"trampolines", or "aliases (the default)) to allow targets to opt out of
the MergeFunctions LLVM pass. Also add a corresponding -Z option with
the same name and values.
This works around: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57356
Motivation:
Basically, the problem is that the MergeFunctions pass, which rustc
currently enables by default at -O2 and -O3, and `extern "ptx-kernel"`
functions (specific to the NVPTX target) are currently not compatible
with each other. If the MergeFunctions pass is allowed to run, rustc can
generate invalid PTX assembly (i.e. a PTX file that is not accepted by
the native PTX assembler ptxas). Therefore we would like a way to opt
out of the MergeFunctions pass, which is what our target option does.
Related work:
The current behavior of rustc is to enable MergeFunctions at -O2 and -O3,
and also to enable the use of function aliases within MergeFunctions.
MergeFunctions both with and without function aliases is incompatible with
the NVPTX target.
clang's "solution" is to have a "-fmerge-functions" flag that opts in to
the MergeFunctions pass, but it is not enabled by default.
Instead of only determining whether some form of LTO is necessary,
determine whether thin, fat or no LTO is necessary. I've rewritten
the conditions in a way that I think is more obvious, i.e. specified
LTO type + additional preconditions.
