This addresses PR26060 where function lto_module_create() could return nullptr
but lto_get_error_message() returned an empty string.
The error() call after LTOModule::createFromFile() in llvm-lto is then removed
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
previously did not happen when the file was non-existent. This is fixed by the
patch. (The situation that llvm-lto reports an error when the input file does
not exist is tested by llvm/tools/llvm-lto/error.ll).

Summary:
The order of destructors in LTOCodeGenerator gets changed in r254696.
It is possible for LTOCodeGenerator to have a MergedModule created in
the OwnedContext, in which case the module must be destructed before
the context.

This is a continuation of r253367.
These functions return is owned by the caller, so they return
std::unique_ptr now.
The call can fail, so the return is wrapped in ErrorOr.
They have a context where to report diagnostics, so they don't need to
take a string out parameter.
With this there are no call to getGlobalContext in lib/LTO.

This patch removes the std::string& argument from a number of C++ LTO API calls
and instead makes them use the installed diagnostic handler. This would also
improve consistency of diagnostic handling infrastructure: if an LTO client used
lto_codegen_set_diagnostic_handler() to install a custom error handler, we do
not want some error messages to go through the custom error handler, and some
other error messages to go into sLastErrorString.

This is a follow-up from the previous discussion on the thread:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151019/307763.html
The LibLTO lto_get_error_message() API reads error messages from a std::string
sLastErrorString. Instead of passing this string around as an argument, this
patch creates a diagnostic handler and then sends this handler to the
constructor of LTOCodeGenerator.

The verifier currently runs three times in LTO: (1) after parsing, (2)
at the beginning of the optimization pipeline, and (3) at the end of it.
The first run is important, since we're not sure where the bitcode comes
from and it's nice to validate it, but in release builds the extra runs
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
by default in release builds (based on NDEBUG).
This shaves about 3.5% off the runtime of ld64 when linking
verify-uselistorder with -flto -g.

This change moves LTOCodeGenerator's ownership of the merged module to a
field of type std::unique_ptr<Module>. This helps simplify parts of the code
and clears the way for the module to be consumed by LLVM CodeGen (see D12132
review comments).

This allows us to remove a bunch of code in LTOCodeGenerator and llvm-lto
and has the side effect of improving error handling in the libLTO C API.

Specifically, remove the dependent library interface and replace the existing
linker option interface with a new one that returns a single list of flags.
Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D10820
llvm-svn: 241018
This change unifies how LTOModule and the backend obtain linker flags
for globals: via a new TargetLoweringObjectFile member function named
emitLinkerFlagsForGlobal. A new function LTOModule::getLinkerOpts() returns
the list of linker flags as a single concatenated string.
This change affects the C libLTO API: the function lto_module_get_*deplibs now
exposes an empty list, and lto_module_get_*linkeropts exposes a single element
which combines the contents of all observed flags. libLTO should never have
tried to parse the linker flags; it is the linker's job to do so. Because
linkers will need to be able to parse flags in regular object files, it
makes little sense for libLTO to have a redundant mechanism for doing so.
The new API is compatible with the old one. It is valid for a user to specify
multiple linker flags in a single pragma directive like this:
#pragma comment(linker, "/defaultlib:foo /defaultlib:bar")
The previous implementation would not have exposed
either flag via lto_module_get_*deplibs (as the test in
TargetLoweringObjectFileCOFF::getDepLibFromLinkerOpt was case sensitive)
and would have exposed "/defaultlib:foo /defaultlib:bar" as a single flag via
lto_module_get_*linkeropts. This may have been a bug in the implementation,
but it does give us a chance to fix the interface.

Start using C++ types such as StringRef and MemoryBuffer in the C++ LTO
API. In doing so, clarify the ownership of the native object file: the caller
now owns it, not the LTOCodeGenerator. The C libLTO library has been modified
to use a derived class of LTOCodeGenerator that owns the object file.

Reverse libLTO's default behaviour for preserving use-list order in
bitcode, and add API for controlling it. The default setting is now
`false` (don't preserve them), which is consistent with `clang`'s
default behaviour.
Users of libLTO should call `lto_codegen_should_embed_uselists(CG,true)`
prior to calling `lto_codegen_write_merged_modules()` whenever the
output file isn't part of the production workflow in order to reproduce
results with subsequent calls to `llc`.
(I haven't added tests since `llvm-lto` (the test tool for LTO) doesn't
support bitcode output, and even if it did: there isn't actually a good
way to test whether a tool has passed the flag. If the order is already
"natural" (if the order will already round-trip) then no use-list
directives are emitted at all. At some point I'll circle back to add
tests to `llvm-as` (etc.) that they actually respect the flag, at which
point I can somehow add a test here as well.)

When debugging LTO issues with ld64, we use -save-temps to save the merged
optimized bitcode file, then invoke ld64 again on the single bitcode file.
The saved bitcode file is already internalized, so we can call
lto_codegen_set_should_internalize and skip running internalization again.

This change also introduces a link-time optimization level of 1. This
optimization level runs only the globaldce pass as well as cleanup passes for
passes that run at -O0, specifically simplifycfg which cleans up lowerbitsets.

When debugging LTO issues with ld64, we use -save-temps to save the merged
optimized bitcode file, then invoke ld64 again on the single bitcode file to
speed up debugging code generation passes and ld64 stuff after code generation.
llvm linking a single bitcode file via lto_codegen_add_module will generate a
different bitcode file from the single input. With the newly-added
lto_codegen_set_module, we can make sure the destination module is the same as
the input.
lto_codegen_set_module will transfer the ownship of the module to code
generator.

lto_codegen_compile_optimized. Also add lto_api_version.
Before this commit, we can only dump the optimized bitcode after running
lto_codegen_compile, but it includes some impacts of running codegen passes,
one example is StackProtector pass. We will get assertion failure when running
llc on the optimized bitcode, because StackProtector is effectively run twice.
After splitting lto_codegen_compile, the linker can choose to dump the bitcode
before running lto_codegen_compile_optimized.
lto_api_version is added so ld64 can check for runtime-availability of the new
API.

Export symbols in libLTO.dylib for the local context-related functions
added in r221733 (`LTO_API_VERSION=11`)... and add the missing
definition for `lto_codegen_create_in_local_context()`.
llvm-svn: 224567
Add API for specifying which `LLVMContext` each `lto_module_t` and
`lto_code_gen_t` is in.
In particular, this enables the following flow:
for (auto &File : Files) {
lto_module_t M = lto_module_create_in_local_context(File...);
querySymbols(M);
lto_module_dispose(M);
}
lto_code_gen_t CG = lto_codegen_create_in_local_context();
for (auto &File : FilesToLink) {
lto_module_t M = lto_module_create_in_codegen_context(File..., CG);
lto_codegen_add_module(CG, M);
lto_module_dispose(M);
}
lto_codegen_compile(CG);
lto_codegen_write_merged_modules(CG, ...);
lto_codegen_dispose(CG);
This flow has a few benefits.
- Only one module (two if you count the combined module in the code
generator) is in memory at a time.
- Metadata (and constants) from files that are parsed to query symbols
but not linked into the code generator don't pollute the global
context.
- The first for loop can be parallelized, since each module is in its
own context.
- When the code generator is disposed, the memory from LTO gets freed.

We used to always vectorize (slp and loop vectorize) in the LTO pass pipeline.
r220345 changed it so that we used the PassManager's fields 'LoopVectorize' and
'SLPVectorize' out of the desire to be able to disable vectorization using the
cl::opt flags 'vectorize-loops'/'slp-vectorize' which the before mentioned
fields default to.
Unfortunately, this turns off vectorization because those fields
default to false.
This commit adds flags to the LTO library to disable lto vectorization which
reconciles the desire to optionally disable vectorization during LTO and
the desired behavior of defaulting to enabled vectorization.
We really want tools to set PassManager flags directly to enable/disable
vectorization and not go the route via cl::opt flags *in*
PassManagerBuilder.cpp.

This adds support for an -mattr option to the gold plugin and to llvm-lto. This
allows the caller to specify details of the subtarget architecture, like +aes,
or +ssse3 on x86. Note that this requires a change to the include/llvm-c/lto.h
interface: it adds a function lto_codegen_set_attr and it increments the
version of the interface.

The same code (~20 lines) for initializing a TargetOptions object from CodeGen
cmdline flags is duplicated 4 times in 4 different tools. This patch moves it
into a utility function.
Since the CodeGen/CommandFlags.h file defines cl::opt flags in a header, it's
a bit of a touchy situation because we should only link them into tools. So this
patch puts the init function in the header.
llvm-svn: 201699
This function adds an extra path argument to lto_module_create_from_memory.
The path argument will be passed to makeBuffer to make sure the MemoryBuffer
has a name and the created module has a module identifier.
This is mainly for emitting warning messages from the linker. When we emit
warning message on a module, we can use the module identifier.

Add a hook in the C API of LTO so that clients of the code generator can set
their own handler for the LLVM diagnostics.
The handler is defined like this:
typedef void (*lto_diagnostic_handler_t)(lto_codegen_diagnostic_severity_t
severity, const char *diag, void *ctxt)
- severity says how bad this is.
- diag is a string that contains the diagnostic message.
- ctxt is the registered context for this handler.
This hook is more general than the lto_get_error_message, since this function
keeps only the latest message and can only be queried when something went wrong
(no warning for instance).

Reapply r199191, reverted in r199197 because it carelessly broke
Other/link-opts.ll. The problem was that calling
createInternalizePass("main") would select
createInternalizePass(bool("main")) instead of
createInternalizePass(ArrayRef<const char *>("main")). This commit
fixes the bug.
The original commit message follows.
Add API to LTOCodeGenerator to specify a strategy for the -internalize
pass.
This is a new attempt at Bill's change in r185882, which he reverted in
r188029 due to problems with the gold linker. This puts the onus on the
linker to decide whether (and what) to internalize.
In particular, running internalize before outputting an object file may
change a 'weak' symbol into an internal one, even though that symbol
could be needed by an external object file --- e.g., with arclite.
This patch enables three strategies:
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL: the default (and the old behaviour).
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_NONE: skip -internalize.
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN: only -internalize symbols with hidden
visibility.
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL should be used when linking an executable.
Outputting an object file (e.g., via ld -r) is more complicated, and
depends on whether hidden symbols should be internalized. E.g., for
ld -r, LTO_INTERNALIZE_NONE can be used when -keep_private_externs, and
LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN can be used otherwise. However,
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL is inappropriate, since the output object file will
eventually need to link with others.
lto_codegen_set_internalize_strategy() sets the strategy for subsequent
calls to lto_codegen_write_merged_modules() and lto_codegen_compile*().

There are two ways one could implement hiding of linkonce_odr symbols in LTO:
* LLVM tells the linker which symbols can be hidden if not used from native
files.
* The linker tells LLVM which symbols are not used from other object files,
but will be put in the dso symbol table if present.
GOLD's API is the second option. It was implemented almost 1:1 in llvm by
passing the list down to internalize.
LLVM already had partial support for the first option. It is also very similar
to how ld64 handles hiding these symbols when *not* doing LTO.
This patch then
* removes the APIs for the DSO list.
* marks LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_DEFAULT_CAN_BE_HIDDEN all linkonce_odr unnamed_addr
global values and other linkonce_odr whose address is not used.
* makes the gold plugin responsible for handling the API mismatch.
