Currently when the --thinlto-emit-index-files is used with LLD and a
thin archive is passed containing references to object files to link
against where the object files are in a different folder than the thin
archive and some of the archives aren't linked against (ie stay lazy),
the empty index file writer ends up trying to write to a path that
doesn't exist. This patch changes the behavior of that function to use
the path of the obj member of the BitcodeFile object rather than just
the path of the BitcodeFile object itself, which matches the behavior of
the default (non-lazy) case.

Add LLVM_LIBRARY_VISIBILITY to remove unneeded GOT and unique_ptr
indirection. We can move other global variables into ctx without
indirection concern. In the long term we may consider passing Ctx
as a parameter to various functions and eliminate global state as
much as possible and then remove `Ctx::reset`.
Symbol::replace intends to overwrite a few fields (mostly Elf{32,64}_Sym
fields), but the implementation copies all fields then restores some old fields.
This is error-prone and wasteful. Add Symbol::overwrite to copy just the
needed fields and add other overwrite member functions to copy the extra
fields.
They may modify thinlto optimization.
This patch only extends support for `-mllvm`. There is another way to
pass llvm flags, `-plugin-opt`, but its processing is different and will
be provided in a subsequent patch.

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).
--thinlto-prefix-replace support is left unimplemented but can be implemented if needed

LTO code may end up mixing bitcode files from various sources varying in
their use of opaque pointer types. The current strategy to decide
between opaque / typed pointers upon the first bitcode file loaded does
not work here, since we could be loading a non-opaque bitcode file first
and would then be unable to load any files with opaque pointer types
later.
So for LTO this:
- Adds an `lto::Config::OpaquePointer` option and enforces an upfront
decision between the two modes.
- Adds `-opaque-pointers`/`-no-opaque-pointers` options to the gold
plugin; disabled by default.
- `--opaque-pointers`/`--no-opaque-pointers` options with
`-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers`/`-plugin-opt=-no-opaque-pointers`
aliases to lld; disabled by default.
- Adds an `-lto-opaque-pointers` option to the `llvm-lto2` tool.
- Changes the clang driver to pass `-plugin-opt=-opaque-pointers` to
the linker in LTO modes when clang was configured with opaque
pointers enabled by default.

We were previously not correctly wrapping symbols that were only
produced during LTO codegen and unreferenced before then, or symbols
only referenced from such symbols. The root cause was that we weren't
marking the wrapped symbol as used if we only saw the use after LTO
codegen, leading to the failed wrapping.
Fix this by explicitly tracking whether a symbol will become referenced
after wrapping is done. We can use this property to tell LTO to preserve
such symbols, instead of overload isUsedInRegularObj for this purpose.
Since we're no longer setting isUsedInRegularObj for all symbols which
will be wrapped, its value at the time of performing the wrapping in the
symbol table will accurately reflect whether the symbol was actually
used in an object (including in an LTO-generated object), and we can
propagate that value to the wrapped symbol and thereby ensure we wrap
correctly.
This incorrect wrapping was the only scenario I was aware of where we
produced an invalid PLT relocation, which D123985 started diagnosing,
and with it fixed, we lose the test for that diagnosis. I think it's
worth keeping the diagnosis though, in case we run into other issues in
the future which would be caught by it.
Fixes PR50675.

Currently `this->getName() == newSym.getName()`.
By keeping the old nameData/nameSize, newSym's nameData/nameSize will be
ignored. The call sites can avoid calling getName().
printTraceSymbol needs to take the symbol name since `other`'s name is empty.
A STV_PROTECTED shared definition does not set exportDynamic of a defined
symbol. This is on the basis that a protected definition cannot be preempted so
the export is unnecessary. However, the condition is imperfect because we don't
know whether the shared object was built with a symbolic option. Since dropping
the condition simplifies code and matches GNU ld, let's do it.
Placeholders (-y and redirectSymbols removed versioned symbols) are very rare and
the check just makes symbol table iteration slower. Most iterations filter out
placeholders anyway, so this change just drops the filter behavior.
For "Add symbols to symtabs", we need to ensure that redirectSymbols sets
isUsedInRegularObj to false when making a symbol placeholder, to avoid an
assertion failure in SymbolTableSection<ELFT>::writeTo.
My .text is 2KiB smaller. The speed-up linking chrome is 0.x%.
The new `lazy` state is the inverse of the previous `LazyObjFile::extracted`.
There are many advantages:
* previously when a LazyObjFile was extracted, a new ObjFile/BitcodeFile was created; now the file is reused, just with `lazy` cleared
* avoid the confusing transfer of `symbols` from LazyObjFile to the new file
* the `incompatible file:` diagnostic is unified with `is incompatible with`
* simpler code, smaller executable (6200+ bytes smaller on x86-64)
* make eager parsing feasible (for parallel section/symbol table initialization)
The canonical term is "extract" (GNU ld documentation, Solaris's `-z *extract`
options). Avoid inventing a term and match --why-extract. (ld64 prefers "load"
but the word is overloaded too much)

Currenlty PseudoProbeInserter is a pass conditioned on a target switch. It works well with a single clang invocation. It doesn't work so well when the backend is called separately (i.e, through the linker or llc), where user has always to pass -pseudo-probe-for-profiling explictly. I'm making the pass a default pass that requires no command line arg to trigger, but will be actually run depending on whether the CU comes with `llvm.pseudo_probe_desc` metadata.

Bitcode writer does not flush buffer until the end by default. This is
fine to small bitcode files. When -flto,--plugin-opt=emit-llvm,-gmlt are
used, the final bitcode file is large, for example, >8G. Keeping all
data in memory consumes a lot of memory.
This change allows bitcode writer flush data to disk early when buffered
data size is above some threshold. This is only enabled when lld emits
LLVM bitcode.
One issue to address is backpatching bitcode: subblock length, function
body indexes, meta data indexes need to backfill. If buffer can be
flushed partially, we introduced raw_fd_stream that supports
read/seek/write, and enables backpatching bitcode flushed in disk.

This change introduces an LLD switch --thinlto-single-module to allow compiling only a part of the input modules. This is specifically enables:
1. Fast investigating/debugging modules of interest without spending time on compiling unrelated modules.
2. Compiler debug dump with -mllvm -debug-only= for specific modules.
It will be useful for large applications which has 1K+ input modules for thinLTO.
The switch can be combined with `--lto-obj-path=` or `--lto-emit-asm` to obtain intermediate object files or assembly files. So far the module name matching is implemented as a fuzzy name lookup where the modules with name containing the switch value are compiled.
E.g,
Command:
ld.lld main.o thin.a --thinlto-single-module=thin.a --lto-obj-path=single.o

Command:

That unless the user requested an output object (--lto-obj-path), the an
unused empty combined module is not emitted.
This changed is helpful for some target (ex. RISCV-V) which encoded the

info so the linker would get the linking error during merging
