Summary:
Sometimes it's useful to emit assembly after LTO stage to modify it manually. Emitting precodegen bitcode file (via save-temps plugin option) and then feeding it to llc doesn't always give the same binary as original.
This patch is simpler alternative to https://reviews.llvm.org/D24020.

Summary:
r336838 allowed these to be toggleable.
r336858 reverted r336838.
r336943 made the generation of these sections conditional on LDPO_REL.
This commit brings back the toggle-ability. You can specify:
-plugin-opt=-function-sections
-plugin-opt=-data-sections
For your linker flags to disable the changes made in r336943.
Without toggling r336943 off, arm64 linux kernels linked with gold-plugin
see significant boot time regressions, but with r336943 outright reverted
x86_64 linux kernels linked with gold-plugin fail to boot.

Not all programs want section ordering when compiled with LTO.
In particular, the Linux kernel is very sensitive when it comes to linking, and
doesn't boot when each function is placed in its own sections.

Some programs (e.g. Linux) aren't able to handle function/data sections when
LTO is used. Thus they need a way to disable it. That can be done with these
plugin options:
-plugin-opt=-function-sections=0
-plugin-opt=-data-sections=0

I don't know how to build this code, but based on the failing

Utilize new gold plugin api interface for obtaining --wrap option
arguments, and LTO API handling (added for --wrap support in lld LTO),
to mark symbols so that LTO does not optimize them inappropriately.
Note the test cases will be in a new gold test subdirectory that
is dependent on the next release of gold which will contain the new
interfaces.

Summary:
Gold plugin does not add pass to ThinLTO modules without useful symbols.
In this case ThinLTO can't create corresponding index file and some features, like CFI,
cannot be processes by backed correctly without index.
Given that we don't need the backed output we can request it to avoid
processing the module. This is implemented by this patch using new
"SkipModuleByDistributedBackend" flag.

The LTO opt level should not affect the codegen opt level, and indeed
it does not affect it in lld. Ideally the codegen opt level should
be controlled by an IR-level attribute based on the compile-time opt
level, but that hasn't been implemented yet.

Summary:
ELF linkers generate __start_<secname> and __stop_<secname> symbols
when there is a value in a section <secname> where the name is a valid
C identifier. If dead stripping determines that the values declared
in section <secname> are dead, and we then internalize (and delete)
such a symbol, programs that reference the corresponding start and end
section symbols will get undefined reference linking errors.
To fix this, add the section name to the IRSymtab entry when a symbol is
defined in a specific section. Then use this in the gold-plugin to mark
the symbol as external and visible from outside the summary when the
section name is a valid C identifier.

Introduce symbol table data structures that can be potentially written to
disk, have the LTO library build those data structures using temporarily
constructed modules and redirect the LTO library implementation to go through
those data structures. This allows us to remove the LLVMContext and Modules
owned by InputFile.
With this change I measured a peak memory consumption decrease from 5.4GB to
2.8GB in a no-op incremental ThinLTO link of Chromium on Linux. The impact on
memory consumption is larger in COFF linkers where we are currently forced
to materialize all metadata in order to read linker options. Peak memory
consumption linking a large piece of Chromium for Windows with full LTO and
debug info decreases from >64GB (OOM) to 15GB.
