Summary:
The bitcode format is described in this document:

The first customer is ThinLTO, however the data structures are designed
and named more generally based on prior feedback. There are a few
comments regarding how certain interfaces are used by ThinLTO, and the
options added here to gold currently have ThinLTO-specific names as the
behavior they provoke is currently ThinLTO-specific.
This patch includes support for generating per-module function indexes,
the combined index file via the gold plugin, and several tests
(more are included with the associated clang patch D11908).

Parallelism can be enabled using a new plugin option, jobs=N, where N is
the number of code generation threads.

Change the callers of `WriteToBitcodeFile()` to pass `true` or
`shouldPreserveBitcodeUseListOrder()` explicitly. I left the callers
that want to send `false` alone.
I'll keep pushing the bit higher until hopefully I can delete the global
`cl::opt` entirely.

formatted_raw_ostream is a wrapper over another stream to add column and line
number tracking.
It is used only for asm printing.
This patch moves the its creation down to where we know we are printing
assembly. This has the following advantages:
* Simpler lifetime management: std::unique_ptr
* We don't compute column and line number of object files :-)
llvm-svn: 234535
Revert "Add classof implementations to the raw_ostream classes."
Revert "Use the cast machinery to remove dummy uses of formatted_raw_ostream."
The underlying issue can be fixed without classof.

Keep a note in the materializer that we are stripping debug info so that
user doing a lazy read of the module don't hit outdated formats.
Thanks to Duncan for suggesting the fix.

Dropping old debug format requires the entire module to be read upfront.
This was failing only with the gold plugin, but that is just because
llvm-link was not upgrading metadata.
The new testcase using llvm-link shows the problem.

This change also introduces a link-time optimization level of 1. This
optimization level runs only the globaldce pass as well as cleanup passes for
passes that run at -O0, specifically simplifycfg which cleans up lowerbitsets.

The issue was that we were always printing the remarks. Fix that and add a test
showing that it prints nothing if -pass-remarks is not given.
Original message:
Correctly handle -pass-remarks in the gold plugin.
llvm-svn: 231273
The issue is that now we have a diag handler during optimizations
and get forward every optimization remark, flooding stdout.
The same filtering should probably be done with or without a
custom handler, but for now just ignore remarks.
Original message:
gold-plugin: "Upgrade" debug info and handle its warnings.
The gold plugin never calls MaterializeModule, so any old debug info
was not deleted and could cause crashes.
Now that it is being "upgraded", the plugin also has to handle warnings
and create Modules with a nice id (it shows in the warning).

a gold binary explicitly. Substitute this binary into the tests rather
than just directly executing the 'ld' binary.
This should allow folks to inject a cross compiling gold binary, or in
my case to use a gold binary built and installed somewhere other than
/usr/bin/ld. It should also allow the tests to find 'ld.gold' so that
things work even if gold isn't the default on the system.
I've only stubbed out support in the makefile to preserve the existing
behavior with none of the fancy logic. If someone else wants to add
logic here, they're welcome to do so.

because I didn't have binutils set up properly to build the gold plugin.
Fixes PR22581 which was filed because this broke the build for folks
relying on the plugin. Very sorry! =]
I've gotten the plugin stuff building now as well so it shouldn't keep
happening.

LLVM's include tree and the use of using declarations to hide the
'legacy' namespace for the old pass manager.
This undoes the primary modules-hostile change I made to keep
out-of-tree targets building. I sent an email inquiring about whether
this would be reasonable to do at this phase and people seemed fine with
it, so making it a reality. This should allow us to start bootstrapping
with modules to a certain extent along with making it easier to mix and
match headers in general.
The updates to any code for users of LLVM are very mechanical. Switch
from including "llvm/PassManager.h" to "llvm/IR/LegacyPassManager.h".
Qualify the types which now produce compile errors with "legacy::". The
most common ones are "PassManager", "PassManagerBase", and
"FunctionPassManager".

bfd creates the output file early, so calling exit(0) is not enough, the file needs to be explicitly deleted.

llvm-svn: 228946
Summary:
Move calls to get_input_file and release_input_file out of
getModuleForFile(). Otherwise release_input_file may end up
unmapping a view of the file while the view is still being
used by the Module (on 32-bit hosts).
Fix for PR22482.
Test Plan: Add test using --no-map-whole-files.

While the term "Target" is in the name, it doesn't really have to do
with the LLVM Target library -- this isn't an abstraction which LLVM
targets generally need to implement or extend. It has much more to do
with modeling the various runtime libraries on different OSes and with
different runtime environments. The "target" in this sense is the more
general sense of a target of cross compilation.
This is in preparation for porting this analysis to the new pass
manager.
No functionality changed, and updates inbound for Clang and Polly.

This can happen if:
* It is present in a comdat in one file.
* It is not present in the comdat of the file that is kept.
* Is is not used.
This should fix the LTO boostrap.
Thanks to Takumi NAKAMURA for setting up the bot!

The bitcode reading interface used std::error_code to report an error to the
callers and it is the callers job to print diagnostics.
This is not ideal for error handling or diagnostic reporting:
* For error handling, all that the callers care about is 3 possibilities:
* It worked
* The bitcode file is corrupted/invalid.
* The file is not bitcode at all.
* For diagnostic, it is user friendly to include far more information
about the invalid case so the user can find out what is wrong with the
bitcode file. This comes up, for example, when a developer introduces a
bug while extending the format.
The compromise we had was to have a lot of error codes.
With this patch we use the DiagnosticHandler to communicate with the
human and std::error_code to communicate with the caller.
This allows us to have far fewer error codes and adds the infrastructure to
print better diagnostics. This is so because the diagnostics are printed when
he issue is found. The code that detected the problem in alive in the stack and
can pass down as much context as needed. As an example the patch updates
test/Bitcode/invalid.ll.
Using a DiagnosticHandler also moves the fatal/non-fatal error decision to the
caller. A simple one like llvm-dis can just use fatal errors. The gold plugin
needs a bit more complex treatment because of being passed non-bitcode files. An
hypothetical interactive tool would make all bitcode errors non-fatal.

The complicated situation is when we have to keep an alias but drop a GV
that is part of the aliasee.
We used to clone the dropped GV and make the clone internal. This is wasteful
as we know the original will be dropped.
With this patch what is done instead is set the linkage of the original to
internal and replace all uses (but the one in the alias) with a new
declaration that takes the name of the old GV. This saves us from having
to copy the body.
llvm-svn: 223863
This allows it to work with non trivial manglings like the one in COFF.
Amusingly, this can be tested with gold, as emit-llvm causes the plugin to
exit before any COFF is generated.
llvm-svn: 223790
Instead, walk the obj symbol list in parallel to find the GV. This shouldn't
change anything on ELF where global symbols are not mangled, but it is a step
toward supporting other object formats.
Gold itself is ELF only, but bfd ld supports COFF and the logic in the gold
plugin could be reused on lld.
