The plugin API doesn't have the notion of linkonce, only weak. It is up to the
plugin to figure out if a symbol used only for the symbol table can be dropped.
In particular, it has to avoid dropping a linkonce_odr selected by gold if there
is also a weak_odr.

The call to copyAttributesFrom will copy the visibility, which might assert
if it were to produce something invalid like "internal hidden". We avoid it
by first creating the replacement with the original linkage and then setting
it to internal affter the call to copyAttributesFrom.
llvm-svn: 219184
When creating an internal function replacement for use in an alias we were
not remapping the argument uses in the instructions to point to the new
arguments.

This format is simply a regular object file with the bitcode stored in a
section named ".llvmbc", plus any number of other (non-allocated) sections.
One immediate use case for this is to accommodate compilation processes
which expect the object file to contain metadata in non-allocated sections,
such as the ".go_export" section used by some Go compilers [1], although I
imagine that in the future we could consider compiling parts of the module
(such as large non-inlinable functions) directly into the object file to
improve LTO efficiency.

With this a DataLayoutPass can be reused for multiple modules.
Once we have doInitialization/doFinalization, it doesn't seem necessary to pass
a Module to the constructor.
Overall this change seems in line with the idea of making DataLayout a required
part of Module. With it the only way of having a DataLayout used is to add it
to the Module.

This is the plugin version of pr20882.
This handles the case of every common symbol being in the IR. We will need some
support from gold to handle the case where some symbols are in ELF and some in
the IR.

I took a guess at the changes to the gold plugin, because that doesn't
seem to build by default for me. Not sure what dependencies I might be
missing for that.

This forces callers to use std::move when calling it. It is somewhat odd to have
code with std::move that doesn't always move, but it is also odd to have code
without std::move that sometimes moves.
llvm-svn: 217049
Take a StringRef instead of a "const char *".
Take a "std::error_code &" instead of a "std::string &" for error.
A create static method would be even better, but this patch is already a bit too
big.
llvm-svn: 216393
There are two parts to this. First, the plugin needs to tell gold the comdat by
setting comdat_key.
What gets things a bit more complicated is that gold only seems
symbols. In particular, if A is an alias to B, it only sees the symbols
A and B. It can then ask us to keep symbol A but drop symbol B. What
we have to do instead is to create an internal version of B and make A
an alias to that.
At some point some of this logic should be moved to lib/Linker so that
we don't map a Constant to an internal version just to have lib/Linker
map that again to the destination module.
The reason for implementing this in tools/gold for now is simplicity.
With it in place it should be possible to update clang to use comdats
for constructors and destructors on ELF without breaking the LTO
bootstrap. Once that is done I intend to come back and improve the
interface lib/Linker exposes.
llvm-svn: 216302
There is a fundamental difference between how the gold API and lib/LTO view
the LTO process.
The gold API talks about a particular symbol in a particular file. The lib/LTO
API talks about a symbol in the merged module.
The merged module is then defined in terms of the IR semantics. In particular,
a linkonce_odr GV is only copied if it is used, since it is valid to drop
unused linkonce_odr GVs.
In the testcase in pr19901 both properties collide. What happens is that gold
asks us to keep a particular linkonce_odr symbol, but the IR linker doesn't
copy it to the merged module and we never have a chance to ask lib/LTO to keep
it.
This patch fixes it by having a more direct implementation of the gold API. If
it asks us to keep a symbol, we change the linkage so it is not linkonce. If it
says we can drop a symbol, we do so. All of this before we even send the module
to lib/Linker.
Since now we don't have to produce LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_DEFAULT_CAN_BE_HIDDEN,
during symbol resolution we can use a temporary LLVMContext and do lazy
module loading. This allows us to keep the minimum possible amount of
allocated memory around. This should also allow as much parallelism as
we want, since there is no shared context.

On at least my machine, ar does not register an all symbols read hook (which
previously triggered target initialization), but it does register a claim
files hook, which depends on the targets being initialized.

This fixes a regression that made clang -flto -Wl,--plugin-opt=-mattr=+aes not
pass the "+aes" option to the LTOCodeGenerator attributes.

Back in r128440 tools/LTO started exporting the disassembler interface. It
was never clear why, but whatever the reason I am pretty sure it doesn't hold
for tools/gold.
llvm-svn: 211325
This fixes the processing of --plugin-opt=-jump-table-type=arity.
Nice properties:
* We call InitTargetOptionsFromCodeGenFlags once.
* We call parseCodeGenDebugOptions once.
* It works :-)
llvm-svn: 211322
The tools/lto API is not the best choice for implementing a gold plugin. Among
other issues:
* It is an stable ABI. Old errors stay and we have to be really careful
before adding new features.
* It has to support two fairly different linkers: gold and ld64.
* We end up with a plugin that depends on a shared lib, something quiet
unusual in LLVM land.
* It hides LLVM. For some features in the gold plugin it would be really
nice to be able to just get a Module or a GlobalValue.
This change is intended to be a very direct translation from the C API. It
will just enable other fixes and cleanups.
Tested with a LTO bootstrap on linux.

dynamic-no-pic is just another output type. If gnu ld gets support for MachO,
it should also add something like LDPO_DYN_NO_PIC to the plugin interface.

This compiles with no changes to clang/lld/lldb with MSVC and includes
overloads to various functions which are used by those projects and llvm
which have OwningPtr's as parameters. This should allow out of tree
projects some time to move. There are also no changes to libs/Target,
which should help out of tree targets have time to move, if necessary.
llvm-svn: 203083
There are two ways one could implement hiding of linkonce_odr symbols in LTO:
* LLVM tells the linker which symbols can be hidden if not used from native
files.
* The linker tells LLVM which symbols are not used from other object files,
but will be put in the dso symbol table if present.
GOLD's API is the second option. It was implemented almost 1:1 in llvm by
passing the list down to internalize.
LLVM already had partial support for the first option. It is also very similar
to how ld64 handles hiding these symbols when *not* doing LTO.
This patch then
* removes the APIs for the DSO list.
* marks LTO_SYMBOL_SCOPE_DEFAULT_CAN_BE_HIDDEN all linkonce_odr unnamed_addr
global values and other linkonce_odr whose address is not used.
* makes the gold plugin responsible for handling the API mismatch.
llvm-svn: 193800
Generalize the API so we can distinguish symbols that are needed just for a DSO
symbol table from those that are used from some native .o.
The symbols that are only wanted for the dso symbol table can be dropped if
llvm can prove every other dso has a copy (linkonce_odr) and the address is not
important (unnamed_addr).

Thank Eric for fixing a compile-warning.

1. Add some helper classes for partitions. They are designed in a
way such that the top-level LTO driver will not see much difference
with or without partitioning.
2. Introduce work-dir. Now all intermediate files generated during
LTO phases will be saved under work-dir. User can specify the workdir
via -lto-workdir=/path/to/dir. By default the work-dir will be
erased before linker exit. To keep the workdir, do -lto-keep, or -lto-keep=1.
TODO: Erase the workdir, if the linker exit prematurely.
We are currently not able to remove directory on signal. The support
routines simply ignore directory.
3. Add one new API lto_codegen_get_files_need_remove().
Linker and LTO plugin will communicate via this API about which files
(including directories) need to removed before linker exit.
llvm-svn: 188188
The main observation is that we never need both the filesize and the map size.
When mapping a slice of a file, it doesn't make sense to request a null
terminator and that would be the only case where the filesize would be used.
There are other cleanups that should be done in this area:
* A client should not have to pass the size (even an explicit -1) to say if
it wants a null terminator or not, so we should probably swap the argument
order.
* The default should be to not require a null terminator. Very few clients
require this, but many end up asking for it just because it is the default.
llvm-svn: 186984
The gold plugin was passing the desired map size as the file size. This was
working for two reasons:
* Recent version of gold provide the get_view callback, so this code was not
used.
* In older versions, getOpenFile was called, but the file size is never used
if we don't require null terminated buffers and map size defaults to the
file size.
Thanks to Eli Bendersky for noticing this.
I will try to make this api a bit less error prone.

I will check if this was a clang or gcc issue.

Again, tools are trickier to pick the main module header for than
library source files. I've started to follow the pattern of using
LLVMContext.h when it is included as a stub for program source files.

to hack around this in the gold plugin by deleting a module if no symbol was
needed. Unfortunately, the hack is wrong in the case of o module having no
visible symbols but still having side effects via static constructors.
The bug will have to be fixed in libLTO itself.

gold to work. Since the enum value LDPO_PIE has just been added to plugin-api.h,
use a numeric constant for now so that we don't require an unreleased
version of gold to build.

gold plugin is built with Large File Support (sizeof(off_t) == 64 on i686)
and the rest of LLVM is built w/o Large File Support
(sizeof(off_t) == 32 on i686) which corrupts the stack.

having a library both as bitcode and native code. We want to use the
bitcode first, but if codegen produces new undefined references we have to use
the native code to satisfy those references.
Gold has no notion of bitcode and native search directories, so instead it has
an API where the plugin can instruct it to look for the libraries it is passing
to it. This patch uses that API.
llvm-svn: 106674
ask the linker to take another look into some library or object. The case when
one might want to do this is when codegen introduces a new undefined reference.
The canonical example is libgcc.
