Summary:
When performing indirect call promotion, current implementation inspects "all" parameters of the callsite and attemps to match with the formal argument type of the callee function. However, it is not possible to find the type for variable length arguments, and the compiler crashes when it attemps to match the type for variable lenght argument.
It seems that the bug is introduced with D40658. Prior to that, the type matching is performed only for the parameters whose ID is less than callee->getFunctionNumParams(). The attached test case will crash without the patch.

This caused some links to fail with ThinLTO due to missing symbols as
well as causing some binaries to have failures at runtime. We're working
with the author to get a test case, but want to get the tree green
again.
Further, it appears to introduce a data race. While the test usage of
threads was disabled in r325361 & r325362, that isn't an acceptable fix.
I've reverted both of these as well. This code needs to be thread safe.
Test cases for this are already on the original commit thread.

Summary:
Removing the dropped symbols will prevent indirect call promotion in the
ThinLTO Backend from adding a new reference to a symbol, which can
result in linker unsats. This can happen when we compile with a sample
profile collected from one binary by used for another, which may have
profiled targets that aren't used in the new binary.
Note that until dropDeadSymbols handles variables and aliases (in
progress), we may not be able to remove the declaration and can still
have an issue.

This patch modifies the indirect call promotion utilities by exposing and using
an unconditional call promotion interface. The unconditional promotion
interface (i.e., call promotion without creating an if-then-else) can be used
if it's known that an indirect call has only one possible callee. The existing
conditional promotion interface uses this unconditional interface to promote an
indirect call after it has been versioned and placed within the "then" block.
A consequence of unconditional promotion is that the fix-up operations for phi
nodes in the normal destination of invoke instructions are changed. This is
necessary because the existing implementation assumed that an invoke had been
versioned, creating a "merge" block where a return value bitcast could be
placed. In the new implementation, the edge between a promoted invoke's parent
block and its normal destination is split if needed to add a bitcast for the
return value. If the invoke is also versioned, the phi node merging the return
value of the promoted and original invoke instructions is placed in the "merge"
block.

Summary:
1. Use stream 0 only for combined module. Previously if combined module was not
processes ThinLTO used the stream for own output. However small changes in input,
could trigger combined module and shuffle outputs making life of llvm::LTO harder.
2. Always process combined module and write output to stream 0. Processing empty
combined module is cheap and allows llvm::LTO users to avoid implementing processing
which is already done in llvm::LTO.

Summary:
The PGO gen/use passes currently fail with an assert failure if there's a
critical edge whose source is an IndirectBr instruction and that edge
needs to be instrumented.
To avoid this in certain cases, split IndirectBr critical edges in the PGO
gen/use passes. This works for blocks with single indirectbr predecessors,
but not for those with multiple indirectbr predecessors (splitting an
IndirectBr critical edge isn't always possible.)

Summary:
Add the following heuristics for irreducible loop metadata:
- When an irreducible loop header is missing the loop header weight metadata,
give it the minimum weight seen among other headers.
- Annotate indirectbr targets with the loop header weight metadata (as they are
likely to become irreducible loop headers after indirectbr tail duplication.)
These greatly improve the accuracy of the block frequency info of the Python
interpreter loop (eg. from ~3-16x off down to ~40-55% off) and the Python
performance (eg. unpack_sequence from ~50% slower to ~8% faster than GCC) due to
better register allocation under PGO.

Currently the block frequency analysis is an approximation for irreducible

The new irreducible loop metadata is used to annotate the irreducible loop

block frequency analysis for irreducible loops.

Summary:
SamplePGO indirect call profiles record the target as the original GUID
for statics. The importer had special handling to map to the normal GUID
in that case. The dead global analysis needs the same treatment or
inconsistencies arise, resulting in linker unsats due to some dead
symbols being exported and kept, leaving in references to other dead
symbols that are removed.
This can happen when a SamplePGO profile collected by one binary is used
for a different binary, so the indirect call profiles may not accurately
reflect live targets.

Summary: We originally assume that in pgo-icp, the promoted direct call will never be null after strip point casts. However, stripPointerCasts is so smart that it could possibly return the value of the function call if it knows that the return value is always an argument. In this case, the returned value cannot cast to Instruction. In this patch, null check is added to ensure null pointer will not be accessed.

Summary:
Currently, a phi node is created in the normal destination to unify the return values from promoted calls and the original indirect call. This patch makes this phi node to be created only when the return value has uses.
This patch is necessary to generate valid code, as compiler crashes with the attached test case without this patch. Without this patch, an illegal phi node that has no incoming value from `entry`/`catch` is created in `cleanup` block.
I think existing implementation is good as far as there is at least one use of the original indirect call. `insertCallRetPHI` creates a new phi node in the normal destination block only when the original indirect call dominates its use and the normal destination block. Otherwise, `fixupPHINodeForNormalDest` will handle the unification of return values naturally without creating a new phi node. However, if there's no use, `insertCallRetPHI` still creates a new phi node even when the original indirect call does not dominate the normal destination block, because `getCallRetPHINode` returns false.

Summary:
The New Pass Manager infrastructure was forgetting to keep around the optimization remark yaml file that the compiler might have been producing. This meant setting the option to '-' for stdout worked, but setting it to a filename didn't give file output (presumably it was deleted because compilation didn't explicitly keep it). This change just ensures that the file is kept if compilation succeeds.
So far I have updated one of the optimization remark output tests to add a version with the new pass manager. It is my intention for this patch to also include changes to all tests that use `-opt-remark-output=` but I wanted to get the code patch ready for review while I was making all those changes.

Summary: In the current implementation, isPromotionProfitable only checks if the call count to a direct target is no less than a certain percentage threshold of the remaining call counts that have not been promoted. This causes code size problems when the target count is small but greater than a large portion of remaining counts. E.g. target1 takes 99.9%, while target2 takes 0.1%. Both targets will be promoted and inlined, makes the function size too large, which potentially prevents it from further inlining into its callers. This patch adds another percentage threshold against the total indirect call count. If the target count needs to be no less than both thresholds in order to be promoted speculatively.

This is a module pass so for the old PM, we can't use ORE, the function
analysis pass. Instead ORE is created on the fly.
A few notes:
- isPromotionLegal is folded in the caller since we want to emit the Function
in the remark but we can only do that if the symbol table look-up succeeded.
- There was good test coverage for remarks in this pass.
- promoteIndirectCall uses ORE conditionally since it's also used from
SampleProfile which does not use ORE yet.

This is an incremental change to the promotion feature.
There are two problems with the current behavior:
1) loops with multiple exiting blocks are totally disabled
2) a counter update can only be promoted one level up in
the loop nest -- which does help much for short trip
count inner loops inside a high trip-count outer loops.
Due to this limitation, we still saw very large profile
count fluctuations from run to run for the affected loops
which are usually very hot.
This patch adds the support for promotion counters iteratively
across the loop nest. It also turns on the promotion for
loops with multiple exiting blocks (with a limit).
For single-threaded applications, the performance impact is flat
on average. For instance, dealII improves, but povray regresses.

Summary:
In SamplePGO, if the profile is collected from non-LTO binary, and used to drive ThinLTO, the indirect call promotion may fail because ThinLTO adjusts local function names to avoid conflicts. There are two places of where the mismatch can happen:
1. thin-link prepends SourceFileName to front of FuncName to build the GUID (GlobalValue::getGlobalIdentifier). Unlike instrumentation FDO, SamplePGO does not use the PGOFuncName scheme and therefore the indirect call target profile data contains a hash of the OriginalName.
2. backend compiler promotes some local functions to global and appends .llvm.{$ModuleHash} to the end of the FuncName to derive PromotedFunctionName
This patch tries at the best effort to find the GUID from the original local function name (in profile), and use that in ICP promotion, and in SamplePGO matching that happens in the backend after importing/inlining:
1. in thin-link, it builds the map from OriginalName to GUID so that when thin-link reads in indirect call target profile (represented by OriginalName), it knows which GUID to import.
2. in backend compiler, if sample profile reader cannot find a profile match for PromotedFunctionName, it will try to find if there is a match for OriginalFunctionName.
3. in backend compiler, we build symbol table entry for OriginalFunctionName and pointer to the same symbol of PromotedFunctionName, so that ICP can find the correct target to promote.
