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.

Summary:
As discussed on mailing list, for ThinLTO importing we don't need
to import all the fields of the DICompileUnit. Don't import enums,
macros, retained types lists. Also only import local scoped imported
entities. Since we don't currently import any global variables,
we also don't need to import the list of global variables (added an
assert to verify none are being imported).
This is being done by pre-populating the value map entries to map
the unneeded metadata to nullptr. For the imported entities, we can
simply replace the source module's list with a new list containing
only those needed imported entities. This is done in the IRLinker
constructor so that value mapping automatically does the desired
mapping.

Module inline asm was always being linked/concatenated
when running the IRLinker. This is correct for full LTO but not when
we are importing for ThinLTO, as it can result in multiply defined
symbols when the module asm defines a global symbol.
In order to test with llvm-lto2, I had to work around PR30396,
where a symbol that is defined in module assembly but defined in the
LLVM IR appears twice. Added workaround to llvm-lto2 with a FIXME.
Fixes PR30610.

If a local_unnamed_addr attribute is attached to a global, the address
is known to be insignificant within the module. It is distinct from the
existing unnamed_addr attribute in that it only describes a local property
of the module rather than a global property of the symbol.
This attribute is intended to be used by the code generator and LTO to allow
the linker to decide whether the global needs to be in the symbol table. It is
possible to exclude a global from the symbol table if three things are true:
- This attribute is present on every instance of the global (which means that
the normal rule that the global must have a unique address can be broken without
being observable by the program by performing comparisons against the global's
address)
- The global has linkonce_odr linkage (which means that each linkage unit must have
its own copy of the global if it requires one, and the copy in each linkage unit
must be the same)
- It is a constant or a function (which means that the program cannot observe that
the unique-address rule has been broken by writing to the global)
Although this attribute could in principle be computed from the module
contents, LTO clients (i.e. linkers) will normally need to be able to compute
this property as part of symbol resolution, and it would be inefficient to
materialize every module just to compute it.

The alias handling was specific to the old iterative inlining
mechanism, so that is dead now. The variable handling could make a
difference, since we were previously falling through to the normal
selection logic, but we don't observe changes in the validation
because no client seems to rely on it.

Since we have moved to a model where functions are imported in bulk from
each source module after making summary-based importing decisions, there
is no longer a need to link metadata as a postpass, and all users have
been removed.
This essentially reverts r255909 and follow-on fixes.

After comdat processing, the symbols still go through regular symbol
resolution.
We were not doing it for linkonce symbols since they are lazy linked.
This fixes pr27044.
llvm-svn: 264288
If not for lazy linking of linkonce GVs, comdats are just a
preprocessing before symbol resolution.
Lazy linking complicates it since when we pick a visible member of
comdat, we have to make sure the rest of it passes symbol resolution
too.
llvm-svn: 264223
If a comdat is dropped, all symbols in it are dropped.
If a comdat is kept, the symbols survive to pass regular symbol
resolution.
With this patch we do that for all global symbols.
The added test is a copy of test/tools/gold/X86/comdat.ll that we now
pass.
llvm-svn: 264192
A really unfortunate design of llvm-link and related libraries is that
they operate one module at a time.
This means they can copy a GV to the destination module that should not
be there in the final result because a later bitcode file takes
precedence.
We already handled cases like a strong GV replacing a weak for example.
One case that is not currently handled is a comdat replacing another.
This doesn't happen in ELF, but with COFF largest selection kind it is
possible.
In "llvm-link a.ll b.ll" if the selected comdat was from a.ll,
everything will work and we will not copy the comdat from b.ll.
But if we run "llvm-link b.ll a.ll", we fail to delete the already
copied comdat from b.ll. This patch fixes that.
llvm-svn: 264103
Summary:
ThinLTO is relying on linkInModule to import selected function.
However a lot of "magic" was hidden in linkInModule and the IRMover,
who would rename and promote global variables on the fly.
This is moving to an approach where the steps are decoupled and the
client is reponsible to specify the list of globals to import.
As a consequence some test are changed because they were relying on
the previous behavior which was importing the definition of *every*
single global without control on the client side.
Now the burden is on the client to decide if a global has to be imported
or not.

Due to the new in-place ThinLTO symbol handling support added in
r257174, we now invoke renameModuleForThinLTO on the current
module from within the FunctionImport pass.
Additionally, renameModuleForThinLTO no longer needs to return the
Module as it is performing the renaming in place on the one provided.
This commit will be immediately preceeded by a companion clang patch to
remove its invocation of renameModuleForThinLTO.
llvm-svn: 257181
Summary:
Move ThinLTO global value processing functions out of ModuleLinker and
into a new ThinLTOGlobalProcessor class, which performs any necessary
linkage and naming changes on the given module in place.
As a result, renameModuleForThinLTO no longer needs to create a new
Module when performing any necessary local to global promotion on a
module that we are possibly exporting from during a ThinLTO backend
compilation.
During function importing the ThinLTO processing is still invoked from
the ModuleLinker (via the new class), as it needs to perform renaming and
linkage changes on the source module, e.g. in order to get the correct
renaming during local to global promotion.

Summary:
Second patch split out from http://reviews.llvm.org/D14752.
Maps metadata as a post-pass from each module when importing complete,
suturing up final metadata to the temporary metadata left on the
imported instructions.
This entails saving the mapping from bitcode value id to temporary
metadata in the importing pass, and from bitcode value id to final
metadata during the metadata linking postpass.
Depends on D14825.

This patch converts code that has access to a LLVMContext to not take a
diagnostic handler.
This has a few advantages
* It is easier to use a consistent diagnostic handler in a single program.
* Less clutter since we are not passing a handler around.
It does make it a bit awkward to implement some C APIs that return a
diagnostic string. I will propose new versions of these APIs and
deprecate the current ones.

A linker normally has two stages: symbol resolution and "moving stuff".
In lib/Linker there is the complication of lazy linking some globals,
but it was still far more mixed than it needed to.
This splits the linker into a lower level IRMover and the linker proper.
The IRMover just takes a list of globals to move and a callback that
lets the user control what is lazy linked.
The main motivation is that now tools/gold (and soon lld) can use their
own symbol resolution to instruct IRMover what to do.
llvm-svn: 255254
Now instead of changing it to the new format and then linking, it just
handles the old format while copying it over.
The main differences are:
* There is no rauw in the source module.
* An old format input is always upgraded.
The first item helps with having a sane API that passes in a GV list to
the linker.
The second one is a small step in deprecating the old format.
