The Linux kernel objtool diagnostic `call without frame pointer save/setup`
arise in multiple instrumentation passes (asan/tsan/gcov). With the mechanism
introduced in D100251, it's trivial to respect the command line
-m[no-]omit-leaf-frame-pointer/-f[no-]omit-frame-pointer, so let's do it.

An indirect call site needs to be probed for its potential call targets. With CSSPGO a direct call also needs a probe so that a calling context can be represented by a stack of callsite probes. Unlike pseudo probes for basic blocks that are in form of standalone intrinsic call instructions, pseudo probes for callsites have to be attached to the call instruction, thus a separate instruction would not work.
One possible way of attaching a probe to a call instruction is to use a special metadata that carries information about the probe. The special metadata will have to make its way through the optimization pipeline down to object emission. This requires additional efforts to maintain the metadata in various places. Given that the `!dbg` metadata is a first-class metadata and has all essential support in place , leveraging the `!dbg` metadata as a channel to encode pseudo probe information is probably the easiest solution.
With the requirement of not inflating `!dbg` metadata that is allocated for almost every instruction, we found that the 32-bit DWARF discriminator field which mainly serves AutoFDO can be reused for pseudo probes. DWARF discriminators distinguish identical source locations between instructions and with pseudo probes such support is not required. In this change we are using the discriminator field to encode the ID and type of a callsite probe and the encoded value will be unpacked and consumed right before object emission. When a callsite is inlined, the callsite discriminator field will go with the inlined instructions. The `!dbg` metadata of an inlined instruction is in form of a scope stack. The top of the stack is the instruction's original `!dbg` metadata and the bottom of the stack is for the original callsite of the top-level inliner. Except for the top of the stack, all other elements of the stack actually refer to the nested inlined callsites whose discriminator field (which actually represents a calliste probe) can be used together to represent the inline context of an inlined PseudoProbeInst or CallInst.
To avoid collision with the baseline AutoFDO in various places that handles dwarf discriminators where a check against the `-pseudo-probe-for-profiling` switch is not available, a special encoding scheme is used to tell apart a pseudo probe discriminator from a regular discriminator. For the regular discriminator, if all lowest 3 bits are non-zero, it means the discriminator is basically empty and all higher 29 bits can be reversed for pseudo probe use.
Callsite pseudo probes are inserted in `SampleProfileProbePass` and a target-independent MIR pass `PseudoProbeInserter` is added to unpack the probe ID/type from `!dbg`.
Note that with this work the switch -debug-info-for-profiling will not work with -pseudo-probe-for-profiling anymore. They cannot be used at the same time.

2. DataSections is turned on by default on AIX for llc.
3. Test cases change accordingly because of the default behaviour change.

SUMMARY:
In IBM compiler xlclang , there is an option -fnovisibility which suppresses visibility. For more details see: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGH3R_16.1.0/com.ibm.xlcpp161.aix.doc/compiler_ref/opt_visibility.html.
We need to add the option -mignore-xcoff-visibility for compatibility with the IBM AIX OS (as the option is enabled by default in AIX). With this option llvm does not emit any visibility attribute to ASM or XCOFF object file.
The option only work on the AIX OS, for other non-AIX OS using the option will report an unsupported options error.
In AIX OS:
1.1 the option -mignore-xcoff-visibility is enabled by default , if there is not -fvisibility=* and -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command .
1.2 if there is -fvisibility=* explicitly but not -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command. it will generate visibility attributes.
1.3 if there are both -fvisibility=* and -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command. The option "-mignore-xcoff-visibility" wins , it do not emit the visibility attribute.
The option -mignore-xcoff-visibility has no effect on visibility attribute when compile with -emit-llvm option to generated LLVM IR.

We introduce a codegen optimization pass which splits functions into hot and cold
parts. This pass leverages the basic block sections feature recently
introduced in LLVM from the Propeller project. The pass targets
functions with profile coverage, identifies cold blocks and moves them
to a separate section. The linker groups all cold blocks across
functions together, decreasing fragmentation and improving icache and
itlb utilization.
We evaluated the Machine Function Splitter pass on clang bootstrap and
SPECInt 2017.
For clang bootstrap we observe a mean 2.33% runtime improvement with a
~32% reduction in itlb and stlb misses. Additionally, L1 icache misses
reduced by 9.5% while L2 instruction misses reduced by 20%.
For SPECInt we report the change in IntRate the C/C++
benchmarks. All benchmarks apart from mcf and x264 improve, on average
by 0.6% with the max for deepsjeng at 1.6%.

This patch adds the -Xclang option
"-fexperimental-debug-variable-locations" and same LLVM CodeGen option,
to pick which variable location tracking solution to use.
Right now all the switch does is pick which LiveDebugValues
implementation to use, the normal VarLoc one or the instruction
referencing one in rGae6f78824031. Over time, the aim is to add fragments
of support in aid of the value-tracking RFC:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-February/139440.html
also controlled by this command line switch. That will slowly move
variable locations to be defined by an instruction calculating a value,
and a DBG_INSTR_REF instruction referring to that value. Thus, this is
going to grow into a "use the new kind of variable locations" switch,
rather than just "use the new LiveDebugValues implementation".

Replace with forward declarations and move necessary includes down to source files.
Exposes an implicit dependency on TargetMachine.h in llvm-opt-fuzzer.cpp
Make these behave the same way unsafe-fp-math and co. The command line
flag should add the attribute to functions that do not already have
it, and leave existing attributes. The attribute is the actual
implementation, but the flag is useful in some testing situations.
AMDGPU has a variety of tests with denormals enabled/disabled that
would require a painful level of test duplication without a flag. This
doesn't expose setting the separate input/output modes, or add a flag
for the f32 version yet.
Tests will be included in future patch.
MCTargetOptionsCommandFlags.inc and CommandFlags.inc are headers which contain
cl::opt with static storage.
These headers are meant to be incuded by tools to make it easier to parametrize
codegen/mc.
However, these headers are also included in at least two libraries: lldCommon
and handle-llvm. As a result, when creating DYLIB, clang-cpp holds a reference
to the options, and lldCommon holds another reference. Linking the two in a
single executable, as zig does[0], results in a double registration.
This patch explores an other approach: the .inc files are moved to regular
files, and the registration happens on-demand through static declaration of
options in the constructor of a static object.
