Summary:
If LTOUnit splitting is disabled, the module summary analysis computes
the summary information necessary to perform single implementation
devirtualization during the thin link with the index and no IR. The
information collected from the regular LTO IR in the current hybrid WPD
algorithm is summarized, including:
1) For vtable definitions, record the function pointers and their offset
within the vtable initializer (subsumes the information collected from
IR by tryFindVirtualCallTargets).
2) A record for each type metadata summarizing the vtable definitions
decorated with that metadata (subsumes the TypeIdentiferMap collected
from IR).
Also added are the necessary bitcode records, and the corresponding
assembly support.
The index-based WPD will be sent as a follow-on.
Depends on D53890.

Summary:
Records in the module summary index whether the bitcode was compiled
with the option necessary to enable splitting the LTO unit
(e.g. -fsanitize=cfi, -fwhole-program-vtables, or -fsplit-lto-unit).
The information is passed down to the ModuleSummaryIndex builder via a
new module flag "EnableSplitLTOUnit", which is propagated onto a flag
on the summary index.
This is then used during the LTO link to check whether all linked
summaries were built with the same value of this flag. If not, an error
is issued when we detect a situation requiring whole program visibility
of the class hierarchy. This is the case when both of the following
conditions are met:
1) We are performing LowerTypeTests or Whole Program Devirtualization.
2) There are type tests or type checked loads in the code.
Note I have also changed the ThinLTOBitcodeWriter to also gate the
module splitting on the value of this flag.

Summary:
This patch computes the synthetic function entry count on the whole
program callgraph (based on module summary) and writes the entry counts
to the summary. After function importing, this count gets attached to
the IR as metadata. Since it adds a new field to the summary, this bumps
up the version.

This is a revised version of D41474.
When the debug location is parsed in BitcodeReader::parseFunction, the
scope and inlinedAt MDNodes are obtained via MDLoader->getMDNodeFwdRefOrNull(),
which will create a forward ref if they were not yet loaded.
Specifically, if one of these MDNodes is in the module level metadata
block, and this is during ThinLTO importing, that metadata block is
lazily loaded.
Most places in that invoke getMDNodeFwdRefOrNull have a corresponding call
to resolveForwardRefsAndPlaceholders which will take care of resolving them.
E.g. places that call getMetadataFwdRefOrLoad, or at the end of parsing a
function-level metadata block, or at the end of the initial lazy load of
module level metadata in order to handle invocations of getMDNodeFwdRefOrNull
for named metadata and global object attachments. However, the calls for
the scope/inlinedAt of debug locations are not backed by any such call to
resolveForwardRefsAndPlaceholders.
To fix this, change the scope and inlinedAt parsing to instead use
getMetadataFwdRefOrLoad, which will ensure the forward refs to lazily
loaded metadata are resolved.
Fixes PR35472.

Summary:
The NotEligibleToImport flag on the GlobalValueSummary was set if it

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.

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.

Summary:
To allow bitcode built by old compiler to pass the current verifer,
BitcodeReader needs to auto infer the correct runtime preemption from
linkage and visibility for GlobalValues.
Since llvm-6.0 bitcode already contains the new field but can be
incorrect in some cases, the attribute needs to be recomputed all the
time in BitcodeReader. This will make all the GVs has dso_local marked
correctly if read from bitcode, and it should still allow the verifier
to catch mistakes in optimization passes.
This should fix PR38009.

by the upcoming summary parser patch, where we will read value names

Currently this allows us to store the name in the legacy bitcode case,

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.

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.

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
bitcode reader and writer.

Summary:
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:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-November/107104.html
and again more recently:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-October/118118.html
...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.

The bitcode reader looks specifically for `__DATA, __objc_catlist` as a
section name. However, SVN r304661 removed the spaces (the two names
are functionally equivalent but do not compare equally
lexicographically). This causes compatibility issues. Add an
auto-upgrade path for removing the spaces as well as use the new name in
the LTO plugin.
