For distributed ThinLTO, the LTO indexing step generates combined
summary for each module, and postlink pipeline reads the combined
summary which stores the information for link-time optimization.
This patch populates the 'import type' of a summary in bitcode, and
updates bitcode reader to parse the bit correctly.
Originally, when `EnableImportMetadata` enabled, `SourceFileName` will
be recorded as `thinlto_src_module`. Now `SourceFileName` will be
recorded as `thinlto_src_file` and `ModuleIdentifier` will be recorded
as `thinlto_src_module`.
An example of a "workload definition" would be "the transitive closure of functions actually called to satisfy a RPC request", i.e. a (typically significantly) smaller subset of the transitive closure (static + possible indirect call targets) of callees. This means this workload definition is a type of flat dynamic profile.
Producing one is not in scope - it can be produced offline from traces, or from sample-based profiles, etc.
This patch adds awareness to ThinLTO of such a concept. A workload is defined as a root and a list of functions. All function references are by-name (more readable than GUIDs). In the case of aliases, the expectation is the list contains all the alternative names.
The workload definitions are presented to the linker as a json file, containing a dictionary. The keys are the roots, the values are the list of functions.
The import list for a module defining a root will be the functions listed for it in the profile.
Using names this way assumes unique names for internal functions, i.e. clang's `-funique-internal-linkage-names`.
Note that the behavior affects the entire module where a root is defined (i.e. different workloads best be defined in different modules), and does not affect modules that don't define roots.
Added a class to hold such common state. The goal is to both reduce the argument list of other utilities used by `computeImportForModule` (which will be brought as members in a subsequent patch), and to make it easy to extend such state later.
Also removed them from the header. They are there for test-only. This
simplifies further refactoring (as well as code comprehension)

The import/export maps, and the ModuleToDefinedGVSummaries map, are all
indexed by module paths, which are StringRef obtained from the module
summary index, which already has a data structure than owns these
strings (the ModulePathStringTable). Because these other maps are also
StringMap, which makes a copy of the string key, we were keeping
multiple extra copies of the module paths, leading to memory overhead.
Change these to DenseMap keyed by StringRef, and document that the
strings are owned by the index.
The only exception is the llvm-link tool which synthesizes an import list
from command line options, and I have added a string cache to maintain
ownership there.
I measured around 5% memory reduction in the thin link of a large
binary.

Since the symbols in the ThinLTO summary are indexed by GUID we can end
up in corner cases where a callee edge in the combined index goes to a
summary for a global variable. This could happen in the case of hash
collisions, and in the case of SamplePGO profiles could potentially happen
due to code changes (since we synthesize call edges to GUIDs that were
inlined callees in the profiled code).
Handle this by simply ignoring any non-FunctionSummary callees.

After importing variables, we do some checking to ensure that variables
marked read or write only, which have been marked exported (e.g.
because a referencing function has been exported), are on at least one
module's imports list. This is because the read or write only variables
will be internalized, so we need a copy any any module that references
it.
This checking is overly conservative in the case of linkonce_odr or
other linkage types where there can already be a duplicate copy in
existence in the importing module, which therefore wouldn't need to
import it. Loosen up the checking for these linkage types.

This logic was added in https://reviews.llvm.org/D95943 specifically to
handle an issue for non-prevailing global variables. It turns out that
it adds a new issue for prevailing glboal variables, since those could
be replaced by an available_externally definition and hence incorrectly
omitted from the output object file. Limit the import to non-prevailing
global variables to fix this, as suggested by @tejohnson.
The bulk of the diff is mechanical changes to thread isPrevailing
through to where it's needed and ensure it's available before the
relevant calls; the actual logic change itself is straightforward.

Conflicting module flags leads to a proper error for regular LTO but a crash

Thinlink provides an opportunity to propagate function attributes across modules, enabling additional propagation opportunities.
This change propagates (currently default off, turn on with `disable-thinlto-funcattrs=1`) noRecurse and noUnwind based off of function summaries of the prevailing functions in bottom-up call-graph order. Testing on clang self-build:
1. There's a 35-40% increase in noUnwind functions due to the additional propagation opportunities.
2. Throughput is measured at 10-15% increase in thinlink time which itself is 1.5% of E2E link time.
Implementation-wise this adds the following summary function attributes:
1. noUnwind: function is noUnwind
2. mayThrow: function contains a non-call instruction that `Instruction::mayThrow` returns true on (e.g. windows SEH instructions)
3. hasUnknownCall: function contains calls that don't make it into the summary call-graph thus should not be propagated from (e.g. indirect for now, could add no-opt functions as well)

In ThinLTO for locals we normally compute the GUID from the name after
prepending the source path to get a unique global id. SamplePGO indirect
call profiles contain the target GUID without this uniquification,
however (unless compiling with -funique-internal-linkage-names).
In order to correctly handle the call edges added to the combined index
for these indirect calls, during importing and bitcode writing we
consult a map of original to full GUID to identify the actual callee.
However, for a large application this was consuming a lot of compile
time as we need to do this repeatedly (especially during importing where
we may traverse call edges multiple times).
To fix this implement a suggestion in one of the FIXME comments, and
actually modify the call edges during a single traversal after the index
is built to perform the fixups once. I combined this fixup with the dead
code analysis performed on the index in order to avoid adding an
additional walk of the index. The dead code analysis is the first
analysis performed on the index.
This reduced the time required for a large thin link with SamplePGO by
about 20%.
No new test added, but I confirmed that there are existing tests that
will fail when no fixup is performed.

Currently, if there is a module that contains a strong definition of
a global variable and a module that has both a weak definition for
the same global and a reference to it, it may result in an undefined symbol error
while linking with ThinLTO.
It happens because:
* the strong definition become internal because it is read-only and can be imported;
* the weak definition gets replaced by a declaration because it's non-prevailing;
* the strong definition failed to be imported because the destination module
already contains another definition of the global yet this def is non-prevailing.
The patch adds a check to computeImportForReferencedGlobals() that allows
considering a global variable for being imported even if the module contains
a definition of it in the case this def has an interposable linkage type.
Note that currently the check is based only on the linkage type
(and this seems to be enough at the moment), but it might be worth to account
the information whether the def is prevailing or not.

I found that propagateAttributes was ~23% of a thin link's run time
(almost 4x higher than the second hottest function). The main reason is
that it re-examines a global var each time it is referenced. This
becomes unnecessary once it is marked both non read only and non write
only. I added a set to avoid doing redundant work, which dropped the
runtime of that thin link by almost 15%.
I made a smaller efficiency improvement (no measurable impact) to skip
all summaries for a VI if the first copy is dead. I added an assert to
ensure that all copies are dead if any is. The code in
computeDeadSymbols marks all summaries for a VI as live. There is one
corner case where it was skipping marking an alias as live, that I
fixed. However, since the code earlier marked all copies of a preserved
GUID's VI as live, and each 'visit' marks all copies live, the only case
where this could make a difference is summaries that were marked live
when they were built initially, and that is only a few special compiler
generated symbols and inline assembly symbols, so it likely is never
provoked in practice.
