SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566

Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles.

Reland "clang-misexpect: Profile Guided Validation of Performance Annotations in LLVM" This patch contains the basic functionality for reporting potentially incorrect usage of __builtin_expect() by comparing the developer's annotation against a collected PGO profile. A more detailed proposal and discussion appears on the CFE-dev mailing list (http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2019-July/062971.html) and a prototype of the initial frontend changes appear here in D65300 We revised the work in D65300 by moving the misexpect check into the LLVM backend, and adding support for IR and sampling based profiles, in addition to frontend instrumentation. We add new misexpect metadata tags to those instructions directly influenced by the llvm.expect intrinsic (branch, switch, and select) when lowering the intrinsics. The misexpect metadata contains information about the expected target of the intrinsic so that we can check against the correct PGO counter when emitting diagnostics, and the compiler's values for the LikelyBranchWeight and UnlikelyBranchWeight. We use these branch weight values to determine when to emit the diagnostic to the user. A future patch should address the comment at the top of LowerExpectIntrisic.cpp to hoist the LikelyBranchWeight and UnlikelyBranchWeight values into a shared space that can be accessed outside of the LowerExpectIntrinsic pass. Once that is done, the misexpect metadata can be updated to be smaller. In the long term, it is possible to reconstruct portions of the misexpect metadata from the existing profile data. However, we have avoided this to keep the code simple, and because some kind of metadata tag will be required to identify which branch/switch/select instructions are influenced by the use of llvm.expect Patch By: paulkirth Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D66324 llvm-svn: 371635

Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

[SampleFDO] Minimize performance impact when profile-sample-accurate is enabled. We can save memory and reduce binary size significantly by enabling ProfileSampleAccurate. However when ProfileSampleAccurate is true, function without sample will be regarded as cold and this could potentially cause performance regression. To minimize the potential negative performance impact, we want to be a little conservative here saying if a function shows up in the profile, no matter as outline instance, inline instance or call targets, treat the function as not being cold. This will handle the cases such as most callsites of a function are inlined in sampled binary (thus outline copy don't get any sample) but not inlined in current build (because of source code drift, imprecise debug information, or the callsites are all cold individually but not cold accumulatively...), so that the outline function showing up as cold in sampled binary will actually not be cold after current build. After the change, such function will be treated as not cold even profile-sample-accurate is enabled. At the same time we lower the hot criteria of callsiteIsHot check when profile-sample-accurate is enabled. callsiteIsHot is used to determined whether a callsite is hot and qualified for early inlining. When profile-sample-accurate is enabled, functions without profile will be regarded as cold and much less inlining will happen in CGSCC inlining pass, so we can worry less about size increase and be aggressive to allow more early inlining to happen for warm callsites and it is helpful for performance overall.

At the same time we lower the hot criteria of callsiteIsHot check when profile-sample-accurate is enabled. callsiteIsHot is used to determined whether a callsite is hot and qualified for early inlining. When profile-sample-accurate is enabled, functions without profile will be regarded as cold and much less inlining will happen in CGSCC inlining pass, so we can worry less about size increase and be aggressive to allow more early inlining to happen for warm callsites and it is helpful for performance overall.

Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

/// Equivalence classes for block weights.
Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass.

SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566

[SampleFDO] Minimize performance impact when profile-sample-accurate is enabled. We can save memory and reduce binary size significantly by enabling ProfileSampleAccurate. However when ProfileSampleAccurate is true, function without sample will be regarded as cold and this could potentially cause performance regression. To minimize the potential negative performance impact, we want to be a little conservative here saying if a function shows up in the profile, no matter as outline instance, inline instance or call targets, treat the function as not being cold. This will handle the cases such as most callsites of a function are inlined in sampled binary (thus outline copy don't get any sample) but not inlined in current build (because of source code drift, imprecise debug information, or the callsites are all cold individually but not cold accumulatively...), so that the outline function showing up as cold in sampled binary will actually not be cold after current build. After the change, such function will be treated as not cold even profile-sample-accurate is enabled. At the same time we lower the hot criteria of callsiteIsHot check when profile-sample-accurate is enabled. callsiteIsHot is used to determined whether a callsite is hot and qualified for early inlining. When profile-sample-accurate is enabled, functions without profile will be regarded as cold and much less inlining will happen in CGSCC inlining pass, so we can worry less about size increase and be aggressive to allow more early inlining to happen for warm callsites and it is helpful for performance overall.

[SampleFDO] Minimize performance impact when profile-sample-accurate is enabled. We can save memory and reduce binary size significantly by enabling ProfileSampleAccurate. However when ProfileSampleAccurate is true, function without sample will be regarded as cold and this could potentially cause performance regression. To minimize the potential negative performance impact, we want to be a little conservative here saying if a function shows up in the profile, no matter as outline instance, inline instance or call targets, treat the function as not being cold. This will handle the cases such as most callsites of a function are inlined in sampled binary (thus outline copy don't get any sample) but not inlined in current build (because of source code drift, imprecise debug information, or the callsites are all cold individually but not cold accumulatively...), so that the outline function showing up as cold in sampled binary will actually not be cold after current build. After the change, such function will be treated as not cold even profile-sample-accurate is enabled. At the same time we lower the hot criteria of callsiteIsHot check when profile-sample-accurate is enabled. callsiteIsHot is used to determined whether a callsite is hot and qualified for early inlining. When profile-sample-accurate is enabled, functions without profile will be regarded as cold and much less inlining will happen in CGSCC inlining pass, so we can worry less about size increase and be aggressive to allow more early inlining to happen for warm callsites and it is helpful for performance overall.

SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566

Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566

/// Compute and store the weights of every basic block.
Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566

Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566

Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566

All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

// After visiting all the edges, there are three cases that we
// can handle immediately:
//
// - All the edge weights are known (i.e., NumUnknownEdges == 0).
// In this case, we simply check that the sum of all the edges
// is the same as BB's weight. If not, we change BB's weight
// to match. Additionally, if BB had not been visited before,
// we mark it visited.
//
// - Only one edge is unknown and BB has already been visited.
// In this case, we can compute the weight of the edge by
// subtracting the total block weight from all the known
// edge weights. If the edges weight more than BB, then the
// edge of the last remaining edge is set to zero.
//
// - There exists a self-referential edge and the weight of BB is
// known. In this case, this edge can be based on BB's weight.
// We add up all the other known edges and set the weight on
// the self-referential edge as we did in the previous case.
//
// In any other case, we must continue iterating. Eventually,
// all edges will get a weight, or iteration will stop when
// it reaches SampleProfileMaxPropagateIterations.

SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566

SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566

Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

Reland "clang-misexpect: Profile Guided Validation of Performance Annotations in LLVM" This patch contains the basic functionality for reporting potentially incorrect usage of __builtin_expect() by comparing the developer's annotation against a collected PGO profile. A more detailed proposal and discussion appears on the CFE-dev mailing list (http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2019-July/062971.html) and a prototype of the initial frontend changes appear here in D65300 We revised the work in D65300 by moving the misexpect check into the LLVM backend, and adding support for IR and sampling based profiles, in addition to frontend instrumentation. We add new misexpect metadata tags to those instructions directly influenced by the llvm.expect intrinsic (branch, switch, and select) when lowering the intrinsics. The misexpect metadata contains information about the expected target of the intrinsic so that we can check against the correct PGO counter when emitting diagnostics, and the compiler's values for the LikelyBranchWeight and UnlikelyBranchWeight. We use these branch weight values to determine when to emit the diagnostic to the user. A future patch should address the comment at the top of LowerExpectIntrisic.cpp to hoist the LikelyBranchWeight and UnlikelyBranchWeight values into a shared space that can be accessed outside of the LowerExpectIntrinsic pass. Once that is done, the misexpect metadata can be updated to be smaller. In the long term, it is possible to reconstruct portions of the misexpect metadata from the existing profile data. However, we have avoided this to keep the code simple, and because some kind of metadata tag will be required to identify which branch/switch/select instructions are influenced by the use of llvm.expect Patch By: paulkirth Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D66324 llvm-svn: 371635

It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566

[SampleFDO] Minimize performance impact when profile-sample-accurate is enabled. We can save memory and reduce binary size significantly by enabling ProfileSampleAccurate. However when ProfileSampleAccurate is true, function without sample will be regarded as cold and this could potentially cause performance regression. To minimize the potential negative performance impact, we want to be a little conservative here saying if a function shows up in the profile, no matter as outline instance, inline instance or call targets, treat the function as not being cold. This will handle the cases such as most callsites of a function are inlined in sampled binary (thus outline copy don't get any sample) but not inlined in current build (because of source code drift, imprecise debug information, or the callsites are all cold individually but not cold accumulatively...), so that the outline function showing up as cold in sampled binary will actually not be cold after current build. After the change, such function will be treated as not cold even profile-sample-accurate is enabled. At the same time we lower the hot criteria of callsiteIsHot check when profile-sample-accurate is enabled. callsiteIsHot is used to determined whether a callsite is hot and qualified for early inlining. When profile-sample-accurate is enabled, functions without profile will be regarded as cold and much less inlining will happen in CGSCC inlining pass, so we can worry less about size increase and be aggressive to allow more early inlining to happen for warm callsites and it is helpful for performance overall.

SamplePGO ThinLTO ICP fix for local functions. Summary: In SamplePGO, if the profile is collected from non-LTO binary, and used to drive ThinLTO, the indirect call promotion may fail because ThinLTO adjusts local function names to avoid conflicts. There are two places of where the mismatch can happen: 1. thin-link prepends SourceFileName to front of FuncName to build the GUID (GlobalValue::getGlobalIdentifier). Unlike instrumentation FDO, SamplePGO does not use the PGOFuncName scheme and therefore the indirect call target profile data contains a hash of the OriginalName. 2. backend compiler promotes some local functions to global and appends .llvm.{$ModuleHash} to the end of the FuncName to derive PromotedFunctionName This patch tries at the best effort to find the GUID from the original local function name (in profile), and use that in ICP promotion, and in SamplePGO matching that happens in the backend after importing/inlining: 1. in thin-link, it builds the map from OriginalName to GUID so that when thin-link reads in indirect call target profile (represented by OriginalName), it knows which GUID to import. 2. in backend compiler, if sample profile reader cannot find a profile match for PromotedFunctionName, it will try to find if there is a match for OriginalFunctionName. 3. in backend compiler, we build symbol table entry for OriginalFunctionName and pointer to the same symbol of PromotedFunctionName, so that ICP can find the correct target to promote.

Propagation of profile samples through the CFG. This adds a propagation heuristic to convert instruction samples into branch weights. It implements a similar heuristic to the one implemented by Dehao Chen on GCC. The propagation proceeds in 3 phases: 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently executed instruction. 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information. Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1 dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop. 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every block B in the CFG: - If B has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight of that edge is the weight of the block. - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than B's weight, we set the unknown edge weight to zero. - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if known). Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations). It currently uses the same GCC default of 100. Before propagation starts, the pass builds (for each block) a list of unique predecessors and successors. This is necessary to handle identical edges in multiway branches. Since we visit all blocks and all edges of the CFG, it is cleaner to build these lists once at the start of the pass. Finally, the patch fixes the computation of relative line locations. The profiler emits lines relative to the function header. To discover it, we traverse the compilation unit looking for the subprogram corresponding to the function. The line number of that subprogram is the line where the function begins. That becomes line zero for all the relative locations. llvm-svn: 198972

SampleProfileLoader pass. Initial setup. This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile. The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata, which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block frequencies, edge weights and other related data. External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file. A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been executed during the run. The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation. On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to contain profile information for the whole application. The profile data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of the corresponding profiler. To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to support. To do this, every profiler must implement the SampleProfile::loadNative() function. The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit. Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function. Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each function in the current translation unit. This function needs to translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will later be able to use. This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count representing how many samples were collected at that line during execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter tool. Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send the other parts of the implementation for review. This patch implements: - The SampleProfileLoader pass. - The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface. - A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that matches the profiles. - A text loader class to assist the implementation of SampleProfile::loadText(). - Basic unit tests for the pass. Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch weights based on instruction samples. This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It does a fairly simplistic conversion: Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each target basic block. Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that only one of them is the most heavily taken branch. I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches. llvm-svn: 194566
