Current approach doesn't work well in cases when multiple paths are predicted to be "cold". By "cold" paths I mean those containing "unreachable" instruction, call marked with 'cold' attribute and 'unwind' handler of 'invoke' instruction. The issue is that heuristics are applied one by one until the first match and essentially ignores relative hotness/coldness
of other paths.
New approach unifies processing of "cold" paths by assigning predefined absolute weight to each block estimated to be "cold". Then we propagate these weights up/down IR similarly to existing approach. And finally set up edge probabilities based on estimated block weights.
One important difference is how we propagate weight up. Existing approach propagates the same weight to all blocks that are post-dominated by a block with some "known" weight. This is useless at least because it always gives 50\50 distribution which is assumed by default anyway. Worse, it causes the algorithm to skip further heuristics and can miss setting more accurate probability. New algorithm propagates the weight up only to the blocks that dominates and post-dominated by a block with some "known" weight. In other words, those blocks that are either always executed or not executed together.
In addition new approach processes loops in an uniform way as well. Essentially loop exit edges are estimated as "cold" paths relative to back edges and should be considered uniformly with other coldness/hotness markers.

This is the #2 of 2 changes that make remarks hotness threshold option
available in more tools. The changes also allow the threshold to sync with
hotness threshold from profile summary with special value 'auto'.
This change expands remarks hotness threshold option
-fdiagnostics-hotness-threshold in clang and *-remarks-hotness-threshold in
other tools to utilize hotness threshold from profile summary.
Remarks hotness filtering relies on several driver options. Table below lists
how different options are correlated and affect final remarks outputs:
| profile | hotness | threshold | remarks printed |
|---------|---------|-----------|-----------------|
| No | No | No | All |
| No | No | Yes | None |
| No | Yes | No | All |
| No | Yes | Yes | None |
| Yes | No | No | All |
| Yes | No | Yes | None |
| Yes | Yes | No | All |
| Yes | Yes | Yes | >=threshold |
In the presence of profile summary, it is often more desirable to directly use
the hotness threshold from profile summary. The new argument value 'auto'
indicates threshold will be synced with hotness threshold from profile summary
during compilation. The "auto" threshold relies on the availability of profile
summary. In case of missing such information, no remarks will be generated.

Summary: Currenlty BPI unconditionally creates post dominator tree each time. While this is not incorrect we can save compile time by reusing existing post dominator tree (when it's valid) provided by analysis manager.

Summary:
Passes ORE, BPI, BFI are not being preserved by Loop passes, hence it
is incorrect to retrieve these passes as cached.
This patch makes the loop passes in question compute a new instance.
In some of these cases, however, it may be beneficial to change the Loop pass to
a Function pass instead, similar to the change for LoopUnrollAndJam.

This file lists every pass in LLVM, and is included by Pass.h, which is
very popular. Every time we add, remove, or rename a pass in LLVM, it
caused lots of recompilation.
I found this fact by looking at this table, which is sorted by the
number of times a file was changed over the last 100,000 git commits
multiplied by the number of object files that depend on it in the
current checkout:

Before this change, touching InitializePasses.h would cause 1345 files
to recompile. After this change, touching it only causes 550 compiles in
an incremental rebuild.

Now that we've moved to C++14, we no longer need the llvm::make_unique
implementation from STLExtras.h. This patch is a mechanical replacement
of (hopefully) all the llvm::make_unique instances across the monorepo.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.
