Looks good. Thanks.



================
Comment at: llvm/lib/Passes/PassPluginLoader.cpp:23
+void PassPluginLoader::operator=(const std::string &Filename) {
+  sys::SmartScopedLock<true> Lock(*PluginsLock);
+  auto PassPlugin = PassPlugin::Load(Filename);
----------------
why do we need a lock? 
Is there a use case where multiple threads enter this function.
Right now, the only place we create a `PassPluginLoader` is in `cl::opt<PassPluginLoader> PassPlugins`.
