This reverts commit 387620aa8c.
Currently the lto native object files have names like main.exe.lto.1.obj. In
PDB, those names are used as names for each compiland. Microsoft’s tool
SizeBench uses those names to present to users the size of each object files.
So, names like main.exe.lto.1.obj is not user friendly.
This patch makes the lto native object file names more readable by using
the bitcode file names as part of the file names. For example, if the input
bitcode file has path like "path/to/foo.obj", its corresponding lto native
object file path would be "path/to/main.exe.lto.foo.obj". Since the lto native
object file name only bothers PDB, this patch only changes the lld-linker's
behavior.

For simplicity we don't handle it yet). In addition, available_externally
GlobalAlias is the most straightforward implementation and retains the aliasee

See windows-vftable.ll: Windows vftable uses an alias pointing to a

See new tests ctor-dtor-alias2.ll: depending on whether the complete object

Allow such a mix-and-match with `if (GO->getComdat()->getName() == GO->getName()) NonPrevailingComdats.insert(GO->getComdat());`

This includes support for the assembly format, and for building the

To reduce space in both the bitcode format and the in memory index,

1. We keep a single vector of all uniq stack id hashes, and record the

2. When building the combined index during the LTO link, the callsite

This reverts commit 8ef3fd8d59.
I mentioned that GlobalAlias was not handled. It turns out GlobalAlias has to be handled in the same patch (as opposed to in a follow-up),
as otherwise clang codegen of C5/D5 constructor/destructor would regress (https://reviews.llvm.org/D135427#3869003).
Because of LLVM mangling escape sequence (through '\01' prefix), it is possible
for a single symbols two have two different IR representations.
For instance, consider @symbol and @"\01_symbol". On OSX, because of the system
mangling rules, these two IR names point are converted in the same final symbol
upon linkage.
LTO doesn't model this behavior, which may result in symbols being incorrectly
internalized (if all reference use the escaping sequence while the definition
doesn't).
The proper approach is probably to use the mangled name to compute GUID to
avoid the dual representation, but we can also avoid discarding symbols that are
bound to two different IR names. This is an approximation, but it's less
intrusive on the codebase.

Turning on opaque pointers has uncovered an issue with WPD where we currently pattern match away `assume(type.test)` in WPD so that a later LTT doesn't resolve the type test to undef and introduce an `assume(false)`. The pattern matching can fail in cases where we transform two `assume(type.test)`s into `assume(phi(type.test.1, type.test.2))`.
Currently we create `assume(type.test)` for all virtual calls that might be devirtualized. This is to support `-Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility`.
To prevent this, all virtual calls that may not be in the same LTO module instead use a new `llvm.public.type.test` intrinsic in place of the `llvm.type.test`. Then when we know if `-Wl,--lto-whole-program-visibility` is passed or not, we can either replace all `llvm.public.type.test` with `llvm.type.test`, or replace all `llvm.public.type.test` with `true`. This prevents WPD from trying to pattern match away `assume(type.test)` for public virtual calls when failing the pattern matching will result in miscompiles.

Allows ThinLTO indices to be written to disk on-the-fly/as-part-of “normal” linker execution. Previously ThinLTO indices could be written via --thinlto-index-only but that would cause the linker to exit early. For MLGO specifically, this enables saving the ThinLTO index files without having to restart the linker to collect data only available at later stages (i.e. output of --save-temps) of the linker's execution.
Note, this option does not currently work with:
--thinlto-object-suffix-replace, as this is intended to be used to consume minimized IR bitcode files while --thinlto-emit-index-files is intended to be run together with InProcessThinLTO (which cannot parse minimized IR).

To better reflect the meaning of the now-disambiguated {GlobalValue,
GlobalAlias}::getBaseObject after breaking off GlobalIFunc::getResolverFunction
(D109792), the function is renamed to getAliaseeObject.
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)

Clang self-build passes and 2nd stage build passes check-all
ninja check-all with newly added tests passing

asm("lea ff_h264_cabac_tables(%rip), %0" : ...);
```
`__attribute__((used))` is the recommended way to tell the compiler there may
be inline asm references, so the usage is perfectly fine. This patch
conservatively sets the `FB_used` bit on `llvm.compiler.used` symbols to work
around the IR symbol table limitation. Note: before D97446, Clang never emitted
symbols in the `llvm.compiler.used` list, so this change does not punish any
Clang emitted global object.
Without the patch, `ff_h264_cabac_tables` may be assigned to a non-external
partition and get internalized. Then we will get a linker error because the
`cabac.c` definition is not exposed.
