While we have successfully implemented a funclet-oriented EH scheme on
top of LLVM IR, our scheme has some notable deficiencies:
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are necessary in the current design
but they are difficult to explain to others, even to seasoned LLVM
experts.
- catchendpad and cleanupendpad are optimization barriers. They cannot
be split and force all potentially throwing call-sites to be invokes.
This has a noticable effect on the quality of our code generation.
- catchpad, while similar in some aspects to invoke, is fairly awkward.
It is unsplittable, starts a funclet, and has control flow to other
funclets.
- The nesting relationship between funclets is currently a property of
control flow edges. Because of this, we are forced to carefully
analyze the flow graph to see if there might potentially exist illegal
nesting among funclets. While we have logic to clone funclets when
they are illegally nested, it would be nicer if we had a
representation which forbade them upfront.
Let's clean this up a bit by doing the following:
- Instead, make catchpad more like cleanuppad and landingpad: no control
flow, just a bunch of simple operands; catchpad would be splittable.
- Introduce catchswitch, a control flow instruction designed to model
the constraints of funclet oriented EH.
- Make funclet scoping explicit by having funclet instructions consume
the token produced by the funclet which contains them.
- Remove catchendpad and cleanupendpad. Their presence can be inferred
implicitly using coloring information.
N.B. The state numbering code for the CLR has been updated but the
veracity of it's output cannot be spoken for. An expert should take a
look to make sure the results are reasonable.

Quoting from the comment added to the code:
// Objective-C on i386 uses artificial absolute symbols to
// perform some link time checks. Those symbols have a fixed 0
// address that might conflict with real symbols in the object
// file. As I cannot see a way for absolute symbols to find
// their way into the debug information, let's just ignore those.

Ensure we release the files even when they don't hold a function index
summary section, by restructuring the control flow a little bit.

A linker normally has two stages: symbol resolution and "moving stuff".
In lib/Linker there is the complication of lazy linking some globals,
but it was still far more mixed than it needed to.
This splits the linker into a lower level IRMover and the linker proper.
The IRMover just takes a list of globals to move and a callback that
lets the user control what is lazy linked.
The main motivation is that now tools/gold (and soon lld) can use their
own symbol resolution to instruct IRMover what to do.

This is a preliminary change towards deduplicating type units based on
their signatures. Next change will skip emission of types when their
signature has already been seen.

Summary:
The order of destructors in LTOCodeGenerator gets changed in r254696.
It is possible for LTOCodeGenerator to have a MergedModule created in
the OwnedContext, in which case the module must be destructed before
the context.

Cloning the module was supposed to guard against the possibility
that the passes may be non-idempotent. However, for some reason
I decided to put that AFTER the passes had already run on the
module, defeating the point entirely. Fix that by moving up the
CloneModule as is done in llc.

`Out` can be null if no output is requested, so move any access
to it inside the conditional. Thanks to Justin Bogner for finding
this.

Before this patch the diagnostic handler was optional. If it was not
passed, the one in the LLVMContext was used.
That is probably not a pattern we want to follow. If each area has an
optional callback, there is a sea of callbacks and it is hard to follow
which one is called.
Doing this also found cases where the callback is a nice addition, like
testing that no errors or warnings are reported.
The other option is to always use the diagnostic handler in the
LLVMContext. That has a few problems
* To implement the C API we would have to set the diag handler and then
set it back to the original value.
* Code that creates the context might be far away from code that wants
the diagnostics.
I do have a patch that implements the second option and will send that as
an RFC.

Summary: Lately, I have submitted a number of patches to fix bugs that
only occurred when using the same pass manager to compile multiple
modules (generally these bugs are failure to reset some persistent
state). Unfortunately I don't think there is currently a way to test
that from the command line. This adds a very simple flag to both llc
and opt, under which the tools will simply re-run their respective
pass pipelines using the same pass manager on (a clone of the same
module). Additionally, we verify that both outputs are bitwise the
same.

This probably shouldn't be generated in the .dwo file for CUs, only for
TUs, but it's in the sample .dwos (generated by clang) so dwp should
reflect that.
Arguably the DWP tool could be smart enough to know that the CUs
shouldn't need a debug_line.dwo section and skip that even when it's
legitimately generated for TUs, but that's a bit more off-book.

Summary: The command prints out list of functions that were not entered.
To do this, addresses are first converted to function locations. Set
operations are used for function locations.

This is a continuation of r253367.
These functions return is owned by the caller, so they return
std::unique_ptr now.
The call can fail, so the return is wrapped in ErrorOr.
They have a context where to report diagnostics, so they don't need to
take a string out parameter.
With this there are no call to getGlobalContext in lib/LTO.

This class is turning into a useful interface, rather than an implementation
detail, so I'm dropping the 'Base' suffix.
No functional change.

This change adds support for an optional weight when merging profile data with the llvm-profdata tool.
Weights are specified by adding an option ':<weight>' suffix to the input file names.
Adding support for arbitrary weighting of input profile data allows for relative importance to be placed on the
input data from multiple training runs.
Both sampled and instrumented profiles are supported.

There is no real reason the index has to have the concept of an
exporting Module. We should be able to have one single unique
instance of the Index, and it should be read-only after creation
for the whole ThinLTO processing.
The linker plugin should be able to process multiple modules (in
parallel or in sequence) with the same index.
The only reason the ExportingModule was present seems to be to
implement hasExportedFunctions() that is used by the Module linker
to decide what to do with the current Module.
For now I replaced it with a query to the map of Modules path to
see if this module was declared in the Index and consider that if
it is the case then it is probably exporting function.
On the long term the Linker interface needs to evolve and this
call should not be needed anymore.
