This makes this code much more similar to what ThinLTO is
using (also API wise), so now we can probably use a single
code path instead of copying stuff around.

This reverts commit r293970.
After more discussion, this belongs to the linker side and
there is no added value to do it at this level.

When a symbol is not exported outside of the
DSO, it is can be hidden. Usually we try to internalize
as much as possible, but it is not always possible, for
instance a symbol can be referenced outside of the LTO
unit, or there can be cross-module reference in ThinLTO.
This is a recommit of r293912 after fixing build failures,
and a recommit of r293918 after fixing LLD tests.

Summary: Some compilers, including MSVC and Clang, allow linker options to be specified in source files. In the legacy LTO API, there is a getLinkerOpts() method that returns linker options for the bitcode module being processed. This change adds that method to the new API, so that the COFF linker can get the right linker options when using the new LTO API.

Summary:
Using the linker-supplied list of "preserved" symbols, we can compute
the list of "dead" symbols, i.e. the one that are not reachable from
a "preserved" symbol transitively on the reference graph.
Right now we are using this information to mark these functions as
non-eligible for import.
The impact is two folds:
- Reduction of compile time: we don't import these functions anywhere
or import the function these symbols are calling.
- The limited number of import/export leads to better internalization.

Summary:
The motivation is to support better the -object_path_lto option on
Darwin. The linker needs to write down the generate object files on
disk for later use by lldb or dsymutil (debug info are not present
in the final binary). We're moving this into libLTO so that we can
be smarter when a cache is enabled and hard-link when possible
instead of duplicating the files.

In an IR symbol table I would expect the comdats to be represented as:
- A table of strings, one for each comdat name.
- Each symbol has an optional index into that table.
The natural api for accessing that would be
InputFile:
ArrayRef<StringRef> getComdatTable() const;
Symbol:
int getComdatIndex() const;
This patch implements an API as close to that as possible. The
implementation on top of the current IRObjectFile is a bit hackish,
but should map just fine over a symbol table and is very convenient to
use.

All of these existed because MSVC 2013 was unable to synthesize default
move ctors. We recently dropped support for it so all that error-prone
boilerplate can go.
No functionality change intended.

The NativeObjectOutput class has a design problem: it mixes up the caching
policy with the interface for output streams, which makes the client-side
code hard to follow and would for example make it harder to replace the
cache implementation in an arbitrary client.
This change separates the two aspects by moving the caching policy
to a separate field in Config, replacing NativeObjectOutput with a
NativeObjectStream class which only deals with streams and does not need to
be overridden by most clients and introducing an AddFile callback for adding
files (e.g. from the cache) to the link.

With the new LTO API in r278338, we stopped emitting the individual
index files and imports files for some modules in the distributed backend
case (thinlto-index-only plugin option).
Specifically, this is when the linker decides not to include a module in the
link, because it was in an archive library and did not have a strong
reference to it. Not creating the expected output files makes the
distributed build system implementation more difficult, in terms of
checking for the expected outputs of the thin link, and scheduling the
backend jobs. To address this, the gold-plugin will write dummy empty
.thinlto.bc and .imports files for modules not included in the link
(which LTO never sees).
Augmented a gold v1.12+ test, since that version of gold has the handling
for notifying on modules not being included in the link.
llvm-svn: 282100
Summary:
In runThinLTO we start the task numbering for ThinLTO backend
tasks depending on whether there was also a regular LTO object
(CombinedModule). However, the CombinedModule is moved at
the end of runRegularLTO, so we need to save this information and
pass it into runThinLTO. Otherwise the AddOutput callback to the client
will use the same task number for both the regular LTO object
and the first ThinLTO object, which in gold-plugin caused only
one to be end up in the output filename array and therefore passed
back to gold for the final native link.

Previously the prevailing information was not honored, and commons
symbols could override a strong definition. This patch fixes it and
propose the following semantic for commons: the client should mark
as prevailing the commons that it expects the LTO implementation to
merge (i.e. take the maximum size and alignment).
It implies that commons are allowed to have multiple prevailing
definitions.

Summary:
Have the cache pass back the path to the cache entry when it
is ready to be loaded, instead of a buffer.
For gold-plugin we can simply pass this file back to gold directly,
which avoids expensive writing of a separate tmp file. Ensure
the cache entry is not deleted on cleanup by adjusting the setting
of the IsTemporary flags.
Moved the loading of the buffer into llvm-lto2 to maintain current
behavior.

Summary:
I assume there was a use case, so maybe this strawman patch will help
clarifying if it is legit.
In any case the current situation is not legit: a ThinLTO compilation
should not trigger an unexpected full LTO compilation.
Right now, adding a --save-temps option triggers this and makes the
number of output differs.
