I'd probably say drop the flag - " check if rawLinkageName is set and only set it when it is not null. " was implemented and seems that addressed the debug info issue without an awkward tradeoff between AutoFDO fidelity and debugging fidelity, so there doesn't seem to be a need to be able to configure this.

Here is a suggestion for a plan forward. Let's get these patches along with D94154 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D94154> in.  No correctness issues but a missed opportunity.  I will work with @rnk and @dblaikie and send out a patch where I move the uniqueification to clang?  That patch will also do linkage name for C functions with mangled name when uniqueification is needed. Does that sound reasonable?  As for timeline, I can do this in two weeks.
