Subject: [PATCH] [LTO] [LLD] Don't alias the __imp_func and func symbol
 resolutions

Commit b963c0b658cc54b370832df4f5a3d63fd69da334 fixed LTO
compilation of cases where one translation unit is calling a
function with the dllimport attribute, and another translation
unit provides this function locally within the same linked module
(i.e. not actually dllimported); see
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/37453 or
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38105 for full context.

This was fixed by aliasing their GlobalResolution structs, for
the __imp_ prefixed and non prefixed symbols.

I believe this fix to be wrong.

This patch reverts that fix, and fixes the same issue differently,
within LLD instead.

The fix assumed that one can treat the __imp_ prefixed and
unprefixed symbols as equal, referencing SVN r240620
(d766653534e0cff702e42a43b44d3057b6094fea). However that referenced
commit had mistaken how this logic works, which was corrected
later in SVN r240622 (88e0f9206b4dccb56dee931adab08f89ff80525a);
those symbols aren't direct aliases for each other - but if
there's a need for the __imp_ prefixed one and the other one
exists, the __imp_ prefixed one is created, as a pointer to
the other one.

However this fix only works if both translation units are compiled
as LTO; if the caller is compiled as a regular object file and
the callee is compiled as LTO, the fix fails, as the LTO compilation
doesn't know that the unprefixed symbol is needed.

The only level that knows of the potential relationship between
the __imp_ prefixed and unprefixed symbol, across regular and
bitcode object files, is LLD itself.

Therefore, revert the original fix from
b963c0b658cc54b370832df4f5a3d63fd69da334, and move the testcase
from the llvm/LTO level into LLD. Extend the testcase to test
all combinations of regular and LTO objects for both object
files. (Also simplify the symbol name in the testcase, from
MSVC C++ mangling to a plain C symbol name, for clarity.)

Then fix the issue differently - when concluding that we can
fulfill an undefined symbol starting with __imp_, mark the
corresponding non prefixed symbol as used in a regular object
for the LTO compilation, to make sure that this non prefixed
symbol exists after the LTO compilation, to let LLD do the
fixup of the local import.

This change also fixes another issue; an object file can provide
both unprefixed and prefixed versions of the same symbol, like
this:

    void importedFunc(void) {
    }
    void (*__imp_importedFunc)(void) = importedFunc;

That allows the function to be called both with and without
dllimport markings. (The concept of automatically resolving
a reference to __imp_func to a locally defined func only is
done in MSVC style linkers, but not in GNU ld, therefore MinGW
mode code often uses this construct.)

Previously, the aliasing of global resolutions at the LTO level
would trigger a failed assert with "Multiple prevailing defs are
not allowed" for this case, as both importedFunc and
__imp_importedFunc could be prevailing. Add a case to the existing
LLD test case lto-imp-prefix.ll to test this as well.

This change (together with previous change in
3ab6209a3f93bdbeec8e9b9fcc00a9a4980915ff) completes LLD to work
with mingw-w64-crt files (the base glue code for a mingw-w64
toolchain) built with LTO.
