profile symbol list.
Currently many existing users using profile-sample-accurate want to reduce
code size as much as possible. Their use cases are different from the scenario
profile symbol list tries to handle -- the major motivation of adding profile
symbol list is to get the major memory/code size saving without introduce
performance regression. So to keep the behavior of profile-sample-accurate
unchanged, we think decoupling these two things and using a new flag to
control the handling of profile symbol list may be better.
When profile-sample-accurate and the new flag profile-accurate-for-symsinlist
are both present, since profile-sample-accurate is a user assertion we let it
have a higher precedence.

In rL372232, we treated names showing up in profile as not cold when
profile-sample-accurate is enabled. This caused 70k size regression in
Chrome/Android. The patch put a guard and only enable the change when
profile symbol list is available, i.e., keep the old behavior when profile
symbol list is not available.

We can save memory and reduce binary size significantly by enabling
ProfileSampleAccurate. However when ProfileSampleAccurate is true,
function without sample will be regarded as cold and this could
potentially cause performance regression.
To minimize the potential negative performance impact, we want to be
a little conservative here saying if a function shows up in the profile,
no matter as outline instance, inline instance or call targets, treat
the function as not being cold. This will handle the cases such as most
callsites of a function are inlined in sampled binary (thus outline copy
don't get any sample) but not inlined in current build (because of source
code drift, imprecise debug information, or the callsites are all cold
individually but not cold accumulatively...), so that the outline function
showing up as cold in sampled binary will actually not be cold after current
build. After the change, such function will be treated as not cold even
profile-sample-accurate is enabled.
At the same time we lower the hot criteria of callsiteIsHot check when
profile-sample-accurate is enabled. callsiteIsHot is used to determined
whether a callsite is hot and qualified for early inlining. When
profile-sample-accurate is enabled, functions without profile will be
regarded as cold and much less inlining will happen in CGSCC inlining pass,
so we can worry less about size increase and be aggressive to allow more
early inlining to happen for warm callsites and it is helpful for performance
overall.
