The motivating use case is to support import the function declaration
across modules to construct call graph edges for indirect calls [1]
when importing the function definition costs too much compile time
(e.g., the function is too large has no `noinline` attribute).
1. Currently, when the compiled IR module doesn't have a function
definition but its postlink combined summary contains the function
summary or a global alias summary with this function as aliasee, the
function definition will be imported from source module by IRMover. The
implementation is in FunctionImporter::importFunctions [2]
2. In order for FunctionImporter to import a declaration of a function,
both function summary and alias summary need to carry the def / decl
state. Specifically, all existing summary fields doesn't differ across
import modules, but the def / decl state of is decided by
`<ImportModule, Function>`.
This change encodes the def/decl state in `GlobalValueSummary::GVFlags`.
In the subsequent changes
1. The indexing step `computeImportForModule` [3]
will compute the set of definitions and the set of declarations for each
module, and passing on the information to bitcode writer.
2. Bitcode writer will look up the def/decl state and sets the state
when it writes out the flag value. This is demonstrated in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/87600
3. Function importer will read the def/decl state when reading the
combined summary to figure out two sets of global values, and IRMover
will be updated to import the declaration (aka linkGlobalValuePrototype [4])
into the destination module.

This adds support for a HasTailCall flag on function call edges in the
ThinLTO summary. It is intended for use in aiding discovery of missing
frames from tail calls in profiled call stacks for MemProf of profiled
binaries that did not disable tail call elimination. A follow on change
will add the use of this new flag during MemProf context disambiguation.
The new flag is encoded in the bitcode along with either the hotness
flag from the profile, or the relative block frequency under the
-write-relbf-to-summary flag when there is no profile data.
Because we now will always have some additional call edge information, I
have removed the non-profile function summary record format, and we
simply encode the tail call flag along with a hotness type of none when
there is no profile information or relative block frequency. The change
of record format and name caused most of the test case changes.
I have added explicit testing of generation of the new tail call flag
into the bitcode and IR assembly format as part of the changes to
llvm/test/Bitcode/thinlto-function-summary-refgraph.ll. I have also
added round trip testing through assembly and bitcode to
llvm/test/Assembler/thinlto-summary.ll.
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)
Testing:
Clang self-build passes and 2nd stage build passes check-all
ninja check-all with newly added tests passing

Imported functions and variable get the visibility from the module supplying the
definition. However, non-imported definitions do not get the visibility from
(ELF) the most constraining visibility among all modules (Mach-O) the visibility
of the prevailing definition.
This patch
* adds visibility bits to GlobalValueSummary::GVFlags
* computes the result visibility and propagates it to all definitions
Protected/hidden can imply dso_local which can enable some optimizations (this
is stronger than GVFlags::DSOLocal because the implied dso_local can be
leveraged for ELF -shared while default visibility dso_local has to be cleared
for ELF -shared).
Note: we don't have summaries for declarations, so for ELF if a declaration has
the most constraining visibility, the result visibility may not be that one.

This patch imports constant variables even when they can't be internalized
(which results in promotion). This offers some extra constant folding
opportunities.
Differential revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D70404
Summary: A user can force a function to be inlined by specifying the always_inline attribute. Currently, thinlto implementation is not aware of always_inline functions and does not guarantee import of such functions, which in turn can prevent inlining of such functions.

It's possible that some function can load and store the same
variable using the same constant expression:
store %Derived* @foo, %Derived** bitcast (%Base** @bar to %Derived**)
%42 = load %Derived*, %Derived** bitcast (%Base** @bar to %Derived**)
The bitcast expression was mistakenly cached while processing loads,
and never examined later when processing store. This caused @bar to
be mistakenly treated as read-only variable. See load-store-caching.ll.

Summary:
We hit undefined references building with ThinLTO when one source file
contained explicit instantiations of a template method (weak_odr) but
there were also implicit instantiations in another file (linkonce_odr),
and the latter was the prevailing copy. In this case the symbol was
marked hidden when the prevailing linkonce_odr copy was promoted to
weak_odr. It led to unsats when the resulting shared library was linked
with other code that contained a reference (expecting to be resolved due
to the explicit instantiation).
Add a CanAutoHide flag to the GV summary to allow the thin link to
identify when all copies are eligible for auto-hiding (because they were
all originally linkonce_odr global unnamed addr), and only do the
auto-hide in that case.
Most of the changes here are due to plumbing the new flag through the
bitcode and llvm assembly, and resulting test changes. I augmented the
existing auto-hide test to check for this situation.

Summary:
The NotEligibleToImport flag on the GlobalValueSummary was set if it
isn't legal to import (e.g. because it references unpromotable locals)
and when it can't be inlined (in which case importing is pointless).
I split out the inlinable piece into a separate flag on the
FunctionSummary (doesn't make sense for aliases or global variables),
because in the future we may want to import for reasons other than
inlining.

Summary:
In D49565/r337503, the type id record writing was fixed so that only
referenced type ids were emitted into each per-module index for ThinLTO
distributed builds. However, this still left an efficiency issue: each
per-module index checked all type ids for membership in the referenced
set, yielding O(M*N) performance (M indexes and N type ids).
Change the TypeIdMap in the summary to be indexed by GUID, to facilitate
correlating with type identifier GUIDs referenced in the function
summary TypeIdInfo structures. This allowed simplifying other
places where a map from type id GUID to type id map entry was previously
being used to aid this correlation.
Also fix AsmWriter code to handle the rare case of type id GUID
collision.
For a large internal application, this reduced the thin link time by
almost 15%.

The AsmWriter was only writing the Args for a ConstVCall if it was

in making it optional, surround the ConstVCall VFuncId and Args in
parentheses when writing, then make the Args optional when reading.

Summary:
Currently all type ids are emitted into the index file when it is
written. For distributed ThinLTO, that meant that all type ids were
being duplicated into every single distributed index file, regardless of
whether they were referenced, leading to huge amounts of unnecessary
duplication and size bloat.
Keep track of the type id GUIDs actually referenced by the GV summary
records being emitted, and only emit those type IDs.
Add a new test, and fix test/Assembler/thinlto-summary.ll so that all
type ids are referenced to prevent deletion in that test.

Summary:
Adds assembly parsing support for the module summary index (follow on
to r333335 which added the assembly writing support).
I added support to llvm-as to invoke the index parsing, so that it can
create either a bitcode file with a Module and a per-module index, or
a combined index without a Module.
I will send follow on patches soon to do the following:
- add support to tools such as llvm-lto2 to parse the per-module indexes
from assembly instead of bitcode when testing the thin link.
- verification support.
Depends on D47844 and D47842.
