Pass split-machine-functions to code generator when flto is used

[junfd]

Summary

-fsplit-machine-functions is an optimization in codegen phase. when -flto is use, clang generate IR bitcode in .o files, and linker will call into these codegen optimization passes. Current clang driver doesn't pass this option to linker when both -fsplit-machine-functions and -flto are used, so the optimization is silently ignored. My fix generates linker option -plugin-opt=-split-machine-functions for this case. It allows the linker to pass "split-machine-functions" to code generator to turn on that optimization. It works for both gold and lld.

Follow clang format.

Disable test on Windows, because -fsplit-machine-functions only works for ELF.

My understanding is that if you specify target, e.g. -target x86_64-unknown-linux, the test should still be runnable on windows host platform.

[junfd]

Refine the test case.

Should also check OPT_fno_split_machine_functions, i.e,

if (Args.getLastArg(options::OPT_fsplit_machine_functions,
                           options::OPT_fno_split_machine_functions))

Please add a test case for mixed -fsplit-machine-functions and -fno-split-machine-functions

[junfd]

Check the mixing -fsplit-machine-functions and -fno-split-machine-functions.

lgtm, thanks.

The linter warning seems legit, otherwise looks good.

Apply clang format.

clang/lib/Driver/ToolChains/CommonArgs.cpp

if (Args.hasFlag(options::OPT_ffunction_sections,
     CmdArgs.push_back("-plugin-opt=-function-sections");
   }
 
   if (Args.hasFlag(options::OPT_fdata_sections, options::OPT_fno_data_sections,
                    UseSeparateSections)) {
     CmdArgs.push_back("-plugin-opt=-data-sections");
   }
 
+  if (Args.hasArg(options::OPT_fsplit_machine_functions)) {
+      CmdArgs.push_back("-plugin-opt=-split-machine-functions");
+  }
+
   if (Arg *A = getLastProfileSampleUseArg(Args)) {
     StringRef FName = A->getValue();
     if (!llvm::sys::fs::exists(FName))
       D.Diag(diag::err_drv_no_such_file) << FName;
     else
       CmdArgs.push_back(
           Args.MakeArgString(Twine("-plugin-opt=sample-profile=") + FName));
   }
