Teresa Johnson b00a3e6034 [ThinLTO] Launch importing backends in parallel threads from gold plugin Summary: Launch ThinLTO backends (LTO and codegen pipelines with importing) in parallel using a ThreadPool, after creating the combined index. The number of threads is controlled by the existing -jobs gold plugin option, or the hardware concurrency if not specified. The old behavior of exiting after creating the combined index can be invoked via a new thinlto-index-only plugin option. This commit involves just the ThinLTO-specific pieces of D15390, the NFC and other restructuring pieces were committed independently: r262677: Add hardware_concurrency interface to llvm::thread (NFC) r262719: Change split code gen to use ThreadPool r262721: Refactor gold-plugin codegen to prepare for ThinLTO threads (NFC) Reviewers: pcc, joker.eph, rafael Subscribers: rafael, davidxl, llvm-commits, joker.eph Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D15390 llvm-svn: 262724		2016-03-04 17:06:02 +00:00

The LLVM Gold LTO Plugin
========================

This directory contains a plugin that is designed to work with binutils
gold linker. At present time, this is not the default linker in
binutils, and the default build of gold does not support plugins.

See docs/GoldPlugin.html for complete build and usage instructions.

NOTE: libLTO and LLVMgold aren't built without PIC because they would fail
to link on x86-64 with a relocation error: PIC and non-PIC can't be combined.
As an alternative to passing --enable-pic, you can use 'make ENABLE_PIC=1' in
your entire LLVM build.
