TableGen: Emit statically generated hash table for runtime libcalls (#150192)
a96121089b9c94e08c6632f91f2dffc73c0ffa28 reverted a change
to use a binary search on the string name table because it
was too slow. This replaces it with a static string hash
table based on the known set of libcall names. Microbenchmarking
shows this is similarly fast to using DenseMap. It's possibly
slightly slower than using StringSet, though these aren't an
exact comparison. This also saves on the one time use construction
of the map, so it could be better in practice.

This search isn't simple set check, since it does find the
range of possible matches with the same name. There's also
an additional check for whether the current target supports
the name. The runtime constructed set doesn't require this,
since it only adds the symbols live for the target.

Followed algorithm from this post
http://0x80.pl/notesen/2023-04-30-lookup-in-strings.html

I'm also thinking the 2 special case global symbols should
just be added to RuntimeLibcalls. There are also other global
references emitted in the backend that aren't tracked; we probably
should just use this as a centralized database for all compiler
selected symbols.

[IR] Store Triple in Module (NFC) (#129868)
The module currently stores the target triple as a string. This means
that any code that wants to actually use the triple first has to
instantiate a Triple, which is somewhat expensive. The change in #121652
caused a moderate compile-time regression due to this. While it would be
easy enough to work around, I think that architecturally, it makes more
sense to store the parsed Triple in the module, so that it can always be
directly queried.

For this change, I've opted not to add any magic conversions between
std::string and Triple for backwards-compatibilty purses, and instead
write out needed Triple()s or str()s explicitly. This is because I think
a decent number of them should be changed to work on Triple as well, to
avoid unnecessary conversions back and forth.

The only interesting part in this patch is that the default triple is
Triple("") instead of Triple() to preserve existing behavior. The former
defaults to using the ELF object format instead of unknown object
format. We should fix that as well.

[LLVM][LTO] Factor out RTLib calls and allow them to be dropped (#98512)
Summary:
The LTO pass and LLD linker have logic in them that forces extraction
and prevent internalization of needed runtime calls. However, these
currently take all RTLibcalls into account, even if the target does not
support them. The target opts-out of a libcall if it sets its name to
nullptr. This patch pulls this logic out into a class in the header so
that LTO / lld can use it to determine if a symbol actually needs to be
kept.

This is important for targets like AMDGPU that want to be able to use
`lld` to perform the final link step, but does not want the overhead of
uncalled functions. (This adds like a second to the link time trivially)

8d121f636b [LTO] An option to disable automatic bitcode upgrade
Bitcode upgrade automatically takes in place when the current compiler version doesn't match the one building the input modules. The upgrade is very expansive for large applications and unnecessary when users are sure the two compilers do not have a version issue, even if their versions mismatch literally. An optional to disable the automatic bitcode upgrade will be handy in such case.

ac02bcad56 [IRSymTab] Mark __stack_chk_guard used
`__stack_chk_guard` is a global variable that has no uses before the LLVM code generation phase (how it is defined is platform-dependent). LTO needs to preserve this symbol for that reason. Currently, legacy LTO API preserves it by hardcoding the logic in Internalizer, but this symbol is not preserved by regular LTO API in thinlink phase. This patch marks `__stack_chk_guard` used during IR symbol table writing since this is how builtin functions are preserved by thinlink by using `RuntimeLibcalls.def`.

While both GlobalAlias and GlobalIFunc are GlobalIndirectSymbol, their
`getIndirectSymbol()` usage is quite different (GlobalIFunc's resolver
is an entity different from GlobalIFunc itself).

As discussed on https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-September/144904.html
("[IR] Modelling of GlobalIFunc"), the name `getBaseObject` is confusing when
used with GlobalIFunc.

To resolve the confusion:

* Move GloalIndirectSymol::getBaseObject to GlobalAlias:: (GlobalIFunc should use `getResolver` instead)
* Change GlobalValue::getBaseObject not to inspect GlobalIFunc. Note: the function has 7 references.
* Add GlobalIFunc::getResolverFunction to peel off potential ConstantExpr indirection
  (`strlen` in `test/LTO/Resolution/X86/ifunc.ll`)

Note: GlobalIFunc::getResolver (like GlobalAlias::getAliasee which does not peel
off ConstantExpr indirection) is kept to be used by ValueEnumerator.

db5e078690 [LTO] Add SelectionKind to IRSymtab and use it in ld.lld/LLVMgold
In PGO, a C++ external linkage function `foo` has a private counter
`__profc_foo` and a private `__profd_foo` in a `comdat nodeduplicate`.

A `__attribute__((weak))` function `foo` has a weak hidden counter `__profc_foo`
and a private `__profd_foo` in a `comdat nodeduplicate`.

In `ld.lld a.o b.o`, say a.o defines an external linkage `foo` and b.o
defines a weak `foo`. Currently we treat `comdat nodeduplicate` as `comdat any`,
ld.lld will incorrectly consider `b.o:__profc_foo` non-prevailing.  In the worst
case when `b.o:__profd_foo` is retained and `b.o:__profc_foo` isn't, there will
be dangling reference causing an `undefined hidden symbol` error.

584cb67d2d [IRSymTab] Set FB_used on llvm.compiler.used symbols
IR symbol table does not parse inline asm. A symbol only referenced by inline
asm is not in the IR symbol table, so LTO does not know that the definition (in
another translation unit) is referenced and may internalize it, even if that
definition has `__attribute__((used))` (which lowers to `llvm.compiler.used` on
ELF targets since D97446).

```
// cabac.c
__attribute__((used)) const uint8_t ff_h264_cabac_tables[...] = {...};

// h264_cabac.c
  asm("lea ff_h264_cabac_tables(%rip), %0" : ...);
```

`__attribute__((used))` is the recommended way to tell the compiler there may
be inline asm references, so the usage is perfectly fine. This patch
conservatively sets the `FB_used` bit on `llvm.compiler.used` symbols to work
around the IR symbol table limitation. Note: before D97446, Clang never emitted
symbols in the `llvm.compiler.used` list, so this change does not punish any
Clang emitted global object.

Without the patch, `ff_h264_cabac_tables` may be assigned to a non-external
partition and get internalized. Then we will get a linker error because the
`cabac.c` definition is not exposed.

1d16515fb4 [ELF] Implement Dependent Libraries Feature
This patch implements a limited form of autolinking primarily designed to allow
either the --dependent-library compiler option, or "comment lib" pragmas (
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/preprocessor/comment-c-cpp?view=vs-2017) in
C/C++ e.g. #pragma comment(lib, "foo"), to cause an ELF linker to automatically
add the specified library to the link when processing the input file generated
by the compiler.

Currently this extension is unique to LLVM and LLD. However, care has been taken
to design this feature so that it could be supported by other ELF linkers.

The design goals were to provide:

- A simple linking model for developers to reason about.
- The ability to to override autolinking from the linker command line.
- Source code compatibility, where possible, with "comment lib" pragmas in other
  environments (MSVC in particular).

Dependent library support is implemented differently for ELF platforms than on
the other platforms. Primarily this difference is that on ELF we pass the
dependent library specifiers directly to the linker without manipulating them.
This is in contrast to other platforms where they are mapped to a specific
linker option by the compiler. This difference is a result of the greater
variety of ELF linkers and the fact that ELF linkers tend to handle libraries in
a more complicated fashion than on other platforms. This forces us to defer
handling the specifiers to the linker.

In order to achieve a level of source code compatibility with other platforms
we have restricted this feature to work with libraries that meet the following
"reasonable" requirements:

1. There are no competing defined symbols in a given set of libraries, or
   if they exist, the program owner doesn't care which is linked to their
   program.
2. There may be circular dependencies between libraries.

The binary representation is a mergeable string section (SHF_MERGE,
SHF_STRINGS), called .deplibs, with custom type SHT_LLVM_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES
(0x6fff4c04). The compiler forms this section by concatenating the arguments of
the "comment lib" pragmas and --dependent-library options in the order they are
encountered. Partial (-r, -Ur) links are handled by concatenating .deplibs
sections with the normal mergeable string section rules. As an example, #pragma
comment(lib, "foo") would result in:

.section ".deplibs","MS",@llvm_dependent_libraries,1
         .asciz "foo"

For LTO, equivalent information to the contents of a the .deplibs section can be
retrieved by the LLD for bitcode input files.

LLD processes the dependent library specifiers in the following way:

1. Dependent libraries which are found from the specifiers in .deplibs sections
   of relocatable object files are added when the linker decides to include that
   file (which could itself be in a library) in the link. Dependent libraries
   behave as if they were appended to the command line after all other options. As
   a consequence the set of dependent libraries are searched last to resolve
   symbols.
2. It is an error if a file cannot be found for a given specifier.
3. Any command line options in effect at the end of the command line parsing apply
   to the dependent libraries, e.g. --whole-archive.
4. The linker tries to add a library or relocatable object file from each of the
   strings in a .deplibs section by; first, handling the string as if it was
   specified on the command line; second, by looking for the string in each of the
   library search paths in turn; third, by looking for a lib<string>.a or
   lib<string>.so (depending on the current mode of the linker) in each of the
   library search paths.
5. A new command line option --no-dependent-libraries tells LLD to ignore the
   dependent libraries.

Rationale for the above points:

1. Adding the dependent libraries last makes the process simple to understand
   from a developers perspective. All linkers are able to implement this scheme.
2. Error-ing for libraries that are not found seems like better behavior than
   failing the link during symbol resolution.
3. It seems useful for the user to be able to apply command line options which
   will affect all of the dependent libraries. There is a potential problem of
   surprise for developers, who might not realize that these options would apply
   to these "invisible" input files; however, despite the potential for surprise,
   this is easy for developers to reason about and gives developers the control
   that they may require.
4. This algorithm takes into account all of the different ways that ELF linkers
   find input files. The different search methods are tried by the linker in most
   obvious to least obvious order.
5. I considered adding finer grained control over which dependent libraries were
   ignored (e.g. MSVC has /nodefaultlib:<library>); however, I concluded that this
   is not necessary: if finer control is required developers can fall back to using
   the command line directly.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed

e06bac4796 Put "built-in" function definitions in global Used list, for LTO. (fix bug 34169)
When building with LTO, builtin functions that are defined but whose calls have not been inserted yet, get internalized. The Global Dead Code Elimination phase in the new LTO implementation then removes these function definitions. Later optimizations add calls to those functions, and the linker then dies complaining that there are no definitions. This CL fixes the new LTO implementation to check if a function is builtin, and if so, to not internalize (and later DCE) the function. As part of this fix I needed to move the RuntimeLibcalls.{def,h} files from the CodeGen subidrectory to the IR subdirectory. I have updated all the files that accessed those two files to access their new location.

        f = f.strip()
        fl = open(f).readlines()

        found = False
        for i in xrange(len(fl)):
            p = '#include "llvm/'
            if not fl[i].startswith(p):
                continue
            if fl[i][len(p):] > 'Config':
                fl.insert(i, '#include "llvm/Config/llvm-config.h"\n')
                found = True
                break
        if not found:
            print 'not found', f
        else:
            open(f, 'w').write(''.join(fl))

and then looked through everything with `svn diff | diffstat -l | xargs -n 1000 gvim -p`
and tried to fix include ordering and whatnot.

No intended behavior change.

6c48462276 Object: Improve COFF irsymtab comdat representation.
Change the representation of COFF comdats so that a COFF linker
is able to accurately resolve comdats between IR and native object
files. Specifically, apply name mangling to comdat names consistently
with native object files, and do not export comdats with an internal
leader because they do not affect symbol resolution.

a83c3f7879 [LTO] Prevent dead stripping and internalization of symbols with sections
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.
