Summary:
Replace getDataLayout() with a createDataLayout() method to make
explicit that it is intended to create a DataLayout only and not
accessing it for other purpose.
This change is the last of a series of commits dedicated to have a
single DataLayout during compilation by using always the one owned
by the module.

This change unifies how LTOModule and the backend obtain linker flags
for globals: via a new TargetLoweringObjectFile member function named
emitLinkerFlagsForGlobal. A new function LTOModule::getLinkerOpts() returns
the list of linker flags as a single concatenated string.
This change affects the C libLTO API: the function lto_module_get_*deplibs now
exposes an empty list, and lto_module_get_*linkeropts exposes a single element
which combines the contents of all observed flags. libLTO should never have
tried to parse the linker flags; it is the linker's job to do so. Because
linkers will need to be able to parse flags in regular object files, it
makes little sense for libLTO to have a redundant mechanism for doing so.
The new API is compatible with the old one. It is valid for a user to specify
multiple linker flags in a single pragma directive like this:
#pragma comment(linker, "/defaultlib:foo /defaultlib:bar")
The previous implementation would not have exposed
either flag via lto_module_get_*deplibs (as the test in
TargetLoweringObjectFileCOFF::getDepLibFromLinkerOpt was case sensitive)
and would have exposed "/defaultlib:foo /defaultlib:bar" as a single flag via
lto_module_get_*linkeropts. This may have been a bug in the implementation,
but it does give us a chance to fix the interface.

Start using C++ types such as StringRef and MemoryBuffer in the C++ LTO

now owns it, not the LTOCodeGenerator. The C libLTO library has been modified

Reverse libLTO's default behaviour for preserving use-list order in
bitcode, and add API for controlling it. The default setting is now
`false` (don't preserve them), which is consistent with `clang`'s
default behaviour.
Users of libLTO should call `lto_codegen_should_embed_uselists(CG,true)`
prior to calling `lto_codegen_write_merged_modules()` whenever the
output file isn't part of the production workflow in order to reproduce
results with subsequent calls to `llc`.
(I haven't added tests since `llvm-lto` (the test tool for LTO) doesn't
support bitcode output, and even if it did: there isn't actually a good
way to test whether a tool has passed the flag. If the order is already
"natural" (if the order will already round-trip) then no use-list
directives are emitted at all. At some point I'll circle back to add
tests to `llvm-as` (etc.) that they actually respect the flag, at which
point I can somehow add a test here as well.)

The saved bitcode file is already internalized, so we can call

Remove all the global bits to do with preserving use-list order by
moving the `cl::opt`s to the individual tools that want them. There's a
minor functionality change to `libLTO`, in that you can't send in
`-preserve-bc-uselistorder=false`, but making that bit settable (if it's
worth doing) should be through explicit LTO API.
As a drive-by fix, I removed some includes of `UseListOrder.h` that were

formatted_raw_ostream is a wrapper over another stream to add column and line
number tracking.
It is used only for asm printing.
This patch moves the its creation down to where we know we are printing
assembly. This has the following advantages:
* Simpler lifetime management: std::unique_ptr
* We don't compute column and line number of object files :-)

Remove `DebugInfoVerifierLegacyPass` and the `-verify-di` pass.
Instead, call into the `DebugInfoVerifier` from inside
`VerifierLegacyPass::finalizeModule()`. This better matches the logic
in `verifyModule()` (used by the new PassManager), avoids requiring two
separate passes to verify the IR, and makes the API for "add a pass to

eventually it might make sense to just remove it).

We only defer loading metadata inside ParseModule when ShouldLazyLoadMetadata
is true and we have not loaded any Metadata block yet.
This commit implements all-or-nothing loading of Metadata. If there is a
request to load any metadata block, we will load all deferred metadata blocks.
We make sure the deferred metadata blocks are loaded before we materialize any
function or a module.
The default value of the added parameter ShouldLazyLoadMetadata for
getLazyBitcodeModule is false, so the default behavior stays the same.
We only set the parameter to true when creating LTOModule in local contexts.
These can only really be used for parsing symbols, so it's unnecessary to ever
load the metadata blocks.
If we are going to enable lazy-loading of Metadata for other usages of
getLazyBitcodeModule, where deferred metadata blocks need to be loaded, we can
expose BitcodeReader::materializeMetadata to Module, similar to
Module::materialize.

Summary:
DataLayout keeps the string used for its creation.
As a side effect it is no longer needed in the Module.
This is "almost" NFC, the string is no longer
canonicalized, you can't rely on two "equals" DataLayout
having the same string returned by getStringRepresentation().
Get rid of DataLayoutPass: the DataLayout is in the Module
The DataLayout is "per-module", let's enforce this by not
duplicating it more than necessary.
One more step toward non-optionality of the DataLayout in the
module.
Make DataLayout Non-Optional in the Module
Module->getDataLayout() will never returns nullptr anymore.

LLVM's include tree and the use of using declarations to hide the
'legacy' namespace for the old pass manager.
This undoes the primary modules-hostile change I made to keep
out-of-tree targets building. I sent an email inquiring about whether
this would be reasonable to do at this phase and people seemed fine with
it, so making it a reality. This should allow us to start bootstrapping
with modules to a certain extent along with making it easier to mix and
match headers in general.
The updates to any code for users of LLVM are very mechanical. Switch
from including "llvm/PassManager.h" to "llvm/IR/LegacyPassManager.h".
Qualify the types which now produce compile errors with "legacy::". The
most common ones are "PassManager", "PassManagerBase", and
"FunctionPassManager".

lto_codegen_compile_optimized. Also add lto_api_version.
Before this commit, we can only dump the optimized bitcode after running
lto_codegen_compile, but it includes some impacts of running codegen passes,
one example is StackProtector pass. We will get assertion failure when running
llc on the optimized bitcode, because StackProtector is effectively run twice.
After splitting lto_codegen_compile, the linker can choose to dump the bitcode
before running lto_codegen_compile_optimized.
lto_api_version is added so ld64 can check for runtime-availability of the new
API.

terms of the new pass manager's TargetIRAnalysis.
Yep, this is one of the nicer bits of the new pass manager's design.
Passes can in many cases operate in a vacuum and so we can just nest
things when convenient. This is particularly convenient here as I can
now consolidate all of the TargetMachine logic on this analysis.
The most important change here is that this pushes the function we need
TTI for all the way into the TargetMachine, and re-creates the TTI
object for each function rather than re-using it for each function.
We're now prepared to teach the targets to produce function-specific TTI
objects with specific subtargets cached, etc.
One piece of feedback I'd love here is whether its worth renaming any of
this stuff. None of the names really seem that awesome to me at this
point, but TargetTransformInfoWrapperPass is particularly ... odd.
TargetIRAnalysisWrapper might make more sense. I would want to do that
rename separately anyways, but let me know what you think.

base which it adds a single analysis pass to, to instead return the type
erased TargetTransformInfo object constructed for that TargetMachine.
This removes all of the pass variants for TTI. There is now a single TTI
*pass* in the Analysis layer. All of the Analysis <-> Target
communication is through the TTI's type erased interface itself. While
the diff is large here, it is nothing more that code motion to make
types available in a header file for use in a different source file
within each target.
I've tried to keep all the doxygen comments and file boilerplate in line
with this move, but let me know if I missed anything.
With this in place, the next step to making TTI work with the new pass
manager is to introduce a really simple new-style analysis that produces
a TTI object via a callback into this routine on the target machine.
Once we have that, we'll have the building blocks necessary to accept
a function argument as well.

analyses back into the LTO code generator.
The pass manager builder (and the transforms library in general)
shouldn't be referencing the target machine at all.
This makes the LTO population work like the others -- the data layout
and target transform info need to be pre-populated.

accumulateAndSortLibcalls in LTOCodeGenerator.cpp collects names of runtime
library functions which are used to identify user-defined functions that should
be protected. Previously, this function would only scan the TargetLowering
object belonging to the "main" subtarget for the library function names. This
commit changes it to scan all per-function subtargets.

derived classes.
Since global data alignment, layout, and mangling is often based on the
DataLayout, move it to the TargetMachine. This ensures that global
data is going to be layed out and mangled consistently if the subtarget
changes on a per function basis. Prior to this all targets(*) have
had subtarget dependent code moved out and onto the TargetMachine.
*One target hasn't been migrated as part of this change: R600. The
R600 port has, as a subtarget feature, the size of pointers and
this affects global data layout. I've currently hacked in a FIXME
to enable progress, but the port needs to be updated to either pass
the 64-bitness to the TargetMachine, or fix the DataLayout to
avoid subtarget dependent features.

manager to support the actual uses of it. =]
When I ported instcombine to the new pass manager I discover that it
didn't work because TLI wasn't available in the right places. This is
a somewhat surprising and/or subtle aspect of the new pass manager
design that came up before but I think is useful to be reminded of:
While the new pass manager *allows* a function pass to query a module
analysis, it requires that the module analysis is already run and cached
prior to the function pass manager starting up, possibly with
a 'require<foo>' style utility in the pass pipeline. This is an
intentional hurdle because using a module analysis from a function pass
*requires* that the module analysis is run prior to entering the
function pass manager. Otherwise the other functions in the module could
be in who-knows-what state, etc.
A somewhat surprising consequence of this design decision (at least to
me) is that you have to design a function pass that leverages
a module analysis to do so as an optional feature. Even if that means
your function pass does no work in the absence of the module analysis,
you have to handle that possibility and remain conservatively correct.
This is a natural consequence of things being able to invalidate the
module analysis and us being unable to re-run it. And it's a generally
good thing because it lets us reorder passes arbitrarily without
breaking correctness, etc.
This ends up causing problems in one case. What if we have a module
analysis that is *definitionally* impossible to invalidate. In the
places this might come up, the analysis is usually also definitionally
trivial to run even while other transformation passes run on the module,
regardless of the state of anything. And so, it follows that it is
natural to have a hard requirement on such analyses from a function
pass.
It turns out, that TargetLibraryInfo is just such an analysis, and
InstCombine has a hard requirement on it.
The approach I've taken here is to produce an analysis that models this
flexibility by making it both a module and a function analysis. This
exposes the fact that it is in fact safe to compute at any point. We can
even make it a valid CGSCC analysis at some point if that is useful.
However, we don't want to have a copy of the actual target library info
state for each function! This state is specific to the triple. The
somewhat direct and blunt approach here is to turn TLI into a pimpl,
with the state and mutators in the implementation class and the query
routines primarily in the wrapper. Then the analysis can lazily
construct and cache the implementations, keyed on the triple, and
on-demand produce wrappers of them for each function.
One minor annoyance is that we will end up with a wrapper for each
function in the module. While this is a bit wasteful (one pointer per
function) it seems tolerable. And it has the advantage of ensuring that
we pay the absolute minimum synchronization cost to access this
information should we end up with a nice parallel function pass manager
in the future. We could look into trying to mark when analysis results
are especially cheap to recompute and more eagerly GC-ing the cached
results, or we could look at supporting a variant of analyses whose
results are specifically *not* cached and expected to just be used and
discarded by the consumer. Either way, these seem like incremental
enhancements that should happen when we start profiling the memory and
CPU usage of the new pass manager and not before.
The other minor annoyance is that if we end up using the TLI in both
a module pass and a function pass, those will be produced by two
separate analyses, and thus will point to separate copies of the
implementation state. While a minor issue, I dislike this and would like
to find a way to cleanly allow a single analysis instance to be used
across multiple IR unit managers. But I don't have a good solution to
this today, and I don't want to hold up all of the work waiting to come
up with one. This too seems like a reasonable thing to incrementally
improve later.

This creates a small internal pass which runs the InstCombiner over
a function. This is the hard part of porting InstCombine to the new pass
manager, as at this point none of the code in InstCombine has access to
a Pass object any longer.
The resulting interface for the InstCombiner is pretty terrible. I'm not
planning on leaving it that way. The key thing missing is that we need
to separate the worklist from the combiner a touch more. Once that's
done, it should be possible for *any* part of LLVM to just create
a worklist with instructions, populate it, and then combine it until
empty. The pass will just be the (obvious and important) special case of
doing that for an entire function body.
For now, this is the first increment of factoring to make all of this
work.

While the term "Target" is in the name, it doesn't really have to do
with the LLVM Target library -- this isn't an abstraction which LLVM
targets generally need to implement or extend. It has much more to do
with modeling the various runtime libraries on different OSes and with
different runtime environments. The "target" in this sense is the more
general sense of a target of cross compilation.
This is in preparation for porting this analysis to the new pass
manager.

The bitcode reading interface used std::error_code to report an error to the
callers and it is the callers job to print diagnostics.
This is not ideal for error handling or diagnostic reporting:
* For error handling, all that the callers care about is 3 possibilities:
* It worked
* The bitcode file is corrupted/invalid.
* The file is not bitcode at all.
* For diagnostic, it is user friendly to include far more information
about the invalid case so the user can find out what is wrong with the
bitcode file. This comes up, for example, when a developer introduces a
bug while extending the format.
The compromise we had was to have a lot of error codes.
With this patch we use the DiagnosticHandler to communicate with the
human and std::error_code to communicate with the caller.
This allows us to have far fewer error codes and adds the infrastructure to
print better diagnostics. This is so because the diagnostics are printed when
he issue is found. The code that detected the problem in alive in the stack and
can pass down as much context as needed. As an example the patch updates
test/Bitcode/invalid.ll.
Using a DiagnosticHandler also moves the fatal/non-fatal error decision to the
caller. A simple one like llvm-dis can just use fatal errors. The gold plugin
needs a bit more complex treatment because of being passed non-bitcode files. An
hypothetical interactive tool would make all bitcode errors non-fatal.

Start lazy-loading `LTOModule`s that own their contexts. These can only
really be used for parsing symbols, so its unnecessary to ever
materialize their functions.
I looked into using `IRObjectFile::create()` and optionally calling
`materializAllPermanently()` afterwards, but this turned out to be
awkward.
- The default target triple and data layout logic needs to happen
*before* the call to `IRObjectFile::IRObjectFile()`, but after
`Module` was created.
- I tried passing a lambda in to do the module initialization, but
this seemed to require threading the error message from
`TargetRegistry::lookupTarget()` through `std::error_code`.
- I also looked at setting `errMsg` directly from within the lambda,
but this didn't look any better.
(I guess there's a reason we weren't already using that function.)

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

Having two ways to do this doesn't seem terribly helpful and
consistently using the insert version (which we already has) seems like
it'll make the code easier to understand to anyone working with standard
data structures. (I also updated many references to the Entry's
key and value to use first() and second instead of getKey{Data,Length,}
and get/setValue - for similar consistency)
Also removes the GetOrCreateValue functions so there's less surface area
to StringMap to fix/improve/change/accommodate move semantics, etc.
