Now that we have a way to mark GlobalValues as local we can use the symbol
resolutions that the linker plugin provides as part of lto/thinlto link
step to refine the compilers view on what symbols will end up being local.

Summary:
Until a more advanced version of importing can be implemented for
aliases (one that imports an alias as an available_externally definition
of the aliasee), skip the narrow subset of cases that was possible but
came at a cost: aliases of linkonce_odr functions could be imported
because the linkonce_odr function could be safely duplicated from the
source module. This came/comes at the cost of not being able to 'home'
imported linkonce functions (they had to be emitted linkonce_odr in all
the destination modules (even if they weren't used by an alias) rather
than as available_externally - causing extra object size).
Tangentially, this also was the only reason ThinLTO would emit multiple
CUs in to the resulting DWARF - which happens to be a problem for
Fission (there's a fix for this in GDB but not released yet, etc).
(actually it's not the only reason - but I'm sending a patch to fix the
other reason shortly)
There's no reason to believe this particularly narrow alias importing
was especially/meaningfully important, only that it was /possible/ to
implement in this way. When a more general solution is done, it should
still satisfy the DWARF concerns above, since the import will still be
available_externally, and thus not create extra CUs.
Since now all aliases are treated the same, I removed/simplified some
test cases since they were testing corner cases where there are no
longer any corners.

I did this a long time ago with a janky python script, but now
clang-format has built-in support for this. I fed clang-format every
line with a #include and let it re-sort things according to the precise
LLVM rules for include ordering baked into clang-format these days.
I've reverted a number of files where the results of sorting includes
isn't healthy. Either places where we have legacy code relying on
particular include ordering (where possible, I'll fix these separately)
or where we have particular formatting around #include lines that
I didn't want to disturb in this patch.
This patch is *entirely* mechanical. If you get merge conflicts or
anything, just ignore the changes in this patch and run clang-format
over your #include lines in the files.
Sorry for any noise here, but it is important to keep these things
stable. I was seeing an increasing number of patches with irrelevant
re-ordering of #include lines because clang-format was used. This patch
at least isolates that churn, makes it easy to skip when resolving
conflicts, and gets us to a clean baseline (again).

The importer was previously using ModuleLinker in a sort of "IRMover mode". Use
IRMover directly instead in order to remove a level of indirection.
I will remove all importing support from ModuleLinker in a separate

Summary:
r285871 introduced an assert that was overly aggressive in the case
of a same-named local in different same-named files (in different
directories), where the source name and therefore the GUID ended up
the same because the files were compiled in their own directory without
any leading path. Change the handling in the promotion logic to get
the summary for the version in that module.
This also exposed an issue where we are not always importing the
right copy, which is a performance not correctness issue (because
the renaming is based on the module hash which must be different,
see the bug report for details). I will fix that as a follow-on.
Fixes PR31561.

Summary:
This adds a new summary flag NotEligibleToImport that subsumes
several existing flags (NoRename, HasInlineAsmMaybeReferencingInternal
and IsNotViableToInline). It also subsumes the checking of references
on the summary that was being done during the thin link by
eligibleForImport() for each candidate. It is much more efficient to
do that checking once during the per-module summary build and record
it in the summary.

Summary:
We were doing an optimization in the ThinLTO backends of importing
constant unnamed_addr globals unconditionally as a local copy (regardless
of whether the thin link decided to import them). This should be done in
the thin link instead, so that resulting exported references are marked
and promoted appropriately, but will need a summary enhancement to mark
these variables as constant unnamed_addr.
The function import logic during the thin link was trying to handle
this proactively, by conservatively marking all values referenced in
the initializer lists of exported global variables as also exported.
However, this only handled values referenced directly from the
initializer list of an exported global variable. If the value is itself
a constant unnamed_addr variable, we could end up exporting its
references as well. This caused multiple issues. The first is that the
transitively exported references weren't promoted. Secondly, some could
not be promoted/renamed (e.g. they had a section or other constraint).
recursively, instead of just adding the first level of initializer list
references to the ExportList directly.
Remove this optimization and the associated handling in the function
import backend. SPEC measurements indicate we weren't getting much
from it in any case.
Fixes PR31052.

Summary:
We have always speculatively promoted all renamable local values
(except const non-address taken variables) for both the exporting
and importing module. We would then internalize them back based on
the ThinLink results if they weren't actually exported. This is
inefficient, and results in unnecessary renames. It also meant we
had to check the non-renamability of a value in the summary, which
was already checked during function importing analysis in the ThinLink.
Made renameModuleForThinLTO (which does the promotion/renaming) instead
use the index when exporting, to avoid unnecessary renames/promotions.
For importing modules, we can simply promoted all values as any local
we import by definition is exported and needs promotion.
This required changes to the method used by the FunctionImport pass
(only invoked from 'opt' for testing) and when invoked from llvm-link,
since neither does a ThinLink. We simply conservatively mark all locals
in the index as promoted, which preserves the current aggressive
promotion behavior.
I also needed to change an llvm-lto based test where we had previously
been aggressively promoting values that weren't importable (aliasees),
but now will not promote.

Summary:
The recent change I made to consult the summary when deciding whether to
rename (to handle inline asm) in r285513 broke the distributed build
case. In a distributed backend we will only have a portion of the
combined index, specifically for imported modules we only have the
summaries for any imported definitions. When renaming on import we were
asserting because no summary entry was found for a local reference being
linked in (def wasn't imported).
We only need to consult the summary for a renaming decision for the
exporting module. For imports, we would have prevented importing any
references to NoRename values already.

Summary:
Instead of using the workaround of suppressing the entire index for
modules that call inline asm that may reference locals, use the
NoRename flag on the summary for any locals in the llvm.used set, and
add a reference edge from any functions containing inline asm.
This avoids issues from having no summaries despite the module defining
global values, which was preventing more aggressive index-based
optimization. It will be followed by a subsequent patch to make a
similar fix for local references in module level asm (to fix 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.

Summary:
Refine the workaround from r266877 that attempts to prevent
renaming of locals in inline assembly, so that in addition to looking
for a llvm.used local value, that there is at least one inline assembly
call in the module. Otherwise, debug functions added to the llvm.used
can block importing/exporting unnecessarily.

Summary:
This patch prevents importing from (and therefore exporting from) any
module with a "llvm.used" local value. Local values need to be promoted
and renamed when importing, and their presense on the llvm.used variable
indicates that there are opaque uses that won't see the rename. One such
example is a use in inline assembly.

As part of this, move collectUsedGlobalVariables out of Transforms/Utils
and into IR/Module so that it can be used more widely. There are several
other places in LLVM that used copies of this code that can be cleaned
up as a follow on NFC patch.

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.
