Unfortunately this change broke aspects of ThinLTO ICP, however. Is it possible to change the handling of -order_file in the linker to modify the symbol names appropriately?

> To avoid subtle issues when linkage-name is different from mangled names,,I'm wondering if it warrants a change to use linkage-names (as opposed to mangled name) in GlobalValue::getGlobalIdentifier in this PR.

If the -order_name handling cannot be fixed as I suggested above, then yes, we need some solution to ensure that the hashed symbol names are consistent across PGO and ThinLTO.
