[Utils] Identity map module-level debug info on first use in CloneFunction* (#118627)


Summary:
To avoid cloning module-level debug info (owned by the module rather
than the function), CloneFunction implementation used to eagerly
identity map such debug info into ValueMap's MD map. In larger modules
with meaningful volume of debug info this gets very expensive.

By passing such debug info metadata via an IdentityMD set for the
ValueMapper to map on first use, we get several benefits:

1. Mapping metadata is not cheap, particularly because of tracking. When
   cloning a Function we identity map lots of global module-level
   metadata to avoid cloning it, while only a fraction of it is actually
   used by the function. Mapping on first use is a lot faster for
   modules with meaningful amount of debug info.

2. Eagerly identity mapping metadata makes it harder to cache
   module-level data (e.g. a set of metadata nodes in a \a DICompileUnit).
   With this patch we can cache certain module-level metadata
   calculations to speed things up further.

Anecdata from compiling a sample cpp file with full debug info shows that this moderately speeds up
CoroSplitPass which is one of the heavier users of cloning:

|                 | Baseline | IdentityMD set |
|-----------------|----------|----------------|
| CoroSplitPass   | 306ms    | 221ms          |
| CoroCloner      | 101ms    | 72ms           |
| Speed up        | 1x       | 1.4x           |

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM
