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.

With the new LTO API in r278338, we stopped emitting the individual
index files and imports files for some modules in the distributed backend
case (thinlto-index-only plugin option).
Specifically, this is when the linker decides not to include a module in the
link, because it was in an archive library and did not have a strong
reference to it. Not creating the expected output files makes the
distributed build system implementation more difficult, in terms of
checking for the expected outputs of the thin link, and scheduling the
backend jobs. To address this, the gold-plugin will write dummy empty
.thinlto.bc and .imports files for modules not included in the link
(which LTO never sees).
Augmented a gold v1.12+ test, since that version of gold has the handling
for notifying on modules not being included in the link.

Summary:
Emit an empty summary section, instead of no summary section, when
there are no global variables in the index. This ensures that LTO
will treat these files as ThinLTO inputs, instead of as regular
LTO inputs.
In addition to not being what the user likely intended when
compiling with -flto=thin, the current behavior is problematic for
distributed build systems that expect to get ThinLTO index and imports
files back for each input compiled with -flto=thin. Combining into
a single regular LTO module also reduces the backend parallelism.
And in the case where the index was suppressed due to uses in
inline assembly, combining into a single LTO module could provoke
renaming of duplicates that we were trying to prevent by suppressing
the index.
This change required a couple of fixes to handle the empty summary
section.

Summary:
In runThinLTO we start the task numbering for ThinLTO backend
tasks depending on whether there was also a regular LTO object
(CombinedModule). However, the CombinedModule is moved at
the end of runRegularLTO, so we need to save this information and
pass it into runThinLTO. Otherwise the AddOutput callback to the client
will use the same task number for both the regular LTO object
and the first ThinLTO object, which in gold-plugin caused only
one to be end up in the output filename array and therefore passed
back to gold for the final native link.

Original change:
Resolution-based LTO API.
Summary:
This introduces a resolution-based LTO API. The main advantage of this API over
existing APIs is that it allows the linker to supply a resolution for each
symbol in each object, rather than the combined object as a whole. This will
become increasingly important for use cases such as ThinLTO which require us
to process symbol resolutions in a more complicated way than just adjusting
linkage.

Summary:
In the distributed backend case, the ThinLink step and the final native
object link are separate processes. This can be problematic when archive
libraries are involved in the link (e.g. via --start-lib/--end-lib
pairs). The linker only includes objects from libraries when
there is a strong reference to them, and depending on the intervening
ThinLTO backend processes' importing/inlining, the strong references
may appear different in the two link steps. See D22356 and D22467
for two scenarios where this causes issues.
To ensure that the final link includes the same objects, this patch
adds support for an "=filename" form of the thinlto-index-only plugin
option, in which case objects gold included in the link are emitted to
the given filename. This should be used as input to the final link (e.g.
via the @filename option to gold), instead of listing all the objects
within --start-lib/--end-lib pairs again.
Note that the support for the gold callback that identifies included
objects was added in gold version 1.12.

Summary:
Invoke the weak/linkonce symbol resolution support (already used by

This ensures prevailing linkonce are kept, by making them weak, and
marks preempted copies as available_externally when possible.
With this change, the older support for keeping the prevailing linkonce
(by changing their symbol resolution) is removed.

While testing a follow-on change to enable index-based symbol resolution
and internalization in the distributed backends, I realized that a test
case change I made in r275247 was only required because we were not
analyzing symbols in the claimed files in thinlto-index-only mode.
In the fixed test case there should be no internalization because we are
linking in -shared mode, so f() is in fact exported, which is detected
properly when we analyze symbols in thinlto-index-only mode. Note that
this is not (yet) a correctness issue (because we are not yet performing
the index-based linkage optimizations in the distributed backends -
that's coming in a follow-on patch).

Internalization was missing cases where we originally had a local symbol
that was promoted eagerly but not actually exported. This is because we
were only internalizing the set of global (non-local) symbols that were
PREVAILAING_DEF_IRONLY. Instead, collect the set of global symbols that
are referenced outside of a single IR file, and skip internalization for
those.

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).

If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.
This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)
Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.
