rustc: Handle linker diagnostics from LLVM
Previously linker diagnostic were being hidden when two modules were linked
together but failed to link. This commit fixes the situation by ensuring that we
have a diagnostic handler installed and also adds support for handling linker
diagnostics.
Fix -Wpessimizing-move warnings in rustllvm/PassWrapper
These are producing warnings when building rustc (`warning: moving a local object in a return statement prevents copy elision [-Wpessimizing-move]`).

rustc: Work around an upstream wasm ThinLTO bug
This commit implements a workaround for an [upstream LLVM bug][1] where custom
sections were accidentally duplicated amongst codegen units when ThinLTO passes
were performed. This is due to the fact that custom sections for wasm are stored
as metadata nodes which are automatically imported into modules when ThinLTO
happens. The fix here is to forcibly delete the metadata node from imported
modules before LLVM has a chance to try to copy it over.

This commit removes a hack in our ThinLTO passes which removes available
externally functions manually. The [upstream bug][1] has long since been fixed,
so we should be able to rely on LLVM natively for this now!

Preliminary work for incremental ThinLTO.
Since implementing incremental ThinLTO is a bit more involved than I initially thought, I'm splitting out some of the things that already work. This PR (1) adds a way accessing some ThinLTO information in `rustc` and (2) does some cleanup around CGU/object file naming (which makes things quite a bit nicer).
This is probably best reviewed one commit at a time.
Upgrade to LLVM's master branch (LLVM 7)
### Current status
~~Blocked on a [performance regression](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/51966#issuecomment-402320576). The performance regression has an [upstream LLVM issue](https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38047) and has also [been bisected](https://reviews.llvm.org/D44282) to an LLVM revision.~~
Ready to merge!

This commit upgrades the main LLVM submodule to LLVM's current master branch.
The LLD submodule is updated in tandem as well as compiler-builtins.
Along the way support was also added for LLVM 7's new features. This primarily
includes the support for custom section concatenation natively in LLD so we now
add wasm custom sections in LLVM IR rather than having custom support in rustc
itself for doing so.
Some other miscellaneous changes are:
* We now pass `--gc-sections` to `wasm-ld`
* The optimization level is now passed to `wasm-ld`
* A `--stack-first` option is passed to LLD to have stack overflow always cause
a trap instead of corrupting static data
* The wasm target for LLVM switched to `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
* The syntax for aligned pointers has changed in LLVM IR and tests are updated
to reflect this.
* ~~The `thumbv6m-none-eabi` target is disabled due to an [LLVM bug][llbug]~~
Nowadays we've been mostly only upgrading whenever there's a major release of
LLVM but enough changes have been happening on the wasm target that there's been
growing motivation for quite some time now to upgrade out version of LLD. To
upgrade LLD, however, we need to upgrade LLVM to avoid needing to build yet
another version of LLVM on the builders.
The revision of LLVM in use here is arbitrarily chosen. We will likely need to
continue to update it over time if and when we discover bugs. Once LLVM 7 is
fully released we can switch to that channel as well.

The crash that happened in #23566 doesn't happen anymore with the LLVM mergefunc
pass enabled and it hugely reduces code size (for example it shaves off 10% of the
final Servo executable). This patch reenables it.
The LLVM PassManager has a PrepareForThinLTO flag, which is intended
when compilation occurs in conjunction with linking by ThinLTO. The
flag has two effects:
* The NameAnonGlobal pass is run after all other passes, which
ensures that all globals have a name.
* In optimized builds, a number of late passes (mainly related to
vectorization and unrolling) are disabled, on the rationale that
these a) will increase codesize of the intermediate artifacts
and b) will be run by ThinLTO again anyway.
This patch enables the use of PrepareForThinLTO if Thin or ThinLocal
linking is used.
The background for this change is the CI failure in #49479, which
we assume to be caused by the NameAnonGlobal pass not being run.
As this changes which passes LLVM runs, this might have performance
(or other) impact, so we want to land this separately.
In `LLVMRustHasFeature()`, rather than using `MCInfo->getFeatureTable()`
that is specific to Rust's LLVM fork, we can use this in LLVM 6:
/// Check whether the subtarget features are enabled/disabled as per
/// the provided string, ignoring all other features.
bool checkFeatures(StringRef FS) const;
Now rustc using external LLVM can also have `target_feature`.
implement minmax intrinsics
This adds the `simd_{fmin,fmax}` intrinsics, which do a vertical (lane-wise) `min`/`max` for floating point vectors that's equivalent to Rust's `min`/`max` for `f32`/`f64`.
It might make sense to make `{f32,f64}::{min,max}` use the `minnum` and `minmax` intrinsics as well.
---
~~HELP: I need some help with these. Either I should go to sleep or there must be something that I must be missing. AFAICT I am calling the `maxnum` builder correctly, yet rustc/LLVM seem to insert a call to `llvm.minnum` there instead...~~ EDIT: Rust's LLVM version is too old :/
Add basic PGO support.
This PR adds two mutually exclusive options for profile usage and generation using LLVM's instruction profile generation (the same as clang uses), `-C pgo-use` and `-C pgo-gen`.
See each commit for details.
This commit updates our Fat LTO logic to tweak our custom wrapper around LLVM's
"link modules" functionality. Previously whenever the
`LLVMRustLinkInExternalBitcode` function was called it would call LLVM's
`Linker::linkModules` wrapper. Internally this would crate an instance of a
`Linker` which internally creates an instance of an `IRMover`. Unfortunately for
us the creation of `IRMover` is somewhat O(n) with the input module. This means
that every time we linked a module it was O(n) with respect to the entire module
we had built up!
Now the modules we build up during LTO are quite large, so this quickly started
creating an O(n^2) problem for us! Discovered in #48025 it turns out this has
always been a problem and we just haven't noticed it. It became particularly
worse recently though due to most libraries having 16x more object files than
they previously did (1 -> 16).
This commit fixes this performance issue by preserving the `Linker` instance
across all links into the main LLVM module. This means we only create one
`IRMover` and allows LTO to progress much speedier.
From the `cargo-cache` project in #48025 a **full build** locally when from
5m15s to 2m24s. Looking at the timing logs each object file was linked in in
single-digit millisecond rather than hundreds, clearly being a nice improvement!
Closes#48025
The following submodules have been updated for a new version of LLVM:
- `src/llvm`
- `src/libcompiler_builtins` - transitively contains compiler-rt
- `src/dlmalloc`
This also updates the docker container for dist-i686-freebsd as the old 16.04
container is no longer capable of building LLVM. The
compiler-rt/compiler-builtins and dlmalloc updates are pretty routine without
much interesting happening, but the LLVM update here is of particular note.
Unlike previous updates I haven't cherry-picked all existing patches we had on
top of our LLVM branch as we have a [huge amount][patches4] and have at this
point forgotten what most of them are for. Instead I started from the current
`release_60` branch in LLVM and only applied patches that were necessary to get
our tests working and building.
The current set of custom rustc-specific patches included in this LLVM update are:
* rust-lang/llvm@1187443 - this is how we actually implement
`cfg(target_feature)` for now and continues to not be upstreamed. While a
hazard for SIMD stabilization this commit is otherwise keeping the status
quo of a small rustc-specific feature.
* rust-lang/llvm@013f2ec - this is a rustc-specific optimization that we haven't
upstreamed, notably teaching LLVM about our allocation-related routines (which
aren't malloc/free). Once we stabilize the global allocator routines we will
likely want to upstream this patch, but for now it seems reasonable to keep it
on our fork.
* rust-lang/llvm@a65bbfd - I found this necessary to fix compilation of LLVM in
our 32-bit linux container. I'm not really sure why it's necessary but my
guess is that it's because of the absolutely ancient glibc that we're using.
In any case it's only updating pieces we're not actually using in LLVM so I'm
hoping it'll turn out alright. This doesn't seem like something we'll want to
upstream.c
* rust-lang/llvm@77ab1f0 - this is what's actually enabling LLVM to build in our
i686-freebsd container, I'm not really sure what's going on but we for sure
probably don't want to upstream this and otherwise it seems not too bad for
now at least.
* rust-lang/llvm@9eb9267 - we currently suffer on MSVC from an [upstream bug]
which although diagnosed to a particular revision isn't currently fixed
upstream (and the bug itself doesn't seem too active). This commit is a
partial revert of the suspected cause of this regression (found via a
bisection). I'm sort of hoping that this eventually gets fixed upstream with a
similar fix (which we can replace in our branch), but for now I'm also hoping
it's a relatively harmless change to have.
After applying these patches (plus one [backport] which should be [backported
upstream][llvm-back]) I believe we should have all tests working on all
platforms in our current test suite. I'm like 99% sure that we'll need some more
backports as issues are reported for LLVM 6 when this propagates through
nightlies, but that's sort of just par for the course nowadays!
In any case though some extra scrutiny of the patches here would definitely be
welcome, along with scrutiny of the "missing patches" like a [change to pass
manager order](rust-lang/llvm@2717444753), [another change to pass manager
order](rust-lang/llvm@c782febb7b), some [compile fixes for
sparc](rust-lang/llvm@1a83de63c4), and some [fixes for
solaris](rust-lang/llvm@c2bfe0abb).

The update to LLVM 6 is desirable for a number of reasons, notably:
* This'll allow us to keep up with the upstream wasm backend, picking up new
features as they start landing.
* Upstream LLVM has fixed a number of SIMD-related compilation errors,
especially around AVX-512 and such.
* There's a few assorted known bugs which are fixed in LLVM 5 and aren't fixed
in the LLVM 4 branch we're using.
* Overall it's not a great idea to stagnate with our codegen backend!
This update is mostly powered by #47730 which is allowing us to update LLVM
*independent* of the version of LLVM that Emscripten is locked to. This means
that when compiling code for Emscripten we'll still be using the old LLVM 4
backend, but when compiling code for any other target we'll be using the new
LLVM 6 target. Once Emscripten updates we may no longer need this distinction,
but we're not sure when that will happen!
