The ability to specify alignment was recently added, and it's an
important property which we should ensure is set as expected by
Clang. (Especially before making further changes to Clang's code in
this area.) But, because it's on the end of the lines, the existing
tests all ignore it.
Therefore, update all the tests to also verify the expected alignment
for atomicrmw and cmpxchg. While I was in there, I also updated uses
of 'load atomic' and 'store atomic', and added the memory ordering,
where that was missing.
GCC 7 introduced -fprofile-update={atomic,prefer-atomic} (prefer-atomic is for
best efforts (some targets do not support atomics)) to increment counters
atomically, which is exactly what we have done with -fprofile-instr-generate
(D50867) and -fprofile-arcs (b5ef137c11).
This patch adds the option to clang to surface the internal options at driver level.
GCC 7 also turned on -fprofile-update=prefer-atomic when -pthread is specified,
but it has performance regression
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89307). So we don't follow suit.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D87737
gcov is an "Edge Profiling with Edge Counters" application according to
Optimally Profiling and Tracing Programs (1994).
The minimum number of counters necessary is |E|-(|V|-1). The unmeasured edges
form a spanning tree. Both GCC --coverage and clang -fprofile-generate leverage
this optimization. This patch implements the optimization for clang --coverage.
The produced .gcda files are much smaller now.
