Pipeclean byo_llvm, add docs and support requested features. (#14164)

* Reworks LLVM/LLD/Clang/MLIR to use CMake initial-cache files to
configure distribution support
(https://llvm.org/docs/BuildingADistribution.html) for a more precise
build that better matches how the regular distributions are done. This
was suggested by a downstream user who helped work out the incantation.
* Implements libLLVM.so shared library redirection for LLVM
dependencies, when the backing LLVM is configured in such a way.
* Changes byo_llvm.sh to a shared-library based LLVM build.
* Fixes so that IREE can build against the installed MLIR, not just the
MLIR build tree.
* Fixes the iree-tblgen target to be correct in shared-library and
installed builds.

IREE: Intermediate Representation Execution Environment

IREE (Intermediate Representation Execution Environment, pronounced as “eerie”) is an MLIR-based end-to-end compiler and runtime that lowers Machine Learning (ML) models to a unified IR that scales up to meet the needs of the datacenter and down to satisfy the constraints and special considerations of mobile and edge deployments.

See our website for project details, user guides, and instructions on building from source.

Project Status

IREE is still in its early phase. We have settled down on the overarching infrastructure and are actively improving various software components as well as project logistics. It is still quite far from ready for everyday use and is made available without any support at the moment. With that said, we welcome any kind of feedback on any communication channels!

  • MLIR topic within LLVM Discourse: IREE is enabled by and heavily relies on MLIR. IREE sometimes is referred to in certain MLIR discussions. Useful if you are also interested in MLIR evolution.
