lto_module_get_*deplibs (as the test in
TargetLoweringObjectFileCOFF::getDepLibFromLinkerOpt was case sensitive)
and would have exposed "/defaultlib:foo /defaultlib:bar" as a single flag via
lto_module_get_*linkeropts. This may have been a bug in the implementation,
but it does give us a chance to fix the interface.

Reverse libLTO's default behaviour for preserving use-list order in
bitcode, and add API for controlling it. The default setting is now
`false` (don't preserve them), which is consistent with `clang`'s
default behaviour.
Users of libLTO should call `lto_codegen_should_embed_uselists(CG,true)`
prior to calling `lto_codegen_write_merged_modules()` whenever the
output file isn't part of the production workflow in order to reproduce
results with subsequent calls to `llc`.
(I haven't added tests since `llvm-lto` (the test tool for LTO) doesn't
support bitcode output, and even if it did: there isn't actually a good
way to test whether a tool has passed the flag. If the order is already
"natural" (if the order will already round-trip) then no use-list
directives are emitted at all. At some point I'll circle back to add
tests to `llvm-as` (etc.) that they actually respect the flag, at which
point I can somehow add a test here as well.)

We used to always vectorize (slp and loop vectorize) in the LTO pass pipeline.
r220345 changed it so that we used the PassManager's fields 'LoopVectorize' and
'SLPVectorize' out of the desire to be able to disable vectorization using the
cl::opt flags 'vectorize-loops'/'slp-vectorize' which the before mentioned
fields default to.
Unfortunately, this turns off vectorization because those fields
default to false.
This commit adds flags to the LTO library to disable lto vectorization which
reconciles the desire to optionally disable vectorization during LTO and
the desired behavior of defaulting to enabled vectorization.
We really want tools to set PassManager flags directly to enable/disable
vectorization and not go the route via cl::opt flags *in*
PassManagerBuilder.cpp.

Owning the buffer is somewhat inflexible. Some Binaries have sub Binaries
(like Archive) and we had to create dummy buffers just to handle that. It is
also a bad fit for IRObjectFile where the Module wants to own the buffer too.
Keeping this ownership would make supporting IR inside native objects
particularly painful.
This patch focuses in lib/Object. If something elsewhere used to own an Binary,
now it also owns a MemoryBuffer.
This patch introduces a few new types.
* MemoryBufferRef. This is just a pair of StringRefs for the data and name.
This is to MemoryBuffer as StringRef is to std::string.
* OwningBinary. A combination of Binary and a MemoryBuffer. This is needed
for convenience functions that take a filename and return both the
buffer and the Binary using that buffer.
The C api now uses OwningBinary to avoid any change in semantics. I will start
a new thread to see if we want to change it and how.

severity, const char *diag, void *ctxt)
- severity says how bad this is.
- diag is a string that contains the diagnostic message.
- ctxt is the registered context for this handler.
This hook is more general than the lto_get_error_message, since this function
keeps only the latest message and can only be queried when something went wrong
(no warning for instance).

Other/link-opts.ll. The problem was that calling

The original commit message follows.
Add API to LTOCodeGenerator to specify a strategy for the -internalize
pass.
This is a new attempt at Bill's change in r185882, which he reverted in
r188029 due to problems with the gold linker. This puts the onus on the
linker to decide whether (and what) to internalize.
In particular, running internalize before outputting an object file may
change a 'weak' symbol into an internal one, even though that symbol
could be needed by an external object file --- e.g., with arclite.
This patch enables three strategies:
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL: the default (and the old behaviour).
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_NONE: skip -internalize.
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN: only -internalize symbols with hidden
visibility.
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL should be used when linking an executable.
Outputting an object file (e.g., via ld -r) is more complicated, and
depends on whether hidden symbols should be internalized. E.g., for
ld -r, LTO_INTERNALIZE_NONE can be used when -keep_private_externs, and
LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN can be used otherwise. However,
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL is inappropriate, since the output object file will
eventually need to link with others.
lto_codegen_set_internalize_strategy() sets the strategy for subsequent
calls to lto_codegen_write_merged_modules() and lto_codegen_compile*().

LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN can be used otherwise. However,
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL is inappropriate, since the output object file will
eventually need to link with others.
lto_codegen_set_internalize_strategy() sets the strategy for subsequent
calls to lto_codegen_write_merged_modules() and lto_codegen_compile*().

subsequent changes are easier to review. About to fix some layering
issues, and wanted to separate out the necessary churn.
Also comment and sink the include of "Windows.h" in three .inc files to
match the usage in Memory.inc.
llvm-svn: 198685
Add user-supplied C runtime and compiler-rt library functions to
llvm.compiler.used to protect them from premature optimization by
passes like -globalopt and -ipsccp. Calls to (seemingly unused)
runtime library functions can be added by -instcombine and instruction
lowering.

There are two ways one could implement hiding of linkonce_odr symbols in LTO:
* LLVM tells the linker which symbols can be hidden if not used from native
files.
* The linker tells LLVM which symbols are not used from other object files,
but will be put in the dso symbol table if present.
GOLD's API is the second option. It was implemented almost 1:1 in llvm by
passing the list down to internalize.
LLVM already had partial support for the first option. It is also very similar
to how ld64 handles hiding these symbols when *not* doing LTO.
This patch then
* removes the APIs for the DSO list.
* marks LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_DEFAULT_CAN_BE_HIDDEN all linkonce_odr unnamed_addr
global values and other linkonce_odr whose address is not used.
* makes the gold plugin responsible for handling the API mismatch.

Generalize the API so we can distinguish symbols that are needed just for a DSO
symbol table from those that are used from some native .o.
The symbols that are only wanted for the dso symbol table can be dropped if
llvm can prove every other dso has a copy (linkonce_odr) and the address is not
important (unnamed_addr).
