// http://perf.wiki.kernel.org/) and generates IR metadata to reflect the
// profile information in the given profile.
//
// This pass generates branch weight annotations on the IR:
//
// - prof: Represents branch weights. This annotation is added to branches
// to indicate the weights of each edge coming out of the branch.
// The weight of each edge is the weight of the target block for
// that edge. The weight of a block B is computed as the maximum
// number of samples found in B.
