Update clang to use the InstrProfReader from LLVM to read
instrumentation based profile data. This also switches us from the
naive text format to the binary format, since that's what's
implemented in the reader.

The variable is used to set the linkage for variables, and will become
different from function linkage in a follow-up commit.

These functions are in the profile runtime. PGO comes later.
Unfortunately, there's only room for 16 characters in a Darwin section,
so use __llvm_prf_ instead of __llvm_profile_ for section names.

The hash itself is still the number of counters, which isn't all that
useful, but this separates the API changes from the actual
implementation of the hash and will make it easier to transition to
the ProfileData library once it's implemented.

In instrumentation-based profiling, we need a set of data structures to
represent the counters. Previously, these were built up during static
initialization. Now, they're shoved into a specially-named section so
that they show up as an array.
As a consequence of the reorganizing symbols, instrumentation data
structures for linkonce functions are now correctly coalesced.
This is the first step in a larger project to minimize runtime overhead
and dependencies in instrumentation-based profilng. The larger picture
includes removing all initialization overhead and making the dependency
on libc optional.

This updates CodeGenPGO to use the ProfileDataReader introduced to
llvm in r203703 and the new API for writing out the profile introduced
to compiler-rt in r203710.
llvm-svn: 203711
In addition, for all functions, use the name from the llvm::Function to
identify the function in the profile data. Compute that "function name",
including the file name for local functions, once when assigning the PGO
counters and store it in the CodeGenPGO class.
Move the code to add InlineHint and Cold attributes out of StartFunction(),
because the "function name" string isn't available at that point.
llvm-svn: 203075
For C++ functions, we will continue to use the mangled name to identify
functions in the PGO profile data, but this name is confusing for things like
Objective-C methods. For functions with local linkage, we're also going to
include the file name to help distinguish those functions, so this changes to
use more generic variable names.
No functional changes.
llvm-svn: 203074
Move the PGO.assignRegionCounters() call out of StartFunction, because that
function is called from many places where it does not make sense to do PGO
instrumentation (e.g., compiler-generated helper functions). Change several
functions to take a StringRef argument for the unique name associated with
a function, so that the name can be set differently for things like Objective-C
methods and block literals.

In r201528, I changed the PGO instrumentation counter for a "do" loop to not
include the fall-through count. That fall-through count is included later, b
it means that this assertion may fail for "do" loops.
llvm-svn: 202437
Previously, we made one traversal of the AST prior to codegen to assign
counters to the ASTs and then propagated the count values during codegen. This
patch now adds a separate AST traversal prior to codegen for the
-fprofile-instr-use option to propagate the count values. The counts are then
saved in a map from which they can be retrieved during codegen.
This new approach has several advantages:
1. It gets rid of a lot of extra PGO-related code that had previously been
added to codegen.
2. It fixes a serious bug. My original implementation (which was mailed to the
list but never committed) used 3 counters for every loop. Justin improved it to
move 2 of those counters into the less-frequently executed breaks and continues,
but that turned out to produce wrong count values in some cases. The solution
requires visiting a loop body before the condition so that the count for the
condition properly includes the break and continue counts. Changing codegen to
visit a loop body first would be a fairly invasive change, but with a separate
AST traversal, it is easy to control the order of traversal. I've added a
testcase (provided by Justin) to make sure this works correctly.
3. It improves the instrumentation overhead, reducing the number of counters for
a loop from 3 to 1. We no longer need dedicated counters for breaks and
continues, since we can just use the propagated count values when visiting
breaks and continues.
To make this work, I needed to make a change to the way we count case
statements, going back to my original approach of not including the fall-through
in the counter values. This was necessary because there isn't always an AST node
that can be used to record the fall-through count. Now case statements are
handled the same as default statements, with the fall-through paths branching
over the counter increments. While I was at it, I also went back to using this
approach for do-loops -- omitting the fall-through count into the loop body
simplifies some of the calculations and make them behave the same as other
loops. Whenever we start using this instrumentation for coverage, we'll need
to add the fall-through counts into the counter values.

We collect a maximal function count among all functions in the pgo data file.
For functions that are hot, we set its InlineHint attribute. For functions that
are cold, we set its Cold attribute.
We currently treat functions with >= 30% of the maximal function count as hot
and functions with <= 1% of the maximal function count are treated as cold.
These two numbers are from preliminary tuning on SPEC.
This commit should not affect non-PGO builds and should boost performance on
instrumentation based PGO.

adjustFallThroughCount isn't a good name, and the documentation was
even worse. This commit attempts to clarify what it's for and when to
use it.

There are a number of places where we do PGO.setCurrentRegionCount(0)
directly after an unconditional branch. Give this operation a name so
that it's clearer why we're doing this.
