I was trying to pick this up a bit when reviewing D48426 (& perhaps D69778) - in any case, looks like D48426 added a module level flag that might not be needed.
The D48426 implementation worked by setting a module level flag, then code generating contents from the PCH a special case in ASTContext::DeclMustBeEmitted would be used to delay emitting the definition of these functions if they came from a Module with this flag.
This strategy is similar to the one initially implemented for modular codegen that was removed in D29901 in favor of the modular decls list and a bit on each decl to specify whether it's homed to a module.
One major difference between PCH object support and modular code generation, other than the specific list of decls that are homed, is the compilation model: MSVC PCH modules are built into the object file for some other source file (when compiling that source file /Yc is specified to say "this compilation is where the PCH is homed"), whereas modular code generation invokes a separate compilation for the PCH alone. So the current modular code generation test of to decide if a decl should be emitted "is the module where this decl is serialized the current main file" has to be extended (as Lubos did in D69778) to also test the command line flag -building-pch-with-obj.
Otherwise the whole thing is basically streamlined down to the modular code generation path.
This even offers one extra material improvement compared to the existing divergent implementation: Homed functions are not emitted into object files that use the pch. Instead at -O0 they are not emitted into the IR at all, and at -O1 they are emitted using available_externally (existing functionality implemented for modular code generation). The pch-codegen test has been updated to reflect this new behavior.
[If possible: I'd love it if we could not have the extra MSVC-style way of accessing dllexport-pch-homing, and just do it the modular codegen way, but I understand that it might be a limitation of existing build systems. @hans / @thakis: Do either of you know if it'd be practical to move to something more similar to .pcm handling, where the pch itself is passed to the compilation, rather than homed as a side effect of compiling some other source file?]

If we're going to assume references are dereferenceable, we should also
assume they're aligned: otherwise, we can't actually dereference them.

For consistency with normal instructions and clarity when reading IR,
it's best to print the %0, %1, ... names of function arguments in
definitions.
Also modifies the parser to accept IR in that form for obvious reasons.

The code in ASTContext::DeclMustBeEmitted was supposed to handle this,
but didn't take into account that synthesized members such as operator=
might not get marked as template specializations, because they're
synthesized on the instantiation directly when handling the class-level
dllexport attribute.

With MSVC, PCH files are created along with an object file that needs to
be linked into the final library or executable. That object file
contains the code generated when building the headers. In particular, it
will include definitions of inline dllexport functions, and because they
are emitted in this object file, other files using the PCH do not need
to emit them. See the bug for an example.
This patch makes clang-cl match MSVC's behaviour in this regard, causing
significant compile-time savings when building dlls using precompiled
headers.
For example, in a 64-bit optimized shared library build of Chromium with
PCH, it reduces the binary size and compile time of
stroke_opacity_custom.obj from 9315564 bytes to 3659629 bytes and 14.6
to 6.63 s. The wall-clock time of building blink_core.dll goes from
38m41s to 22m33s. ("user" time goes from 1979m to 1142m).
