Sample profiles are stored in a string map which is basically an unordered map. Printing out profiles by simply walking the string map doesn't enforce an order. I'm sorting the map in the decreasing order of total samples to enable a more stable dump, which is good for comparing two dumps.

Change `CountersPtr` in `__profd_` to a label difference, which is a link-time
constant. On ELF, when linking a shared object, this requires that `__profc_` is
either private or linkonce/linkonce_odr hidden. On COFF, we need D104564 so that
`.quad a-b` (64-bit label difference) can lower to a 32-bit PC-relative relocation.
```
# ELF: R_X86_64_PC64 (PC-relative)
.quad .L__profc_foo-.L__profd_foo
# Mach-O: a pair of 8-byte X86_64_RELOC_UNSIGNED and X86_64_RELOC_SUBTRACTOR
.quad l___profc_foo-l___profd_foo
# COFF: we actually use IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32/IMAGE_REL_ARM64_REL32 so
# the high 32-bit value is zero even if .L__profc_foo < .L__profd_foo
# As compensation, we truncate CountersDelta in the header so that
# __llvm_profile_merge_from_buffer and llvm-profdata reader keep working.
.quad .L__profc_foo-.L__profd_foo

(Note: link.exe sorts `.lprfc` before `.lprfd` even if the object writer
has `.lprfd` before `.lprfc`, so we cannot work around by reordering
`.lprfc` and `.lprfd`.)

Previously dangling samples were represented by INT64_MAX in sample profile while probes never executed were not reported. This was based on an observation that dangling probes were only at a smaller portion than zero-count probes. However, with compiler optimizations, dangling probes end up becoming at large portion of all probes in general and reporting them does not make sense from profile size point of view. This change flips sample reporting by reporting zero-count probes instead. This enabled dangling probe to be represented by none (missing entry in profile). This has a couple benefits:
1. Reducing sample profile size in optimize mode, even when the number of non-executed probes outperform the number of dangling probes, since INT64_MAX takes more space over 0 to encode.
2. Binary size savings. No need to encode dangling probe anymore, since missing probes are treated as dangling in the profile reader.
3. Reducing compiler work to track dangling probes. However, for probes that are real dead and removed, we still need the compiler to identify them so that they can be reported as zero-count, instead of mistreated as dangling probes.
4. Improving counts quality by respecting the counts already collected on the non-dangling copy of a probe. A probe, when duplicated, gets two copies at runtime. If one of them is dangling while the other is not, merging the two probes at profile generation time will cause the real samples collected on the non-dangling one to be discarded. Not reporting the dangling counterpart will keep the real samples.
5. Better readability.
6. Be consistent with non-CS dwarf line number based profile. Zero counts are trusted by the compiler counts inferencer while missing counts will be inferred by the compiler.
Note that the current patch does include any work for #3. There will be follow-up changes.
For #1, I've seen for a large Facebook service, the text profile is reduced by 7%. For extbinary profile, the size of LBRProfileSection is reduced by 35%.
For #4, I have seen general counts quality for SPEC2017 is improved by 10%.

For source-based coverage, the frontend sets the counter IDs and the
constraints of counter IDs is not defined. For e.g., the Rust frontend
until recently had a reserved counter #0
(https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/83774). Rust coverage
instrumentation also creates counters on edges in addition to basic
blocks. Some functions may have more counters than regions.
This breaks an assumption in CoverageMapping.cpp where the number of
counters in a function is assumed to be bounded by the number of
regions:
Counts.assign(Record.MappingRegions.size(), 0);
This assumption causes CounterMappingContext::evaluate() to fail since
there are not enough counter values created in the above call to
`Counts.assign`. Consequently, some uncovered functions are not
reported in coverage reports.
This change walks a Function's CoverageMappingRecord to find the maximum
counter ID, and uses it to initialize the counter array when instrprof
records are missing for a function in sparse profiles.

1. Fix bugs where StringRef for context string out live the underlying std::string. We now keep string table in profile generator to hold std::strings. We also do the same for bracketed context strings in profile writer.
2. Make sure profile output strictly follow (total sample, name) order. Previously, there's inconsistency between ProfileMap's key and FunctionSamples's name, leading to inconsistent ordering. This is now fixed by introducing context profile canonicalization. Assertions are also added to make sure ProfileMap's key and FunctionSamples's name are always consistent.
3. Enhanced error handling for profile writing to make sure we bubble up errors properly for both llvm-profgen and llvm-profdata when string table is not populated correctly for extended binary profile.

Problem:
On SystemZ we need to open text files in text mode. On Windows, files opened in text mode adds a CRLF '\r\n' which may not be desirable.
Solution:
This patch adds two new flags
- OF_CRLF which indicates that CRLF translation is used.
- OF_TextWithCRLF = OF_Text | OF_CRLF indicates that the file is text and uses CRLF translation.
Developers should now use either the OF_Text or OF_TextWithCRLF for text files and OF_None for binary files. If the developer doesn't want carriage returns on Windows, they should use OF_Text, if they do want carriage returns on Windows, they should use OF_TextWithCRLF.
So this is the behaviour per platform with my patch:
z/OS:
OF_None: open in binary mode
OF_Text : open in text mode
OF_TextWithCRLF: open in text mode
Windows:
OF_None: open file with no carriage return
OF_Text: open file with no carriage return
OF_TextWithCRLF: open file with carriage return
The Major change is in llvm/lib/Support/Windows/Path.inc to only set text mode if the OF_CRLF is set.
```
if (Flags & OF_CRLF)
CrtOpenFlags |= _O_TEXT;
```
These following files are the ones that still use OF_Text which I left unchanged. I modified all these except raw_ostream.cpp in recent patches so I know these were previously in Binary mode on Windows.

For ThinLTO's prelink compilation, we need to put external inline candidates into an import list attached to function's entry count metadata. This enables ThinLink to treat such cross module callee as hot in summary index, and later helps postlink to import them for profile guided cross module inlining.
For AutoFDO, the import list is retrieved by traversing the nested inlinee functions. For CSSPGO, since profile is flatterned, a few things need to happen for it to work:
- When loading input profile in extended binary format, we need to load all child context profile whose parent is in current module, so context trie for current module includes potential cross module inlinee.
- In order to make the above happen, we need to know whether input profile is CSSPGO profile before start reading function profile, hence a flag for profile summary section is added.
- When searching for cross module inline candidate, we need to walk through the context trie instead of nested inlinee profile (callsite sample of AutoFDO profile).
- Now that we have more accurate counts with CSSPGO, we swtiched to use entry count instead of total count to decided if an external callee is potentially beneficial to inline. This make it consistent with how we determine whether call tagert is potential inline candidate.

now -funique-internal-linkage-name flag is available, and we want to flip
it on by default since it is beneficial to have separate sample profiles
for different internal symbols with the same name. As a preparation, we
want to avoid regression caused by the flip.
When we flip -funique-internal-linkage-name on, the profile is collected
from binary built without -funique-internal-linkage-name so it has no uniq
suffix, but the IR in the optimized build contains the suffix. This kind of
mismatch may introduce transient regression.
To avoid such mismatch, we introduce a NameTable section flag indicating
whether there is any name in the profile containing uniq suffix. Compiler
will decide whether to keep uniq suffix during name canonicalization
depending on the NameTable section flag. The flag is only available for
extbinary format. For other formats, by default compiler will keep uniq
suffix so they will only experience transient regression when
-funique-internal-linkage-name is just flipped.
Another type of regression is caused by places where we miss to call
getCanonicalFnName. Those places are fixed.

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.

Dangling probes are the probes associated to an empty block. This usually happens when all real instructions are optimized away from the block. There is a problem with dangling probes during the offline counts processing. The way the sample profiler works is that samples collected on the first physical instruction following a probe will be counted towards the probe. This logically equals to treating the instruction next to a probe as if it is from the same block of the probe. In the dangling probe case, the real instruction following a dangling probe actually starts a new block, and samples collected on the new block may cause issues when counted towards the empty block.
To mitigate this issue, we first try to move around a dangling probe inside its owning block. If there are still native instructions preceding the probe in the same block, we can then use them as a place holder to collect samples for the probe. A pass is added to walk each block backwards looking for probes not followed by any real instruction and moving them before the first real instruction. This is done right before the object emission.
If we are unlucky to find such in-block preceding instructions for a probe, the solution we are taking is to tag such probe as dangling so that the samples reported for them will not be trusted by the compiler. We leave it up to the counts inference algorithm to get such probes a reasonable count. The number `UINT64_MAX` is used to mark sample count as collected for a dangling probe.

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.
