Summary:
First patch to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization Enablement,
see RFC here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
Always emit !vcall_visibility metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
and not just for -fvirtual-function-elimination. The vcall visibility
metadata will (in a subsequent patch) be used to communicate to WPD
which vtables are safe to devirtualize, and we will optionally convert
the metadata to hidden visibility at link time. Subsequent follow on
patches will help enable this by adding vcall_visibility metadata to the
ThinLTO summaries, and always emit type test intrinsics under
-fwhole-program-vtables (and not just for vtables with hidden
visibility).
In order to do this safely with VFE, since for VFE all vtable loads must
be type checked loads which will no longer be the case, this patch adds
a new "Virtual Function Elim" module flag to communicate to GlobalDCE
whether to perform VFE using the vcall_visibility metadata.
One additional advantage of using the vcall_visibility metadata to drive
more WPD at LTO link time is that we can use the same mechanism to
enable more aggressive VFE at LTO link time as well. The link time
option proposed in the RFC will convert vcall_visibility metadata to
hidden (aka linkage unit visibility), which combined with
-fvirtual-function-elimination will allow it to be done more
aggressively at LTO link time under the same conditions.

This file lists every pass in LLVM, and is included by Pass.h, which is
very popular. Every time we add, remove, or rename a pass in LLVM, it
caused lots of recompilation.
I found this fact by looking at this table, which is sorted by the
number of times a file was changed over the last 100,000 git commits
multiplied by the number of object files that depend on it in the
current checkout:

131619 73 1803 llvm/include/llvm/Support/FileSystem.h
Before this change, touching InitializePasses.h would cause 1345 files
to recompile. After this change, touching it only causes 550 compiles in
an incremental rebuild.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.
I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.
This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.
Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

Itanium ABI may have an address point one byte after the end of a
vtable. When such vtable global is split, the !type metadata needs to
follow the right vtable.
