// This file implements basic block placement transformations using the CFG
// structure and branch probability estimates.
//
// The pass strives to preserve the structure of the CFG (that is, retain
// a topological ordering of basic blocks) in the absence of a *strong* signal
// to the contrary from probabilities. However, within the CFG structure, it
// attempts to choose an ordering which favors placing more likely sequences of
// blocks adjacent to each other.
//
// The algorithm works from the inner-most loop within a function outward, and
// at each stage walks through the basic blocks, trying to coalesce them into
// sequential chains where allowed by the CFG (or demanded by heavy
// probabilities). Finally, it walks the blocks in topological order, and the
// first time it reaches a chain of basic blocks, it schedules them in the
// function in-order.

// In this case, we are evaluating whether to select edge -> Succ, e.g.
// set Succ as the layout successor of BB. Picking Succ as BB's

// With this layout, Pred BB
// is forced to be outlined, so the overall cost will be cost of the
// branch taken from BB to Pred, plus the cost of back taken branch
// from Pred to Succ, as well as the additional cost associated
// with the needed unconditional jump instruction from Pred To Succ.
// The cost of the topological order layout is the taken branch cost
// from BB to Succ, so to make BB->Succ a viable candidate, the following
// must hold:
// 2 * freq(BB->Pred) * taken_branch_cost + unconditional_jump_cost
// < freq(BB->Succ) * taken_branch_cost.
// Ignoring unconditional jump cost, we get
// freq(BB->Succ) > 2 * freq(BB->Pred), i.e.,
// prob(BB->Succ) > 2 * prob(BB->Pred)
//
// When real profile data is available, we can precisely compute the
// probability threshold that is needed for edge BB->Succ to be considered.
// Without profile data, the heuristic requires the branch bias to be
// a lot larger to make sure the signal is very strong (e.g. 80% default).
// -----------------------------------------------------------------
// Case 2: diamond like CFG (if-then-else):
// S
// / \
// | \
// BB Pred
// \ /
// Succ
// ..
//
// The current block is BB and edge BB->Succ is now being evaluated.
// Note that edge S->BB was previously already selected because
// prob(S->BB) > prob(S->Pred).
// At this point, 2 blocks can be placed after BB: Pred or Succ. If we
// choose Pred, we will have a topological ordering as shown on the left
// in the picture below. If we choose Succ, we have the solution as shown
// on the right:
//
// topo-order:
//
// S----- ---S
// | | | |
// ---BB | | BB
// | | | |
// | pred-- | Succ--
// | | | |
// ---succ ---pred--
//
// cost = freq(S->Pred) + freq(BB->Succ) cost = 2 * freq (S->Pred)
// = freq(S->Pred) + freq(S->BB)
//
// If we have profile data (i.e, branch probabilities can be trusted), the
// cost (number of taken branches) with layout S->BB->Succ->Pred is 2 *
// freq(S->Pred) while the cost of topo order is freq(S->Pred) + freq(S->BB).
// We know Prob(S->BB) > Prob(S->Pred), so freq(S->BB) > freq(S->Pred), which
// means the cost of topological order is greater.
// When profile data is not available, however, we need to be more
// conservative. If the branch prediction is wrong, breaking the topo-order
// will actually yield a layout with large cost. For this reason, we need
// strong biased branch at block S with Prob(S->BB) in order to select
// BB->Succ. This is equivalent to looking the CFG backward with backward
// edge: Prob(Succ->BB) needs to >= HotProb in order to be selected (without
// profile data).
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Case 3: forked diamond
// S
// / \
// / \
// BB Pred
// | \ / |
// | \ / |
// | X |
// | / \ |
// | / \ |
// S1 S2
//
// The current block is BB and edge BB->S1 is now being evaluated.
// As above S->BB was already selected because
// prob(S->BB) > prob(S->Pred). Assume that prob(BB->S1) >= prob(BB->S2).
//
// topo-order:
//
// S-------| ---S
// | | | |
// ---BB | | BB
// | | | |
// | Pred----| | S1----
// | | | |
// --(S1 or S2) ---Pred--
//
// topo-cost = freq(S->Pred) + freq(BB->S1) + freq(BB->S2)
// + min(freq(Pred->S1), freq(Pred->S2))
// Non-topo-order cost:
// In the worst case, S2 will not get laid out after Pred.
// non-topo-cost = 2 * freq(S->Pred) + freq(BB->S2).
// To be conservative, we can assume that min(freq(Pred->S1), freq(Pred->S2))
// is 0. Then the non topo layout is better when
