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.

Summary: Because SamplePGO passes will be invoked twice in ThinLTO build: once at compile phase, the other at backend. We want to make sure the IR at the 2nd phase matches the hot part in profile, thus we do not want to inline hot callsites in the first phase.

This pass prepares a module containing type metadata for ThinLTO by splitting
it into regular and thin LTO parts if possible, and writing both parts to
a multi-module bitcode file. Modules that do not contain type metadata are
written unmodified as a single module.
All globals with type metadata are added to the regular LTO module, and
the rest are added to the thin LTO module.

This adds a new function to DebugInfo.cpp that takes an llvm::Module
as input and removes all debug info metadata that is not directly
needed for line tables, thus effectively stripping all type and
variable information from the module.
The primary motivation for this feature was the bitcode work flow
(cf. http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-June/100643.html
for more background). This is not wired up yet, but will be in
subsequent patches. For testing, the new functionality is exposed to
opt with a -strip-nonlinetable-debuginfo option.
The secondary use-case (and one that works right now!) is as a
reduction pass in bugpoint. I added two new bugpoint options
(-disable-strip-debuginfo and -disable-strip-debug-types) to control
the new features. By default it will first attempt to remove all debug
information, then only the type info, and then proceed to hack at any
remaining MDNodes.

minimal and boring form than the old pass manager's version.
This pass does the very minimal amount of work necessary to inline
functions declared as always-inline. It doesn't support a wide array of
things that the legacy pass manager did support, but is alse ... about
20 lines of code. So it has that going for it. Notably things this
doesn't support:
- Array alloca merging
- To support the above, bottom-up inlining with careful history
tracking and call graph updates
- DCE of the functions that become dead after this inlining.
- Inlining through call instructions with the always_inline attribute.
Instead, it focuses on inlining functions with that attribute.
The first I've omitted because I'm hoping to just turn it off for the
primary pass manager. If that doesn't pan out, I can add it here but it
will be reasonably expensive to do so.
The second should really be handled by running global-dce after the
inliner. I don't want to re-implement the non-trivial logic necessary to
do comdat-correct DCE of functions. This means the -O0 pipeline will
have to be at least 'always-inline,global-dce', but that seems
reasonable to me. If others are seriously worried about this I'd like to
hear about it and understand why. Again, this is all solveable by
factoring that logic into a utility and calling it here, but I'd like to
wait to do that until there is a clear reason why the existing
pass-based factoring won't work.
The final point is a serious one. I can fairly easily add support for
this, but it seems both costly and a confusing construct for the use
case of the always inliner running at -O0. This attribute can of course
still impact the normal inliner easily (although I find that
a questionable re-use of the same attribute). I've started a discussion
to sort out what semantics we want here and based on that can figure out
if it makes sense ta have this complexity at O0 or not.
One other advantage of this design is that it should be quite a bit
faster due to checking for whether the function is a viable candidate
for inlining exactly once per function instead of doing it for each call
site.
Anyways, hopefully a reasonable starting point for this pass.

The bitset metadata currently used in LLVM has a few problems:
1. It has the wrong name. The name "bitset" refers to an implementation
detail of one use of the metadata (i.e. its original use case, CFI).
This makes it harder to understand, as the name makes no sense in the
context of virtual call optimization.
2. It is represented using a global named metadata node, rather than
being directly associated with a global. This makes it harder to
manipulate the metadata when rebuilding global variables, summarise it
as part of ThinLTO and drop unused metadata when associated globals are
dropped. For this reason, CFI does not currently work correctly when
both CFI and vcall opt are enabled, as vcall opt needs to rebuild vtable
globals, and fails to associate metadata with the rebuilt globals. As I
understand it, the same problem could also affect ASan, which rebuilds
globals with a red zone.
This patch solves both of those problems in the following way:
1. Rename the metadata to "type metadata". This new name reflects how
the metadata is currently being used (i.e. to represent type information
for CFI and vtable opt). The new name is reflected in the name for the
associated intrinsic (llvm.type.test) and pass (LowerTypeTests).
2. Attach metadata directly to the globals that it pertains to, rather
than using the "llvm.bitsets" global metadata node as we are doing now.
This is done using the newly introduced capability to attach
metadata to global variables (r271348 and r271358).

This will save a bunch of copies / initialization of intermediate
datastructure, and (hopefully) simplify the code.
This also abstract the symbol preservation mechanism outside of the
Internalization pass into the client code, which is not forced
to keep a map of strings for instance (ThinLTO will prefere hashes).

convert one test to use this.
This is a particularly significant milestone because it required
a working per-function AA framework which can be queried over each
function from within a CGSCC transform pass (and additionally a module
analysis to be accessible). This is essentially *the* point of the
entire pass manager rewrite. A CGSCC transform is able to query for
multiple different function's analysis results. It works. The whole
thing appears to actually work and accomplish the original goal. While
we were able to hack function attrs and basic-aa to "work" in the old
pass manager, this port doesn't use any of that, it directly leverages
the new fundamental functionality.
For this to work, the CGSCC framework also has to support SCC-based
behavior analysis, etc. The only part of the CGSCC pass infrastructure
not sorted out at this point are the updates in the face of inlining and
running function passes that mutate the call graph.
The changes are pretty boring and boiler-plate. Most of the work was
factored into more focused preperatory patches. But this is what wires
it all together.

This pass implements whole program optimization of virtual calls in cases
where we know (via bitset information) that the list of callees is fixed. This
includes the following:
- Single implementation devirtualization: if a virtual call has a single
possible callee, replace all calls with a direct call to that callee.
- Virtual constant propagation: if the virtual function's return type is an
integer <=64 bits and all possible callees are readnone, for each class and
each list of constant arguments: evaluate the function, store the return
value alongside the virtual table, and rewrite each virtual call as a load
from the virtual table.
- Uniform return value optimization: if the conditions for virtual constant
propagation hold and each function returns the same constant value, replace
each virtual call with that constant.
- Unique return value optimization for i1 return values: if the conditions
for virtual constant propagation hold and a single vtable's function
returns 0, or a single vtable's function returns 1, replace each virtual
call with a comparison of the vptr against that vtable's address.

a top-down manner into a true top-down or RPO pass over the call graph.
There are specific patterns of function attributes, notably the
norecurse attribute, which are most effectively propagated top-down
because all they us caller information.
Walk in RPO over the call graph SCCs takes the form of a module pass run
immediately after the CGSCC pass managers postorder walk of the SCCs,
trying again to deduce norerucrse for each singular SCC in the call
graph.
This removes a very legacy pass manager specific trick of using a lazy
revisit list traversed during finalization of the CGSCC pass. There is
no analogous finalization step in the new pass manager, and a lazy
revisit list is just trying to produce an RPO iteration of the call
graph. We can do that more directly if more expensively. It seems
unlikely that this will be the expensive part of any compilation though
as we never examine the function bodies here. Even in an LTO run over
a very large module, this should be a reasonable fast set of operations
over a reasonably small working set -- the function call graph itself.
In the future, if this really is a compile time performance issue, we
can look at building support for both post order and RPO traversals
directly into a pass manager that builds and maintains the PO list of
SCCs.

This pass eliminates available externally globals (turning them into
declarations), regardless of whether they are dead/unreferenced, since
we are guaranteed to have a copy available elsewhere at link time.
This enables additional opportunities for GlobalDCE.
If we are preparing for LTO (e.g. a -flto -c compile), the pass is not
included as we want to preserve available externally functions for possible
link time inlining. The FE indicates whether we are doing an -flto compile
via the new PrepareForLTO flag on the PassManagerBuilder.

This patch introduces a new mechanism that allows IR modules to co-operatively
build pointer sets corresponding to addresses within a given set of
globals. One particular use case for this is to allow a C++ program to
efficiently verify (at each call site) that a vtable pointer is in the set
of valid vtable pointers for the class or its derived classes. One way of
doing this is for a toolchain component to build, for each class, a bit set
that maps to the memory region allocated for the vtables, such that each 1
bit in the bit set maps to a valid vtable for that class, and lay out the
vtables next to each other, to minimize the total size of the bit sets.
The patch introduces a metadata format for representing pointer sets, an
'@llvm.bitset.test' intrinsic and an LTO lowering pass that lays out the globals
and builds the bitsets, and documents the new feature.

- The utility functions live in lib/IR/UseListOrder.cpp.
- Moved (and renamed) the command-line option to enable writing
use-lists, so that this pass can return early if the use-list orders
aren't being serialized.
It's not clear that this pass is the right direction long-term (perhaps
a separate tool instead?), but short-term it's a great way to test the
use-list order prototype. I've added an XFAIL-ed testcase that I'm

There's a bit of duplicated "magic" code in opt.cpp and Clang's CodeGen that
computes the inliner threshold from opt level and size opt level.
This patch moves the code to a function that lives alongside the inliner itself,
providing a convenient overload to the inliner creation.
A separate patch can be committed to Clang to use this once it's committed to
LLVM. Standalone tools that use the inlining pass can also avoid duplicating
this code and fearing it will go out of sync.
Note: this patch also restructures the conditinal logic of the computation to
be cleaner.

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.

Generalize the API so we can distinguish symbols that are needed just for a DSO
symbol table from those that are used from some native .o.
The symbols that are only wanted for the dso symbol table can be dropped if
llvm can prove every other dso has a copy (linkonce_odr) and the address is not
important (unnamed_addr).

over the implicitly-formed-and-nesting CGSCC pass manager and function
pass managers, especially when using them on the opt commandline or
using extension points in the module builder. The '-barrier' opt flag
(or the pass itself) will create a no-op module pass in the pipeline,
resetting the pass manager stack, and allowing the creation of a new
pipeline of function passes or CGSCC passes to be created that is
independent from any previous pipelines.
For example, this can be used to test running two CGSCC passes in
independent CGSCC pass managers as opposed to in the same CGSCC pass
manager. It also allows us to introduce a further hack into the
PassManagerBuilder to separate the O0 pipeline extension passes from the
always-inliner's CGSCC pass manager, which they likely do not want to
participate in... At the very least none of the Sanitizer passes want
this behavior.
This fixes a bug with ASan at O0 currently, and I'll commit the ASan
test which covers this pass. I'm happy to add a test case that this pass
exists and works, but not sure how much time folks would like me to
spend adding test cases for the details of its behavior of partition
pass managers.... The whole thing is just vile, and mostly intended to
unblock ASan, so I'm hoping to rip this all out in a brave new pass
manager world.
