The only reason we export symbols from these tools is to support
plugins; if we don't have plugins, exporting symbols just bloats the
executable and makes LTO less effective.
See review of D75879 for the discussion that led to this patch.

MCTargetOptionsCommandFlags.inc and CommandFlags.inc are headers which contain
cl::opt with static storage.
These headers are meant to be incuded by tools to make it easier to parametrize
codegen/mc.
However, these headers are also included in at least two libraries: lldCommon
and handle-llvm. As a result, when creating DYLIB, clang-cpp holds a reference
to the options, and lldCommon holds another reference. Linking the two in a
single executable, as zig does[0], results in a double registration.
This patch explores an other approach: the .inc files are moved to regular
files, and the registration happens on-demand through static declaration of
options in the constructor of a static object.

Summary:
this allows us to move logic about when it is appropriate set
LLVM_NO_DEAD_STRIP out of each tool and into add_llvm_executable,
which will enable future platform specific handling.
This is a follow on to the reverted D69356

Summary:
The variable LLVM_NO_DEAD_STRIP is set in LLVM cmake files when building executables that might make use of plugins .The name of the variable does not convey the actual intended usage (i.e. for use with tools that have plugins), just what the eventual effect of setting in on some (i.e. not garbage collecting unused symbols).
This patch renames it to LLVM_SUPPORT_PLUGINS to convey the intended usage, which will allow subsequent patches to add behavior to support that in different ways without confusion about whether it will do on, for example, non-gnu platforms.

Summary:
For the most part this consists of replacing ${LLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD} with
some combination of AllTargets* so that they depend on specific components
of a target backend rather than all of it. The overall effect of this is
that, for example, tools like opt no longer falsely depend on the
disassembler, while tools like llvm-ar no longer depend on the code
generator.
There's a couple quirks to point out here:
* AllTargetsCodeGens is a bit more prevalent than expected. Tools like dsymutil
seem to need it which I was surprised by.
* llvm-xray linked to all the backends but doesn't seem to need any of them.
It builds and passes the tests so that seems to be correct.
* I left gold out as it's not built when binutils is not available so I'm
unable to test it

llc.cpp has the following include chain:
llvm/Analysis/TargetLibraryInfo.h
llvm/IR/Function.h
llvm/IR/Argument.h
llvm/IR/Attributes.h
llvm/IR/Attributes.gen
This means llc needs to depend on intrinsics_gen.

The rational for this change is that LLVMBuild cannot express conditional
dependencies. Therefore, when we start optionally using GlobalISel library for
say AArch64, without that change, all the tools that use the AArch64 library
would need to explicitly link with GlobalISel when we ask for it.
This does not scale.
Instead, we will set the dependencies between the target and GlobalISel and if
we did not ask to build GlobalISel, the library will just be empty.
Thanks to Chris Bieneman and Mehdi Animi for the idea.

This patch adds the necessary plumbing to cmake to build the sources related to
GlobalISel.
To build the sources related to GlobalISel, we need to add -DBUILD_GLOBAL_ISEL=ON.
By default, this is OFF, thus GlobalISel sources will not impact people that do
not explicitly opt-in.

This commit a 3rd attempt at comitting the initial MIR serialization patch.
The first commit (r237708) was reverted in 237730. Then the second commit
(r237954) was reverted in r238007, as the MIR library under CodeGen caused
a circular dependency where the CodeGen library depended on MIR and MIR
library depended on CodeGen.
This commit has fixed the dependencies between CodeGen and MIR by
reorganizing the MIR serialization code - the code that prints out
MIR has been moved to CodeGen, and the MIR library has been renamed
to MIRParser. Now the CodeGen library doesn't depend on the
MIRParser library, thus the circular dependency no longer exists.
--Original Commit Message--
MIR Serialization: print and parse LLVM IR using MIR format.
This commit is the initial commit for the MIR serialization project.
It creates a new library under CodeGen called 'MIR'. This new
library adds a new machine function pass that prints out the LLVM IR
using the MIR format. This pass is then added as a last pass when a
'stop-after' option is used in llc. The new library adds the initial
functionality for parsing of MIR files as well. This commit also
extends the llc tool so that it can recognize and parse MIR input files.

The MSVC linker won't produce a .lib file for an executable that doesn't
export anything, and LLVM doesn't maintain dllexport annotations or .def
files listing all C++ symbols. It also doesn't support exporting all
symbols, like binutils ld.
CMake 3.2 changed the Ninja generator to list both the .exe and .lib
files as outputs of executable build targets. Ninja would always re-link
executables with ENABLE_EXPORTS because the .lib output file was not
present, and therefore the target was out of date.

its own library. These functions are bridging between the bitcode reader
and the ll parser which are in different libraries. Previously we didn't
have any good library to do this, and instead played fast and loose with
a "header only" set of interfaces in the Support library. This really
doesn't work well as evidenced by the recent attempt to add timing logic
to the these routines.
As part of this, make them normal functions rather than weird inline
functions, and sink the implementation into the library. Also clean up
the header to be nice and minimal.
This requires updating lots of build system dependencies to specify that
the IRReader library is needed, and several source files to not
implicitly rely upon the header file to transitively include all manner
of other headers.
If you are using IRReader.h, this commit will break you (the header
moved) and you'll need to also update your library usage to include
'irreader'. I will commit the corresponding change to Clang momentarily.
