Summary:
Using the linker-supplied list of "preserved" symbols, we can compute
the list of "dead" symbols, i.e. the one that are not reachable from
a "preserved" symbol transitively on the reference graph.
Right now we are using this information to mark these functions as
non-eligible for import.
The impact is two folds:
- Reduction of compile time: we don't import these functions anywhere
or import the function these symbols are calling.
- The limited number of import/export leads to better internalization.

Summary:
When reading the metadata bitcode, create a type declaration when
possible for composite types when we are importing. Doing this in
the bitcode reader saves memory. Also it works naturally in the case
when the type ODR map contains a definition for the same composite type
because it was used in the importing module (buildODRType will
automatically use the existing definition and not create a type
declaration).
For Chromium built with -g2, this reduces the aggregate size of the
generated native object files by 66% (from 31G to 10G). It reduced
the time through the ThinLTO link and backend phases by about 20% on
my machine.

Summary:
The motivation is to support better the -object_path_lto option on
Darwin. The linker needs to write down the generate object files on
disk for later use by lldb or dsymutil (debug info are not present
in the final binary). We're moving this into libLTO so that we can
be smarter when a cache is enabled and hard-link when possible
instead of duplicating the files.

Summary:
We have always speculatively promoted all renamable local values
(except const non-address taken variables) for both the exporting
and importing module. We would then internalize them back based on
the ThinLink results if they weren't actually exported. This is
inefficient, and results in unnecessary renames. It also meant we
had to check the non-renamability of a value in the summary, which
was already checked during function importing analysis in the ThinLink.
Made renameModuleForThinLTO (which does the promotion/renaming) instead
use the index when exporting, to avoid unnecessary renames/promotions.
For importing modules, we can simply promoted all values as any local
we import by definition is exported and needs promotion.
This required changes to the method used by the FunctionImport pass
(only invoked from 'opt' for testing) and when invoked from llvm-link,
since neither does a ThinLink. We simply conservatively mark all locals
in the index as promoted, which preserves the current aggressive
promotion behavior.
I also needed to change an llvm-lto based test where we had previously
been aggressively promoting values that weren't importable (aliasees),
but now will not promote.

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.

directly produce the index as the value type result.
This requires making the index movable which is straightforward. It
greatly simplifies things by allowing us to completely avoid the builder
API and the layers of abstraction inherent there. Instead both pass
managers can directly construct these when run by value. They still
won't be constructed truly eagerly thanks to the optional in the legacy
PM. The code that directly builds the index can also just share a direct
function.
A notable change here is that the result type of the analysis for the
new PM is no longer a reference type. This was really problematic when
making changes to how we handle result types to make our interface
requirements *much* more strict and precise. But I think this is an
overall improvement.

We currently do not touch a symbol's linkage in the case where a definition
has a single copy. However, this code is effectively unnecessary: either
the definition is not exported, in which case the internalize phase sets
its linkage to internal, or it is exported, in which case we need to promote
linkage to weak. Those two cases are already handled by existing code.
I believe that the only real functional change here is in the case where we
have a single definition which does not prevail (e.g. because the definition
in a native object file prevails). In that case we now lower linkage to
available_externally following the existing code path for that case.
As a result we can remove the isExported function parameter from the
thinLTOResolveWeakForLinkerInIndex function.

This patch changes the ODR resolution and internalization to be based on

It will be followed by an NFC change to move these out of libLTO's
ThinLTOCodeGenerator so that it can be used by other linkers
(gold and lld) and by ThinLTO distributed backends.
The global summary-based portions use callbacks so that the client can
determine the prevailing copy and other information in a client-specific
way. Eventually, with the API being developed in D20268, these may be
modified to use information such as symbol resolutions, supplied by the
clients to the API.

llvm-svn: 269059
Summary:
When launching ThinLTO backends in a distributed build (currently
supported in gold via the thinlto-index-only plugin option), emit
an individual index file for each backend process as described here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-April/098272.html
The individual index file encodes the summary and module information
required for implementing the importing/exporting decisions made
for a given module in the thin link step.
This is in place of the current mechanism that uses the combined index
to make importing decisions in each back end independently. It is an
enabler for doing global summary based optimizations in the thin link
step (which will be recorded in the individual index files), and reduces
the size of the index that must be sent to each backend process, and
the amount of work to scan it in the backends.
Rather than create entirely new ModuleSummaryIndex structures (and all
the included unique_ptrs) for each backend index file, a map is created
to record all of the GUID and summary pointers needed for a particular
index file. The IndexBitcodeWriter walks this map instead of the full
index (hiding the details of managing the appropriate summary iteration
in a new iterator subclass). This is more efficient than walking the
entire combined index and filtering out just the needed summaries during
each backend bitcode index write.
Depends on D19481.

This removes the interfaces added (and not yet complete) to support

Summary:
This is the first step in also serializing the index out to LLVM
assembly.
The per-module summary written to bitcode is moved out of the bitcode
writer and to a new analysis pass (ModuleSummaryIndexWrapperPass).
The pass itself uses a new builder class to compute index, and the
builder class is used directly in places where we don't have a pass
manager (e.g. llvm-as).
Because we are computing summaries outside of the bitcode writer, we no
longer can use value ids created by the bitcode writer's
ValueEnumerator. This required changing the reference graph edge type
to use a new ValueInfo class holding a union between a GUID (combined
index) and Value* (permodule index). The Value* are converted to the
appropriate value ID during bitcode writing.
Also, this enables removal of the BitWriter library's dependence on the
Analysis library that was previously required for the summary computation.

These function can be dropped by the compiler if they are no longer
referenced in the current module. However there is a change that
another module is still referencing them because of the import.
Multiple solutions can be used:
- Always import LinkOnce when a caller is imported. This ensure that
every module with a call to a LinkOnce has the definition and will
be able to emit it if it emits the call.
- Turn the LinkOnce into Weak, so that it is always emitted.
- Turn all LinkOnce into available_externally and come back after all
modules are codegen'ed to emit only one copy of the linkonce, when
there is still a reference to it.
This patch implement the second option, with am optimization that
only *one* module will turn the LinkOnce into Weak, while the others
will turn it into available_externally, so that there is exactly one
copy emitted for the whole compilation.

This patch adds support for including a full reference graph including

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.
