I've added some more extensive ThinLTO pipeline testing with the new PM,
motivated by the bug fixed in D72386.
I beefed up llvm/test/Other/new-pm-pgo.ll a little so that it tests
ThinLTO pre and post link with PGO, similar to the testing for the
default pipelines with PGO.
Added new pre and post link PGO tests for both instrumentation and
sample PGO that exhaustively test the pipelines at different
optimization levels via opt.
Added a clang test to exhaustively test the post link pipeline invoked for
distributed builds. I am currently only testing O2 and O3 since these
are the most important for performance.
It would be nice to add similar exhaustive testing for full LTO, and for
the old PM, but I don't have the bandwidth now and this is a start to
cover some of the situations that are not currently default and were
under tested.
Can we test %clang intead of %clang_cc1? so we don't have to add flags like -vectorize-slp and -vectorize-loops. clang O2/O3 pipeline is something we care about. Those flags added by clang to cc1 options may be subject to change.
