Teresa Johnson 08d0e94685 [ThinLTO] Add support for emitting minimized bitcode for thin link ... 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.
