Summary:
That unless the user requested an output object (--lto-obj-path), the an
unused empty combined module is not emitted.
This changed is helpful for some target (ex. RISCV-V) which encoded the
ABI info in IR module flags (target-abi). Empty unused module has no ABI
info so the linker would get the linking error during merging
incompatible ABIs.

dso_local leads to direct access even if the definition is not within this compilation unit (it is
still in the same linkage unit). On ELF, such a relocation (e.g. R_X86_64_PC32) referencing a
STB_GLOBAL STV_DEFAULT object can cause a linker error in a -shared link.
If the linkage is changed to available_externally, the dso_local flag should be dropped, so that no
direct access will be generated.
The current behavior is benign, because -fpic does not assume dso_local
(clang/lib/CodeGen/CodeGenModule.cpp:shouldAssumeDSOLocal).
If we do that for -fno-semantic-interposition (D73865), there will be an

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).

The goal of this patch is to maximize CPU utilization on multi-socket or high core count systems, so that parallel computations such as LLD/ThinLTO can use all hardware threads in the system. Before this patch, on Windows, a maximum of 64 hardware threads could be used at most, in some cases dispatched only on one CPU socket.
== Background ==
Windows doesn't have a flat cpu_set_t like Linux. Instead, it projects hardware CPUs (or NUMA nodes) to applications through a concept of "processor groups". A "processor" is the smallest unit of execution on a CPU, that is, an hyper-thread if SMT is active; a core otherwise. There's a limit of 32-bit processors on older 32-bit versions of Windows, which later was raised to 64-processors with 64-bit versions of Windows. This limit comes from the affinity mask, which historically is represented by the sizeof(void*). Consequently, the concept of "processor groups" was introduced for dealing with systems with more than 64 hyper-threads.
By default, the Windows OS assigns only one "processor group" to each starting application, in a round-robin manner. If the application wants to use more processors, it needs to programmatically enable it, by assigning threads to other "processor groups". This also means that affinity cannot cross "processor group" boundaries; one can only specify a "preferred" group on start-up, but the application is free to allocate more groups if it wants to.
This creates a peculiar situation, where newer CPUs like the AMD EPYC 7702P (64-cores, 128-hyperthreads) are projected by the OS as two (2) "processor groups". This means that by default, an application can only use half of the cores. This situation could only get worse in the years to come, as dies with more cores will appear on the market.
== The problem ==
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() API was introduced so that only *one hardware thread per core* was used. Once that API returns, that original intention is lost, only the number of threads is retained. Consider a situation, on Windows, where the system has 2 CPU sockets, 18 cores each, each core having 2 hyper-threads, for a total of 72 hyper-threads. Both heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() and hardware_concurrency() currently return 36, because on Windows they are simply wrappers over std:🧵:hardware_concurrency() -- which can only return processors from the current "processor group".
== The changes in this patch ==
To solve this situation, we capture (and retain) the initial intention until the point of usage, through a new ThreadPoolStrategy class. The number of threads to use is deferred as late as possible, until the moment where the std::threads are created (ThreadPool in the case of ThinLTO).
When using hardware_concurrency(), setting ThreadCount to 0 now means to use all the possible hardware CPU (SMT) threads. Providing a ThreadCount above to the maximum number of threads will have no effect, the maximum will be used instead.
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() is similar to hardware_concurrency(), except that only one thread per hardware *core* will be used.
When LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS is OFF, the threading APIs will always return 1, to ensure any caller loops will be exercised at least once.

In addition to the module pass, this patch introduces a CGSCC pass that
runs the Attributor on a strongly connected component of the call graph
(both old and new PM). The Attributor was always design to be used on a
subset of functions which makes this patch mostly mechanical.
The one change is that we give up `norecurse` deduction in the module
pass in favor of doing it during the CGSCC pass. This makes the
interfaces simpler but can be revisited if needed.

Summary:
Third part in series to support Safe Whole Program Devirtualization
Enablement, see RFC here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137543.html
This patch adds type test metadata under -fwhole-program-vtables,
even for classes without hidden visibility. It then changes WPD to skip
devirtualization for a virtual function call when any of the compatible
vtables has public vcall visibility.
Additionally, internal LLVM options as well as lld and gold-plugin
options are added which enable upgrading all public vcall visibility
to linkage unit (hidden) visibility during LTO. This enables the more
aggressive WPD to kick in based on LTO time knowledge of the visibility
guarantees.
Support was added to all flavors of LTO WPD (regular, hybrid and
index-only), and to both the new and old LTO APIs.
Unfortunately it was not simple to split the first and second parts of
this part of the change (the unconditional emission of type tests and
the upgrading of the vcall visiblity) as I needed a way to upgrade the
public visibility on legacy WPD llvm assembly tests that don't include
linkage unit vcall visibility specifiers, to avoid a lot of test churn.
I also added a mechanism to LowerTypeTests that allows dropping type
test assume sequences we now aggressively insert when we invoke
distributed ThinLTO backends with null indexes, which is used in testing
mode, and which doesn't invoke the normal ThinLTO backend pipeline.
Depends on D71907 and D71911.

Summary:
The old pass manager separated speed optimization and size optimization
levels into two unsigned values. Coallescing both in an enum in the new
pass manager may lead to unintentional casts and comparisons.
In particular, taking a look at how the loop unroll passes were constructed
previously, the Os/Oz are now (==new pass manager) treated just like O3,
likely unintentionally.
This change disallows raw comparisons between optimization levels, to
avoid such unintended effects. As an effect, the O{s|z} behavior changes
for loop unrolling and loop unroll and jam, matching O2 rather than O3.
The change also parameterizes the threshold values used for loop
unrolling, primarily to aid testing.

Summary:
This adds support for embedding bitcode in a binary during LTO. The libLTO gains supports the `-lto-embed-bitcode` flag. The option allows users of the LTO library to embed a bitcode section. For example, LLD can pass the option via `ld.lld -mllvm=-lto-embed-bitcode`.
This feature allows doing something comparable to `clang -c -fembed-bitcode`, but on the (LTO) linker level. Having bitcode alongside native code has many use-cases. To give an example, the MacOS linker can create a `-bitcode_bundle` section containing bitcode. Also, having this feature built into LLVM is an alternative to 3rd party tools such as [[ https://github.com/travitch/whole-program-llvm | wllvm ]] or [[ https://github.com/SRI-CSL/gllvm | gllvm ]]. As with these tools, this feature simplifies creating "whole-program" llvm bitcode files, but in contrast to wllvm/gllvm it does not rely on a specific llvm frontend/driver.

Summary:
Most libraries are defined in the lib/ directory but there are also a
few libraries defined in tools/ e.g. libLLVM, libLTO. I'm defining
"Component Libraries" as libraries defined in lib/ that may be included in
libLLVM.so. Explicitly marking the libraries in lib/ as component
libraries allows us to remove some fragile checks that attempt to
differentiate between lib/ libraries and tools/ libraires:
1. In tools/llvm-shlib, because
llvm_map_components_to_libnames(LIB_NAMES "all") returned a list of
all libraries defined in the whole project, there was custom code
needed to filter out libraries defined in tools/, none of which should
be included in libLLVM.so. This code assumed that any library
defined as static was from lib/ and everything else should be
excluded.
With this change, llvm_map_components_to_libnames(LIB_NAMES, "all")
only returns libraries that have been added to the LLVM_COMPONENT_LIBS
global cmake property, so this custom filtering logic can be removed.
Doing this also fixes the build with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
and LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON.
2. There was some code in llvm_add_library that assumed that
libraries defined in lib/ would not have LLVM_LINK_COMPONENTS or
ARG_LINK_COMPONENTS set. This is only true because libraries
defined lib lib/ use LLVMBuild.txt and don't set these values.
This code has been fixed now to check if the library has been
explicitly marked as a component library, which should now make it
easier to remove LLVMBuild at some point in the future.
I have tested this patch on Windows, MacOS and Linux with release builds
and the following combinations of CMake options:

Remove dead virtual functions from vtables with
replaceNonMetadataUsesWith, so that CGProfile metadata gets cleaned up
correctly.
Original commit message:
Currently, it is hard for the compiler to remove unused C++ virtual
functions, because they are all referenced from vtables, which are referenced
by constructors. This means that if the constructor is called from any live
code, then we keep every virtual function in the final link, even if there
are no call sites which can use it.
This patch allows unused virtual functions to be removed during LTO (and
regular compilation in limited circumstances) by using type metadata to match
virtual function call sites to the vtable slots they might load from. This
information can then be used in the global dead code elimination pass instead
of the references from vtables to virtual functions, to more accurately
determine which functions are reachable.
To make this transformation safe, I have changed clang's code-generation to
always load virtual function pointers using the llvm.type.checked.load
intrinsic, instead of regular load instructions. I originally tried writing
this using clang's existing code-generation, which uses the llvm.type.test
and llvm.assume intrinsics after doing a normal load. However, it is possible
for optimisations to obscure the relationship between the GEP, load and
llvm.type.test, causing GlobalDCE to fail to find virtual function call
sites.
The existing linkage and visibility types don't accurately describe the scope
in which a virtual call could be made which uses a given vtable. This is
wider than the visibility of the type itself, because a virtual function call
could be made using a more-visible base class. I've added a new
!vcall_visibility metadata type to represent this, described in
TypeMetadata.rst. The internalization pass and libLTO have been updated to
change this metadata when linking is performed.
This doesn't currently work with ThinLTO, because it needs to see every call
to llvm.type.checked.load in the linkage unit. It might be possible to
extend this optimisation to be able to use the ThinLTO summary, as was done
for devirtualization, but until then that combination is rejected in the
clang driver.
To test this, I've written a fuzzer which generates random C++ programs with
complex class inheritance graphs, and virtual functions called through object
and function pointers of different types. The programs are spread across
multiple translation units and DSOs to test the different visibility
restrictions.
I've also tried doing bootstrap builds of LLVM to test this. This isn't
ideal, because only classes in anonymous namespaces can be optimised with
-fvisibility=default, and some parts of LLVM (plugins and bugpoint) do not
work correctly with -fvisibility=hidden. However, there are only 12 test
failures when building with -fvisibility=hidden (and an unmodified compiler),
and this change does not cause any new failures for either value of
-fvisibility.
On the 7 C++ sub-benchmarks of SPEC2006, this gives a geomean code-size
reduction of ~6%, over a baseline compiled with "-O2 -flto
-fvisibility=hidden -fwhole-program-vtables". The best cases are reductions
of ~14% in 450.soplex and 483.xalancbmk, and there are no code size
increases.
I've also run this on a set of 8 mbed-os examples compiled for Armv7M, which
show a geomean size reduction of ~3%, again with no size increases.
I had hoped that this would have no effect on performance, which would allow
it to awlays be enabled (when using -fwhole-program-vtables). However, the
changes in clang to use the llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic are causing ~1%
performance regression in the C++ parts of SPEC2006. It should be possible to
recover some of this perf loss by teaching optimisations about the
llvm.type.checked.load intrinsic, which would make it worth turning this on
by default (though it's still dependent on -fwhole-program-vtables).
