This is similar to r322317, but for visibility. It is not as neat
because we have to special case extern_weak.
The idea is the same as the previous change, make the transition to
explicit dso_local easier for the frontends. With this they only have
to add dso_local to symbols where we need some external information to
decide if it is dso_local (like it being part of an ELF executable).
llvm-svn: 322806
While updating clang tests for having clang set dso_local I noticed
that:
- There are *a lot* of tests to update.
- Many of the updates are redundant.
They are redundant because a GV is "obviously dso_local". This patch
starts formalizing that a bit by requiring that internal and private
GVs be dso_local too. Since they all are, we don't have to print
dso_local to the textual representation, making it a bit more compact
and easier to read.

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.

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.

This linkage is *not* intended to express that a declaration refers
to a weak symbol, but that the symbol might not be present at link
time. I don't believe it was the intent.

Summary:
Let keep llvm-as "dumb": it converts textual IR to bitcode. This
commit removes the dependency from llvm-as to libLLVMAnalysis.
We'll add back summary in llvm-as if we get to a textual
representation for it at some point. In the meantime, opt seems
like a better place for that.

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.

(Resubmitting after fixing missing file issue)
With the changes in r263275, there are now more than just functions in
the summary. Completed the renaming of data structures (started in
r263275) to reflect the wider scope. In particular, changed the
FunctionIndex* data structures to ModuleIndex*, and renamed related
variables and comments. Also renamed the files to reflect the changes.
A companion clang patch will immediately succeed this patch to reflect
this renaming.

This replaces DoNotLinkFromSource with ValuesToLink. It also moves the
computation of ValuesToLink earlier.
It is a bit simpler and an important step in slitting the linker into an
ir mover and a linker proper.
The test change is because we now avoid creating dead declarations.
llvm-svn: 254559
Having to import an alias as declaration is not thinlto specific.
The test difference are because when we already have a decl and we are
not importing it, we just leave the decl alone.
llvm-svn: 254556
They are as much trouble as aliases to declarations. They are requiring
the code generator to define a symbol with the same value as another
symbol, but the second symbol is undefined.
If representing this is important for some optimization, we could add
support for available_externally aliases. They would be *required* to
point to a declaration (or available_externally definition).
llvm-svn: 254170
Summary:
Several fixes to the handling of bitcode files without function summary
sections so that they are skipped during ThinLTO processing in llvm-lto
and the gold plugin when appropriate instead of aborting.
1 Don't assert when trying to add a FunctionInfo that doesn't have
a summary attached.
2 Skip FunctionInfo structures that don't have attached function summary
sections when trying to create the combined function summary.
3 In both llvm-lto and gold-plugin, check whether a bitcode file has
a function summary section before trying to parse the index, and skip
the bitcode file if it does not.
4 Fix hasFunctionSummaryInMemBuffer in BitcodeReader, which had a bug
where we returned to early while looking for the summary section.
Also added llvm-lto and gold-plugin based tests for cases where we
don't have function summaries in the bitcode file. I verified that
either the first couple fixes described above are enough to avoid the
crashes, or fixes 1,3,4. But have combined them all here for added
robustness.

Update the ThinLTO function importing test to use DAG forms of checks so
that it is more tolerant of changes to relative ordering between
imported decls/defs. This reduces the number of changes required by the
comdat importing patch I am sending for review shortly.

Ensure WeakAny variables are imported as ExternalWeak declarations. To
handle WeakAny more consistently and fix this issue:
1) Update helper doImportAsDefinition to properly flag WeakAny variables
and aliases as not importing defintions.
Update callers of doImportAsDefinition to remove now redundant checks for
WeakAny aliases, or ignore aliases, as appropriate.
2) Add any !doImportAsDefinition GVs to DoNotLinkFromSource set during
linking of the GV prototype, where we usually add GVs to the
DoNotLinkFromSource set for other reasons.
Remove now unnecessary adding of WeakAny aliases to
DoNotLinkFromSource set from copyGlobalAliasProto.
Remove now unnecessary guard against linking non-imported function
bodies from ModuleLinker::run.

When converting an alias to a non-alias when the aliasee is not
imported, ensure that the linkage type is set to external so that it is
a valid linkage type. Added a test case that exposed this issue.

This reverts commit r251837, due to a number of bot failures of the form:
/home/grosser/buildslave/perf-x86_64-penryn-O3-polly-fast/llvm.obj/tools/llvm-link/Release+Asserts/llvm-link.o:llvm-link.cpp:function
loadIndex(llvm::LLVMContext&, llvm::Module const*): error: undefined

reference to 'llvm::object::FunctionIndexObjectFile::takeIndex()'
I'm not sure why these are happening - I added Object to the requred
libraries in tools/llvm-link/LLVMBuild.txt and the LLVM_LINK_COMPONENTS
in tools/llvm-link/CMakeLists.txt. Confirmed for my build that these
symbols come out of libLLVMObject.a. What am I missing?

Summary:
Support for necessary linkage changes and symbol renaming during
ThinLTO function importing.
Also includes llvm-link support for manually importing functions
and associated llvm-link based tests.
Note that this does not include support for intelligently importing
metadata, which is currently imported duplicate times. That support will
be in the follow-on patch, and currently is ignored by the tests.
