If we don't do this, some versions of LLVM (at least 17, experimentally)
will double-emit some error messages, which is how I noticed this. Given
that it seems to be costing some extra work, let's only request the
summary bitcode production if we'll actually bother writing it down,
otherwise skip it.
Typical uses of ThinLTO don't have any use for this as a standalone
file, but distributed ThinLTO uses this to make the linker phase more
efficient. With clang you'd do something like `clang -flto=thin
-fthin-link-bitcode=foo.indexing.o -c foo.c` and then get both foo.o
(full of bitcode) and foo.indexing.o (just the summary or index part of
the bitcode). That's then usable by a two-stage linking process that's
more friendly to distributed build systems like bazel, which is why I'm
working on this area.
I talked some to @teresajohnson about naming in this area, as things
seem to be a little confused between various blog posts and build
systems. "bitcode index" and "bitcode summary" tend to be a little too
ambiguous, and she tends to use "thin link bitcode" and "minimized
bitcode" (which matches the descriptions in LLVM). Since the clang
option is thin-link-bitcode, I went with that to try and not add a new
spelling in the world.
Per @dtolnay, you can work around the lack of this by using `lld
--thinlto-index-only` to do the indexing on regular .o files of
bitcode, but that is a bit wasteful on actions when we already have all
the information in rustc and could just write out the matching minimized
bitcode. I didn't test that at all in our infrastructure, because by the
time I learned that I already had this patch largely written.
C++ style guides I am aware of recommend specifically preferring = syntax
for any classes with fairly obvious constructors[^0] that do not perform
any complicated logic in their constructor. I contend that all constructors
that the `rustc_llvm` code uses qualify. This has only become more common
since C++ 17 guaranteed many cases of copy initialization elision.
The other detail is that I tried to ask another contributor with
infinitely more C++ experience than me (i.e. any) what this constructor
syntax was, and they thought it was a macro. I know of no other language
that has adopted this same syntax. As the rustc codebase features many
contributors experienced in many other languages, using a less...
unique... style has many other benefits in making this code more
lucid and maintainable, which is something it direly needs.

Adds initial support for DataFlowSanitizer to the Rust compiler. It
currently supports `-Zsanitizer-dataflow-abilist`. Additional options
for it can be passed to LLVM command line argument processor via LLVM
arguments using `llvm-args` codegen option (e.g.,
`-Cllvm-args=-dfsan-combine-pointer-labels-on-load=false`).

Currently LLVM uses emutls by default
for some targets (such as android, openbsd),
but rust does not use it, because `has_thread_local` is false.
This commit has some changes to allow users to enable emutls:
1. add `-Zhas-thread-local` flag to specify
that std uses `#[thread_local]` instead of pthread key.
2. when using emutls, decorate symbol names
to find thread local symbol correctly.
3. change `-Zforce-emulated-tls` to `-Ztls-model=emulated`
to explicitly specify whether to generate emutls.
Restore `#![no_builtins]` crates participation in LTO.
After #113716, we can make `#![no_builtins]` crates participate in LTO again.
`#![no_builtins]` with LTO does not result in undefined references to the error. I believe this type of issue won't happen again.
Fixes#72140. Fixes#112245. Fixes#110606. Fixes#105734. Fixes#96486. Fixes#108853. Fixes#108893. Fixes#78744. Fixes#91158. Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10118. Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-builtins/issues/347.
The `nightly-2023-07-20` version does not always reproduce problems due to changes in compiler-builtins, core, and user code. That's why this issue recurs and disappears.
Some issues were not tested due to the difficulty of reproducing them.

When building with LTO, builtin functions that are defined but whose calls have not been inserted yet, get internalized.
We need to prevent these symbols from being internalized at LTO time.

debuginfo: add compiler option to allow compressed debuginfo sections
LLVM already supports emitting compressed debuginfo. In debuginfo=full builds, the debug section is often a large amount of data, and it typically compresses very well (3x is not unreasonable.) We add a new knob to allow debuginfo to be compressed when the matching LLVM functionality is present. Like clang, if a known-but-disabled compression mechanism is requested, we disable compression and emit uncompressed debuginfo sections.
The API is different enough on older LLVMs we just pretend the support
is missing on LLVM older than 16.
lto: load bitcode sections by name
Upstream change
llvm/llvm-project@6b539f5eb8 changed `isSectionBitcode` works and it now only respects `.llvm.lto` sections instead of also `.llvmbc`, which it says was never intended to be used for LTO. We instead load sections by name, and sniff for raw bitcode by hand.
This is an alternative approach to #115136, where we tried the same thing using the `object` crate, but it got too fraught to continue.

`-Cllvm-args` usability improvement
fixes: #26338fixes: #115564
Two problems were found during playing with `-Cllvm-args`
1. When `llvm.link-shared` is set to `false` in `config.toml`, output of `rustc -C llvm-args='--help-list-hidden'` doesn't contain `--emit-dwarf-unwind` and `--emulated-tls`. When it is set to `true`, `rustc -C llvm-args='--help-list-hidden'` emits `--emit-dwarf-unwind`, but `--emulated-tls` is still missing.
2. Setting `-Cllvm-args=--emit-dwarf-unwind=always` doesn't take any effect, but `-Cllvm-args=-machine-outliner-reruns=3` does work.
### 1
Adding `RegisterCodeGenFlags` to register codegen flags fixed the first problem. `rustc -C llvm-args='--help-list-hidden'` emits full codegen flags including `--emit-dwarf-unwind` and `--emulated-tls`.
### 2
Constructing `TargetOptions` from `InitTargetOptionsFromCodeGenFlags` in `LLVMRustCreateTargetMachine` fixed the second problem. The `LLVMRustSetLLVMOptions` calls `ParseCommandLineOptions` which parses given `llvm-args`. For options like `machine-outliner-reruns`, it just works, since the codegen logic directly consumes the parsing result:
[machine-outliner-reruns register](0537f6354c/llvm/lib/CodeGen/MachineOutliner.cpp (L114))
[machine-outliner-reruns consumption](0537f6354c/llvm/lib/CodeGen/MachineOutliner.cpp (L1138))
But for flags defined in `TargetOptions` and `MCTargetOptions` to take effect, constructing them with `InitTargetOptionsFromCodeGenFlags` is essential, or the parsing result is just not consumed. Similar patterns can be observed in [lli](0537f6354c/llvm/tools/llc/llc.cpp (L494)), [llc](0537f6354c/llvm/tools/lli/lli.cpp (L517)), etc.
Add CL and CMD into to pdb debug info
Partial fix for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/96475
The Arg0 and CommandLineArgs of the MCTargetOptions cpp class are not set within bb548f9645/compiler/rustc_llvm/llvm-wrapper/PassWrapper.cpp (L378)
This causes LLVM to not neither output any compiler path (cl) nor the arguments that were used when invoking it (cmd) in the PDB file.
This fix adds the missing information to the target machine so LLVM can use it.

update llvm-wrapper include to silence deprecation warning
Includes of `include/llvm/Support/Host.h` now emit a deprecated warning: `warning: This header is deprecated, please use llvm/TargetParser/Host.h`.
I don't believe we are using this include.
I don't believe we need to bump the `download-ci-llvm` stamp since these warnings are emitted while building the `llvm-wrapper`.
