This document was originally introduced in ab4648504b2, and was reverted in
912bc4980e9 while I investigated a number of shpinx bot errors. This commit
reintroduces the document with fixes for those errors, as well as some
improvements to the wording and formatting.
This patch updates the formatting and language of the Features section of the
ORCv2 design document. It also fixes a TBD by adding discussion of the
absoluteSymbols, symbolAliases, and reexports utilities.
Typos found during editing were also fixed.
This updates the discussion of lazy reexports, fixes a TBD for a usage example,
and adds a reference to the fully worked lazy reexports example that was added
in e9e26c01cd865da678b1af6ba5f417c713956a66.
Now that we've moved to C++14, we no longer need the llvm::make_unique
implementation from STLExtras.h. This patch is a mechanical replacement
of (hopefully) all the llvm::make_unique instances across the monorepo.

ThreadSafeModule/ThreadSafeContext are used to manage lifetimes and locking
for LLVMContexts in ORCv2. Prior to this patch contexts were locked as soon
as an associated Module was emitted (to be compiled and linked), and were not
unlocked until the emit call returned. This could lead to deadlocks if
interdependent modules that shared contexts were compiled on different threads:
when, during emission of the first module, the dependence was discovered the
second module (which would provide the required symbol) could not be emitted as
the thread emitting the first module still held the lock.
This patch eliminates this possibility by moving to a finer-grained locking
scheme. Each client holds the module lock only while they are actively operating
on it. To make this finer grained locking simpler/safer to implement this patch
removes the explicit lock method, 'getContextLock', from ThreadSafeModule and
replaces it with a new method, 'withModuleDo', that implicitly locks the context,
calls a user-supplied function object to operate on the Module, then implicitly
unlocks the context before returning the result.
ThreadSafeModule TSM = getModule(...);
size_t NumFunctions = TSM.withModuleDo(
[](Module &M) { // <- context locked before entry to lambda.
return M.size();
});
Existing ORCv2 layers that operate on ThreadSafeModules are updated to use the
new method.
This method is used to introduce Module locking into each of the existing
layers.
