We've noticed that for large builds executing thin-link can take on the
order of 10s of minutes. We are only using a single thread to write the
sharded indices and import files for each input bitcode file. While we
need to ensure the index file produced lists modules in a deterministic
order, that doesn't prevent us from executing the rest of the work in
parallel.
In this change we use a thread pool to execute as much of the backend's
work as possible in parallel. In local testing on a machine with 80
cores, this change makes a thin-link for ~100,000 input files run in ~2
minutes. Without this change it takes upwards of 10 minutes.

This matches ELF (#97480). clang cc1 -emit-llvm and -emit-llvm-bc for
ThinLTO backend compilation also uses `PreCodeGenModuleHook`.
While here, replace deprecated %T with %t.
Pull Request: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/98589
Following the commit of #83972 which added COFF support for SPGO, this
patch ports the support of the option -lto-sample-profile that was only
available in the ELF variant of LLD to the COFF variant to enable
running the SPGO passes in the LTO/thinLTO pipelines.
This adds support for generating Chrome-tracing .json profile traces in
the LLD COFF driver.
Also add the necessary time scopes, so that the profile trace shows in
great detail which tasks are executed.
As an example, this is what we see when linking a Unreal Engine
executable:
This will make it easy for callers to see issues with and fix up calls
to createTargetMachine after a future change to the params of
TargetMachine.
This matches other nearby enums.
For downstream users, this should be a fairly straightforward
replacement,
e.g. s/CodeGenOpt::Aggressive/CodeGenOptLevel::Aggressive
or s/CGFT_/CodeGenFileType::
This patch added /dwodir to lld/COFF which is equivalent to lld/ELF
option -plugin-opt=dwo_dir=. This option tells LTO backend to create
dwo directory and files and all dwo files will be in it. Otherwise all
dwarf sections will be embeded into image even if -gsplit-dwarf is
specified when using LTO.

Currently, the --thinlto-prefix-replace="oldpath;newpath" option is used during
distributed ThinLTO thin links to specify the mapping of the input bitcode object
files' directory tree (oldpath) to the directory tree (newpath) used for both:
1) the output files of the thin link itself (the .thinlto.bc index files and the
optional .imports files)
2) the specified object file paths written to the response file given in the
--thinlto-index-only=${response} option, which is used by the final native
link and must match the paths of the native object files that will be
produced by ThinLTO backend compiles.
This patch expands the --thinlto-prefix-replace option to allow a separate directory
tree mapping to be specified for the object file paths written to the response file
(number 2 above). This is important to support builds and build systems where the
same output directory may not be written by multiple build actions (e.g. the thin link
and the ThinLTO backend compiles).
The new format is: --thinlto-prefix-replace="origpath;outpath[;objpath]"
This replaces the origpath directory tree of the thin link input files with
outpath when writing the thin link index and imports outputs (number 1
above). If objpath is specified it replaces origpath of the input files with
objpath when writing the response file (number 2 above), otherwise it
falls back to the old behavior of using outpath for this as well.

Allow controlling the CodeGenOpt::Level independent of the LTO
optimization level in LLD via new options for the COFF, ELF, MachO, and
wasm frontends to lld. Most are spelled as --lto-CGO[0-3], but COFF is
spelled as -opt:lldltocgo=[0-3].
See D57422 for discussion surrounding the issue of how to set the CG opt
level. The ultimate goal is to let each function control its CG opt
level, but until then the current default means it is impossible to
specify a CG opt level lower than 2 while using LTO. This option gives
the user a means to control it for as long as it is not handled on a
per-function basis.

This reverts commit 387620aa8cea33174b6c1fb80c1af713fee732ac.
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.

Like D134013, but for COFF and Mach-O.
Also expand the ELF test a bit. I at first didn't realize that `getValue()` for
`-mllvm -foo=bar` would return `-foo=bar` instead of just `bar`, and so
I wrote the test to check if we indeed get this wrong. We don't, but
having the test for it seems nice, so I'm including it.

A specific case for ThinLTO cache pruning is that the current build is huge, and the cache wasn't big enough to hold the intermediate object files of that build. So in doing that build, a file would be cached, and later in that same build it would be evicted. This was significantly decreasing the effectiveness of the cache. By giving this warning, the user could identify the required cache size/files and improve ThinLTO link speed.

When enable CSPGO for ThinLTO, there are profile cfg mismatch warnings that will cause lld-link errors (with /WX)
due to source changes (e.g. `#if` code runs for profile generation but not for profile use)
To disable it we have to use an internal "/mllvm:-no-pgo-warn-mismatch" option.
In contrast clang uses option ”-Wno-backend-plugin“ to avoid such warnings and gcc has an explicit "-Wno-coverage-mismatch" option.
Add "lto-pgo-warn-mismatch" option to lld COFF/ELF to help turn on/off the profile mismatch warnings explicitly when build with ThinLTO and CSPGO.

Summary:
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
ABI info in IR module flags (target-abi). Empty unused module has no ABI
info so the linker would get the linking error during merging
incompatible ABIs.
