This removes options for performing LTO with the legacy pass
manager in LLD. Options that explicitly enable the new pass manager
are retained as no-ops.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D123219
Or rather, error out if it is set to something other than ON. This
removes the ability to enable the legacy pass manager by default,
but does not remove the ability to explicitly enable it through
various flags like -flegacy-pass-manager or -enable-new-pm=0.
I checked, and our test suite definitely doesn't pass with
LLVM_ENABLE_NEW_PASS_MANAGER=OFF anymore.

D46245 added support for this in llvm-libtool, but while lld-link can
also create .lib files from .def files it didn't support aliases.
I compared the Inputs/library.def test against the output from
llvm-libtool and it matches, except for the fact that lld-link reorders
functions for some reason.
I have also verified that this fixes a bug I was running into while
trying to compile .def files to .lib files in MinGW-w64 (using lld-link
instead of llvm-libtool).

Move all variables at file-scope or function-static-scope into a hosting structure (lld::CommonLinkerContext) that lives at lldMain()-scope. Drivers will inherit from this structure and add their own global state, in the same way as for the existing COFFLinkerContext.

* previously when a LazyObjFile was extracted, a new ObjFile/BitcodeFile was created; now the file is reused, just with `lazy` cleared
* avoid the confusing transfer of `symbols` from LazyObjFile to the new file
* simpler code, smaller executable (5200+ bytes smaller on x86-64)
* make eager parsing feasible (for parallel section/symbol table initialization)

When enable CSPGO for ThinLTO, there are profile cfg mismatch warnings that will cause lld-link errors (with /WX)
due to source changes (e.g. `#if` code runs for profile generation but not for profile use)
To disable it we have to use an internal "/mllvm:-no-pgo-warn-mismatch" option.
In contrast clang uses option ”-Wno-backend-plugin“ to avoid such warnings and gcc has an explicit "-Wno-coverage-mismatch" option.
Add "lto-pgo-warn-mismatch" option to lld COFF/ELF to help turn on/off the profile mismatch warnings explicitly when build with ThinLTO and CSPGO.

LLD on 32-bit Windows would frequently fail on large projects with
an exception "thread constructor failed: Exec format error". The stack
trace pointed to this usage of std::async, and looking at the
implementation in libc++ it seems using std::async with
std::launch::async results in the immediate creation of a new thread
for every call. This could result in a potentially unbounded number
of threads, depending on the number of input files. This seems to
be hitting some limit in 32-bit Windows host.
I took the easy route, and only use threads on 64-bit Windows, not all
Windows as before. I was thinking a more proper solution might
involve using a thread pool rather than blindly spawning any number
of new threads, but that may have other unforeseen consequences.

If linking directly against a DLL without an import library, the
DLL export symbols might not contain stdcall decorations.
If we have an undefined symbol with decoration, and we happen to have
a matching undecorated symbol (which either is lazy and can be loaded,
or already defined), then alias it against that instead.
This matches what's done in reverse, when we have a def file
declaring to export a symbol without decoration, but we only have
a defined decorated symbol. In that case we do a fuzzy match
(SymbolTable::findMangle). This case is more straightforward; if we
have a decorated undefined symbol, just strip the decoration and look
for the corresponding undecorated symbol name.
Add warnings and options for either silencing the warning or disabling
the whole feature, corresponding to how ld.bfd does it.
(This feature works for any symbol decoration mismatch, not only when
linking against a DLL directly; ld.bfd also tolerates it anywhere,
and also fixes up mismatches in the other direction, like
SymbolTable::findMangle, for any symbol, not only exports. But in
practice, at least for lld, it would primarily end up used for linking
against DLLs.)

GNU ld.bfd supports linking directly against DLLs without using an
import library, and some projects have picked up on this habit.
(There's no one single unsurmountable issue with using import
libraries, but this is a regularly surfacing missing feature.)
As long as one is linking by name (instead of by ordinal), the DLL
export table contains most of the information needed. (One can
inspect what section a symbol points at, to see if it's a function
or data symbol. The practical implementation of this loops over all
sections for each symbol, but as long as they're not very many, that
should hopefully be tolerable performance wise.)
One exception where the information in the DLL isn't entirely enough
is on i386 with stdcall functions; depending on how they're done,
the exported function name can be a plain undecorated name, while
the import library would contain the full decorated symbol name. This
issue is addressed separately in a different patch.
This is implemented mimicing the structure of a regular import library,
with one InputFile corresponding to the static archive that just adds
lazy symbols, which then are fetched when they are needed. When such
a symbol is fetched, we synthesize a coff_import_header structure
in memory and create a regular ImportFile out of it.
The implementation could be even smaller by just creating ImportFiles
for every symbol available immediately, but that would have the
drawback of actually ending up importing all symbols unless running
with GC enabled (and mingw mode defaults to having it disabled for
historical reasons).

This reverts commit e1adf90826.
This appears to affect the way that C++ mangled symbols appear in the
import library when using a .def file that names a C++ free function
with no name decoration. I will follow up with a reduced test case
shortly.
This is run every time around in the main linker loop. Once a match
has been found, stop trying to rematch such a symbol.
Not sure if this has any actual measurable performance impact though
(SymbolTable::findMangle() iterates over the whole symbol table for
each call and does fuzzy matching on top of that) but this makes the
code more reassuring to read at least. (This is in practice run for def
files listing undecorated stdcall functions to be exported.)

Ghashing is probably going to be faster in most cases, even without
precomputed ghashes in object files.
Here is my table of results linking clang.pdb:
-------------------------------
| threads | GHASH | NOGHASH |
-------------------------------
| j1 | 51.031s | 25.141s |
| j2 | 31.079s | 22.109s |
| j4 | 18.609s | 23.156s |
| j8 | 11.938s | 21.984s |
| j28 | 8.375s | 18.391s |
-------------------------------
This shows that ghashing is faster if at least four cores are available.
This may make the linker slower if most cores are busy in the middle of
a build, but in that case, the linker probably isn't on the critical
path of the build. Incremental build performance is arguably more
important than highly contended batch build link performance.
The -time output indicates that ghash computation is the dominant
factor:
Input File Reading: 924 ms ( 1.8%)
GC: 689 ms ( 1.3%)
ICF: 527 ms ( 1.0%)
Code Layout: 414 ms ( 0.8%)
Commit Output File: 24 ms ( 0.0%)
PDB Emission (Cumulative): 49938 ms ( 94.8%)
Add Objects: 46783 ms ( 88.8%)

TPI Stream Layout: 18 ms ( 0.0%)
Commit to Disk: 2818 ms ( 5.4%)
--------------------------------------------------

We can speed that up with a faster content hash (not SHA1).

/reproduce: now works correctly with:
- /call-graph-ordering-file:
- /def:
- /natvis:
- /order:
- /pdbstream:
I went through all instances of MemoryBuffer::getFile() and made sure
everything that didn't already do so called takeBuffer().
For natvis, that wasn't possible since DebugInfo/PDB wants to take
owernship of the natvis buffer. For that case, I'm manually adding the
tar file entry.
/natvis: and /pdbstream: is slightly awkward, since createResponseFile()
always adds these flags to the response file but createPDB() (which
ultimately adds the files referenced by the flags) is only called if
/debug is also passed. So when using /natvis: without /debug with
/reproduce:, lld won't warn, but when linking using the response
file from the archive, it won't find the natvis file since it's not
in the tar. This isn't a new issue though, and after this patch things
at least work with using /natvis: _with_ debug with /reproduce:.
(Same for /pdbstream:)

Libraries linked to the lld elf library exposes a function named main.
When debugging code linked to such libraries and intending to set a

Also sync help texts for the option between elf and coff ports.
Decisions:
- Do this even if /lldignoreenv is passed. /reproduce: does not affect

(On the other hand, it's now possible to set this env var and forget
about it, and all future builds in the same shell will be much slower.
That's true for ld.lld, but posix shells have an easy way to set an
env var for a single command; in cmd.exe this is not possible without
contortions. Then again, lld-link runs in posix shells too.)
