Summary:
A recent fix to drop dead symbols (r323633) did not work for ThinLTO
distributed backends because we lose the WithGlobalValueDeadStripping
set on the index during the thin link. This patch adds a new flags
record to the bitcode format for the index, and serializes this flag
for the combined index (it would always be 0 for the per-module index
generated by the compile step, so no need to serialize the new flags
record there until/unless we add another flag that applies to the
per-module indexes).
Generally this flag should always be set for the distributed backends,
which are necessarily performed after the thin link. However, if we were
to simply set this flag on the index applied to the distributed backends
(invoked via clang), we would lose the ability to disable dead stripping
via -compute-dead=false for debugging purposes.

Adds function attributes to index: ReadNone, ReadOnly, NoRecurse, NoAlias. This attributes will be used for future ThinLTO optimizations that will propagate function attributes across modules.

Add a top-level STRTAB block containing a string table blob, and start storing
strings for module codes FUNCTION, GLOBALVAR, ALIAS, IFUNC and COMDAT in
the string table.
This change allows us to share names between globals and comdats as well
as between modules, and improves the efficiency of loading bitcode files by
no longer using a bit encoding for symbol names. Once we start writing the
irsymtab to the bitcode file we will also be able to share strings between
it and the module.
On my machine, link time for Chromium for Linux with ThinLTO decreases by
about 7% for no-op incremental builds or about 1% for full builds. Total
bitcode file size decreases by about 3%.

Summary:
This patch improves thinlto importer
by importing 3x larger functions that are called from hot block.
I compared performance with the trunk on spec, and there
were about 2% on povray and 3.33% on milc. These results seems
to be consistant and match the results Teresa got with her simple
heuristic. Some benchmarks got slower but I think they are just
noisy (mcf, xalancbmki, omnetpp)- running the benchmarks again with
more iterations to confirm. Geomean of all benchmarks including the noisy ones
were about +0.02%.
I see much better improvement on google branch with Easwaran patch
for pgo callsite inlining (the inliner actually inline those big functions)
Over all I see +0.5% improvement, and I get +8.65% on povray.
So I guess we will see much bigger change when Easwaran patch will land
(it depends on new pass manager), but it is still worth putting this to trunk
before it.
Implementation details changes:
- Removed CallsiteCount.
- ProfileCount got replaced by Hotness
- hot-import-multiplier is set to 3.0 for now,
didn't have time to tune it up, but I see that we get most of the interesting
functions with 3, so there is no much performance difference with higher, and
binary size doesn't grow as much as with 10.0.

Summary:
This file should be referenced from
thinlto-function-summary-callgraph-pgo.ll file,
but someone forgot to use it there. Everything worked because
we store pgo data about callsite blocks, so there is no need to have
pgo count of @func.

Summary:
With the removal of support for lazy parsing of combined index summary
records (e.g. r267344), we no longer need to include the summary record
bitcode offset in the VST entries for definitions. Change the combined
index format to be similar to the per-module index format in using value
ids to cross-reference from the summary record to the VST entry (rather
than the summary record bitcode offset to cross-reference in the other
direction).
The visible changes are:
1) Add the value id to the combined summary records
2) Remove the summary offset from the combined VST records, which has
the following effects:
- No longer need the VST_CODE_COMBINED_GVDEFENTRY record, as all
combined index VST entries now only contain the value id and
corresponding GUID.
- No longer have duplicate VST entries in the case where there are
multiple definitions of a symbol (e.g. weak/linkonce), as they all
have the same value id and GUID.
An implication of #2 above is that in order to hook up an alias to the
correct aliasee based on the value id of the aliasee recorded in the
combined index alias record, we need to scan the entries in the index
for that GUID to find the one from the same module (i.e. the case where
there are multiple entries for the aliasee). But the reader no longer
has to maintain a special map to hook up the alias/aliasee.

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.

(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.

Summary:
This patch adds support for including a full reference graph including
call graph edges and other GV references in the summary.
The reference graph edges can be used to make importing decisions
without materializing any source modules, can be used in the plugin
to make file staging decisions for distributed build systems, and is
expected to have other uses.
The call graph edges are recorded in each function summary in the
bitcode via a list of <CalleeValueIds, StaticCount> tuples when no PGO
data exists, or <CalleeValueId, StaticCount, ProfileCount> pairs when
there is PGO, where the ValueId can be mapped to the function GUID via
the ValueSymbolTable. In the function index in memory, the call graph
edges reference the target via the CalleeGUID instead of the
CalleeValueId.
The reference graph edges are recorded in each summary record with a
list of referenced value IDs, which can be mapped to value GUID via the
ValueSymbolTable.
Addtionally, a new summary record type is added to record references
from global variable initializers. A number of bitcode records and data
structures have been renamed to reflect the newly expanded scope of the
summary beyond functions. More cleanup will follow.
