If we infer the dso_local flag for -fpic, dso_local should be dropped
when we convert a GlobalVariable a declaration. dso_local causes the
generation of direct access (e.g. R_X86_64_PC32). Such relocations referencing
STB_GLOBAL STV_DEFAULT objects are not allowed in a -shared link.

The default behavior of Clang's indirect function call checker will replace
the address of each CFI-checked function in the output file's symbol table
with the address of a jump table entry which will pass CFI checks. We refer
to this as making the jump table `canonical`. This property allows code that
was not compiled with ``-fsanitize=cfi-icall`` to take a CFI-valid address
of a function, but it comes with a couple of caveats that are especially
relevant for users of cross-DSO CFI:
- There is a performance and code size overhead associated with each
exported function, because each such function must have an associated
jump table entry, which must be emitted even in the common case where the
function is never address-taken anywhere in the program, and must be used
even for direct calls between DSOs, in addition to the PLT overhead.
- There is no good way to take a CFI-valid address of a function written in
assembly or a language not supported by Clang. The reason is that the code
generator would need to insert a jump table in order to form a CFI-valid
address for assembly functions, but there is no way in general for the
code generator to determine the language of the function. This may be
possible with LTO in the intra-DSO case, but in the cross-DSO case the only
information available is the function declaration. One possible solution
is to add a C wrapper for each assembly function, but these wrappers can
present a significant maintenance burden for heavy users of assembly in
addition to adding runtime overhead.
For these reasons, we provide the option of making the jump table non-canonical
with the flag ``-fno-sanitize-cfi-canonical-jump-tables``. When the jump
table is made non-canonical, symbol table entries point directly to the
function body. Any instances of a function's address being taken in C will
be replaced with a jump table address.
This scheme does have its own caveats, however. It does end up breaking
function address equality more aggressively than the default behavior,
especially in cross-DSO mode which normally preserves function address
equality entirely.
Furthermore, it is occasionally necessary for code not compiled with
``-fsanitize=cfi-icall`` to take a function address that is valid
for CFI. For example, this is necessary when a function's address
is taken by assembly code and then called by CFI-checking C code. The
``__attribute__((cfi_jump_table_canonical))`` attribute may be used to make
the jump table entry of a specific function canonical so that the external
code will end up taking a address for the function that will pass CFI checks.
Fixes PR41972.

Summary:
Reapply r357931 with fixes to ThinLTO testcases and llvm-lto tool.
ThinLTOCodeGenerator currently does not preserve llvm.used symbols and
it can internalize them. In order to pass the necessary information to the
legacy ThinLTOCodeGenerator, the input to the code generator is
rewritten to be based on lto::InputFile.
Now ThinLTO using the legacy LTO API will requires data layout in
Module.
"internalize" thinlto action in llvm-lto is updated to run both
"promote" and "internalize" with the same configuration as
ThinLTOCodeGenerator. The old "promote" + "internalize" option does not
produce the same output as ThinLTOCodeGenerator.

Summary:
Records in the module summary index whether the bitcode was compiled
with the option necessary to enable splitting the LTO unit
(e.g. -fsanitize=cfi, -fwhole-program-vtables, or -fsplit-lto-unit).
The information is passed down to the ModuleSummaryIndex builder via a
new module flag "EnableSplitLTOUnit", which is propagated onto a flag
on the summary index.
This is then used during the LTO link to check whether all linked
summaries were built with the same value of this flag. If not, an error
is issued when we detect a situation requiring whole program visibility
of the class hierarchy. This is the case when both of the following
conditions are met:
1) We are performing LowerTypeTests or Whole Program Devirtualization.
2) There are type tests or type checked loads in the code.
Note I have also changed the ThinLTOBitcodeWriter to also gate the
module splitting on the value of this flag.

Summary:
Emit summaries for bitcode modules that are only destined for the
regular LTO portion of the build so they can participate in
summary-based dead stripping.
This change reduces the size of a nacl_helper build with cfi-icall
enabled by 7%, removing the majority of the overhead due to enabling
cfi-icall. The cfi-icall size increase was caused by compiling in lots
of unused code and cfi-icall generating jumptable references to unused
symbols that could no longer be removed by -Wl,-gc-sections. Increasing
the visibility of summary-based dead stripping prevented jumptable
entries being created for unused symbols from the regular LTO portion
of the build.

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:
LowerTypeTests moves some function definitions from individual object
files to the merged module, leaving a stub to be called in the merged
module's jump table. If an alias was pointing to such a function
definition LowerTypeTests would fail because the alias would be left
without a definition to point to.
This change 1) emits information about aliases to the ThinLTO summary,
2) replaces aliases pointing to function definitions that are moved to
the merged module with function declarations, and 3) re-emits those
aliases in the merged module pointing to the correct function
definitions.
The patch does not correctly fix all possible mis-uses of aliases in
LowerTypeTests. For example, it does not handle aliases with a different
type from the pointed to function.
The addition of alias data increases the size of Chrome build artifacts
by less than 1%.

If the thin module has no references to an internal global in the
merged module, we need to make sure to preserve that property if the
global is a member of a comdat group, as otherwise promotion can end
up adding global symbols to the comdat, which is not allowed.
This situation can arise if the external global in the thin module
has dead constant users, which would cause use_empty() to return
false and would cause us to try to promote it. To prevent this from
happening, discard the dead constant users before asking whether a
global is empty.

Summary: Currently the ThinLTO minimized bitcode file only strip the debug info, but there is still a lot of information in the minimized bit code file that will be not used for thin linker. In this patch, most of the extra information is striped to reduce the minimized bitcode file. Now only ModuleVersion, ModuleInfo, ModuleGlobalValueSummary, ModuleHash, Symtab and Strtab are left. Now the minimized bitcode file size is reduced to 15%-30% of the debug info stripped bitcode file size.

The only reason this worked previously is by chance -- because the way
we got alias analysis results with the legacy PM, we happened to not

Summary:
The cumulative size of the bitcode files for a very large application
can be huge, particularly with -g. In a distributed build environment,
all of these files must be sent to the remote build node that performs
the thin link step, and this can exceed size limits.
The thin link actually only needs the summary along with a bitcode
symbol table. Until we have a proper bitcode symbol table, simply
stripping the debug metadata results in significant size reduction.
Add support for an option to additionally emit minimized bitcode
modules, just for use in the thin link step, which for now just strips
all debug metadata. I plan to add a cc1 option so this can be invoked
easily during the compile step.
However, care must be taken to ensure that these minimized thin link
bitcode files produce the same index as with the original bitcode files,
as these original bitcode files will be used in the backends.
Specifically:
1) The module hash used for caching is typically produced by hashing the
written bitcode, and we want to include the hash that would correspond
to the original bitcode file. This is because we want to ensure that
changes in the stripped portions affect caching. Added plumbing to emit
the same module hash in the minimized thin link bitcode file.
2) The module paths in the index are constructed from the module ID of
each thin linked bitcode, and typically is automatically generated from
the input file path. This is the path used for finding the modules to
import from, and obviously we need this to point to the original bitcode
files. Added gold-plugin support to take a suffix replacement during the
thin link that is used to override the identifier on the MemoryBufferRef
constructed from the loaded thin link bitcode file. The assumption is
that the build system can specify that the minimized bitcode file has a
name that is similar but uses a different suffix (e.g. out.thinlink.bc
instead of out.o).
Added various tests to ensure that we get identical index files out of
the thin link step.
