Summary: For interative sample-pgo, if a hot call site is inlined in the profiling binary, we should inline it in before profile annotation in the backend. Before that, the compile phase first collects all GUIDs that needs to be imported and creates virtual "hot" call edge in the summary. However, "hot" is not good enough to guarantee the callsites get inlined. This patch introduces "critical" call edge, and assign much higher importing threshold for those edges.

This is the same as r304719 but for ThinLTO.
The substantial difference is that in this case we don't have
whole visibility, just the summary.
In the LTO case, when we got the resolution for the input file we
could just see if the linker told us whether a symbol was linker
redefined (using --wrap or --defsym) and switch the linkage directly
for the GV.
Here, we have the summary. So, we record that the linkage changed
from <whatever it was> to $weakany to prevent IPOs across this symbol
boundaries and actually just switch the linkage at FunctionImport time.
This patch should also fixes the lld bits (as all the scaffolding for
communicating if a symbol is linker redefined should be there & should
be the same), but I'll make sure to add some tests there as well.
Fixes PR33192.

Replace GVFlags::LiveRoot with GVFlags::Live and use that instead of
all the DeadSymbols sets. This is refactoring in order to make
liveness information available in the RegularLTO pipeline.
llvm-svn: 304466
When profiling a no-op incremental link of Chromium I found that the functions
computeImportForFunction and computeDeadSymbols were consuming roughly 10% of
the profile. The goal of this change is to improve the performance of those
functions by changing the map lookups that they were previously doing into
pointer dereferences.
This is achieved by changing the ValueInfo data structure to be a pointer to
an element of the global value map owned by ModuleSummaryIndex, and changing
reference lists in the GlobalValueSummary to hold ValueInfos instead of GUIDs.
This means that a ValueInfo will take a client directly to the summary list
for a given GUID.

Summary:
In SamplePGO, if the profile is collected from non-LTO binary, and used to drive ThinLTO, the indirect call promotion may fail because ThinLTO adjusts local function names to avoid conflicts. There are two places of where the mismatch can happen:
1. thin-link prepends SourceFileName to front of FuncName to build the GUID (GlobalValue::getGlobalIdentifier). Unlike instrumentation FDO, SamplePGO does not use the PGOFuncName scheme and therefore the indirect call target profile data contains a hash of the OriginalName.
2. backend compiler promotes some local functions to global and appends .llvm.{$ModuleHash} to the end of the FuncName to derive PromotedFunctionName
This patch tries at the best effort to find the GUID from the original local function name (in profile), and use that in ICP promotion, and in SamplePGO matching that happens in the backend after importing/inlining:
1. in thin-link, it builds the map from OriginalName to GUID so that when thin-link reads in indirect call target profile (represented by OriginalName), it knows which GUID to import.
2. in backend compiler, if sample profile reader cannot find a profile match for PromotedFunctionName, it will try to find if there is a match for OriginalFunctionName.
3. in backend compiler, we build symbol table entry for OriginalFunctionName and pointer to the same symbol of PromotedFunctionName, so that ICP can find the correct target to promote.

Summary:
In a .symver assembler directive like:
.symver name, name2@@nodename
"name2@@nodename" should get the same symbol binding as "name".
While the ELF object writer is updating the symbol binding for .symver
aliases before emitting the object file, not doing so when the module
inline assembly is handled by the RecordStreamer is causing the wrong
behavior in *LTO mode.
E.g. when "name" is global, "name2@@nodename" must also be marked as
global. Otherwise, the symbol is skipped when iterating over the LTO
InputFile symbols (InputFile::Symbol::shouldSkip). So, for example,
when performing any *LTO via the gold-plugin, the versioned symbol
definition is not recorded by the plugin and passed back to the
linker. If the object was in an archive, and there were no other symbols
needed from that object, the object would not be included in the final
link and references to the versioned symbol are undefined.
The llvm-lto2 tests added will give an error about an unused symbol
resolution without the fix.

Summary:
We can sometimes end up with multiple copies of a local function that
have the same GUID in the index. This happens when there are local
functions with the same name that are in different source files with the
same name (but in different directories), and they were compiled in
their own directory so had the same path at compile time.
In this case make sure we import the copy in the caller's module. While
it isn't a correctness problem (the renamed reference which is based on the
module IR hash will be unique since the module must have had an
externally visible function that was imported), importing the wrong copy
will result in lost performance opportunity since it won't be referenced
and inlined.

Summary:
Using the linker-supplied list of "preserved" symbols, we can compute
the list of "dead" symbols, i.e. the one that are not reachable from
a "preserved" symbol transitively on the reference graph.
Right now we are using this information to mark these functions as
non-eligible for import.
The impact is two folds:
- Reduction of compile time: we don't import these functions anywhere
or import the function these symbols are calling.
- The limited number of import/export leads to better internalization.

llvm-svn: 291108
Summary:
This is a relatively simple scheme: we use the index emitted in the
bitcode to avoid loading all the global metadata. Instead we load
the index with their position in the bitcode so that we can load each
of them individually. Materializing the global metadata block in this
condition only triggers loading the named metadata, and the ones
referenced from there (transitively). When materializing a function,
metadata from the global block are loaded lazily as they are
referenced.
Two main current limitations are:
1) Global values other than functions are not materialized on demand,
so we need to eagerly load METADATA_GLOBAL_DECL_ATTACHMENT records
(and their transitive dependencies).
2) When we load a single metadata, we don't recurse on the operands,
instead we use a placeholder or a temporary metadata. Unfortunately
tepmorary nodes are very expensive. This is why we don't have it
always enabled and only for importing.
These two limitations can be lifted in a subsequent improvement if
needed.
With this change, the total link time of opt with ThinLTO and Debug
Info enabled is going down from 282s to 224s (~20%).

Summary:
Instead of checking whether a global referenced by a function being
imported is defined in the same module, speculatively always add the
referenced globals to the module's export list. After all imports are
computed, for each module prune any not in its defined set from its
export list.
For a huge C++ app with aggressive importing thresholds, even with
D27687 we spent a lot of time invoking modulePath() from
exportGlobalInModule (modulePath() was still the 2nd hottest routine in
profile). The reason is that with comdat/linkonce the summary lists for
each GUID can be long. For the app in question, for example, we were
invoking exportGlobalInModule almost 2 million times, and we traversed
an average of 63 entries in the summary list each time.
This patch reduced the thin link time for the app by about 10% (on top
of D27687) when using aggressive importing thresholds, and about 3.5% on
average with default importing thresholds.

This is split out from D27696, since it turned out to be a bug fix and
not part of the NFC efficiency change.
Keep the same adjusted (possibly decayed) threshold in both the worklist
and the ImportList. Otherwise if we encountered it first along a cold
path, the callee would be added to the worklist with a lower decayed
threshold than when it is later encountered along a hot path. But the
logic uses the threshold recorded in the ImportList entry to check if
we should re-add it, and without this patch the threshold recorded there
is the same along both paths so we don't re-add it. Using the
same possibly decayed threshold in the ImportList ensures we re-add it
later with the higher non-decayed hot path threshold.

Summary:
We were doing an optimization in the ThinLTO backends of importing
constant unnamed_addr globals unconditionally as a local copy (regardless
of whether the thin link decided to import them). This should be done in
the thin link instead, so that resulting exported references are marked
and promoted appropriately, but will need a summary enhancement to mark
these variables as constant unnamed_addr.
The function import logic during the thin link was trying to handle
this proactively, by conservatively marking all values referenced in
the initializer lists of exported global variables as also exported.
However, this only handled values referenced directly from the
initializer list of an exported global variable. If the value is itself
a constant unnamed_addr variable, we could end up exporting its
references as well. This caused multiple issues. The first is that the
transitively exported references weren't promoted. Secondly, some could
not be promoted/renamed (e.g. they had a section or other constraint).
recursively, instead of just adding the first level of initializer list
references to the ExportList directly.
Remove this optimization and the associated handling in the function
import backend. SPEC measurements indicate we weren't getting much
from it in any case.

Summary:
We have always speculatively promoted all renamable local values
(except const non-address taken variables) for both the exporting
and importing module. We would then internalize them back based on
the ThinLink results if they weren't actually exported. This is
inefficient, and results in unnecessary renames. It also meant we
had to check the non-renamability of a value in the summary, which
was already checked during function importing analysis in the ThinLink.
Made renameModuleForThinLTO (which does the promotion/renaming) instead
use the index when exporting, to avoid unnecessary renames/promotions.
For importing modules, we can simply promoted all values as any local
we import by definition is exported and needs promotion.
This required changes to the method used by the FunctionImport pass
(only invoked from 'opt' for testing) and when invoked from llvm-link,
since neither does a ThinLink. We simply conservatively mark all locals
in the index as promoted, which preserves the current aggressive
promotion behavior.
I also needed to change an llvm-lto based test where we had previously
been aggressively promoting values that weren't importable (aliasees),
but now will not promote.

Summary:
The change in r285513 to prevent exporting of locals used in
inline asm added all locals in the llvm.used set to the reference
set of functions containing inline asm. Since these locals were marked
NoRename, this automatically prevented importing of the function.
Unfortunately, this caused an explosion in the summary reference lists
in some cases. In my particular example, it happened for a large protocol
buffer generated C++ file, where many of the generated functions
contained an inline asm call. It was exacerbated when doing a ThinLTO
PGO instrumentation build, where the PGO instrumentation included
thousands of private __profd_* values that were added to llvm.used.
We really only need to include a single llvm.used local (NoRename) value
in the reference list of a function containing inline asm to block it
being imported. However, it seems cleaner to add a flag to the summary
that explicitly describes this situation, which is what this patch does.
