[ctx_prof] "Use" support for pre-thinlink. (#101338)

There is currently no plan to support contextual profiling use in a non-
ThinLTO scenario.

In the pre-link phase, we only instrument and then immediately bail out
to let the linker group functions under an entrypoint in the same module
as the entrypoint. We don't actually care what the profile contains -
just that we want to use a contextual profile.

After that, in post-thinlink, we require the profile be passed again so
we can actually use it. The earlier instrumentation will be used to
match counter values.

While the feature is in development, we add a hidden flag for the use
scenario, but we can eventually tie it to the `PGOOptions` mechanism. We
will use the same flag in both pre- and post-thinlink, because it
simplifies things - usually the post-thinlink args are the same as the
ones for pre-. This, despite the flag being basically treated as a
boolean in pre-thinlink.

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

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
