This is the orignal patch + a check that LLVM_BUILD_EXAMPLES is enabled before
adding a dependency on the 'Bye' example pass.
Original summary:
Add cli options for new passmanager plugin support to lld.
Currently it is not possible to load dynamic NewPM plugins with lld. This is an
incremental update to D76866. While that patch only added cli options for
llvm-lto2, this adds them for lld as well. This is especially useful for running
dynamic plugins on the linux kernel with LTO.

printTraceSymbol needs to take the symbol name since `other`'s name is empty.
A STV_PROTECTED shared definition does not set exportDynamic of a defined
symbol. This is on the basis that a protected definition cannot be preempted so
the export is unnecessary. However, the condition is imperfect because we don't
know whether the shared object was built with a symbolic option. Since dropping
the condition simplifies code and matches GNU ld, let's do it.
Placeholders (-y and redirectSymbols removed versioned symbols) are very rare and
the check just makes symbol table iteration slower. Most iterations filter out
placeholders anyway, so this change just drops the filter behavior.
For "Add symbols to symtabs", we need to ensure that redirectSymbols sets
isUsedInRegularObj to false when making a symbol placeholder, to avoid an
assertion failure in SymbolTableSection<ELFT>::writeTo.
My .text is 2KiB smaller. The speed-up linking chrome is 0.x%.
The new `lazy` state is the inverse of the previous `LazyObjFile::extracted`.
There are many advantages:
* previously when a LazyObjFile was extracted, a new ObjFile/BitcodeFile was created; now the file is reused, just with `lazy` cleared
* avoid the confusing transfer of `symbols` from LazyObjFile to the new file
* the `incompatible file:` diagnostic is unified with `is incompatible with`
* simpler code, smaller executable (6200+ bytes smaller on x86-64)
* make eager parsing feasible (for parallel section/symbol table initialization)
The canonical term is "extract" (GNU ld documentation, Solaris's `-z *extract`
options). Avoid inventing a term and match --why-extract. (ld64 prefers "load"

Currenlty PseudoProbeInserter is a pass conditioned on a target switch. It works well with a single clang invocation. It doesn't work so well when the backend is called separately (i.e, through the linker or llc), where user has always to pass -pseudo-probe-for-profiling explictly. I'm making the pass a default pass that requires no command line arg to trigger, but will be actually run depending on whether the CU comes with `llvm.pseudo_probe_desc` metadata.

Bitcode writer does not flush buffer until the end by default. This is
fine to small bitcode files. When -flto,--plugin-opt=emit-llvm,-gmlt are
used, the final bitcode file is large, for example, >8G. Keeping all
data in memory consumes a lot of memory.
This change allows bitcode writer flush data to disk early when buffered
data size is above some threshold. This is only enabled when lld emits
LLVM bitcode.
One issue to address is backpatching bitcode: subblock length, function
body indexes, meta data indexes need to backfill. If buffer can be
flushed partially, we introduced raw_fd_stream that supports
read/seek/write, and enables backpatching bitcode flushed in disk.

This change introduces an LLD switch --thinlto-single-module to allow compiling only a part of the input modules. This is specifically enables:
1. Fast investigating/debugging modules of interest without spending time on compiling unrelated modules.
2. Compiler debug dump with -mllvm -debug-only= for specific modules.
It will be useful for large applications which has 1K+ input modules for thinLTO.
The switch can be combined with `--lto-obj-path=` or `--lto-emit-asm` to obtain intermediate object files or assembly files. So far the module name matching is implemented as a fuzzy name lookup where the modules with name containing the switch value are compiled.
E.g,
Command:
ld.lld main.o thin.a --thinlto-single-module=thin.a --lto-obj-path=single.o
log:

unused empty combined module is not emitted.
This changed is helpful for some target (ex. RISCV-V) which encoded the

info so the linker would get the linking error during merging

Summary: The switch --plugin-opt=emit-asm can be used with the gold linker to dump the final assembly code generated by LTO in a user-friendly way. Unfortunately it doesn't work with lld. I'm hooking it up with lld. With that switch, lld emits assembly code into the output file (specified by -o) and if there are multiple input files, each of their assembly code will be emitted into a separate file named by suffixing the output file name with a unique number, respectively. The linking then stops after generating those assembly files.

This patch adds lld support for basic block sections and performs relaxations
after the basic blocks have been reordered.
After the linker has reordered the basic block sections according to the
desired sequence, it runs a relaxation pass to optimize jump instructions.
Currently, the compiler emits the long form of all jump instructions. AMD64 ISA
supports variants of jump instructions with one byte offset or a four byte
offset. The compiler generates jump instructions with R_X86_64 32-bit PC
relative relocations. We would like to use a new relocation type for these jump
instructions as it makes it easy and accurate while relaxing these instructions.
The relaxation pass does two things:
First, it deletes all explicit fall-through direct jump instructions between
adjacent basic blocks. This is done by discarding the tail of the basic block
section.
Second, If there are consecutive jump instructions, it checks if the first
conditional jump can be inverted to convert the second into a fall through and
delete the second.
The jump instructions are relaxed by using jump instruction mods, something
like relocations. These are used to modify the opcode of the jump instruction.
Jump instruction mods contain three values, instruction offset, jump type and
size. While writing this jump instruction out to the final binary, the linker
uses the jump instruction mod to determine the opcode and the size of the
modified jump instruction. These mods are required because the input object
files are memory-mapped without write permissions and directly modifying the
object files requires copying these sections. Copying a large number of basic
block sections significantly bloats memory.

Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.
One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.
When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).
When N <= number-of-hardware-threads-on-a-CPU-socket, the threads will remain on the CPU socket where the process started (only on Windows).

Summary:
Third part in series to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization
Enablement, see RFC here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
This patch adds type test metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
even for classes without hidden visibility. It then changes WPD to skip
devirtualization for a virtual function call when any of the compatible
vtables has public vcall visibility.
Additionally, internal LLVM options as well as lld and gold-plugin
options are added which enable upgrading all public vcall visibility
to linkage unit (hidden) visibility during LTO. This enables the more
aggressive WPD to kick in based on LTO time knowledge of the visibility
guarantees.
Support was added to all flavors of LTO WPD (regular, hybrid and
index-only), and to both the new and old LTO APIs.
Unfortunately it was not simple to split the first and second parts of
this part of the change (the unconditional emission of type tests and
the upgrading of the vcall visiblity) as I needed a way to upgrade the
public visibility on legacy WPD llvm assembly tests that don't include
linkage unit vcall visibility specifiers, to avoid a lot of test churn.
I also added a mechanism to LowerTypeTests that allows dropping type
test assume sequences we now aggressively insert when we invoke
distributed ThinLTO backends with null indexes, which is used in testing
mode, and which doesn't invoke the normal ThinLTO backend pipeline.
Depends on D71907 and D71911.
