[Clang][AMDGPU] Enable `avail-extern-to-local` for ThinLTO in HIP (#134476) In HIP, the Clang driver already sets `force-import-all` when ThinLTO is enabled. As a result, all imported functions get the `available_externally` linkage. However, these functions are later removed by the `EliminateAvailableExternallyPass`, effectively undoing the forced import and eventually leading to link errors. The `EliminateAvailableExternallyPass` provides an option to convert `available_externally` functions into local functions, renaming them to avoid conflicts. This behavior is exactly what we need for HIP. This PR enables that option (`avail-extern-to-local`) alongside `force-import-all` when ThinLTO is used. With this change, ThinLTO almost works correctly on AMDGPU. The only remaining issue is an undefined reference to `__assert_fail`, but that falls outside the scope of this PR.
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.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
