We have reworked the bitcode linking option to no longer link twice if
post-optimization linking is requested. As such, we no longer need to
conditionally link bitcodes supplied via -mlink-bitcode-file, as there
is no danger of linking them twice
|
|
Currently, when the -relink-builtin-bitcodes-postop option is used we
link builtin bitcodes twice: once before optimization, and again after
optimization.
With this change, we omit the pre-opt linking when the option is set,
and we rename the option to the following:
-Xclang -mlink-builtin-bitcodes-postopt
(-Xclang -mno-link-builtin-bitcodes-postopt)
The goal of this change is to reduce compile time. We do lose the
theoretical benefits of pre-opt linking, but in practice these are small
than the overhead of linking twice. However we may be able to address
this in a future patch by adjusting the position of the builtin-bitcode
linking pass.
Compilations not setting the option are unaffected

(#81693)
We recently implemented a new option allowing relinking of bitcode
modules via the "-mllvm -relink-builtin-bitcode-postop"
option.
This implementation relied on llvm::CloneModule() in order to pass
copies to modules and preserve the original modules for later relinking.
However, cloning modules has been found to be prohibitively expensive,
significantly increasing compilation time for large bitcode libraries.
In this patch, we shift the relink option implementation to instead link
the original modules initially, and reload modules from the file system
if relinking is requested. This approach results in significantly
reduced overhead.
We accomplish this by creating a new ReloadModules() routine that can be
called from a BackendConsumer class, to mimic the behavior of
ASTConsumer's loadLinkModules(), but without access to the
CompilerInstance.
Because loading the bitcodes from the filesystem requires access to the
FileManager class, we also forward a reference to the CompilerInstance
class to the BackendConsumer. This mirrors what is already done for
several CompilerInstance members, such as TargetOptions and
CodeGenOptions.
Finally, we needed to add a const specifier to the
FileManager::getBufferForFile() routine to allow it to be called using
the const reference returned from CompilerInstance::getFileManager()
|

In this patch, we create a new ModulePass that mimics the LinkInModules
API from CodeGenAction.cpp, and a new command line option to enable the
pass. As part of the implementation, we needed to refactor the
BackendConsumer class definition into a new separate header (instead of
embedded in CodeGenAction.cpp). With this new pass, we can now re-link
bitcodes supplied via the -mlink-built-in bitcodes as part of the
RunOptimizationPipeline.
With the re-linking pass, we now handle cases where new device library
functions are introduced as part of the optimization pipeline.
Previously, these newly introduced functions (for example a fused sincos
call) would result in a linking error due to a missing function
definition. This new pass can be initiated via:
-mllvm -relink-builtin-bitcode-postop
Also note we intentionally exclude bitcodes supplied via the
-mlink-bitcode-file option from the second linking step
