Summary:
Chrome on Linux uses WholeProgramDevirt for speed ups, and it's
important to detect regressions on both sides: the toolchain,
if fewer methods get devirtualized after an update, and Chrome,
if an innocently looking change caused many hot methods become
virtual again.
The need to track devirtualized methods is not Chrome-specific,
but it's probably the only user of the pass at this time.

Summary:
It's useful to have some visibility about which call sites are devirtualized,
especially for debug purposes. Another use case is a regression test on the
application side (like, Chromium).

This intrinsic safely loads a function pointer from a virtual table pointer
using type metadata. This intrinsic is used to implement control flow integrity
in conjunction with virtual call optimization. The virtual call optimization
pass will optimize away llvm.type.checked.load intrinsics associated with
devirtualized calls, thereby removing the type check in cases where it is
not needed to enforce the control flow integrity constraint.
This patch also introduces the capability to copy type metadata between
global variables, and teaches the virtual call optimization pass to do so.
