Summary:
The cumulative size of the bitcode files for a very large application
can be huge, particularly with -g. In a distributed build environment,
all of these files must be sent to the remote build node that performs
the thin link step, and this can exceed size limits.
The thin link actually only needs the summary along with a bitcode
symbol table. Until we have a proper bitcode symbol table, simply
stripping the debug metadata results in significant size reduction.
Add support for an option to additionally emit minimized bitcode
modules, just for use in the thin link step, which for now just strips
all debug metadata. I plan to add a cc1 option so this can be invoked
easily during the compile step.
However, care must be taken to ensure that these minimized thin link
bitcode files produce the same index as with the original bitcode files,
as these original bitcode files will be used in the backends.
Specifically:
1) The module hash used for caching is typically produced by hashing the
written bitcode, and we want to include the hash that would correspond
to the original bitcode file. This is because we want to ensure that
changes in the stripped portions affect caching. Added plumbing to emit
the same module hash in the minimized thin link bitcode file.
2) The module paths in the index are constructed from the module ID of
each thin linked bitcode, and typically is automatically generated from
the input file path. This is the path used for finding the modules to
import from, and obviously we need this to point to the original bitcode
files. Added gold-plugin support to take a suffix replacement during the
thin link that is used to override the identifier on the MemoryBufferRef
constructed from the loaded thin link bitcode file. The assumption is
that the build system can specify that the minimized bitcode file has a
name that is similar but uses a different suffix (e.g. out.thinlink.bc
instead of out.o).
Added various tests to ensure that we get identical index files out of
the thin link step.

Summary:
In order to simplify distributed build system integration, where actions
may be scheduled before the Thin Link which determines the list of
objects selected by the linker. The gold plugin currently will emit
0-sized index files for objects not selected by the link, to enable
checking for expected output files by the build system. If the build
system then schedules a backend action for these bitcode files, we want
to be able to fall back to normal compilation instead of failing.
This is the LLVM side support for optionally enabling fallback
instead of issuing an error. Return a null CombinedIndex from
llvm::getModuleSummaryIndexForFile under the option when the file
is empty. Clang can then ignore the index when it is null.
Clang patch is D28362.

The functions getBitcodeTargetTriple(), isBitcodeContainingObjCCategory(),
getBitcodeProducerString() and hasGlobalValueSummary() now return errors
via their return value rather than via the diagnostic handler.
To make this work, re-implement these functions using non-member functions
so that they can be used without the LLVMContext required by BitcodeReader.

Summary:
Split ReaderWriter.h which contains the APIs into both the BitReader and
BitWriter libraries into BitcodeReader.h and BitcodeWriter.h.
This is to address Chandler's concern about sharing the same API header
between multiple libraries (BitReader and BitWriter). That concern is
why we create a single bitcode library in our downstream build of clang,
which led to r286297 being reverted as it added a dependency that
created a cycle only when there is a single bitcode library (not two as
in upstream).

This removes the interfaces added (and not yet complete) to support
lazy reading of summaries. This support is not expected to be needed
since we are moving to a model where the full index is only being
traversed in the thin link step, instead of the back ends.
(The second part of this that I plan to do next is remove the
GlobalValueInfo from the ModuleSummaryIndex - it was mostly needed to
support lazy parsing of summaries. The index can instead reference the
summary structures directly.)

Produce the first specific error message for a malformed Mach-O file describing
the problem instead of the generic message for object_error::parse_failed of
"Invalid data was encountered while parsing the file”. Many more good error
messages will follow after this first one.
This is built on Lang Hames’ great work of adding the ’Error' class for
structured error handling and threading Error through MachOObjectFile
construction. And making createMachOObjectFile return Expected<...> .
So to to get the error to the llvm-obdump tool, I changed the stack of
these methods to also return Expected<...> :
object::ObjectFile::createObjectFile()
object::SymbolicFile::createSymbolicFile()
object::createBinary()
Then finally in ParseInputMachO() in MachODump.cpp the error can
be reported and the specific error message can be printed in llvm-objdump
and can be seen in the existing test case for the existing malformed binary
but with the updated error message.
Converting these interfaces to Expected<> from ErrorOr<> does involve
touching a number of places. To contain the changes for now use of
errorToErrorCode() and errorOrToExpected() are used where the callers
are yet to be converted.
Also there some were bugs in the existing code that did not deal with the
old ErrorOr<> return values. So now with Expected<> since they must be
checked and the error handled, I added a TODO and a comment:
“// TODO: Actually report errors helpfully” and a call something like
consumeError(ObjOrErr.takeError()) so the buggy code will not crash
since needed to deal with the Error.
Note there is one fix also needed to lld/COFF/InputFiles.cpp that goes along
with this that I will commit right after this. So expect lld not to built
after this commit and before the next one.

(Resubmitting after fixing missing file issue)
With the changes in r263275, there are now more than just functions in
the summary. Completed the renaming of data structures (started in
r263275) to reflect the wider scope. In particular, changed the
FunctionIndex* data structures to ModuleIndex*, and renamed related
variables and comments. Also renamed the files to reflect the changes.
A companion clang patch will immediately succeed this patch to reflect
this renaming.
