These function can be dropped by the compiler if they are no longer
referenced in the current module. However there is a change that
another module is still referencing them because of the import.
Multiple solutions can be used:
- Always import LinkOnce when a caller is imported. This ensure that
every module with a call to a LinkOnce has the definition and will
be able to emit it if it emits the call.
- Turn the LinkOnce into Weak, so that it is always emitted.
- Turn all LinkOnce into available_externally and come back after all
modules are codegen'ed to emit only one copy of the linkonce, when
there is still a reference to it.
This patch implement the second option, with am optimization that
only *one* module will turn the LinkOnce into Weak, while the others
will turn it into available_externally, so that there is exactly one
copy emitted for the whole compilation.

Summary:
This patch adds support for including a full reference graph including
call graph edges and other GV references in the summary.
The reference graph edges can be used to make importing decisions
without materializing any source modules, can be used in the plugin
to make file staging decisions for distributed build systems, and is
expected to have other uses.
The call graph edges are recorded in each function summary in the
bitcode via a list of <CalleeValueIds, StaticCount> tuples when no PGO
data exists, or <CalleeValueId, StaticCount, ProfileCount> pairs when
there is PGO, where the ValueId can be mapped to the function GUID via
the ValueSymbolTable. In the function index in memory, the call graph
edges reference the target via the CalleeGUID instead of the
CalleeValueId.
The reference graph edges are recorded in each summary record with a
list of referenced value IDs, which can be mapped to value GUID via the
ValueSymbolTable.
Addtionally, a new summary record type is added to record references
from global variable initializers. A number of bitcode records and data
structures have been renamed to reflect the newly expanded scope of the
summary beyond functions. More cleanup will follow.

tests to run GVN in both modes.
This is mostly the boring refactoring just like SROA and other complex
transformation passes. There is some trickiness in that GVN's
ValueNumber class requires hand holding to get to compile cleanly. I'm
open to suggestions about a better pattern there, but I tried several
before settling on this. I was trying to balance my desire to sink as
much implementation detail into the source file as possible without
introducing overly many layers of abstraction.
Much like with SROA, the design of this system is made somewhat more
cumbersome by the need to support both pass managers without duplicating
the significant state and logic of the pass. The same compromise is
struck here.
I've also left a FIXME in a doxygen comment as the GVN pass seems to
have pretty woeful documentation within it. I'd like to submit this with
the FIXME and let those more deeply familiar backfill the information
here now that we have a nice place in an interface to put that kind of

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

convert one test to use this.
This is a particularly significant milestone because it required
a working per-function AA framework which can be queried over each
function from within a CGSCC transform pass (and additionally a module
analysis to be accessible). This is essentially *the* point of the
entire pass manager rewrite. A CGSCC transform is able to query for
multiple different function's analysis results. It works. The whole
thing appears to actually work and accomplish the original goal. While
we were able to hack function attrs and basic-aa to "work" in the old
pass manager, this port doesn't use any of that, it directly leverages
the new fundamental functionality.
For this to work, the CGSCC framework also has to support SCC-based
behavior analysis, etc. The only part of the CGSCC pass infrastructure
not sorted out at this point are the updates in the face of inlining and
running function passes that mutate the call graph.
The changes are pretty boring and boiler-plate. Most of the work was
factored into more focused preperatory patches. But this is what wires
it all together.

I only looked at the C API for LTO briefly to see if this is a good
place. Probably there are still cases where this wouldn't be printed
but it seems to be working for the common case. I also experimented
putting this in the LTOCodeGenerator destructor but that didn't trigger
for me because ld64 does not destroy the LTOCodeGenerator.

because any error from this function should go through the diagnostic handler in
llvm-lto which will exit the program. The error() call was added because this

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.

a top-down manner into a true top-down or RPO pass over the call graph.
There are specific patterns of function attributes, notably the
norecurse attribute, which are most effectively propagated top-down
because all they us caller information.
Walk in RPO over the call graph SCCs takes the form of a module pass run
immediately after the CGSCC pass managers postorder walk of the SCCs,
trying again to deduce norerucrse for each singular SCC in the call
graph.
This removes a very legacy pass manager specific trick of using a lazy
revisit list traversed during finalization of the CGSCC pass. There is
no analogous finalization step in the new pass manager, and a lazy
revisit list is just trying to produce an RPO iteration of the call
graph. We can do that more directly if more expensively. It seems
unlikely that this will be the expensive part of any compilation though
as we never examine the function bodies here. Even in an LTO run over
a very large module, this should be a reasonable fast set of operations
over a reasonably small working set -- the function call graph itself.
In the future, if this really is a compile time performance issue, we
can look at building support for both post order and RPO traversals
directly into a pass manager that builds and maintains the PO list of
SCCs.

llvm-svn: 256011
This patch converts code that has access to a LLVMContext to not take a
diagnostic handler.
This has a few advantages
* It is easier to use a consistent diagnostic handler in a single program.
* Less clutter since we are not passing a handler around.
It does make it a bit awkward to implement some C APIs that return a
diagnostic string. I will propose new versions of these APIs and
deprecate the current ones.
llvm-svn: 255571
Before this patch the diagnostic handler was optional. If it was not
passed, the one in the LLVMContext was used.
That is probably not a pattern we want to follow. If each area has an
optional callback, there is a sea of callbacks and it is hard to follow
which one is called.
Doing this also found cases where the callback is a nice addition, like
testing that no errors or warnings are reported.
The other option is to always use the diagnostic handler in the
LLVMContext. That has a few problems
* To implement the C API we would have to set the diag handler and then
set it back to the original value.
* Code that creates the context might be far away from code that wants
the diagnostics.
I do have a patch that implements the second option and will send that as
an RFC.

This is a continuation of r253367.

improve consistency of diagnostic handling infrastructure: if an LTO client used

The first run is important, since we're not sure where the bitcode comes

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

In some ways this is a very boring port to the new pass manager as there
are no interesting analyses or dependencies or other oddities.
However, this does introduce the first good example of a transformation
pass with non-trivial state porting to the new pass manager. I've tried
to carve out patterns here to replicate elsewhere, and would appreciate
comments on whether folks like these patterns:
- A common need in the new pass manager is to effectively lift the pass
class and some of its state into a public header file. Prior to this,
LLVM used anonymous namespaces to provide "module private" types and
utilities, but that doesn't scale to cases where a public header file
is needed and the new pass manager will exacerbate that. The pattern
I've adopted here is to use the namespace-cased-name of the core pass
(what would be a module if we had them) as a module-private namespace.
Then utility and other code can be declared and defined in this
namespace. At some point in the future, we could even have
(conditionally compiled) code that used modules features when
available to do the same basic thing.
- I've split the actual pass run method in two in order to expose
a private method usable by the old pass manager to wrap the new class
with a minimum of duplicated code. I actually looked at a bunch of
ways to automate or generate these, but they are all quite terrible
IMO. The fundamental need is to extract the set of analyses which need
to cross this interface boundary, and that will end up being too
unpredictable to effectively encapsulate IMO. This is also
a relatively small amount of boiler plate that will live a relatively
short time, so I'm not too worried about the fact that it is boiler
plate.
The rest of the patch is totally boring but results in a massive diff
(sorry). It just moves code around and removes or adds qualifiers to
reflect the new name and nesting structure.

with the new pass manager, and no longer relying on analysis groups.
This builds essentially a ground-up new AA infrastructure stack for
LLVM. The core ideas are the same that are used throughout the new pass
manager: type erased polymorphism and direct composition. The design is
as follows:
- FunctionAAResults is a type-erasing alias analysis results aggregation
interface to walk a single query across a range of results from
different alias analyses. Currently this is function-specific as we
always assume that aliasing queries are *within* a function.
- AAResultBase is a CRTP utility providing stub implementations of
various parts of the alias analysis result concept, notably in several
cases in terms of other more general parts of the interface. This can
be used to implement only a narrow part of the interface rather than
the entire interface. This isn't really ideal, this logic should be
hoisted into FunctionAAResults as currently it will cause
a significant amount of redundant work, but it faithfully models the
behavior of the prior infrastructure.
- All the alias analysis passes are ported to be wrapper passes for the
legacy PM and new-style analysis passes for the new PM with a shared
result object. In some cases (most notably CFL), this is an extremely
naive approach that we should revisit when we can specialize for the
new pass manager.
- BasicAA has been restructured to reflect that it is much more
fundamentally a function analysis because it uses dominator trees and
loop info that need to be constructed for each function.
All of the references to getting alias analysis results have been
updated to use the new aggregation interface. All the preservation and
other pass management code has been updated accordingly.
The way the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass works is to detect the
available alias analyses when run, and add them to the results object.
This means that we should be able to continue to respect when various
passes are added to the pipeline, for example adding CFL or adding TBAA
passes should just cause their results to be available and to get folded
into this. The exception to this rule is BasicAA which really needs to
be a function pass due to using dominator trees and loop info. As
a consequence, the FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass directly depends on
BasicAA and always includes it in the aggregation.
This has significant implications for preserving analyses. Generally,
most passes shouldn't bother preserving FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass
because rebuilding the results just updates the set of known AA passes.
The exception to this rule are LoopPass instances which need to preserve
all the function analyses that the loop pass manager will end up
needing. This means preserving both BasicAAWrapperPass and the
aggregating FunctionAAResultsWrapperPass.
Now, when preserving an alias analysis, you do so by directly preserving
that analysis. This is only necessary for non-immutable-pass-provided
alias analyses though, and there are only three of interest: BasicAA,
GlobalsAA (formerly GlobalsModRef), and SCEVAA. Usually BasicAA is
preserved when needed because it (like DominatorTree and LoopInfo) is
marked as a CFG-only pass. I've expanded GlobalsAA into the preserved
set everywhere we previously were preserving all of AliasAnalysis, and
I've added SCEVAA in the intersection of that with where we preserve
SCEV itself.
One significant challenge to all of this is that the CGSCC passes were
actually using the alias analysis implementations by taking advantage of
a pretty amazing set of loop holes in the old pass manager's analysis
management code which allowed analysis groups to slide through in many
cases. Moving away from analysis groups makes this problem much more
obvious. To fix it, I've leveraged the flexibility the design of the new
PM components provides to just directly construct the relevant alias
analyses for the relevant functions in the IPO passes that need them.
This is a bit hacky, but should go away with the new pass manager, and
is already in many ways cleaner than the prior state.
Another significant challenge is that various facilities of the old
alias analysis infrastructure just don't fit any more. The most
significant of these is the alias analysis 'counter' pass. That pass
relied on the ability to snoop on AA queries at different points in the
analysis group chain. Instead, I'm planning to build printing
functionality directly into the aggregation layer. I've not included
that in this patch merely to keep it smaller.
Note that all of this needs a nearly complete rewrite of the AA
documentation. I'm planning to do that, but I'd like to make sure the
new design settles, and to flesh out a bit more of what it looks like in
the new pass manager first.
