Summary:
In runThinLTO we start the task numbering for ThinLTO backend
tasks depending on whether there was also a regular LTO object
(CombinedModule). However, the CombinedModule is moved at
the end of runRegularLTO, so we need to save this information and
pass it into runThinLTO. Otherwise the AddOutput callback to the client
will use the same task number for both the regular LTO object
and the first ThinLTO object, which in gold-plugin caused only
one to be end up in the output filename array and therefore passed
back to gold for the final native link.

If TBAA is on an intrinsic and it gets upgraded, it'll delete the call
instruction that we collected in a vector. Even if we were to use
WeakVH, it'll drop the TBAA and we'll hit the assert on the upgrade
path.
r263673 gave a shot to make sure the TBAA upgrade happens before
intrinsics upgrade, but failed to account for all cases.
Instead of collecting instructions in a vector, this patch makes it
just upgrade the TBAA on the fly, because metadata are always
already loaded at this point.

Previously the prevailing information was not honored, and commons
symbols could override a strong definition. This patch fixes it and
propose the following semantic for commons: the client should mark
as prevailing the commons that it expects the LTO implementation to
merge (i.e. take the maximum size and alignment).
It implies that commons are allowed to have multiple prevailing
definitions.

Summary:
It does not play well with directories (end up with a bunch of hidden
files).
Also, do not strip the 0 suffix for the first task, especially since
0 can be used by ThinLTO as well now.

This restores commit r278330, with fixes for a few bot failures:
- Fix a late change I had made to the save temps output file that I
missed due to existing files sitting on my disk
- Fix a bunch of Windows bot failures with "ambiguous call to overloaded
function" due to confusion between llvm::make_unique vs
std::make_unique (preface the new make_unique calls with "llvm::")
- Attempt to fix a modules bot failure by adding a missing include
to LTO/Config.h.
Original change:
Resolution-based LTO API.
Summary:
This introduces a resolution-based LTO API. The main advantage of this API over
existing APIs is that it allows the linker to supply a resolution for each
symbol in each object, rather than the combined object as a whole. This will
become increasingly important for use cases such as ThinLTO which require us
to process symbol resolutions in a more complicated way than just adjusting
linkage.

The linker supports a feature to force load an object from a static
archive if it defines an Objective-C category.
This API supports this feature by looking at every section in the
module to find if a category is defined in the module.

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.

This patch introduces a new option -lto-strip-invalid-debug-info, which
drops malformed debug info from the input.
The problem I'm trying to solve with this sequence of patches is that
historically we've done a really bad job at verifying debug info. We want
to be able to make the verifier stricter without having to worry about
breaking bitcode compatibility with existing producers. For example, we
don't necessarily want IR produced by an older version of clang to be
rejected by an LTO link just because of malformed debug info, and rather
provide an option to strip it. Note that merely outdated (but well-formed)
debug info would continue to be auto-upgraded in this scenario.

This is intended to be shared by the ThinLTOCodeGenerator.
Note that there is a change in the way the verifier is run, previously
it was ran as a Pass on the merged module during internalization.
While now the verifier is called explicitely on the merged module
outside of the internalize "pass pipeline".
What remains strange in the API is the fact that `DisableVerify` in
the API does not disable this initial verifier.

Summary:
This is a companion patch for http://reviews.llvm.org/D16124.
Internalized symbols increase the size of strongly-connected components in
SCC-based module splitting and thus reduce the amount of parallelism. This
patch records the original linkage of non-local symbols prior to
internalization and then restores it just before splitting/CodeGen. This is
also useful for cases where the linker requires symbols to remain external, for
instance, so they can be placed according to linker script rules.
It's currently under its own flag (-restore-globals) but should eventually
share a common flag with D16124.

inaccessibleMemOrArgMemOnly: This attribute indicates that the function may only access memory that is either not accessible by the program/IR being compiled, or is pointed to by its pointer arguments. This is a weaker form of ArgMemOnly

When building LLVM as a (potentially dynamic) library that can be linked against

We allow to explicitely set it to an empty string when configuring LLVM.
In this case, said "target independent" tests in the test suite that are using
the default triple are disabled by matching the newly available feature
"default_triple".

The verifier currently runs three times in LTO: (1) after parsing, (2)
at the beginning of the optimization pipeline, and (3) at the end of it.
The first run is important, since we're not sure where the bitcode comes
from and it's nice to validate it, but in release builds the extra runs
aren't appropriate.
This commit:
- Allows these runs to be disabled in LTOCodeGenerator.
- Adds command-line options to llvm-lto.
- Adds command-line options to libLTO.dylib, and disables the verifier
by default in release builds (based on NDEBUG).
This shaves about 3.5% off the runtime of ld64 when linking
verify-uselistorder with -flto -g.

llvm::splitCodeGen is a function that implements the core of parallel LTO
code generation. It uses llvm::SplitModule to split the module into linkable
partitions and spawning one code generation thread per partition. The function
produces multiple object files which can be linked in the usual way.
This has been threaded through to LTOCodeGenerator (and llvm-lto for testing
purposes). Separate patches will add parallel LTO support to the gold plugin
and lld.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.
