Summary:
The NotEligibleToImport flag on the GlobalValueSummary was set if it
isn't legal to import (e.g. because it references unpromotable locals)
and when it can't be inlined (in which case importing is pointless).
I split out the inlinable piece into a separate flag on the
FunctionSummary (doesn't make sense for aliases or global variables),
because in the future we may want to import for reasons other than
inlining.

Summary:
In D49565/r337503, the type id record writing was fixed so that only
referenced type ids were emitted into each per-module index for ThinLTO
distributed builds. However, this still left an efficiency issue: each
per-module index checked all type ids for membership in the referenced
set, yielding O(M*N) performance (M indexes and N type ids).
Change the TypeIdMap in the summary to be indexed by GUID, to facilitate
correlating with type identifier GUIDs referenced in the function
summary TypeIdInfo structures. This allowed simplifying other
places where a map from type id GUID to type id map entry was previously
being used to aid this correlation.
Also fix AsmWriter code to handle the rare case of type id GUID
collision.
For a large internal application, this reduced the thin link time by
almost 15%.

Summary:
Some lines have a hit counter where they should not have one.
For example, in C++, some cleanup is adding at the end of a scope represented by a '}'.
So such a line has a hit counter where a user expects to not have one.
The goal of the patch is to add this information in DILocation which is used to get the covered lines in GCOVProfiling.cpp.
A following patch in clang will add this information when generating IR (https://reviews.llvm.org/D49916).

Summary:
ThinLTO imports alias as a copy of a aliasee, so when we import such functions with type tests we will
need type ids used by function. However after D49565 we pick types only during processing of
FunctionSummary which is not happening for such aliesees.
Example:
Unit U1 with a type, a functions F with the type check, and an alias A to the function.
Unit U2 with only call to the alias A.
In particular, this happens when we use -mconstructor-aliases, which is default.
So if c++ unit only creates instance of the class, without calling any other methods it will lack of
necessary type ids, which will result in false CFI reports.

Load Hardening.
Wires up the existing pass to work with a proper IR attribute rather
than just a hidden/internal flag. The internal flag continues to work
for now, but I'll likely remove it soon.
Most of the churn here is adding the IR attribute. I talked about this
Kristof Beyls and he seemed at least initially OK with this direction.
The idea of using a full attribute here is that we *do* expect at least
some forms of this for other architectures. There isn't anything
*inherently* x86-specific about this technique, just that we only have
an implementation for x86 at the moment.
While we could potentially expose this as a Clang-level attribute as
well, that seems like a good question to defer for the moment as it
isn't 100% clear whether that or some other programmer interface (or
both?) would be best. We'll defer the programmer interface side of this
for now, but at least get to the point where the feature can be enabled
without relying on implementation details.
This also allows us to do something that was really hard before: we can
enable *just* the indirect call retpolines when using SLH. For x86, we
don't have any other way to mitigate indirect calls. Other architectures
may take a different approach of course, and none of this is surfaced to
user-level flags.

Most users won't have to worry about this as all of the

This is based on https://reviews.llvm.org/D37054 but without the changes to

In cases where the debugger load time is a worthwhile tradeoff (or less
costly - such as loading from a DWP instead of a variety of DWOs
(possibly over a high-latency/distributed filesystem)) against object
file size, it can be reasonable to disable pubnames and corresponding
gdb-index creation in the linker.
A backend-flag version of this was implemented for NVPTX in
D44385/r327994 - which was fine for NVPTX which wouldn't mix-and-match
CUs. Now that it's going to be a user-facing option (likely powered by
"-gno-pubnames", the same as GCC) it should be encoded in the
DICompileUnit so it can vary per-CU.
After this, likely the NVPTX support should be migrated to the metadata
& the previous flag implementation should be removed.

Summary:
Currently all type ids are emitted into the index file when it is
written. For distributed ThinLTO, that meant that all type ids were
being duplicated into every single distributed index file, regardless of
whether they were referenced, leading to huge amounts of unnecessary
duplication and size bloat.
Keep track of the type id GUIDs actually referenced by the GV summary
records being emitted, and only emit those type IDs.
Add a new test, and fix test/Assembler/thinlto-summary.ll so that all
type ids are referenced to prevent deletion in that test.

Summary:
Adds assembly parsing support for the module summary index (follow on
to r333335 which added the assembly writing support).
I added support to llvm-as to invoke the index parsing, so that it can
create either a bitcode file with a Module and a per-module index, or
a combined index without a Module.
I will send follow on patches soon to do the following:
- add support to tools such as llvm-lto2 to parse the per-module indexes
from assembly instead of bitcode when testing the thin link.
- verification support.
Depends on D47844 and D47842.

Summary:
I discovered when writing the summary parsing support that the
per-module index builder and writer are computing the GUID from the
value name alone (ignoring the linkage type). This was ok since those
GUID were not emitted in the bitcode, and there are never multiple
conflicting names in a single module.
However, I don't see a reason for making the GUID computation different
for the per-module case. It also makes things simpler on the parsing
side to have the GUID computation consistent. So this patch changes the
summary analysis phase and the per-module summary writer to compute the
GUID using the facility on the GlobalValue.

In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

X86 Supports Indirect Branch Tracking (IBT) as part of Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
IBT instruments ENDBR instructions used to specify valid targets of indirect call / jmp.
The `nocf_check` attribute has two roles in the context of X86 IBT technology:
1. Appertains to a function - do not add ENDBR instruction at the beginning of the function.
2. Appertains to a function pointer - do not track the target function of this pointer by adding nocf_check prefix to the indirect-call instruction.
This patch implements `nocf_check` context for Indirect Branch Tracking.
It also auto generates `nocf_check` prefixes before indirect branchs to jump tables that are guarded by range checks.

This patch is the LLVM part of fixing the issues, described in
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36168
* The representation of enumerator values in the debug info metadata now
contains a boolean flag isUnsigned, which determines how the bits of
the value are interpreted.
* The DW_TAG_enumeration type DIE now always (for DWARF version >= 3)
includes a DW_AT_type attribute, which refers to the underlying
integer type, as suggested in DWARFv4 (5.7 Enumeration Type Entries).
* The debug info metadata for enumeration type contains (in flags)
indication whether this is a C++11 "fixed enum".
* For C++11 enumeration with a fixed underlying type, the DIE also
includes the DW_AT_enum_class attribute (for DWARF version >= 4).
* Encoding of enumerator constants uses DW_FORM_sdata for signed values
and DW_FORM_udata for unsigned values, as suggested by DWARFv4 (7.5.4
Attribute Encodings).
The changes should be backwards compatible:
* the isUnsigned attribute is optional and defaults to false.
* if the underlying type for the enumeration is not available, the
enumerator values are considered signed.
* the FixedEnum flag defaults to clear.
* the bitcode format for DIEnumerator stores the unsigned flag bit #1 of
the first record element, so the format does not change and the zero
previously stored there is consistent with the false default for
IsUnsigned.

Summary:
A recent fix to drop dead symbols (r323633) did not work for ThinLTO
distributed backends because we lose the WithGlobalValueDeadStripping
set on the index during the thin link. This patch adds a new flags
record to the bitcode format for the index, and serializes this flag
for the combined index (it would always be 0 for the per-module index
generated by the compile step, so no need to serialize the new flags
record there until/unless we add another flag that applies to the
per-module indexes).
Generally this flag should always be set for the distributed backends,
which are necessarily performed after the thin link. However, if we were
to simply set this flag on the index applied to the distributed backends
(invoked via clang), we would lose the ability to disable dead stripping
via -compute-dead=false for debugging purposes.

n Rust, an enum that carries data in the variants is, essentially, a
discriminated union. Furthermore, the Rust compiler will perform
space optimizations on such enums in some situations. Previously,
DWARF for these constructs was emitted using a hack (a magic field
name); but this approach stopped working when more space optimizations
were added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/45225.
This patch changes LLVM to allow discriminated unions to be
represented in DWARF. It adds createDiscriminatedUnionType and
createDiscriminatedMemberType to DIBuilder and then arranges for this
to be emitted using DWARF's DW_TAG_variant_part and DW_TAG_variant.
Note that DWARF requires that a discriminated union be represented as
a structure with a variant part. However, as Rust only needs to emit
pure discriminated unions, this is what I chose to expose on
DIBuilder.

It was never fully disallowed. We were rejecting it in the asm parser,
but not in the verifier.
Currently TargetMachine::shouldAssumeDSOLocal returns true for hidden
ifuncs. I considered changing it and moving the check from the asm
parser to the verifier.
The reason for deciding to allow it instead is that all linkers handle
a direct reference just fine. They use the plt address as the address
of the function. In fact doing that means that clang doesn't have the
same bug as gcc: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83782.
This patch then removes the check from the asm parser and updates the

David had earlier suggested since I think profile implies "real" and I

This implements a missing feature to allow importing of aliases, which
was previously disabled because alias cannot be available_externally.
We instead import an alias as a copy of its aliasee.
Some additional work was required in the IndexBitcodeWriter for the
distributed build case, to ensure that the aliasee has a value id
in the distributed index file (i.e. even when it is not being
imported directly).
This is a performance win in codes that have many aliases, e.g. C++
applications that have many constructor and destructor aliases.

As discussed on llvm-dev:

...this is a step in cleaning up our fast-math-flags implementation in IR to better match
the capabilities of both clang's user-visible flags and the backend's flags for SDNode.
As proposed in the above threads, we're replacing the 'UnsafeAlgebra' bit (which had the
'umbrella' meaning that all flags are set) with a new bit that only applies to algebraic
reassociation - 'AllowReassoc'.
We're also adding a bit to allow approximations for library functions called 'ApproxFunc'
(this was initially proposed as 'libm' or similar).
...and we're out of bits. 7 bits ought to be enough for anyone, right? :) FWIW, I did
look at getting this out of SubclassOptionalData via SubclassData (spacious 16-bits),
but that's apparently already used for other purposes. Also, I don't think we can just
add a field to FPMathOperator because Operator is not intended to be instantiated.
We'll defer movement of FMF to another day.
We keep the 'fast' keyword. I thought about removing that, but seeing IR like this:
%f.fast = fadd reassoc nnan ninf nsz arcp contract afn float %op1, %op2
...made me think we want to keep the shortcut synonym.
Finally, this change is binary incompatible with existing IR as seen in the
compatibility tests. This statement:
"Newer releases can ignore features from older releases, but they cannot miscompile
them. For example, if nsw is ever replaced with something else, dropping it would be
a valid way to upgrade the IR."
( http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#ir-backwards-compatibility )
...provides the flexibility we want to make this change without requiring a new IR
version. Ie, we're not loosening the FP strictness of existing IR. At worst, we will
fail to optimize some previously 'fast' code because it's no longer recognized as
'fast'. This should get fixed as we audit/squash all of the uses of 'isFast()'.
Note: an inter-dependent clang commit to use the new API name should closely follow
commit.

Now that we have a way to mark GlobalValues as local we can use the symbol
resolutions that the linker plugin provides as part of lto/thinlto link
step to refine the compilers view on what symbols will end up being local.
Originally commited as r317374, but reverted in r317395 to update some missed
tests.

Currently we do not represent runtime preemption in the IR, which has several
drawbacks:
1) The semantics of GlobalValues differ depending on the object file format
you are targeting (as well as the relocation-model and -fPIE value).
2) We have no way of disabling inlining of run time interposable functions,
since in the IR we only know if a function is link-time interposable.
Because of this llvm cannot support elf-interposition semantics.
3) In LTO builds of executables we will have extra knowledge that a symbol
resolved to a local definition and can't be preemptable, but have no way to
propagate that knowledge through the compiler.
This patch adds preemptability specifiers to the IR with the following meaning:
dso_local --> means the compiler may assume the symbol will resolve to a
definition within the current linkage unit and the symbol may be accessed
directly even if the definition is not within this compilation unit.
dso_preemptable --> means that the compiler must assume the GlobalValue may be
replaced with a definition from outside the current linkage unit at runtime.
To ease transitioning dso_preemptable is treated as a 'default' in that
low-level codegen will still do the same checks it did previously to see if a
symbol should be accessed indirectly. Eventually when IR producers emit the
specifiers on all Globalvalues we can change dso_preemptable to mean 'always
access indirectly', and remove the current logic.
