We've noticed that for large builds executing thin-link can take on the
order of 10s of minutes. We are only using a single thread to write the
sharded indices and import files for each input bitcode file. While we
need to ensure the index file produced lists modules in a deterministic
order, that doesn't prevent us from executing the rest of the work in
parallel.
In this change we use a thread pool to execute as much of the backend's
work as possible in parallel. In local testing on a machine with 80
cores, this change makes a thin-link for ~100,000 input files run in ~2
minutes. Without this change it takes upwards of 10 minutes.

This is a printf style variadic function. If using a "%s" format, we
should pass "const char *" rather than "StringRef".
The use of data() here is safe because we know that the StringRef was
originally derived from a null-terminated string.
To get the time trace of LTO in the gold plugin, now we can pass the
`time-trace=<time trace file>` as well as
`time-trace-granularity=<granularity>` flags to LLVMgold.
Note that we still have to populate `LTOConfig::TimeTraceEnabled` and
`LTOConfig::TimeTraceGranularity` because ThinLTO backend needs them.
The convention is for such MC-specific options to reside in
MCTargetOptions. However, CompressDebugSections/RelaxELFRelocations do
not follow the convention: `CompressDebugSections` is defined in both
TargetOptions and MCAsmInfo and there is forwarding complexity.
Move the option to MCTargetOptions and hereby simplify the code. Rename
the misleading RelaxELFRelocations to X86RelaxRelocations. llvm-mc
-relax-relocations and llc -x86-relax-relocations can now be unified.
This will make it easy for callers to see issues with and fix up calls
to createTargetMachine after a future change to the params of
TargetMachine.
This matches other nearby enums.
For downstream users, this should be a fairly straightforward
replacement,
e.g. s/CodeGenOpt::Aggressive/CodeGenOptLevel::Aggressive
or s/CGFT_/CodeGenFileType::
This changes the definition if isSectionBitcode to only be valid for the
.llvm.lto section, since this API is only called from LTO, and the
.llvmbc section was not intended to be used for LTO. This allows the
gold plugin to keep its existing behavior without introducing any
significant changes.

Currently, the --thinlto-prefix-replace="oldpath;newpath" option is used during
distributed ThinLTO thin links to specify the mapping of the input bitcode object
files' directory tree (oldpath) to the directory tree (newpath) used for both:
1) the output files of the thin link itself (the .thinlto.bc index files and the
optional .imports files)
2) the specified object file paths written to the response file given in the
--thinlto-index-only=${response} option, which is used by the final native
link and must match the paths of the native object files that will be
produced by ThinLTO backend compiles.
This patch expands the --thinlto-prefix-replace option to allow a separate directory
tree mapping to be specified for the object file paths written to the response file
(number 2 above). This is important to support builds and build systems where the
same output directory may not be written by multiple build actions (e.g. the thin link
and the ThinLTO backend compiles).
The new format is: --thinlto-prefix-replace="origpath;outpath[;objpath]"
This replaces the origpath directory tree of the thin link input files with
outpath when writing the thin link index and imports outputs (number 1
above). If objpath is specified it replaces origpath of the input files with
objpath when writing the response file (number 2 above), otherwise it
falls back to the old behavior of using outpath for this as well.

LTO code may end up mixing bitcode files from various sources varying in
their use of opaque pointer types. The current strategy to decide
between opaque / typed pointers upon the first bitcode file loaded does
not work here, since we could be loading a non-opaque bitcode file first
and would then be unable to load any files with opaque pointer types
later.
So for LTO this:
- Adds an `lto::Config::OpaquePointer` option and enforces an upfront
decision between the two modes.
- Adds `-opaque-pointers`/`-no-opaque-pointers` options to the gold
plugin; disabled by default.
- `--opaque-pointers`/`--no-opaque-pointers` options with
`-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers`/`-plugin-opt=-no-opaque-pointers`
aliases to lld; disabled by default.
- Adds an `-lto-opaque-pointers` option to the `llvm-lto2` tool.
- Changes the clang driver to pass `-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers` to
the linker in LTO modes when clang was configured with opaque
pointers enabled by default.

Or rather, error out if it is set to something other than ON. This

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.
Add SelectionKind to `Comdat` in IRSymtab and let linkers ignore nodeduplicate comdat.

The gold LTO plugin uses a set of hooks to implements emit-llvm and capture intermediate file generated during LTO. The hooks are called by each lto backend thread with a taskID as argument to differentiate between threads and tasks. Currently, all threads are overwriting the same file which results into only the intermediate output of the last backend thread to be preserved. This diff encodes the taskID into the filename.

That unless the user requested an output object (--lto-obj-path), the an
unused empty combined module is not emitted.
This changed is helpful for some target (ex. RISCV-V) which encoded the
ABI info in IR module flags (target-abi). Empty unused module has no ABI
info so the linker would get the linking error during merging
incompatible ABIs.

Before this patch, it wasn't possible to extend the ThinLTO threads to all SMT/CMT threads in the system. Only one thread per core was allowed, instructed by usage of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() in the ThinLTO code. Any number passed to the LLD flag /opt:lldltojobs=..., or any other ThinLTO-specific flag, was previously interpreted in the context of llvm::heavyweight_hardware_concurrency(), which means SMT disabled.
One can now say in LLD:
/opt:lldltojobs=0 -- Use one std::thread / hardware core in the system (no SMT). Default value if flag not specified.
/opt:lldltojobs=N -- Limit usage to N threads, regardless of usage of heavyweight_hardware_concurrency().
/opt:lldltojobs=all -- Use all hardware threads in the system. Equivalent to /opt:lldltojobs=$(nproc) on Linux and /opt:lldltojobs=%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% on Windows. When an affinity mask is set for the process, threads will be created only for the cores selected by the mask.
When N > number-of-hardware-threads-in-the-system, the threads in the thread pool will be dispatched equally on all CPU sockets (tested only on Windows).
When N <= number-of-hardware-threads-on-a-CPU-socket, the threads will remain on the CPU socket where the process started (only on Windows).
