[AIX] Define llvm::thread::DefaultStackSize to 4 megabytes on AIX

[w2yehia]

Summary

Link time thinLTO spawns pthreads to parallelize optimization and codegen of the input bitcode files.
On AIX, the pthread's stack size limit is ~192k for 64-bit programs.
If std::optional<unsigned> llvm::thread::DefaultStackSize is initialized, then its value is used on a call to pthread_attr_setstacksize before pthread_create occurs.

We think increasing the default thread stack size limit in llvm on AIX to 4mb make sense.

Minor nit to have the comment explaining why like Darwin does above.

llvm/lib/Support/Threading.cpp

 #include "llvm/Support/thread.h"
 
 #if defined(__APPLE__)
   // Darwin's default stack size for threads except the main one is only 512KB,
   // which is not enough for some/many normal LLVM compilations. This implements
   // the same interface as std::thread but requests the same stack size as the
   // main thread (8MB) before creation.
 const std::optional<unsigned> llvm::thread::DefaultStackSize = 8 * 1024 * 1024;
+#elif defined(_AIX)
+  // On AIX, the default pthread stack size limit is ~192k for 64-bit programs.
+  // This limit is easily reached when doing link-time thinLTO. AIX library
+  // developers have used 4MB, so we'll do the same.
+const std::optional<unsigned> llvm::thread::DefaultStackSize = 4 * 1024 * 1024;

 const std::optional<unsigned> llvm::thread::DefaultStackSize;
