First, do not reserve numSections in the Chunks array. In cases where
there are many non-prevailing sections, this will overallocate memory
which will not be used.
Second, free the memory for sparseChunks after initializeSymbols. After
that, it is never used.
This saves 50MB of 627MB for my use case without affecting performance.
The inlinees section contains references to the file checksum table. The
file checksum table in the PDB must have the same layout as the file
checksum table in the object file, so all the existing file id
references should stay valid.
Previously, we would do this:
for all inlined functions:
- lookup filename from checksum and string table
- make that filename absolute
- look up the new file id for that filename up in the new checksum
table
This lead to pdbMakeAbsolute and remove_dots ending up in the hot path.
We should only need to absolutify the source path once, not once every
time we process an inline function from that source file.
This speeds up linking chrome PGO stage 1 net_unittests.exe from 9.203s
to 8.500s (-7.6%). Looking just at time to process symbol records, it
goes from ~2000ms to ~1300ms, which is consistent with the overall
speedup of about 700ms. This will be less noticeable in debug builds,
which have fewer inlined functions records.
Summary:
This is a pre-requisite to parallelizing PDB symbol and type merging.
Currently this timer usage would not be thread safe.

loaded before object files which use them.
This is a rebase of the unapplied remaining changes in

Allow disabling either the full auto import feature, or just
forbidding the cases that require runtime fixups.
As long as all auto imported variables are referenced from separate
.refptr$<name> sections, we can alias them on top of the IAT entries
and don't actually need any runtime fixups via pseudo relocations.
LLVM generates references to variables in .refptr stubs, if it
isn't known that the variable for sure is defined in the same object
module. Runtime pseudo relocs are needed if the addresses of auto
imported variables are used in constant initializers though.
Fixing up runtime pseudo relocations requires the use of
VirtualProtect (which is disallowed in WinStore/UWP apps) or
VirtualProtectFromApp. To allow any risk of ambiguity, allow
rejecting cases that would require this at the linker stage.
This adds support for the --disable-runtime-pseudo-reloc and
--disable-auto-import options in the MinGW driver (matching GNU ld.bfd)
with corresponding lld private options in the COFF driver.

Essentially takes the lld/Common/Threads.h wrappers and moves them to
the llvm/Support/Paralle.h algorithm header.
The changes are:
- Remove policy parameter, since all clients use `par`.
- Rename the methods to `parallelSort` etc to match LLVM style, since
they are no longer C++17 pstl compatible.
- Move algorithms from llvm::parallel:: to llvm::, since they have
"parallel" in the name and are no longer overloads of the regular
algorithms.
- Add range overloads
- Use the sequential algorithm directly when 1 thread is requested
(skips task grouping)
- Fix the index type of parallelForEachN to size_t. Nobody in LLVM was
using any other parameter, and it made overload resolution hard for
for_each_n(par, 0, foo.size(), ...) because 0 is int, not size_t.
Remove Threads.h and update LLD for that.
This is a prerequisite for parallel public symbol processing in the PDB
library, which is in LLVM.

Heap profiling with ETW shows that LLD performs 4,053,721 heap
allocations over its lifetime, and ~800,000 of them come from
assocEquals. These vectors are created just to do a comparison, so fuse
the comparison into the loop and avoid the allocation.
ICF is overall a small portion of the time spent linking, and I did not

This particular overload allocates memory, and we do this for every
S_[GL]PROC32_ID record. Instead, hardcode the offset of the typeindex
that we are looking for in the LF_[MEM]FUNC_ID record. We already
assumed that looking up the item index already found a record of this
kind.
Otherwise an ArgumentParser is constructed for every directive section,
and that involves copying the entire table of options into a vector.
There is no need for this, just have one option table.
This generalizes the main Windows command line tokenizer to be able to
produce StringRef substrings as well as freshly copied C strings. The
implementation is still shared with the normal tokenizer, which is
important, because we have unit tests for that.
.drective sections can be very long. They can potentially list up to
every symbol in the object file by name. It is worth avoiding these
string copies.
This saves a lot of memory when linking chrome.dll with PGO

This speeds up linking chrome.dll with PGO instrumentation by 13%
(154271ms -> 134033ms).
LLVM's Option library is very slow. In particular, it allocates at least
one large-ish heap object (Arg) for every argument. When PGO
instrumentation is enabled, all the __profd_* symbols are added to the
@llvm.used list, which compiles down to these /INCLUDE: directives. This
means we have O(#symbols) directives to parse in the section, so we end
up allocating an Arg for every function symbol in the object file. This
is unnecessary.
To address the issue and speed up the link, extend the fast path that we
already have for /EXPORT:, which has similar scaling issues.
I promise that I took a hard look at optimizing the Option library, but
its data structures are very general and would need a lot of cleanup. We
have accumulated lots of optional features (option groups, aliases,
multiple values) over the years, and these are now properties of every
parsed argument, when the vast majority of arguments do not use these
features.

Having used this for a while, I never wished there were more

each has 10 references (which I've seen in practice), and each
undefined symbol produces 2 (possibly very long) lines of output,
that's over 200 lines of error output.

Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.
One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.
When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).
When N <= number-of-hardware-threads-on-a-CPU-socket, the threads will remain on the CPU socket where the process started (only on Windows).

Summary:
I used this information to motivate splitting up the Intrinsic::ID enum
(5d986953c8) and adding a key method to
clang::Sema (586f65d31f) which saved a
fair amount of object file size.
Example output for clang.pdb:
Top 10 types responsible for the most TPI input bytes:
index total bytes count size
0x3890: 8,671,220 = 1,805 * 4,804
0xE13BE: 5,634,720 = 252 * 22,360
0x6874C: 5,181,600 = 408 * 12,700
0x2A1F: 4,520,528 = 1,574 * 2,872
0x64BFF: 4,024,020 = 469 * 8,580
0x1123: 4,012,020 = 2,157 * 1,860
0x6952: 3,753,792 = 912 * 4,116
0xC16F: 3,630,888 = 633 * 5,736
0x69DD: 3,601,160 = 985 * 3,656
0x678D: 3,577,904 = 319 * 11,216
In this case, we can see that record 0x3890 is responsible for ~8MB of
total object file size for objects in clang.
The user can then use llvm-pdbutil to find out what the record is:
$ llvm-pdbutil dump -types -type-index 0x3890
Types (TPI Stream)
============================================================
Showing 1 records.
0x3890 | LF_FIELDLIST [size = 4804]
- LF_STMEMBER [name = `WORDTYPE_MAX`, type = 0x1001, attrs = public]
- LF_MEMBER [name = `U`, Type = 0x37F0, offset = 0, attrs = private]
- LF_MEMBER [name = `BitWidth`, Type = 0x0075 (unsigned), offset = 8, attrs = private]
- LF_METHOD [name = `APInt`, # overloads = 8, overload list = 0x3805]
...
In this case, we can see that these are members of the APInt class,
which is emitted in 1805 object files.
The next largest type is ASTContext:
$ llvm-pdbutil dump -types -type-index 0xE13BE bin/clang.pdb
0xE13BE | LF_FIELDLIST [size = 22360]
- LF_BCLASS
type = 0x653EA, offset = 0, attrs = public
- LF_MEMBER [name = `Types`, Type = 0x653EB, offset = 8, attrs = private]
- LF_MEMBER [name = `ExtQualNodes`, Type = 0x653EC, offset = 24, attrs = private]
- LF_MEMBER [name = `ComplexTypes`, Type = 0x653ED, offset = 48, attrs = private]
- LF_MEMBER [name = `PointerTypes`, Type = 0x653EE, offset = 72, attrs = private]
...
ASTContext only appears 252 times, but the list of members is long, and
must be repeated everywhere it is used.
This was the output before I split Intrinsic::ID:
Top 10 types responsible for the most TPI input:
0x686C: 69,823,920 = 1,070 * 65,256
0x686D: 69,819,640 = 1,070 * 65,252
0x686E: 69,819,640 = 1,070 * 65,252
0x686B: 16,371,000 = 1,070 * 15,300
...
These records were all lists of intrinsic enums.
