Summary: Currently the ThinLTO minimized bitcode file only strip the debug info, but there is still a lot of information in the minimized bit code file that will be not used for thin linker. In this patch, most of the extra information is striped to reduce the minimized bitcode file. Now only ModuleVersion, ModuleInfo, ModuleGlobalValueSummary, ModuleHash, Symtab and Strtab are left. Now the minimized bitcode file size is reduced to 15%-30% of the debug info stripped bitcode file size.

OpenCL 2.0 introduces the notion of memory scopes in atomic operations to
global and local memory. These scopes restrict how synchronization is
achieved, which can result in improved performance.
This change extends existing notion of synchronization scopes in LLVM to
support arbitrary scopes expressed as target-specific strings, in addition to
the already defined scopes (single thread, system).
The LLVM IR and MIR syntax for expressing synchronization scopes has changed
to use *syncscope("<scope>")*, where <scope> can be "singlethread" (this
replaces *singlethread* keyword), or a target-specific name. As before, if
the scope is not specified, it defaults to CrossThread/System scope.
Implementation details:
- Mapping from synchronization scope name/string to synchronization scope id
is stored in LLVM context;
- CrossThread/System and SingleThread scopes are pre-defined to efficiently
check for known scopes without comparing strings;
- Synchronization scope names are stored in SYNC_SCOPE_NAMES_BLOCK in
the bitcode.

If a regular LTO module has a summary index, then instead of linking
it into the combined regular LTO module right away, add it to the
combined summary index and associate it with a special module that
represents the combined regular LTO module.
Any such modules are linked during LTO::run(), at which time we use
the results of summary-based dead stripping to control whether to
link prevailing symbols.

Add a top-level STRTAB block containing a string table blob, and start storing
strings for module codes FUNCTION, GLOBALVAR, ALIAS, IFUNC and COMDAT in
the string table.
This change allows us to share names between globals and comdats as well
as between modules, and improves the efficiency of loading bitcode files by
no longer using a bit encoding for symbol names. Once we start writing the
irsymtab to the bitcode file we will also be able to share strings between
it and the module.
On my machine, link time for Chromium for Linux with ThinLTO decreases by
about 7% for no-op incremental builds or about 1% for full builds. Total
bitcode file size decreases by about 3%.

Summary:
The cumulative size of the bitcode files for a very large application
can be huge, particularly with -g. In a distributed build environment,
all of these files must be sent to the remote build node that performs
the thin link step, and this can exceed size limits.
The thin link actually only needs the summary along with a bitcode
symbol table. Until we have a proper bitcode symbol table, simply
stripping the debug metadata results in significant size reduction.
Add support for an option to additionally emit minimized bitcode
modules, just for use in the thin link step, which for now just strips
all debug metadata. I plan to add a cc1 option so this can be invoked
easily during the compile step.
However, care must be taken to ensure that these minimized thin link
bitcode files produce the same index as with the original bitcode files,
as these original bitcode files will be used in the backends.
Specifically:
1) The module hash used for caching is typically produced by hashing the
written bitcode, and we want to include the hash that would correspond
to the original bitcode file. This is because we want to ensure that
changes in the stripped portions affect caching. Added plumbing to emit
the same module hash in the minimized thin link bitcode file.
2) The module paths in the index are constructed from the module ID of
each thin linked bitcode, and typically is automatically generated from
the input file path. This is the path used for finding the modules to
import from, and obviously we need this to point to the original bitcode
files. Added gold-plugin support to take a suffix replacement during the
thin link that is used to override the identifier on the MemoryBufferRef
constructed from the loaded thin link bitcode file. The assumption is
that the build system can specify that the minimized bitcode file has a
name that is similar but uses a different suffix (e.g. out.thinlink.bc
instead of out.o).
Added various tests to ensure that we get identical index files out of
the thin link step.

If this is a problem for anyone (shared_ptr is two pointers in size,
whereas IntrusiveRefCntPtr is 1 - and the ref count control block that
make_shared adds is probably larger than the one int in RefCountedBase)
I'd prefer to address this by adding a lower-overhead version of
shared_ptr (possibly refactoring IntrusiveRefCntPtr into such a thing)
to avoid the intrusiveness - this allows memory ownership to remain
orthogonal to types and at least to me, seems to make code easier to
understand (since no implicit ownership acquisition can happen).
This recommits 291006, reverted in r291007.

This index record the position for each metadata record in
the bitcode, so that the reader will be able to lazy-load
on demand each individual record.
We also make sure that every abbrev is emitted upfront so
that the block can be skipped while reading.
I don't plan to commit this before having the reader
counterpart, but I figured this can be reviewed mostly
independently.
Recommit r290684 (was reverted in r290686 because a test
was broken) after adding a threshold to avoid emitting
the index when unnecessary (little amount of metadata).
This optimization "hides" a limitation of the ability
to backpatch in the bitstream: we can only backpatch
safely when the position has been flushed. So if we emit
an index for one metadata, it is possible that (part of)
the offset placeholder hasn't been flushed and the backpatch
will fail.

This patch implements PR31013 by introducing a
DIGlobalVariableExpression that holds a pair of DIGlobalVariable and
DIExpression.
Currently, DIGlobalVariables holds a DIExpression. This is not the
best way to model this:
(1) The DIGlobalVariable should describe the source level variable,
not how to get to its location.
(2) It makes it unsafe/hard to update the expressions when we call
replaceExpression on the DIGLobalVariable.
(3) It makes it impossible to represent a global variable that is in
more than one location (e.g., a variable with multiple
DW_OP_LLVM_fragment-s). We also moved away from attaching the
DIExpression to DILocalVariable for the same reasons.
This reapplies r289902 with additional testcase upgrades and a change
to the Bitcode record for DIGlobalVariable, that makes upgrading the
old format unambiguous also for variables without DIExpressions.

Summary:
When reading the metadata bitcode, create a type declaration when
possible for composite types when we are importing. Doing this in
the bitcode reader saves memory. Also it works naturally in the case
when the type ODR map contains a definition for the same composite type
because it was used in the importing module (buildODRType will
automatically use the existing definition and not create a type
declaration).
For Chromium built with -g2, this reduces the aggregate size of the
generated native object files by 66% (from 31G to 10G). It reduced
the time through the ThinLTO link and backend phases by about 20% on
my machine.

I forgot to implement a Bitcode upgrade for the case where a DIGlobalVariable
has not DIExpression. Unfortunately it is not possible to safely upgrade
these variables without adding a flag to the bitcode record indicating which
version they are.
My plan of record is to roll the planned follow-up patch that adds a
unit: field to DIGlobalVariable into this patch before recomitting.
This way we only need one Bitcode upgrade for both changes (with a
version flag in the bitcode record to safely distinguish the record
formats).

We now expect each module's identification block to appear immediately before
the module block. Any module block that appears without an identification block
immediately before it is interpreted as if it does not have a module block.
Also change the interpretation of VST and function offsets in bitcode.
The offset is always taken as relative to the start of the identification
(or module if not present) block, minus one word. This corresponds to the
historical interpretation of offsets, i.e. relative to the start of the file.
These changes allow for bitcode modules to be concatenated by copying bytes.

This is to address Chandler's concern about sharing the same API header

why we create a single bitcode library in our downstream build of clang,
which led to r286297 being reverted as it added a dependency that

If the inrange keyword is present before any index, loading from or

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.
