<title>[llvm] annotate interfaces in llvm/Target for DLL export (#143615)</title>

<id>19658d14749876cf0b6633f210c923be3709323b</id>
<content type='text'>
## Purpose

This patch is one in a series of code-mods that annotate LLVM’s public
interface for export. This patch annotates the `llvm/Target` library.
These annotations currently have no meaningful impact on the LLVM build;
however, they are a prerequisite to support an LLVM Windows DLL (shared
library) build.

## Background

This effort is tracked in #109483. Additional context is provided in
[this
discourse](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/psa-annotating-llvm-public-interface/85307),
and documentation for `LLVM_ABI` and related annotations is found in the
LLVM repo
[here](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/docs/InterfaceExportAnnotations.rst).

A sub-set of these changes were generated automatically using the
[Interface Definition Scanner (IDS)](https://github.com/compnerd/ids)
tool, followed formatting with `git clang-format`.

The bulk of this change is manual additions of `LLVM_ABI` to
`LLVMInitializeX` functions defined in .cpp files under llvm/lib/Target.
Adding `LLVM_ABI` to the function implementation is required here
because they do not `#include "llvm/Support/TargetSelect.h"`, which
contains the declarations for this functions and was already updated
with `LLVM_ABI` in a previous patch. I considered patching these files
with `#include "llvm/Support/TargetSelect.h"` instead, but since
TargetSelect.h is a large file with a bunch of preprocessor x-macro
stuff in it I was concerned it would unnecessarily impact compile times.

In addition, a number of unit tests under llvm/unittests/Target required
additional dependencies to make them build correctly against the LLVM
DLL on Windows using MSVC.

## Validation

Local builds and tests to validate cross-platform compatibility. This
included llvm, clang, and lldb on the following configurations:

- Windows with MSVC
- Windows with Clang
- Linux with GCC
- Linux with Clang
- Darwin with Clang</content>

This reduces dependencies on `llvm-tblgen` so much.

`CodeGenTypes` depends on `Support` at the moment.
Be careful to append deps on this, since Targets' tablegens
depend on this.

This is rework of;
  - D30046 (LLT)

Since I have introduced `llvm-min-tblgen` as D146352, `llvm-tblgen`
may depend on `CodeGen`.

`LowLevlType.h` originally belonged to `CodeGen`. Almost all userse are
still under `CodeGen` or `Target`. I think `CodeGen` is the right place
to put `LowLevelType.h`.

`MachineValueType.h` may be moved as well. (later, D149024)

I have made many modules depend on `CodeGen`. It is consistent but
inefficient. It will be split out later, D148769

Besides, I had to isolate MVT and LLT in modmap, since
`llvm::PredicateInfo` clashes between `TableGen/CodeGenSchedule.h`
and `Transforms/Utils/PredicateInfo.h`.
(I think better to introduce namespace llvm::TableGen)

Depends on D145937, D146352, and D148768.

These targets use `MCInst`, but don't explicitly link
to the library providing it (MC), and just rely on it
being pulled transitively through e.g. MCDisassembler,
but that only pulls includes, and does not link to it.

Case in point, when i add explicit destructor to `MCInst`,
defined in `.cpp`, these targets were failing to link.

All LLVM backends use MCDisassembler as a base class for their
instruction decoders. Use "const MCDisassembler *" for the decoder
instead of "const void *". Remove unnecessary static casts.

This moves the registry higher in the LLVM library dependency stack.
Every client of the target registry needs to link against MC anyway to
actually use the target, so we might as well move this out of Support.

This allows us to ensure that Support doesn't have includes from MC/*.

No longer rely on an external tool to build the llvm component layout.

Instead, leverage the existing `add_llvm_componentlibrary` cmake function and
introduce `add_llvm_component_group` to accurately describe component behavior.

These function store extra properties in the created targets. These properties
are processed once all components are defined to resolve library dependencies
and produce the header expected by llvm-config.

<title>CMake: Make most target symbols hidden by default</title>

<content type='text'>
Summary:
For builds with LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
this change makes all symbols in the target specific libraries hidden
by default.

A new macro called LLVM_EXTERNAL_VISIBILITY has been added to mark symbols in these
libraries public, which is mainly needed for the definitions of the
LLVMInitialize* functions.

This patch reduces the number of public symbols in libLLVM.so by about
25%.  This should improve load times for the dynamic library and also
make abi checker tools, like abidiff require less memory when analyzing
libLLVM.so

One side-effect of this change is that for builds with
LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON some unittests that
access symbols that are no longer public will need to be statically linked.

Before and after public symbol counts (using gcc 8.2.1, ld.bfd 2.31.1):
nm before/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
36221
nm after/libLLVM-9svn.so | grep ' [A-Zuvw] ' | wc -l
