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.

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.)

These look like copy/paste errors, and shouldn't have the "prior to"
qualifier. Each API was introduced at the given values of
`LTO_API_VERSION`. The "prior to" in other doxygen comments is because
I couldn't easily differentiate between versions 1 and 2 when I added
these comments.

When debugging LTO issues with ld64, we use -save-temps to save the merged
optimized bitcode file, then invoke ld64 again on the single bitcode file.
The saved bitcode file is already internalized, so we can call
lto_codegen_set_should_internalize and skip running internalization again.

When debugging LTO issues with ld64, we use -save-temps to save the merged
optimized bitcode file, then invoke ld64 again on the single bitcode file to
speed up debugging code generation passes and ld64 stuff after code generation.
llvm linking a single bitcode file via lto_codegen_add_module will generate a
different bitcode file from the single input. With the newly-added
lto_codegen_set_module, we can make sure the destination module is the same as
the input.
lto_codegen_set_module will transfer the ownship of the module to code
generator.

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.

Add API for specifying which `LLVMContext` each `lto_module_t` and
`lto_code_gen_t` is in.
In particular, this enables the following flow:
for (auto &File : Files) {
lto_module_t M = lto_module_create_in_local_context(File...);
querySymbols(M);
lto_module_dispose(M);
}
lto_code_gen_t CG = lto_codegen_create_in_local_context();
for (auto &File : FilesToLink) {
lto_module_t M = lto_module_create_in_codegen_context(File..., CG);
lto_codegen_add_module(CG, M);
lto_module_dispose(M);
}
lto_codegen_compile(CG);
lto_codegen_write_merged_modules(CG, ...);
lto_codegen_dispose(CG);
This flow has a few benefits.
- Only one module (two if you count the combined module in the code
generator) is in memory at a time.
- Metadata (and constants) from files that are parsed to query symbols
but not linked into the code generator don't pollute the global
context.
- The first for loop can be parallelized, since each module is in its
own context.
- When the code generator is disposed, the memory from LTO gets freed.

This adds support for an -mattr option to the gold plugin and to llvm-lto. This
allows the caller to specify details of the subtarget architecture, like +aes,

A 'remark' is information that is not an error or a warning, but rather some
additional information provided to the user. In contrast to a 'note' a 'remark'
is an independent diagnostic, whereas a 'note' always depends on another
diagnostic.
A typical use case for remark nodes is information provided to the user, e.g.
information provided by the vectorizer about loops that have been vectorized.

This function adds an extra path argument to lto_module_create_from_memory.
The path argument will be passed to makeBuffer to make sure the MemoryBuffer
has a name and the created module has a module identifier.
This is mainly for emitting warning messages from the linker. When we emit
warning message on a module, we can use the module identifier.

Adding a doxygen comment for each bit of API to indicate at which
LTO_API_VERSION each was available, manually gleaned from successive
git-blames. A few notes:
- LTO_API_VERSION was set to 3 at its introduction.
- I've indicated all the API introduced before LTO_API_VERSION was
around as available "prior to LTO_API_VERSION=3".
- A number of API changes neglected to bump LTO_API_VERSION. These I've
indicated as available at the *next* bump of LTO_API_VERSION.

Add a hook in the C API of LTO so that clients of the code generator can set
their own handler for the LLVM diagnostics.
The handler is defined like this:
typedef void (*lto_diagnostic_handler_t)(lto_codegen_diagnostic_severity_t
severity, const char *diag, void *ctxt)
- severity says how bad this is.
- diag is a string that contains the diagnostic message.
- ctxt is the registered context for this handler.
This hook is more general than the lto_get_error_message, since this function
keeps only the latest message and can only be queried when something went wrong
(no warning for instance).

Reapply r199191, reverted in r199197 because it carelessly broke
Other/link-opts.ll. The problem was that calling
createInternalizePass("main") would select
createInternalizePass(bool("main")) instead of
createInternalizePass(ArrayRef<const char *>("main")). This commit
fixes the bug.
The original commit message follows.
Add API to LTOCodeGenerator to specify a strategy for the -internalize
pass.
This is a new attempt at Bill's change in r185882, which he reverted in
r188029 due to problems with the gold linker. This puts the onus on the
linker to decide whether (and what) to internalize.
In particular, running internalize before outputting an object file may
change a 'weak' symbol into an internal one, even though that symbol
could be needed by an external object file --- e.g., with arclite.
This patch enables three strategies:
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL: the default (and the old behaviour).
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_NONE: skip -internalize.
- LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN: only -internalize symbols with hidden
visibility.
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL should be used when linking an executable.
Outputting an object file (e.g., via ld -r) is more complicated, and
depends on whether hidden symbols should be internalized. E.g., for
ld -r, LTO_INTERNALIZE_NONE can be used when -keep_private_externs, and
LTO_INTERNALIZE_HIDDEN can be used otherwise. However,
LTO_INTERNALIZE_FULL is inappropriate, since the output object file will
eventually need to link with others.
lto_codegen_set_internalize_strategy() sets the strategy for subsequent
calls to lto_codegen_write_merged_modules() and lto_codegen_compile*().

There are two ways one could implement hiding of linkonce_odr symbols in LTO:
* LLVM tells the linker which symbols can be hidden if not used from native
files.
* The linker tells LLVM which symbols are not used from other object files,
but will be put in the dso symbol table if present.
GOLD's API is the second option. It was implemented almost 1:1 in llvm by
passing the list down to internalize.
LLVM already had partial support for the first option. It is also very similar
to how ld64 handles hiding these symbols when *not* doing LTO.
This patch then
* removes the APIs for the DSO list.
* marks LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_DEFAULT_CAN_BE_HIDDEN all linkonce_odr unnamed_addr
global values and other linkonce_odr whose address is not used.
* makes the gold plugin responsible for handling the API mismatch.

This reverts commit r193255 and instead creates an lto_bool_t typedef
that points to bool, _Bool, or unsigned char depending on what is
available. Only recent versions of MSVC provide a stdbool.h header.

Generalize the API so we can distinguish symbols that are needed just for a DSO
symbol table from those that are used from some native .o.
The symbols that are only wanted for the dso symbol table can be dropped if
llvm can prove every other dso has a copy (linkonce_odr) and the address is not
important (unnamed_addr).

----
Add new API lto_codegen_compile_parallel().
This API is proposed by Nick Kledzik. The semantic is:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generate code for merged module into an array of native object files. On
success returns a pointer to an array of NativeObjectFile. The count
parameter returns the number of elements in the array. Each element is
a pointer/length for a generated mach-o/ELF buffer. The buffer is owned
by the lto_code_gen_t and will be freed when lto_codegen_dispose() is called,
or lto_codegen_compile() is called again. On failure, returns NULL
(check lto_get_error_message() for details).
extern const struct NativeObjectFile*
lto_codegen_compile_parallel(lto_code_gen_t cg, size_t *count);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This API is currently only called on OSX platform. Linux or other Unixes
using GNU gold are not supposed to call this function, because on these systems,
object files are fed back to linker via disk file instead of memory buffer.
In this commit, lto_codegen_compile_parallel() simply calls
lto_codegen_compile() to return a single object file. In the near future,
this function is the entry point for compilation with partition. Linker can
blindly call this function even if partition is turned off; in this case,
compiler will return only one object file.

1. Add some helper classes for partitions. They are designed in a
way such that the top-level LTO driver will not see much difference
with or without partitioning.
2. Introduce work-dir. Now all intermediate files generated during
LTO phases will be saved under work-dir. User can specify the workdir
via -lto-workdir=/path/to/dir. By default the work-dir will be
erased before linker exit. To keep the workdir, do -lto-keep, or -lto-keep=1.
TODO: Erase the workdir, if the linker exit prematurely.
We are currently not able to remove directory on signal. The support
routines simply ignore directory.
3. Add one new API lto_codegen_get_files_need_remove().
Linker and LTO plugin will communicate via this API about which files
(including directories) need to removed before linker exit.

This function sets the `_exportDynamic' ivar. When that's set, we export all
symbols (e.g. we don't run the internalize pass). This is equivalent to the
`--export-dynamic' linker flag in GNU land:
--export-dynamic
When creating a dynamically linked executable, add all symbols to the dynamic
symbol table. The dynamic symbol table is the set of symbols which are visible
from dynamic objects at run time. If you do not use this option, the dynamic
symbol table will normally contain only those symbols which are referenced by
some dynamic object mentioned in the link. If you use dlopen to load a dynamic
object which needs to refer back to the symbols defined by the program, rather
than some other dynamic object, then you will probably need to use this option
when linking the program itself.
The Darwin linker will support this via the `-export_dynamic' flag. We should
modify clang to support this via the `-rdynamic' flag.

Necessary to give disassembler users (like darwin's otool) a possibility to
dlopen libLTO and still initialize the required LLVM bits. This used to go
through libMCDisassembler but that's a gross layering violation, the MC layer
can't pull in functions from the targets. Adding a function to libLTO is a bit
of a hack but not worse than exposing other disassembler bits from libLTO.

This gives a lot of love to the docs for the C API. Like Clang's
documentation, the C API is now organized into a Doxygen "module"
(LLVMC). Each C header file is a child of the main module. Some modules
(like Core) have a hierarchy of there own. The produced documentation is
thus better organized (before everything was in one monolithic list).
This patch also includes a lot of new documentation for APIs in Core.h.
It doesn't document them all, but is better than none. Function docs are
missing @param and @return annotation, but the documentation body now
commonly provides help details (like the expected llvm::Value sub-type
to expect).
