I found that propagateAttributes was ~23% of a thin link's run time
(almost 4x higher than the second hottest function). The main reason is
that it re-examines a global var each time it is referenced. This
becomes unnecessary once it is marked both non read only and non write
only. I added a set to avoid doing redundant work, which dropped the
runtime of that thin link by almost 15%.
I made a smaller efficiency improvement (no measurable impact) to skip
all summaries for a VI if the first copy is dead. I added an assert to
ensure that all copies are dead if any is. The code in
computeDeadSymbols marks all summaries for a VI as live. There is one
corner case where it was skipping marking an alias as live, that I
fixed. However, since the code earlier marked all copies of a preserved
GUID's VI as live, and each 'visit' marks all copies live, the only case
where this could make a difference is summaries that were marked live
when they were built initially, and that is only a few special compiler
generated symbols and inline assembly symbols, so it likely is never
provoked in practice.

Summary:
The working set size heuristics (ProfileSummaryInfo::hasHugeWorkingSetSize)
under the partial sample PGO may not be accurate because the profile is partial
and the number of hot profile counters in the ProfileSummary may not reflect the
actual working set size of the program being compiled.
To improve this, the (approximated) ratio of the the number of profile counters
of the program being compiled to the number of profile counters in the partial
sample profile is computed (which is called the partial profile ratio) and the
working set size of the profile is scaled by this ratio to reflect the working
set size of the program being compiled and used for the working set size
heuristics.
The partial profile ratio is approximated based on the number of the basic
blocks in the program and the NumCounts field in the ProfileSummary and computed
through the thin LTO indexing. This means that there is the limitation that the
scaled working set size is available to the thin LTO post link passes only.

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
R_X86_64_PC32 linker error without this patch.

Summary:
A recent change to enable more importing of global variables with
references exposed some efficiency issues with export computation.
See D73724 for more information and detailed analysis.
The first was specific to variable importing. The code was marking every
copy of a referenced value (from possibly thousands of files in the case
of linkonce_odr) as exported, and we only need to mark the copy in the
module containing the variable def being imported as exported. The
reason is that this is tracking what values are newly exported as a
result of importing. Anything that was defined in another module and
simply used in the exporting module is already exported, and would have
been identified by the caller (e.g. the LTO API implementations).
The second issue is that the code was re-adding previously exported
values (along with all references). It is easy to identify when a
variable was already imported into the same module (via the
import list insert call return value), and we already did this for
function importing. However, what we weren't doing for either function
or variable importing was avoiding a re-insertion when it was previously
exported into a different importing module. The reason we couldn't do
this is there was no way of telling from the export list whether it was
previously inserted there because its definition was exported (in which
case we already marked all its references as exported) from when it was
inserted there because it was referenced by another exported value (in
which case we haven't yet inserted its own references).
To address this we can restructure the way the export list is
constructed. This patch only adds the actual imported definitions
(variable or function) to the export list for its module during the
import computation. After import computation is complete, where we were
already post-processing the export list we go ahead and add all
references made by those exported values to the export list.
These changes speed up the thin link not only with constant variable
importing enabled, but also without (due to the efficiency improvement
in function importing).
Some thin link user time measurements for one large application, average
of 5 runs:
With constant variable importing enabled:
- without this patch: 479.5s
- with this patch: 74.6s
Without constant variable importing enabled:
- without this patch: 80.6s
- with this patch: 70.3s
Note I have not re-enabled constant variable importing here, as I would
like to do additional compile time measurements with these fixes first.

Also move the setting of the WithAttributePropagation flag on the index

also when the new option disables it).

ValueInfo has user-defined 'operator bool' which allows incorrect implicit conversion
to GlobalValue::GUID (which is unsigned long). This causes bugs which are hard to
track and should be removed in future.
This patch adds an assertion check for exported read/write-only
variables to be also in import list for module. If they aren't
we may face linker errors, because read/write-only variables are
internalized in their source modules. The patch also changes

Summary:
Keep aliasees alive if their alias is live, otherwise we end up with an
alias to a declaration, which is invalid. This can happen when the
aliasee is weak and non-prevailing.
This fix exposed the fact that we were then attempting to internalize
the weak symbol, which was not exported as it was not prevailing. We
should not internalize interposable symbols in general, unless this is
the prevailing copy, since it can lead to incorrect inlining and other
optimizations. Most of the changes in this patch are due to the
restructuring required to pass down the prevailing callback.
Finally, while implementing the test cases, I found that in the case of
a weak aliasee that is still marked not live because its alias isn't
live, after dropping the definition we incorrectly marked the
declaration with weak linkage when resolving prevailing symbols in the
module. This was due to some special case handling for symbols marked
WeakLinkage in the summary located before instead of after a subsequent
check for the symbol being a declaration. It turns out that we don't
actually need this special case handling any more (looking back at the
history, when that was added the code was structured quite differently)
- we will correctly mark with weak linkage further below when the
definition hasn't been dropped.

Summary:
When we import an alias, we do so by making a clone of the aliasee. Just
as this clone uses the original alias name and linkage, it should also
use the same visibility (not the aliasee's visibility). Otherwise,
linker behavior is affected (e.g. if the aliasee was hidden, but the
alias is not, the resulting imported clone should not be hidden,
otherwise the linker will make the final symbol hidden which is
incorrect).

Summary:
We hit undefined references building with ThinLTO when one source file
contained explicit instantiations of a template method (weak_odr) but
there were also implicit instantiations in another file (linkonce_odr),
and the latter was the prevailing copy. In this case the symbol was
marked hidden when the prevailing linkonce_odr copy was promoted to
weak_odr. It led to unsats when the resulting shared library was linked
with other code that contained a reference (expecting to be resolved due
to the explicit instantiation).
Add a CanAutoHide flag to the GV summary to allow the thin link to
identify when all copies are eligible for auto-hiding (because they were
all originally linkonce_odr global unnamed addr), and only do the
auto-hide in that case.
Most of the changes here are due to plumbing the new flag through the
bitcode and llvm assembly, and resulting test changes. I augmented the
existing auto-hide test to check for this situation.

Summary:
The AliasSummary previously contained the AliaseeGUID, which was only
populated when reading the summary from bitcode. This patch changes it
to instead hold the ValueInfo of the aliasee, and always populates it.
This enables more efficient access to the ValueInfo (specifically in the
recent patch r352438 which needed to perform an index hash table lookup
using the aliasee GUID).
As noted in the comments in AliasSummary, we no longer technically need
to keep a pointer to the corresponding aliasee summary, since it could
be obtained by walking the list of summaries on the ValueInfo looking
for the summary in the same module. However, I am concerned that this
would be inefficient when walking through the index during the thin
link for various analyses. That can be reevaluated in the future.
By always populating this new field, we can remove the guard and special
handling for a 0 aliasee GUID when dumping the dot graph of the summary.
An additional improvement in this patch is when reading the summaries
from LLVM assembly we now set the AliaseeSummary field to the aliasee
summary in that same module, which makes it consistent with the behavior
when reading the summary from bitcode.

Summary:
A recent fix to the ThinLTO whole program dead code elimination (D56117)
increased the thin link time on a large MSAN'ed binary by 2x.
It's likely that the time increased elsewhere, but was more noticeable
here since it was already large and ended up timing out.
That change made it so we would repeatedly scan all copies of linkonce
symbols for liveness every time they were encountered during the graph
traversal. This was needed since we only mark one copy of an aliasee as
live when we encounter a live alias. This patch fixes the issue in a
more efficient manner by simply proactively visiting the aliasee (thus
marking all copies live) when we encounter a live alias.
Two notes: One, this requires a hash table lookup (finding the aliasee
summary in the index based on aliasee GUID). However, the impact of this
seems to be small compared to the original pre-D56117 thin link time. It
could be addressed if we keep the aliasee ValueInfo in the alias summary
instead of the aliasee GUID, which I am exploring in a separate patch.
Second, we only populate the aliasee GUID field when reading summaries
from bitcode (whether we are reading individual summaries and merging on
the fly to form the compiled index, or reading in a serialized combined
index). Thankfully, that's currently the only way we can get to this
code as we don't yet support reading summaries from LLVM assembly
directly into a tool that performs the thin link (they must be converted
to bitcode first). I added a FIXME, however I have the fix under test
already. The easiest fix is to simply populate this field always, which
isn't hard, but more likely the change I am exploring to store the
ValueInfo instead as described above will subsume this. I don't want to
hold up the regression fix for this though.

This modifies the IPO pass so that it respects any explicit function
address space specified in the data layout.
In targets with nonzero program address spaces, all functions should, by
default, be placed into the default program address space.
This is required for Harvard architectures like AVR. Without this, the
functions will be marked as residing in data space, and thus not be
callable.
This has no effect to any in-tree official backends, as none use an
explicit program address space in their data layouts.

Summary:
We can sometimes end up with multiple copies of a local variable that
have the same GUID in the index. This happens when there are local
variables with the same name that are in different source files having the
same name/path at compile time (but compiled into different bitcode objects).
In this case make sure we import the copy in the caller's module.
This enables importing both of the variables having the same GUID
(but which will have different promoted names since the module paths,
and therefore the module hashes, will be distinct).
Importing the wrong copy is particularly problematic for read only
variables, since we must import them as a local copy whenever
referenced. Otherwise we get undefs at link time.
Note that the llvm-lto.cpp and ThinLTOCodeGenerator changes are needed
for testing the distributed index case via clang, which will be sent as
a separate clang-side patch shortly. We were previously not doing the
dead code/read only computation before computing imports when testing
distributed index generation (like it was for testing importing and
other ThinLTO mechanisms alone).

This reverts commit r337081, therefore restoring r337050 (and fix in
r337059), with test fix for bot failure described after the original
description below.
In order to always import the same copy of a linkonce function,
even when encountering it with different thresholds (a higher one then a
lower one), keep track of the summary we decided to import.
This ensures that the backend only gets a single definition to import
for each GUID, so that it doesn't need to choose one.
Move the largest threshold the GUID was considered for import into the
current module out of the ImportMap (which is part of a larger map
maintained across the whole index), and into a new map just maintained
for the current module we are computing imports for. This saves some
memory since we no longer have the thresholds maintained across the
whole index (and throughout the in-process backends when doing a normal
non-distributed ThinLTO build), at the cost of some additional
information being maintained for each invocation of ComputeImportForModule
(the selected summary pointer for each import).
There is an additional map lookup for each callee being considered for
importing, however, this was able to subsume a map lookup in the
Worklist iteration that invokes computeImportForFunction. We also are
able to avoid calling selectCallee if we already failed to import at the
same or higher threshold.
I compared the run time and peak memory for the SPEC2006 471.omnetpp
benchmark (running in-process ThinLTO backends), as well as for a large
internal benchmark with a distributed ThinLTO build (so just looking at
the thin link time/memory). Across a number of runs with and without
this change there was no significant change in the time and memory.
(I tried a few other variations of the change but they also didn't
improve time or peak memory).
The new commit removes a test that no longer makes sense
(Transforms/FunctionImport/hotness_based_import2.ll), as exposed by the
reverse-iteration bot. The test depends on the order of processing the
summary call edges, and actually depended on the old problematic
behavior of selecting more than one summary for a given GUID when
encountered with different thresholds. There was no guarantee even
before that we would eventually pick the linkonce copy with the hottest
call edges, it just happened to work with the test and the old code, and
there was no guarantee that we would end up importing the selected
version of the copy that had the hottest call edges (since the backend
would effectively import only one of the selected copies).
