I ran the test-suite (including SPEC 2006) in PGO mode comparing cold
thresholds of 225 and 45. Here are some stats on the text size:
Out of 904 tests that ran, 197 see a change in text size. The average
text size reduction (of all the 904 binaries) is 1.07%. Of the 197
binaries, 19 see a text size increase, as high as 18%, but most of them
are small single source benchmarks. There are 3 multisource benchmarks
with a >0.5% size increase (0.7, 1.3 and 2.1 are their % increases). On
the other side of the spectrum, 31 benchmarks see >10% size reduction
and 6 of them are MultiSource.
I haven't run the test-suite with other values of inlinecold-threshold.
Since we have a cold callsite threshold of 45, I picked this value.

When calculating the cost of a call instruction we were applying a heuristic penalty as well as the cost of the instruction itself.
However, when calculating the benefit from inlining we weren't discounting the equivalent penalty for the call instruction that would be removed! This caused skew in the calculation and meant we wouldn't inline in the following, trivial case:
int g() {
h();
}
int f() {
g();
}

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

override the default cold threshold.
When we use command line argument to set the inline threshold, the default
cold threshold will not be used. This is in line with how we use
OptSizeThreshold. When we want a higher threshold for all functions, we
do not have to set both inline threshold and cold threshold.

225 is the default value of inline-threshold. This change will make sure
we have the same inlining behavior as prior to r200886.
As Chandler points out, even though we don't have code in our testing
suite that uses cold attribute, there are larger applications that do
use cold attribute.
r200886 + this commit intend to keep the same behavior as prior to r200886.
We can later on tune the inlinecold-threshold.
The main purpose of r200886 is to help performance of instrumentation based
PGO before we actually hook up inliner with analysis passes such as BPI and BFI.
For instrumentation based PGO, we try to increase inlining of hot functions and
reduce inlining of cold functions by setting inlinecold-threshold.
Another option suggested by Chandler is to use a boolean flag that controls
if we should use OptSizeThreshold for cold functions. The default value
of the boolean flag should not change the current behavior. But it gives us
less freedom in controlling inlining of cold functions.

Added command line option inlinecold-threshold to set threshold for inlining
functions with cold attribute. Listen to the cold attribute when it would
decrease the inline threshold.
