After comdat processing, the symbols still go through regular symbol
resolution.
We were not doing it for linkonce symbols since they are lazy linked.
This fixes pr27044.
llvm-svn: 264288
If not for lazy linking of linkonce GVs, comdats are just a
preprocessing before symbol resolution.
Lazy linking complicates it since when we pick a visible member of
comdat, we have to make sure the rest of it passes symbol resolution
too.
llvm-svn: 264223
If a comdat is dropped, all symbols in it are dropped.
If a comdat is kept, the symbols survive to pass regular symbol
resolution.
With this patch we do that for all global symbols.
The added test is a copy of test/tools/gold/X86/comdat.ll that we now
pass.
llvm-svn: 264192
A really unfortunate design of llvm-link and related libraries is that
they operate one module at a time.
This means they can copy a GV to the destination module that should not
be there in the final result because a later bitcode file takes
precedence.
We already handled cases like a strong GV replacing a weak for example.
One case that is not currently handled is a comdat replacing another.
This doesn't happen in ELF, but with COFF largest selection kind it is
possible.
In "llvm-link a.ll b.ll" if the selected comdat was from a.ll,
everything will work and we will not copy the comdat from b.ll.
But if we run "llvm-link b.ll a.ll", we fail to delete the already
copied comdat from b.ll. This patch fixes that.
llvm-svn: 264103
Summary:
ThinLTO is relying on linkInModule to import selected function.
However a lot of "magic" was hidden in linkInModule and the IRMover,
who would rename and promote global variables on the fly.
This is moving to an approach where the steps are decoupled and the
client is reponsible to specify the list of globals to import.
As a consequence some test are changed because they were relying on
the previous behavior which was importing the definition of *every*
single global without control on the client side.
Now the burden is on the client to decide if a global has to be imported
or not.

(Resubmitting after fixing missing file issue)
With the changes in r263275, there are now more than just functions in
the summary. Completed the renaming of data structures (started in
r263275) to reflect the wider scope. In particular, changed the
FunctionIndex* data structures to ModuleIndex*, and renamed related
variables and comments. Also renamed the files to reflect the changes.
A companion clang patch will immediately succeed this patch to reflect
this renaming.

Summary:
Since we are currently not doing incremental importing there is
no need to link metadata as a postpass. The module linker will
only link in the imported subroutines due to the functionality
added by r256003.
(Note that the metadata postpass linking functionalitiy is still
used by llvm-link, and may be needed here in the future if a more
incremental strategy is adopted.)

Due to the new in-place ThinLTO symbol handling support added in
r257174, we now invoke renameModuleForThinLTO on the current
module from within the FunctionImport pass.
Additionally, renameModuleForThinLTO no longer needs to return the
Module as it is performing the renaming in place on the one provided.
This commit will be immediately preceeded by a companion clang patch to
remove its invocation of renameModuleForThinLTO.
llvm-svn: 257181
Summary:
Move ThinLTO global value processing functions out of ModuleLinker and
into a new ThinLTOGlobalProcessor class, which performs any necessary
linkage and naming changes on the given module in place.
As a result, renameModuleForThinLTO no longer needs to create a new
Module when performing any necessary local to global promotion on a
module that we are possibly exporting from during a ThinLTO backend
compilation.
During function importing the ThinLTO processing is still invoked from
the ModuleLinker (via the new class), as it needs to perform renaming and
linkage changes on the source module, e.g. in order to get the correct
renaming during local to global promotion.

Summary:
Second patch split out from http://reviews.llvm.org/D14752.
Maps metadata as a post-pass from each module when importing complete,
suturing up final metadata to the temporary metadata left on the
imported instructions.
This entails saving the mapping from bitcode value id to temporary
metadata in the importing pass, and from bitcode value id to final
metadata during the metadata linking postpass.
Depends on D14825.

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
A linker normally has two stages: symbol resolution and "moving stuff".
In lib/Linker there is the complication of lazy linking some globals,
but it was still far more mixed than it needed to.
This splits the linker into a lower level IRMover and the linker proper.
The IRMover just takes a list of globals to move and a callback that
lets the user control what is lazy linked.
The main motivation is that now tools/gold (and soon lld) can use their
own symbol resolution to instruct IRMover what to do.
llvm-svn: 255254
Now instead of changing it to the new format and then linking, it just
handles the old format while copying it over.
The main differences are:
* There is no rauw in the source module.
* An old format input is always upgraded.
The first item helps with having a sane API that passes in a GV list to
the linker.
The second one is a small step in deprecating the old format.
llvm-svn: 254907
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.

Summary:
Fix import from module with appending var, which cannot be imported. The
first fix is to remove an overly-aggressive error check.
The second fix is to deal with restructuring introduced to the module
linker yesterday in r254418 (actually, this fix was included already
in r254559, just added some additional cleanup).
Test by Mehdi Amini.

There is no real reason the index has to have the concept of an
exporting Module. We should be able to have one single unique
instance of the Index, and it should be read-only after creation
for the whole ThinLTO processing.
The linker plugin should be able to process multiple modules (in
parallel or in sequence) with the same index.
The only reason the ExportingModule was present seems to be to
implement hasExportedFunctions() that is used by the Module linker
to decide what to do with the current Module.
For now I replaced it with a query to the map of Modules path to
see if this module was declared in the Index and consider that if
it is the case then it is probably exporting function.
On the long term the Linker interface needs to evolve and this
call should not be needed anymore.

This replaces DoNotLinkFromSource with ValuesToLink. It also moves the
computation of ValuesToLink earlier.
It is a bit simpler and an important step in slitting the linker into an
ir mover and a linker proper.
The test change is because we now avoid creating dead declarations.
llvm-svn: 254559
Having to import an alias as declaration is not thinlto specific.
The test difference are because when we already have a decl and we are
not importing it, we just leave the decl alone.
llvm-svn: 254556
For efficiency reason, when importing multiple functions for the same Module,
we can avoid reparsing it every time.
