We need to add an entry in the combined-index for modules that have
a hash but otherwise empty summary, this is needed so that we can
get the hash for the module.
Also, if no entry is present in the combined index for a module, we
need to skip it when trying to compute a cache entry.

Summary:
This patch improves thinlto importer
by importing 3x larger functions that are called from hot block.
I compared performance with the trunk on spec, and there
were about 2% on povray and 3.33% on milc. These results seems
to be consistant and match the results Teresa got with her simple
heuristic. Some benchmarks got slower but I think they are just
noisy (mcf, xalancbmki, omnetpp)- running the benchmarks again with
more iterations to confirm. Geomean of all benchmarks including the noisy ones
were about +0.02%.
I see much better improvement on google branch with Easwaran patch
for pgo callsite inlining (the inliner actually inline those big functions)
Over all I see +0.5% improvement, and I get +8.65% on povray.
So I guess we will see much bigger change when Easwaran patch will land
(it depends on new pass manager), but it is still worth putting this to trunk
before it.
Implementation details changes:
- Removed CallsiteCount.
- ProfileCount got replaced by Hotness
- hot-import-multiplier is set to 3.0 for now,
didn't have time to tune it up, but I see that we get most of the interesting
functions with 3, so there is no much performance difference with higher, and
binary size doesn't grow as much as with 10.0.

The NativeObjectOutput class has a design problem: it mixes up the caching
policy with the interface for output streams, which makes the client-side
code hard to follow and would for example make it harder to replace the
cache implementation in an arbitrary client.
This change separates the two aspects by moving the caching policy
to a separate field in Config, replacing NativeObjectOutput with a
NativeObjectStream class which only deals with streams and does not need to
be overridden by most clients and introducing an AddFile callback for adding
files (e.g. from the cache) to the link.

With the new LTO API in r278338, we stopped emitting the individual
index files and imports files for some modules in the distributed backend
case (thinlto-index-only plugin option).
Specifically, this is when the linker decides not to include a module in the
link, because it was in an archive library and did not have a strong
reference to it. Not creating the expected output files makes the
distributed build system implementation more difficult, in terms of
checking for the expected outputs of the thin link, and scheduling the
backend jobs. To address this, the gold-plugin will write dummy empty
.thinlto.bc and .imports files for modules not included in the link
(which LTO never sees).
Augmented a gold v1.12+ test, since that version of gold has the handling
for notifying on modules not being included in the link.
llvm-svn: 282100
Summary:
Emit an empty summary section, instead of no summary section, when
there are no global variables in the index. This ensures that LTO
will treat these files as ThinLTO inputs, instead of as regular
LTO inputs.
In addition to not being what the user likely intended when
compiling with -flto=thin, the current behavior is problematic for
distributed build systems that expect to get ThinLTO index and imports
files back for each input compiled with -flto=thin. Combining into
a single regular LTO module also reduces the backend parallelism.
And in the case where the index was suppressed due to uses in
inline assembly, combining into a single LTO module could provoke
renaming of duplicates that we were trying to prevent by suppressing
the index.
This change required a couple of fixes to handle the empty summary
section.

Summary:
In runThinLTO we start the task numbering for ThinLTO backend
tasks depending on whether there was also a regular LTO object
(CombinedModule). However, the CombinedModule is moved at
the end of runRegularLTO, so we need to save this information and
pass it into runThinLTO. Otherwise the AddOutput callback to the client
will use the same task number for both the regular LTO object
and the first ThinLTO object, which in gold-plugin caused only
one to be end up in the output filename array and therefore passed
back to gold for the final native link.

Previously the prevailing information was not honored, and commons
symbols could override a strong definition. This patch fixes it and
propose the following semantic for commons: the client should mark
as prevailing the commons that it expects the LTO implementation to
merge (i.e. take the maximum size and alignment).
It implies that commons are allowed to have multiple prevailing
definitions.

Summary:
This addresses a regression in common handling from the new LTO
API in r278338. Only create a new common if the size is different.
The type comparison against an array type fails when the size is
different but not an array. GlobalMerge does not handle the
array types as well and we lose some global merging opportunities.

Summary:
Have the cache pass back the path to the cache entry when it
is ready to be loaded, instead of a buffer.
For gold-plugin we can simply pass this file back to gold directly,
which avoids expensive writing of a separate tmp file. Ensure
the cache entry is not deleted on cleanup by adjusting the setting
of the IsTemporary flags.
Moved the loading of the buffer into llvm-lto2 to maintain current
behavior.

Add the ability to plug a cache on the LTO API.
I tried to write such that a linker implementation can
control the cache backend. This is intrusive and I'm
not totally happy with it, but I can't figure out a
better design right now.

Summary:
I assume there was a use case, so maybe this strawman patch will help
clarifying if it is legit.
In any case the current situation is not legit: a ThinLTO compilation
should not trigger an unexpected full LTO compilation.
Right now, adding a --save-temps option triggers this and makes the
number of output differs.

An important performance setting on the LLVMContext for LTO is
enableDebugTypeODRUniquing(), this adds an automatic merging of
debug information in the context based on type ids.
Also, the lto::Config includes a diagnostic handler that needs to
be set on the Context, as well as the setDiscardValueNames() setting.

It use to be non-const for the sole purpose of custom handling of
commons symbol. This is moved now in the regular LTO handling now
and such we can constify the callback.

commons correctly based on the given resolution.

directly produce the index as the value type result.
This requires making the index movable which is straightforward. It
greatly simplifies things by allowing us to completely avoid the builder
API and the layers of abstraction inherent there. Instead both pass
managers can directly construct these when run by value. They still
won't be constructed truly eagerly thanks to the optional in the legacy
PM. The code that directly builds the index can also just share a direct
function.
A notable change here is that the result type of the analysis for the
new PM is no longer a reference type. This was really problematic when
making changes to how we handle result types to make our interface
requirements *much* more strict and precise. But I think this is an
overall improvement.

Summary:
This was reversed compared to ThinLTOCodeGenerator for some reason,
and lead to an increased code-size on my tests. I figured that the
weak resolution may internalize a linkonce function, which will be
promoted immediately (and renamed), before being internalized again.

Summary:
Multiple APIs were taking a StringMap for the ImportLists containing
the entries for for all the modules while operating on a single entry
for the current module. Instead we can pass the desired ModuleImport
directly. Also some of the APIs were not const, I believe just to be
able to use operator[] on the StringMap.

Summary:
Fixed a bug in ThinLTOCodeGenerator's temp file dumping. The Twine
needs to be passed directly as an argument, or a copy saved into a
std::string.
It doesn't seem there are any consumers of this, so I added a new option
to llvm-lto to enable saving of temp files during ThinLTO, and augmented
a test to use it to check post-import but pre-opt bitcode.
