sample loader pass.
In https://reviews.llvm.org/rG5fb65c02ca5e91e7e1a00e0efdb8edc899f3e4b9,
to prevent repeated indirect call promotion for the same indirect call
and the same target, we used zero-count value profile to indicate an
indirect call has been promoted for a certain target. We removed
PromotedInsns cache in the same patch. However, there was a problem in
that patch described below, and that problem led me to add PromotedInsns
back as a mitigation in
https://reviews.llvm.org/rG4ffad1fb489f691825d6c7d78e1626de142f26cf.
When we get value profile from metadata by calling getValueProfDataFromInst,
we need to specify the maximum possible number of values we expect to read.
We uses MaxNumPromotions in the last patch so the maximum number of value
information extracted from metadata is MaxNumPromotions. If we have many
values including zero-count values when we write the metadata, some of them
will be dropped when we read them because we only read MaxNumPromotions
values. It will allow repeated indirect call promotion again. We need to
make sure if there are values indicating promoted targets, those values need
to be saved in metadata with higher priority than other values.
The patch fixed that problem. We change to use -1 to represent the count
of a promoted target instead of 0 so it is easier to sort the values.
When we prepare to update the metadata in updateIDTMetaData, we will sort
the values in the descending count order and extract only MaxNumPromotions
values to write into metadata. Since -1 is the max uint64_t number, if we
have equal to or less than MaxNumPromotions of -1 count values, they will
all be kept in metadata. If we have more than MaxNumPromotions of -1 count
values, we will only save MaxNumPromotions such values maximally. In such
case, we have logic in place in doesHistoryAllowICP to guarantee no more
promotion in sample loader pass will happen for the indirect call, because
it has been promoted enough.
With this change, now we can remove PromotedInsns without problem.

Found a problem in indirect call promotion in sample loader pass. Currently
if an indirect call is promoted for a target, and if the parent function is
inlined into some other function, the indirect call can be promoted for the
same target again. That is redundent which can harm performance and can cause
excessive compile time in some extreme case.
The patch fixes the issue. If a target is promoted for an indirect call, the
patch will write ICP metadata with the target call count being set to 0.
In the later ICP in sample profile loader, if it sees a target has 0 count
for an indirect call, it knows the target has been promoted and won't do
indirect call promotion for the indirect call.
The fix brings 0.1~0.2% performance on our search benchmark.

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.

update client code.
Also rename it to use the more generic term `call` instead of something
that could be confused with a praticular type.

The DEBUG() macro is very generic so it might clash with other projects.
The renaming was done as follows:
- git grep -l 'DEBUG' | xargs sed -i 's/\bDEBUG\s\?(/LLVM_DEBUG(/g'
- git diff -U0 master | ../clang/tools/clang-format/clang-format-diff.py -i -p1 -style LLVM
- Manual change to APInt
- Manually chage DOCS as regex doesn't match it.
In the transition period the DEBUG() macro is still present and aliased
to the LLVM_DEBUG() one.

Summary: Currently, ICP checks the count against a fixed value to see if it is hot enough to be promoted. This does not work for SamplePGO because sampled count may be much smaller. This patch uses PSI to check if the count is hot enough to be promoted.

Summary: In the current implementation, isPromotionProfitable only checks if the call count to a direct target is no less than a certain percentage threshold of the remaining call counts that have not been promoted. This causes code size problems when the target count is small but greater than a large portion of remaining counts. E.g. target1 takes 99.9%, while target2 takes 0.1%. Both targets will be promoted and inlined, makes the function size too large, which potentially prevents it from further inlining into its callers. This patch adds another percentage threshold against the total indirect call count. If the target count needs to be no less than both thresholds in order to be promoted speculatively.
