There is a fundamental difference between how the gold API and lib/LTO view
the LTO process.
The gold API talks about a particular symbol in a particular file. The lib/LTO
API talks about a symbol in the merged module.
The merged module is then defined in terms of the IR semantics. In particular,
a linkonce_odr GV is only copied if it is used, since it is valid to drop
unused linkonce_odr GVs.
In the testcase in pr19901 both properties collide. What happens is that gold
asks us to keep a particular linkonce_odr symbol, but the IR linker doesn't
copy it to the merged module and we never have a chance to ask lib/LTO to keep
it.
This patch fixes it by having a more direct implementation of the gold API. If
it asks us to keep a symbol, we change the linkage so it is not linkonce. If it
says we can drop a symbol, we do so. All of this before we even send the module
to lib/Linker.
Since now we don't have to produce LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_DEFAULT_CAN_BE_HIDDEN,
during symbol resolution we can use a temporary LLVMContext and do lazy
module loading. This allows us to keep the minimum possible amount of
allocated memory around. This should also allow as much parallelism as
we want, since there is no shared context.

Implement `uselistorder` and `uselistorder_bb` assembly directives,
which allow the use-list order to be recovered when round-tripping to
assembly.
This is the bulk of PR20515.

Owning the buffer is somewhat inflexible. Some Binaries have sub Binaries
(like Archive) and we had to create dummy buffers just to handle that. It is
also a bad fit for IRObjectFile where the Module wants to own the buffer too.
Keeping this ownership would make supporting IR inside native objects
particularly painful.
This patch focuses in lib/Object. If something elsewhere used to own an Binary,
now it also owns a MemoryBuffer.
This patch introduces a few new types.
* MemoryBufferRef. This is just a pair of StringRefs for the data and name.
This is to MemoryBuffer as StringRef is to std::string.
* OwningBinary. A combination of Binary and a MemoryBuffer. This is needed
for convenience functions that take a filename and return both the
buffer and the Binary using that buffer.
The C api now uses OwningBinary to avoid any change in semantics. I will start
a new thread to see if we want to change it and how.

* Use StringRef instead of std::string&
* Return a std::unique_ptr<Module> instead of taking an optional module to write
to (was not really used).
* Use current comment style.
* Use current naming convention.

Call `verifyModule()` after parsing and after every transformation.
Also convert some `DEBUG(dbgs())` to `errs()` to increase visibility
into what's going on.

file with -macho, the Mach-O specific object file parser option.
After some discussion I chose to do this implementation contained in the logic
of llvm-objdump’s MachODump.cpp using a second disassembler for thumb when
needed and with updates mostly contained in the MachOObjectFile class.

Add header guards to files that were missing guards. Remove #endif comments
as they don't seem common in LLVM (we can easily add them back if we decide
they're useful)
Changes made by clang-tidy with minor tweaks.

ARM bots (& others, I think, now that I look) were failing because we
were using incorrect printf-style format specifiers. They were wrong
on almost any platform, actually, just mostly harmlessly so.

the 3.6 branch date at any rate.
Approved by Jim Grosbach, Lang Hames, Rafael Espindola.
This reverts commits r215111, 215115, 215116, 215117, 215136.

I am sure we will be finding bits and pieces of dead code for years to
come, but this is a good start.
Thanks to Lang Hames for making MCJIT a good replacement!

This will cause -verify mode to report failure when RuntimeDyld encounters an
internal error (e.g. overflows in relocation computations). Previously we had
let these errors slip past unreported.

This is mostly a cleanup, but it changes a fairly old behavior.
Every "real" LTO user was already disabling the silly internalize pass
and creating the internalize pass itself. The difference with this
patch is for "opt -std-link-opts" and the C api.
Now to get a usable behavior out of opt one doesn't need the funny
looking command line:
opt -internalize -disable-internalize -internalize-public-api-list=foo,bar -std-link-opts

Updated `verify-uselistorder` to more than double the number of use-list
orders it checks.
- Every time it verifies an order, it then reverses the order and
verifies again.
- It now verifies the initial order, before running any shuffles.
Changed the default to `-num-shuffles=1`, since this is already four
checks, and after r214584 shuffling is guaranteed to make a new order.
This is part of PR5680.

`shuffleUseLists()` is only used in `verify-uselistorder`, so move it
there to avoid bloating other executables. As a drive-by, update some
of the header docs.
