The first customer is ThinLTO, however the data structures are designed
and named more generally based on prior feedback. There are a few
comments regarding how certain interfaces are used by ThinLTO, and the
options added here to gold currently have ThinLTO-specific names as the
behavior they provoke is currently ThinLTO-specific.
This patch includes support for generating per-module function indexes,
the combined index file via the gold plugin, and several tests
(more are included with the associated clang patch D11908).

Change the callers of `WriteToBitcodeFile()` to pass `true` or
`shouldPreserveBitcodeUseListOrder()` explicitly. I left the callers
that want to send `false` alone.
I'll keep pushing the bit higher until hopefully I can delete the global
`cl::opt` entirely.

We only defer loading metadata inside ParseModule when ShouldLazyLoadMetadata
is true and we have not loaded any Metadata block yet.
This commit implements all-or-nothing loading of Metadata. If there is a
request to load any metadata block, we will load all deferred metadata blocks.
We make sure the deferred metadata blocks are loaded before we materialize any
function or a module.
The default value of the added parameter ShouldLazyLoadMetadata for
getLazyBitcodeModule is false, so the default behavior stays the same.
We only set the parameter to true when creating LTOModule in local contexts.
These can only really be used for parsing symbols, so it's unnecessary to ever
load the metadata blocks.
If we are going to enable lazy-loading of Metadata for other usages of
getLazyBitcodeModule, where deferred metadata blocks need to be loaded, we can
expose BitcodeReader::materializeMetadata to Module, similar to
Module::materialize.

The bitcode reading interface used std::error_code to report an error to the
callers and it is the callers job to print diagnostics.
This is not ideal for error handling or diagnostic reporting:
* For error handling, all that the callers care about is 3 possibilities:
* It worked
* The bitcode file is corrupted/invalid.
* The file is not bitcode at all.
* For diagnostic, it is user friendly to include far more information
about the invalid case so the user can find out what is wrong with the
bitcode file. This comes up, for example, when a developer introduces a
bug while extending the format.
The compromise we had was to have a lot of error codes.
With this patch we use the DiagnosticHandler to communicate with the
human and std::error_code to communicate with the caller.
This allows us to have far fewer error codes and adds the infrastructure to
print better diagnostics. This is so because the diagnostics are printed when
he issue is found. The code that detected the problem in alive in the stack and
can pass down as much context as needed. As an example the patch updates
test/Bitcode/invalid.ll.
Using a DiagnosticHandler also moves the fatal/non-fatal error decision to the
caller. A simple one like llvm-dis can just use fatal errors. The gold plugin
needs a bit more complex treatment because of being passed non-bitcode files. An
hypothetical interactive tool would make all bitcode errors non-fatal.

This forces callers to use std::move when calling it. It is somewhat odd to have
code with std::move that doesn't always move, but it is also odd to have code
without std::move that sometimes moves.

The attached patch simplifies a few interfaces that don't need to take
ownership of a buffer.
For example, both parseAssembly and parseBitcodeFile will parse the
entire buffer before returning. There is no need to take ownership.
Using a MemoryBufferRef makes it obvious in the type signature that
there is no ownership transfer.

`BlockAddress`es are interesting in that they can reference basic blocks
from *outside* the block's function. Since basic blocks are not global
values, this presents particular challenges for lazy parsing.
One corner case was found in PR11677 and fixed in r147425. In that
case, a global variable references a block address. It's necessary to
load the relevant function to resolve the forward reference before doing
anything with the module.
By inspection, I found (and have fixed here) two other cases:
- An instruction from one function references a block address from
another function, and only the first function is lazily loaded.
I fixed this the same way as PR11677: by eagerly loading the
referenced function.
- A function whose block address is taken is dematerialized, leaving
invalid references to it.
I fixed this by refusing to dematerialize functions whose block
addresses are taken (if you have to load it, you can't unload it).

This will let users in other libraries know which error occurred. In particular,
it will be possible to check if the parsing failed or if the file is not
bitcode.

This reverts commit r212342.
We can get a StringRef into the current Record, but not one in the bitcode
itself since the string is compressed in it.
llvm-svn: 212356
This allows us to just use a std::unique_ptr to store the pointer to the buffer.
The flip side is that they have to support releasing the buffer back to the
caller.
Overall this looks like a more efficient and less brittle api.
llvm-svn: 211542
We do have use cases for the bitcode reader owning the buffer or not, but we
always know which one we have when we construct it.
It might be possible to simplify this further, but this is a step in the
right direction.

This moves the old pass creation functionality to its own header and
updates the callers of that routine. Then it adds a new PM supporting
bitcode writer to the header file, and wires that up in the opt tool.
A test is added that round-trips code into bitcode and back out using
the new pass manager.

There is a pretty staggering amount of this in LLVM's header files, this
is not all of the instances I'm afraid. These include all of the
functions that (in my build) are used by a non-static inline (or
external) function. Specifically, these issues were caught by the new
'-Winternal-linkage-in-inline' warning.
I'll try to just clean up the remainder of the clearly redundant "static
inline" cases on functions (not methods!) defined within headers if
I can do so in a reliable way.
There were even several cases of a missing 'inline' altogether, or my
personal favorite "static bool inline". Go figure. ;]

This CL delays reading of function bodies from initial parse until
materialization, allowing overlap of compilation with bitcode download.

Modules and ModuleProviders. Because the "ModuleProvider" simply materializes
GlobalValues now, and doesn't provide modules, it's renamed to
"GVMaterializer". Code that used to need a ModuleProvider to materialize
Functions can now materialize the Functions directly. Functions no longer use a
magic linkage to record that they're materializable; they simply ask the
GVMaterializer.
Because the C ABI must never change, we can't remove LLVMModuleProviderRef or
the functions that refer to it. Instead, because Module now exposes the same
functionality ModuleProvider used to, we store a Module* in any
LLVMModuleProviderRef and translate in the wrapper methods. The bindings to
other languages still use the ModuleProvider concept. It would probably be
worth some time to update them to follow the C++ more closely, but I don't
intend to do it.
Fixes http://llvm.org/PR5737 and http://llvm.org/PR5735.
