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

Currently, opaque pointers are supported in two forms: The
-force-opaque-pointers mode, where all pointers are opaque and
typed pointers do not exist. And as a simple ptr type that can
coexist with typed pointers.
This patch removes support for the mixed mode. You either get
typed pointers, or you get opaque pointers, but not both. In the
(current) default mode, using ptr is forbidden. In -opaque-pointers
mode, all pointers are opaque.
The motivation here is that the mixed mode introduces additional
issues that don't exist in fully opaque mode. D105155 is an example
of a design problem. Looking at D109259, it would probably need
additional work to support mixed mode (e.g. to generate GEPs for
typed base but opaque result). Mixed mode will also end up
inserting many casts between i8* and ptr, which would require
significant additional work to consistently avoid.
I don't think the mixed mode is particularly valuable, as it
doesn't align with our end goal. The only thing I've found it to
be moderately useful for is adding some opaque pointer tests in
between typed pointer tests, but I think we can live without that.

Functions can have a personality function, as well as prefix and
prologue data as additional operands. Unused operands are assigned
a dummy value of i1* null. This patch addresses multiple issues in
use-list order preservation for these:
* Fix verify-uselistorder to also enumerate the dummy values.
This means that now use-list order values of these values are
shuffled even if there is no other mention of i1* null in the
module. This results in failures of Assembler/call-arg-is-callee.ll,
Assembler/opaque-ptr.ll and Bitcode/use-list-order2.ll.
* The use-list order prediction in ValueEnumerator does not take
into account the fact that a global may use a value more than
once and leaves uses in the same global effectively unordered.
We should be comparing the operand number here, as we do for
the more general case.
* While we enumerate all operands of a function together (which
seems sensible to me), the bitcode reader would first resolve
prefix data for all function, then prologue data for all
functions, then personality functions for all functions. Change
this to resolve all operands for a given function together
instead.

The purpose of __attribute__((disable_sanitizer_instrumentation)) is to
prevent all kinds of sanitizer instrumentation applied to a certain
function, Objective-C method, or global variable.
The no_sanitize(...) attribute drops instrumentation checks, but may
still insert code preventing false positive reports. In some cases
though (e.g. when building Linux kernel with -fsanitize=kernel-memory

In the textual format, `noduplicates` means no COMDAT/section group
deduplication is performed. Therefore, if both sets of sections are retained, and
they happen to define strong external symbols with the same names,
there will be a duplicate definition linker error.
In PE/COFF, the selection kind lowers to `IMAGE_COMDAT_SELECT_NODUPLICATES`.
The name describes the corollary instead of the immediate semantics. The name
can cause confusion to other binary formats (ELF, wasm) which have implemented/
want to implement the "no deduplication" selection kind. Rename it to be clearer.

For attributes in legacy bitcode that are now typed, explicitly

Use the elementtype attribute introduced in D105407 for the

This patch:
* Adds a verifier check that the attribute is required.
* Adds it in the IRBuilder methods for these intrinsics.
* Autoupgrades old bitcode without the attribute.
* Updates the lowering code to use the attribute rather than
the pointer element type.

We really ought to support no_sanitize("coverage") in line with other
sanitizers. This came up again in discussions on the Linux-kernel
mailing lists, because we currently do workarounds using objtool to
remove coverage instrumentation. Since that support is only on x86, to
continue support coverage instrumentation on other architectures, we
must support selectively disabling coverage instrumentation via function
attributes.
Unfortunately, for SanitizeCoverage, it has not been implemented as a
sanitizer via fsanitize= and associated options in Sanitizers.def, but
rolls its own option fsanitize-coverage. This meant that we never got
"automatic" no_sanitize attribute support.
Implement no_sanitize attribute support by special-casing the string
"coverage" in the NoSanitizeAttr implementation. To keep the feature as
unintrusive to existing IR generation as possible, define a new negative
function attribute NoSanitizeCoverage to propagate the information
through to the instrumentation pass.

This extends any frame record created in the function to include that
parameter, passed in X22.
The new record looks like [X22, FP, LR] in memory, and FP is stored with 0b0001
in bits 63:60 (CodeGen assumes they are 0b0000 in normal operation). The effect
of this is that tools walking the stack should expect to see one of three
values there:
* 0b0000 => a normal, non-extended record with just [FP, LR]
* 0b0001 => the extended record [X22, FP, LR]
* 0b1111 => kernel space, and a non-extended record.
All other values are currently reserved.
If compiling for arm64e this context pointer is address-discriminated with the
discriminator 0xc31a and the DB (process-specific) key.
There is also an "i8** @llvm.swift.async.context.addr()" intrinsic providing
front-ends access to this slot (and forcing its creation initialized to nullptr
if necessary).
The opaque pointer type is essentially just a normal pointer type with a
null pointee type.
This also adds support for the opaque pointer type to the bitcode
reader/writer, as well as to textual IR.
To avoid confusion with existing pointer types, we disallow creating a
pointer to an opaque pointer.
Opaque pointer types should not be widely used at this point since many
parts of LLVM still do not support them. The next steps are to add some
very simple use cases of opaque pointers to make sure they work, then
start pretending that all pointers are opaque pointers and see what
breaks.

Clang FE currently has hot/cold function attribute. But we only have

This patch adds support of hot function attribute to LLVM IR. This

Currently .hot and .unlikely suffix only are added in PGO (Sample PGO)
compilation (through isFunctionHotInCallGraph and
isFunctionColdInCallGraph).
This patch changes the behavior. The new behavior is:
(1) If the user annotates a function as hot or isFunctionHotInCallGraph
is true, this function will be marked as hot. Otherwise,
(2) If the user annotates a function as cold or
isFunctionColdInCallGraph is true, this function will be marked as
cold.
The changes are:
(1) user annotated function attribute will used in setting function
section prefix/suffix.
(2) hot attribute overwrites profile count based hotness.
(3) profile count based hotness overwrite user annotated cold attribute.
The intention for these changes is to provide the user a way to mark
certain function as hot in cases where training input is hard to cover
all the hot functions.
