ddc5a010a4 PGO: llvm-profdata: tool for merging profiles
Introducing llvm-profdata, a tool for merging profile data generated by
PGO instrumentation in clang.

- The name indicates a file extension of <name>.profdata.  Eventually
  profile data output by clang should be changed to that extension.

- llvm-profdata merges two profiles.  However, the name is more general,
  since it will likely pick up more tasks (such as summarizing a single
  profile).

- llvm-profdata parses the current text-based format, but will be
  updated once we settle on a binary format.

dd5d86d992 Remove the very substantial, largely unmaintained legacy PGO
infrastructure.

This was essentially work toward PGO based on a design that had several
flaws, partially dating from a time when LLVM had a different
architecture, and with an effort to modernize it abandoned without being
completed. Since then, it has bitrotted for several years further. The
result is nearly unusable, and isn't helping any of the modern PGO
efforts. Instead, it is getting in the way, adding confusion about PGO
in LLVM and distracting everyone with maintenance on essentially dead
code. Removing it paves the way for modern efforts around PGO.

Among other effects, this removes the last of the runtime libraries from
LLVM. Those are being developed in the separate 'compiler-rt' project
now, with somewhat different licensing specifically more approriate for
runtimes.

cc48854d5d Move LTO support library to a component, allowing it to be tested
more reliably across platforms.  Patch by Tom Roeder!

250bfb1745 Remove the LLVM specific archive index.
Archive files (.a) can have a symbol table indicating which object
files in them define which symbols. The purpose of this symbol table
is to speed up linking by allowing the linker the read only the .o
files it is actually going to use instead of having to parse every
object's symbol table.

LLVM's archive library currently supports a LLVM specific format for
such table. It is hard to see any value in that now that llvm-ld is
gone:

* System linkers don't use it: GNU ar uses the same plugin as the
linker to create archive files with a regular index. The OS X ar
creates no symbol table for IL files, I assume the linker just parses
all IL files.

* It doesn't interact well with archives having both IL and native objects.

* We probably don't want to be responsible for yet another archive
format variant.

This patch then:

* Removes support for creating and reading such index from lib/Archive.
* Remove llvm-ranlib, since there is nothing left for it to do.

We should in the future add support for regular indexes to llvm-ar for
both native and IL objects. When we do that, llvm-ranlib should be
reimplemented as a symlink to llvm-ar, as it is equivalent to "ar s".

7dd4dc8892 MC: Simple example parser for MC assembly markup.
Nothing fancy, just a simple demonstration parser.

75338097c7 Remove llvm-ld and llvm-stub (which is only used by llvm-ld).
llvm-ld is no longer useful and causes confusion and so it is being removed.

* Does not work very well on Windows because it must call a gcc like driver to
  assemble and link.
* Has lots of hard coded paths which are wrong on many systems.
* Does not understand most of ld's options.
* Can be partially replaced by llvm-link | opt | {llc | as, llc -filetype=obj} |
  ld, or fully replaced by Clang.

I know of no production use of llvm-ld, and hacking use should be
replaced by Clang's driver.

b0c594fd42 LLVMBuild: Introduce a common section which currently has a list of the
subdirectories to traverse into.
 - Originally I wanted to avoid this and just autoscan, but this has one key
   flaw in that new subdirectories can not automatically trigger a rerun of the
   llvm-build tool. This is particularly a pain when switching back and forth
   between trees where one has added a subdirectory, as the dependencies will
   tend to be wrong. This will also eliminates FIXME implicitly.
