Alex Brachet fa9d232e43 [docs] [NFC] Removed excess spacing
Summary: Removed excess new lines from documentations. As far as I can tell, it seems as though restructured text is agnostic to new lines, the use of new lines was inconsistent and had no effect on how the files were being displayed.

James Henderson a056684c33 [docs][tools] Add missing "program" tags to rst files
Sphinx allows for definitions of command-line options using
`.. option <name>` and references to those options via `:option:<name>`.
However, it looks like there is no scoping of these options by default,
meaning that links can end up pointing to incorrect documents. See for
example the llvm-mca document, which contains references to -o that,
prior to this patch, pointed to a different document. What's worse is
that these links appear to be non-deterministic in which one is picked
(on my machine, some references end up pointing to opt, whereas on the
live docs, they point to llvm-dwarfdump, for example).

The fix is to add the .. program <name> tag. This essentially namespaces
the options (definitions and references) to the named program, ensuring
that the links are kept correct.

Roman Lebedev c2423fe689 [llvm-exegesis] Introduce a 'naive' clustering algorithm (PR40880)
Summary:
This is an alternative to D59539.

Let's suppose we have measured 4 different opcodes, and got: `0.5`, `1.0`, `1.5`, `2.0`.
Let's suppose we are using `-analysis-clustering-epsilon=0.5`.
By default now we will start processing the `0.5` point, find that `1.0` is it's neighbor, add them to a new cluster.
Then we will notice that `1.5` is a neighbor of `1.0` and add it to that same cluster.
Then we will notice that `2.0` is a neighbor of `1.5` and add it to that same cluster.
So all these points ended up in the same cluster.
This may or may not be a correct implementation of dbscan clustering algorithm.

But this is rather horribly broken for the reasons of comparing the clusters with the LLVM sched data.
Let's suppose all those opcodes are currently in the same sched cluster.
If i specify `-analysis-inconsistency-epsilon=0.5`, then no matter
the LLVM values this cluster will **never** match the LLVM values,
and thus this cluster will **always** be displayed as inconsistent.

The solution is obviously to split off some of these opcodes into different sched cluster.
But how do i do that? Out of 4 opcodes displayed in the inconsistency report,
which ones are the "bad ones"? Which ones are the most different from the checked-in data?
I'd need to go in to the `.yaml` and look it up manually.

The trivial solution is to, when creating clusters, don't use the full dbscan algorithm,
but instead "pick some unclustered point, pick all unclustered points that are it's neighbor,
put them all into a new cluster, repeat". And just so as it happens, we can arrive
at that algorithm by not performing the "add neighbors of a neighbor to the cluster" step.

But that won't work well once we teach analyze mode to operate in on-1D mode
(i.e. on more than a single measurement type at a time), because the clustering would
depend on the order of the measurements.

Instead, let's just create a single cluster per opcode, and put all the points of that opcode into said cluster.
And simultaneously check that every point in that cluster is a neighbor of every other point in the cluster,
and if they are not, the cluster (==opcode) is unstable.

This is //yet another// step to bring me closer to being able to continue cleanup of bdver2 sched model..

Roman Lebedev 542e5d7bb5 [llvm-exegesis] Split Epsilon param into two (PR40787)
Summary:
This eps param is used for two distinct things:
* initial point clusterization
* checking clusters against the llvm values

What if one wants to only look at highly different clusters, without changing
the clustering itself? In particular, this helps to weed out noisy measurements
(since the clusterization epsilon is still small, so there is a better chance
that noisy measurements from the same opcode will go into different clusters)

By splitting it into two params it is now possible.

This is nearly-free performance-wise:

I.e. it's +2.6% slowdown for one whole sweep, or +2% for 5 whole sweeps.

Roman Lebedev 69716394f3 [llvm-exegesis] Opcode stabilization / reclusterization (PR40715)
Summary:
Given an instruction `Opcode`, we can make benchmarks (measurements) of the
instruction characteristics/performance. Then, to facilitate further analysis
we group the benchmarks with *similar* characteristics into clusters.
Now, this is all not entirely deterministic. Some instructions have variable
characteristics, depending on their arguments. And thus, if we do several
benchmarks of the same instruction `Opcode`, we may end up with *different*
performance characteristics measurements. And when we then do clustering,
these several benchmarks of the same instruction `Opcode` may end up being
clustered into *different* clusters. This is not great for further analysis.

We shall find every `Opcode` with benchmarks not in just one cluster, and move
*all* the benchmarks of said `Opcode` into one new unstable cluster per `Opcode`.

I have solved this by making `ClusterId` a bit field, adding a `IsUnstable` bit,
and introducing `-analysis-display-unstable-clusters` switch to toggle between
displaying stable-only clusters and unstable-only clusters.

The reclusterization is deterministically stable, produces identical reports
between runs. (Or at least that is what i'm seeing, maybe it isn't)

This tells us that the actual `-analysis-inconsistencies-output-file=` outputting only takes ~0.4 sec for 43970 benchmark points (3 whole sweeps)
(Also, wow this is fast, it used to take several minutes originally)

Roman Lebedev 21193f4b7e [llvm-exegesis] Don't default to running&dumping all analyses to '-'
Summary:
Up until the point i have looked in the source, i didn't even understood that
i can disable 'cluster' output. I have always silenced it via ` &> /dev/null`.
(And hoped it wasn't contributing much of the run time.)

While i expect that it has it's use-cases i never once needed it so far.
If i forget to silence it, console is completely flooded with that output.

How about not expecting users to opt-out of analyses,
but to explicitly specify the analyses that should be performed?
