Reland #120514 after 2f6e3df08a8b7cd29273980e47310cf09c6fdbd8 fixed iteration order issue and libstdc++/libc++ differences. --- Both options instruct the linker to optimize section layout with the following goals: * `--bp-compression-sort=[data|function|both]`: Improve Lempel-Ziv compression by grouping similar sections together, resulting in a smaller compressed app size. * `--bp-startup-sort=function --irpgo-profile=<file>`: Utilize a temporal profile file to reduce page faults during program startup. The linker determines the section order by considering three groups: * Function sections ordered according to the temporal profile (`--irpgo-profile=`), prioritizing early-accessed and frequently accessed functions. * Function sections. Sections containing similar functions are placed together, maximizing compression opportunities. * Data sections. Similar data sections are placed together. Within each group, the sections are ordered using the Balanced Partitioning algorithm. The linker constructs a bipartite graph with two sets of vertices: sections and utility vertices. * For profile-guided function sections: + The number of utility vertices is determined by the symbol order within the profile file. + If `--bp-compression-sort-startup-functions` is specified, extra utility vertices are allocated to prioritize nearby function similarity. * For sections ordered for compression: Utility vertices are determined by analyzing k-mers of the section content and relocations. The call graph profile is disabled during this optimization. When `--symbol-ordering-file=` is specified, sections described in that file are placed earlier.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called "LLVM". This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
