In PGO, a C++ external linkage function `foo` has a private counter
`__profc_foo` and a private `__profd_foo` in a `comdat nodeduplicate`.
A `__attribute__((weak))` function `foo` has a weak hidden counter `__profc_foo`
and a private `__profd_foo` in a `comdat nodeduplicate`.
In `ld.lld a.o b.o`, say a.o defines an external linkage `foo` and b.o
defines a weak `foo`. Currently we treat `comdat nodeduplicate` as `comdat any`,
ld.lld will incorrectly consider `b.o:__profc_foo` non-prevailing. In the worst
case when `b.o:__profd_foo` is retained and `b.o:__profc_foo` isn't, there will
be dangling reference causing an `undefined hidden symbol` error.
Add SelectionKind to `Comdat` in IRSymtab and let linkers ignore nodeduplicate comdat.

LowerTypeTests pass adds functions with a non-canonical jump table
to cfiFunctionDecls instead of cfiFunctionDefs. As the jump table
is in the regular LTO object, these functions will also need to be
exported. This change fixes the non-canonical jump table case and

This version of the patch includes a fix for the cfi failures.

It also undoes reverts of follow-up patches that also needed reverting

As we don't sort local symbols, don't sort non-local symbols. This makes
non-local symbols appear in their register order, which matches GNU as. The
register order is nice in that you can write tests with interleaved CHECK
prefixes, e.g.
```
// CHECK: something about foo
.globl foo
foo:
// CHECK: something about bar
.globl bar
bar:
```
With the lexicographical order, the user needs to place lexicographical smallest
symbol first or keep CHECK prefixes in one place.
This patch adds an option to enable the new pass manager in
LTOCodeGenerator. It also updates a few tests with legacy PM specific
tests, which started failing after 6a59f0560648 when
LLVM_ENABLE_NEW_PASS_MANAGER=true.
This patch updates LTOCodeGenerator to use the utilities provided by
LTOBackend to run middle-end optimizations and backend code generation.
This is a first step towards unifying the code used by libLTO's C API
and the newer, C++ interface (see PR41541).
The immediate motivation is to allow using the new pass manager when
doing LTO using libLTO's C API, which is used on Darwin, among others.
With the changes, there are no codegen/stats differences when building

This guards against cases where the symbol was dead code eliminated in

Most of the benefit from ICP comes from inlining the target, which we
can't do with only a declaration anyway. If this is in the pre-ThinLTO

We saw the same assertion failure mentioned here
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42063 in our internal tests.
The failure happens in the same circumstance as D47898 and D66814 where
uniqueing of DICompositeTypes causes `Mapper::mapValue` to be called on
GlobalValues(`G`) from a not-yet-linked module(`M`). The following type-mapping for
`G` may not complete correctly (fail to unique types etc. depending on the
the complexity of the types) because IRLinker::computeTypeMapping is not done for `M`
in this path.
D47898 and D66814 fixed some type-mapping issue after Mapper::mapValue
is called on `G`. However, it seems it did not handle some complex cases. I
think we should delay linking globals like `G` until its owing module is
linked. In this way, we could save unnecessary type mapping and prune
these corner cases. It is also supposed to reduce the total number of structs
ending up in the combined module.
D47898 is reverted (its test is kept) because it regresses the test case here.
D66814 could also be reverted (the `check-all` looks good). But it looks reasonable
anyway, so I thought I should keep it.
Also tested the patch with clang self-host regularLTO/ThinLTO build, things look

The current behavior of -lto-embed-bitcode is not quite the same as that
of -fembed-bitcode. While both populate .llvmbc with bitcode, the latter
populates it with pre-optimized bitcode(*), while the former with
post-optimized. The scenarios driving them are different - the latter's
goal is to allow re-compilation, while the former, IIUC, is execution.
I plan to add a third mode for thinlto cases, closely-related to
-fembed-bitcode's scenario: adding the bitcode pre-optimization, but
post-merging. This would allow re-compilation without requiring the
other .bc files that were merged (akin to how -fembed-bitcode allows
recompilation without all the .h files)
The third mode can't co-exist with the current -lto-embed-bitcode mode,
because the latter would overwrite it. For clarity, we change
-lto-embed-bitcode to be an enum.
(*) That's the compiler semantics. The driver splits compilation in 2
phases, so if -fembed-bitcode is given to the driver, the .llvmbc is
optimized bitcode; if the option is passed to the compiler (after -cc1),
the section is pre-optimized.

also cause error when this bitcode object file is linked with other LTO

When sampleFDO is enabled, people may expect they can use
-fno-profile-sample-use to opt-out using sample profile for a certain file.
That could be either for debugging purpose or for performance tuning purpose.
However, when thinlto is enabled, if a function in file A compiled with
-fno-profile-sample-use is imported to another file B compiled with
-fprofile-sample-use, the inlined copy of the function in file B may still
get its profile annotated.
The inconsistency may even introduce profile unused warning because if the
target is not compiled with explicit debug information flag, the function
in file A won't have its debug information enabled (debug information will
be enabled implicitly only when -fprofile-sample-use is used). After it is
imported into file B which is compiled with -fprofile-sample-use, profile
annotation for the outline copy of the function will fail because the
function has no debug information, and that will trigger profile unused
warning.
We add a new attribute use-sample-profile to control whether a function
will use its sample profile no matter for its outline or inline copies.
That will make the behavior of -fno-profile-sample-use consistent.

For IR generated by a compiler, this is really simple: you just take the
datalayout from the beginning of the file, and apply it to all the IR
later in the file. For optimization testcases that don't care about the
datalayout, this is also really simple: we just use the default
datalayout.
The complexity here comes from the fact that some LLVM tools allow
overriding the datalayout: some tools have an explicit flag for this,
some tools will infer a datalayout based on the code generation target.
Supporting this properly required plumbing through a bunch of new
machinery: we want to allow overriding the datalayout after the
datalayout is parsed from the file, but before we use any information
from it. Therefore, IR/bitcode parsing now has a callback to allow tools
to compute the datalayout at the appropriate time.
Not sure if I covered all the LLVM tools that want to use the callback.
(clang? lli? Misc IR manipulation tools like llvm-link?). But this is at
least enough for all the LLVM regression tests, and IR without a
datalayout is not something frontends should generate.
This change had some sort of weird effects for certain CodeGen
regression tests: if the datalayout is overridden with a datalayout with
a different program or stack address space, we now parse IR based on the
overridden datalayout, instead of the one written in the file (or the
default one, if none is specified). This broke a few AVR tests, and one
AMDGPU test.
Outside the CodeGen tests I mentioned, the test changes are all just
fixing CHECK lines and moving around datalayout lines in weird places.

If the linkage is changed to available_externally, the dso_local flag should be dropped, so that no

This patch could be treated as a rebase of D33960. It also fixes PR35547.
A fix for `llvm/test/Other/close-stderr.ll` is proposed in D68164. Seems
the consensus is that the test is passing by chance and I'm not
sure how important it is for us. So it is removed like in D33960 for now.
The rest of the test fixes are just adding `--crash` flag to `not` tool.
** The reason it fixes PR35547 is
`exit` does cleanup including calling class destructor whereas `abort`
does not do any cleanup. In multithreading environment such as ThinLTO or JIT,
threads may share states which mostly are ManagedStatic<>. If faulting thread
tearing down a class when another thread is using it, there are chances of
memory corruption. This is bad 1. It will stop error reporting like pretty
stack printer; 2. The memory corruption is distracting and nondeterministic in
terms of error message, and corruption type (depending one the timing, it
could be double free, heap free after use, etc.).

Summary:
This adds support for embedding bitcode in a binary during LTO. The libLTO gains supports the `-lto-embed-bitcode` flag. The option allows users of the LTO library to embed a bitcode section. For example, LLD can pass the option via `ld.lld -mllvm=-lto-embed-bitcode`.
This feature allows doing something comparable to `clang -c -fembed-bitcode`, but on the (LTO) linker level. Having bitcode alongside native code has many use-cases. To give an example, the MacOS linker can create a `-bitcode_bundle` section containing bitcode. Also, having this feature built into LLVM is an alternative to 3rd party tools such as [[ https://github.com/travitch/whole-program-llvm | wllvm ]] or [[ https://github.com/SRI-CSL/gllvm | gllvm ]]. As with these tools, this feature simplifies creating "whole-program" llvm bitcode files, but in contrast to wllvm/gllvm it does not rely on a specific llvm frontend/driver.

Remove dead virtual functions from vtables with
replaceNonMetadataUsesWith, so that CGProfile metadata gets cleaned up
correctly.
Original commit message:
Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual
functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced
by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live
code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there
are no call sites which can use it.
This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and
regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match
virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This
information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead
of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately
determine which functions are reachable.
To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to
always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load
intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing
this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test
and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible
for optimisations to obscure the relationship between the GEP, load and
llvm.type.test, causing GlobalDCE to fail to find virtual function call
sites.
The existing linkage and visibility types don't accurately describe the scope
in which a virtual call could be made which uses a given vtable. This is
wider than the visibility of the type itself, because a virtual function call
could be made using a more-visible base class. I've added a new
!vcall_visibility metadata type to represent this, described in
TypeMetadata.rst. The internalization pass and libLTO have been updated to
change this metadata when linking is performed.
This doesn't currently work with ThinLTO, because it needs to see every call
to llvm.type.checked.load in the linkage unit. It might be possible to
extend this optimisation to be able to use the ThinLTO summary, as was done
for devirtualization, but until then that combination is rejected in the
clang driver.
To test this, I've written a fuzzer which generates random C++ programs with
complex class inheritance graphs, and virtual functions called through object
and function pointers of different types. The programs are spread across
multiple translation units and DSOs to test the different visibility
restrictions.
I've also tried doing bootstrap builds of LLVM to test this. This isn't
ideal, because only classes in anonymous namespaces can be optimised with
-fvisibility=default, and some parts of LLVM (plugins and bugpoint) do not
work correctly with -fvisibility=hidden. However, there are only 12 test
failures when building with -fvisibility=hidden (and an unmodified compiler),
and this change does not cause any new failures for either value of
-fvisibility.
On the 7 C++ sub-benchmarks of SPEC2006, this gives a geomean code-size
reduction of ~6%, over a baseline compiled with "-O2 -flto
-fvisibility=hidden -fwhole-program-vtables". The best cases are reductions
of ~14% in 450.soplex and 483.xalancbmk, and there are no code size
increases.
I've also run this on a set of 8 mbed-os examples compiled for Armv7M, which
show a geomean size reduction of ~3%, again with no size increases.
I had hoped that this would have no effect on performance, which would allow
it to awlays be enabled (when using -fwhole-program-vtables). However, the
changes in clang to use the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic are causing ~1%
performance regression in the C++ parts of SPEC2006. It should be possible to
recover some of this perf loss by teaching optimisations about the
llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, which would make it worth turning this on
by default (though it's still dependent on -fwhole-program-vtables).

llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, which would make it worth turning this on
by default (though it's still dependent on -fwhole-program-vtables).

Summary:
During IR Linking, if the types of two globals in destination and source
modules are the same, it can only be because the global in the
destination module is originally from the source module and got added to
the destination module from a shared metadata.
We shouldn't map this type to itself in case the type's components get
remapped to a new type from the destination (for instance, during the
loop over SrcM->getIdentifiedStructTypes() further below in
IRLinker::computeTypeMapping()).
Fixes PR40312.
