Unique ownership is just one possible ownership pattern for the memory buffer
underlying the bitcode reader. In practice, as this patch shows, ownership can
often reside at a higher level. With the upcoming change to allow multiple
modules in a single bitcode file, it will no longer be appropriate for
modules to generally have unique ownership of their memory buffer.
The C API exposes the ownership relation via the LLVMGetBitcodeModuleInContext
and LLVMGetBitcodeModuleInContext2 functions, so we still need some way for
the module to own the memory buffer. This patch does so by adding an owned
memory buffer field to Module, and using it in a few other places where it
is convenient.

There is no point to importing at -O0, since we won't inline. We should

Summary:
When we have an aliasee that is linkonce, while we can't convert
the non-prevailing copies to available_externally, we still need to
convert the prevailing copy to weak. If a reference to the aliasee
is exported, not converting a copy to weak will result in undefined
references when the linkonce is removed in its original module.
Add a new test and update existing tests.

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.

This is a follow-up to D25416. It removes all usages of TimeValue from
llvm/Support library (except for the actual TimeValue declaration), and replaces
them with appropriate usages of std::chrono. To facilitate this, I have added
small utility functions for converting time points and durations into appropriate
OS-specific types (FILETIME, struct timespec, ...).

Changes default backend parallelism from thread::hardware_concurrency to
the new llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency, which for X86 Linux
defaults to the number of physical cores (and will fall back to
thread::hardware_concurrency otherwise). This avoid oversubscribing
the physical cores using hyperthreading.

Declare the LLVM_CMAKE_PATH to the source directory location of CMake
files, in order to make it possible to easily use them in subprojects.
Such a variable is already declared in most of LLVM projects
(and inconsistently mixed with direct source tree references), including
Clang, LLDB, compiler-rt, libcxx... Declaring it inside main LLVM tree
makes it possible to avoid having to declare fallback values or use
conditionals in those projects.
It should be noted that in some of the subprojects LLVM_CMAKE_PATH is
used to reference generated LLVMConfig.cmake file. However, these
references are conditional to stand-alone builds and explicitly
including this file is unnecessary in combined builds.

Module inline asm was always being linked/concatenated
when running the IRLinker. This is correct for full LTO but not when
we are importing for ThinLTO, as it can result in multiply defined
symbols when the module asm defines a global symbol.
In order to test with llvm-lto2, I had to work around PR30396,
where a symbol that is defined in module assembly but defined in the
LLVM IR appears twice. Added workaround to llvm-lto2 with a FIXME.
Fixes PR30610.

Summary:
This patch improves thinlto importer
by importing 3x larger functions that are called from hot block.
I compared performance with the trunk on spec, and there
were about 2% on povray and 3.33% on milc. These results seems
to be consistant and match the results Teresa got with her simple
heuristic. Some benchmarks got slower but I think they are just
noisy (mcf, xalancbmki, omnetpp)- running the benchmarks again with
more iterations to confirm. Geomean of all benchmarks including the noisy ones
were about +0.02%.
I see much better improvement on google branch with Easwaran patch
for pgo callsite inlining (the inliner actually inline those big functions)
Over all I see +0.5% improvement, and I get +8.65% on povray.
So I guess we will see much bigger change when Easwaran patch will land
(it depends on new pass manager), but it is still worth putting this to trunk
before it.
Implementation details changes:
- Removed CallsiteCount.
- ProfileCount got replaced by Hotness
- hot-import-multiplier is set to 3.0 for now,
didn't have time to tune it up, but I see that we get most of the interesting
functions with 3, so there is no much performance difference with higher, and
binary size doesn't grow as much as with 10.0.

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:
Emit an empty summary section, instead of no summary section, when
there are no global variables in the index. This ensures that LTO
will treat these files as ThinLTO inputs, instead of as regular
LTO inputs.
In addition to not being what the user likely intended when
compiling with -flto=thin, the current behavior is problematic for
distributed build systems that expect to get ThinLTO index and imports
files back for each input compiled with -flto=thin. Combining into
a single regular LTO module also reduces the backend parallelism.
And in the case where the index was suppressed due to uses in
inline assembly, combining into a single LTO module could provoke
renaming of duplicates that we were trying to prevent by suppressing
the index.
This change required a couple of fixes to handle the empty summary
section.

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:
This addresses a regression in common handling from the new LTO
API in r278338. Only create a new common if the size is different.
The type comparison against an array type fails when the size is
different but not an array. GlobalMerge does not handle the
array types as well and we lose some global merging opportunities.

Have the cache pass back the path to the cache entry when it

For gold-plugin we can simply pass this file back to gold directly,

the cache entry is not deleted on cleanup by adjusting the setting
of the IsTemporary flags.

I assume there was a use case, so maybe this strawman patch will help

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.
