This format is simply a regular object file with the bitcode stored in a
section named ".llvmbc", plus any number of other (non-allocated) sections.
One immediate use case for this is to accommodate compilation processes
which expect the object file to contain metadata in non-allocated sections,
such as the ".go_export" section used by some Go compilers [1], although I
imagine that in the future we could consider compiling parts of the module
(such as large non-inlinable functions) directly into the object file to
improve LTO efficiency.

With this a DataLayoutPass can be reused for multiple modules.
Once we have doInitialization/doFinalization, it doesn't seem necessary to pass
a Module to the constructor.
Overall this change seems in line with the idea of making DataLayout a required
part of Module. With it the only way of having a DataLayout used is to add it
to the Module.

The attached patch simplifies a few interfaces that don't need to take
ownership of a buffer.
For example, both parseAssembly and parseBitcodeFile will parse the
entire buffer before returning. There is no need to take ownership.
Using a MemoryBufferRef makes it obvious in the type signature that
there is no ownership transfer.

Take a StringRef instead of a "const char *".
Take a "std::error_code &" instead of a "std::string &" for error.
A create static method would be even better, but this patch is already a bit too
big.

Owning the buffer is somewhat inflexible. Some Binaries have sub Binaries
(like Archive) and we had to create dummy buffers just to handle that. It is
also a bad fit for IRObjectFile where the Module wants to own the buffer too.
Keeping this ownership would make supporting IR inside native objects
particularly painful.
This patch focuses in lib/Object. If something elsewhere used to own an Binary,
now it also owns a MemoryBuffer.
This patch introduces a few new types.
* MemoryBufferRef. This is just a pair of StringRefs for the data and name.
This is to MemoryBuffer as StringRef is to std::string.
* OwningBinary. A combination of Binary and a MemoryBuffer. This is needed
for convenience functions that take a filename and return both the
buffer and the Binary using that buffer.
The C api now uses OwningBinary to avoid any change in semantics. I will start
a new thread to see if we want to change it and how.

This is mostly a cleanup, but it changes a fairly old behavior.
Every "real" LTO user was already disabling the silly internalize pass
and creating the internalize pass itself. The difference with this
patch is for "opt -std-link-opts" and the C api.
Now to get a usable behavior out of opt one doesn't need the funny
looking command line:
opt -internalize -disable-internalize -internalize-public-api-list=foo,bar -std-link-opts

Having both Triple::arm64 and Triple::aarch64 is extremely confusing, and
invites bugs where only one is checked. In reality, the only legitimate
difference between the two (arm64 usually means iOS) is also present in the OS
part of the triple and that's what should be checked.
We still parse the "arm64" triple, just canonicalise it to Triple::aarch64, so
there aren't any LLVM-side test changes.

Merges equivalent loads on both sides of a hammock/diamond
and hoists into into the header.
Merges equivalent stores on both sides of a hammock/diamond
and sinks it to the footer.
Can enable if conversion and tolerate better load misses
and store operand latencies.

This reverts commit r212342.
We can get a StringRef into the current Record, but not one in the bitcode
itself since the string is compressed in it.

These are the llvm.* globals and functions.
I don't think it is possible to test this directly since llvm-lto is not
a full linker and will not report duplicated symbols, but this fixes
bootstrap with gold and lto enabled.

IRObjectFile provides all the logic for producing mangled names and getting
symbols from inline assembly.
LTOModule then adds logic for linking specific tasks, like constructing
llvm.compiler_user or extracting linker options from the bitcode.
The rule of the thumb is that IRObjectFile has the functionality that is
needed by both LTO and llvm-ar.

We want to encourage users of the C++ LTO API to reuse memory buffers instead
of repeatedly opening and reading the same file contents.
This reverts commit r212305 and implements a tidier scheme.

Fixes the build with only the ARM backend enabled. For some reason some
other backend was pulling Object and this went unnoticed.

string_ostream is a safe and efficient string builder that combines opaque
stack storage with a built-in ostream interface.
small_string_ostream<bytes> additionally permits an explicit stack storage size
other than the default 128 bytes to be provided. Beyond that, storage is
transferred to the heap.
This convenient class can be used in most places an
std::string+raw_string_ostream pair or SmallString<>+raw_svector_ostream pair
would previously have been used, in order to guarantee consistent access
without byte truncation.
The patch also converts much of LLVM to use the new facility. These changes
include several probable bug fixes for truncated output, a programming error
that's no longer possible with the new interface.

In assembly the expression a=b is parsed as an assignment, so it should be
printed as one.
This remove a truly horrible hack for producing a label with "a=.". It would
be used by codegen but would never be reached by the asm parser. Sorry I
missed this when it was first committed.
