This is an incremental change to the promotion feature.
There are two problems with the current behavior:
1) loops with multiple exiting blocks are totally disabled
2) a counter update can only be promoted one level up in
the loop nest -- which does help much for short trip
count inner loops inside a high trip-count outer loops.
Due to this limitation, we still saw very large profile
count fluctuations from run to run for the affected loops
which are usually very hot.
This patch adds the support for promotion counters iteratively
across the loop nest. It also turns on the promotion for
loops with multiple exiting blocks (with a limit).
For single-threaded applications, the performance impact is flat
on average. For instance, dealII improves, but povray regresses.

Ensure that the new merge BB (which contains the rest of the original BB

there are additional mem ops later in the BB. Otherwise they get skipped
as the merge BB looks cold.

This patch optimizes two memory intrinsic operations: memset and memcpy based
on the profiled size of the operation. The high level transformation is like:
mem_op(..., size)
==>
switch (size) {
case s1:
mem_op(..., s1);
goto merge_bb;
case s2:
mem_op(..., s2);
goto merge_bb;
...
default:
mem_op(..., size);
goto merge_bb;
}

Summary:
In SamplePGO, if the profile is collected from non-LTO binary, and used to drive ThinLTO, the indirect call promotion may fail because ThinLTO adjusts local function names to avoid conflicts. There are two places of where the mismatch can happen:
1. thin-link prepends SourceFileName to front of FuncName to build the GUID (GlobalValue::getGlobalIdentifier). Unlike instrumentation FDO, SamplePGO does not use the PGOFuncName scheme and therefore the indirect call target profile data contains a hash of the OriginalName.
2. backend compiler promotes some local functions to global and appends .llvm.{$ModuleHash} to the end of the FuncName to derive PromotedFunctionName
This patch tries at the best effort to find the GUID from the original local function name (in profile), and use that in ICP promotion, and in SamplePGO matching that happens in the backend after importing/inlining:
1. in thin-link, it builds the map from OriginalName to GUID so that when thin-link reads in indirect call target profile (represented by OriginalName), it knows which GUID to import.
2. in backend compiler, if sample profile reader cannot find a profile match for PromotedFunctionName, it will try to find if there is a match for OriginalFunctionName.
3. in backend compiler, we build symbol table entry for OriginalFunctionName and pointer to the same symbol of PromotedFunctionName, so that ICP can find the correct target to promote.

Current internal option -static-func-full-module-prefix keeps all the
directory path the profile counter names for static functions. The default
of this option is false. This strips the directory names from the source
filename which is problematic:
(1) it creates linker errors for profile-generation compilation, exposed in
our internal benchmarks. We are seeing messages like
"warning: relocation refers to discarded section".
This is due to the name conflicts after the stripping.
(2) the stripping only applies to getPGOFuncName.
Current Thin-LTO module importing for the indirect-calls assumes
the source directory name not being stripped. Current default value
for this option can potentially prevent some inter-module
indirect-call-promotions.
This patch turns the default value for -static-func-full-module-prefix to true.
The second part of the patch is to have an alternative implementation under
the internal option -static-func-strip-dirname-prefix=<value>
This options specifies level of directories to be stripped from the source
filename. Using a large value as the parameter has the same effect as
-static-func-full-module-prefix.

Summary: SamplePGO uses branch_weight annotation to represent callsite hotness. When ICP promotes an indirect call to direct call, we need to make sure the direct call is annotated with branch_weight in SamplePGO mode, so that downstream function inliner can use hot callsite heuristic.

This reverts 295092 (re-applies 295084), with a fix for dangling
references from the array of coverage names passed down from frontends.
I missed this in my initial testing because I only checked test/Profile,
and not test/CoverageMapping as well.
Original commit message:
The profile name variables passed to counter increment intrinsics are dead
after we emit the finalized name data in __llvm_prf_nm. However, we neglect to
erase these name variables. This causes huge size increases in the
__TEXT,__const section as well as slowdowns when linker dead stripping is
disabled. Some affected projects are so massive that they fail to link on
Darwin, because only the small code model is supported.
Fix the issue by throwing away the name constants as soon as we're done with
them.

This patch reverts r291588: [PGO] Turn off comdat renaming in IR PGO by default,
as we are seeing some hash mismatches in our internal tests.
llvm-svn: 291621
Summary:
In IR PGO we append the function hash to comdat functions to avoid the
potential hash mismatch. This turns out not legal in some cases: if the comdat
function is address-taken and used in comparison. Renaming changes the semantic.
This patch turns off comdat renaming by default.
To alleviate the hash mismatch issue, we now rename the profile variable
for comdat functions. Profile allows co-existing multiple versions of profiles
with different hash value. The inlined copy will always has the correct profile
counter. The out-of-line copy might not have the correct count. But we will
not have the bogus mismatch warning.

For -O0 there might be unreachable BBs, which breaks the assumption that all the

Pre-instrumentation inline (pre-inliner) greatly improves the IR
instrumentation code performance, among other benefits. One issue of the
pre-inliner is it can introduce CFG-mismatch for COMDAT functions. This
is due to the fact that the same COMDAT function may have different early
inline decisions across different modules -- that means different copies
of COMDAT functions will have different CFG checksum.
In this patch, we propose a partially renaming the COMDAT group and its
member function/variable so we have different profile counter for each
version. We will post-fix the COMDAT function and the group name with its
FunctionHash.

Summary:
To enable profile-guided indirect call promotion in ThinLTO mode, we
simply add call graph edges for each profitable target from the profile
to the summaries, then the summary-guided importing will consider the
callee for importing as usual.
Also we need to enable the indirect call promotion pass creation in the
PassManagerBuilder when PerformThinLTO=true (we are in the ThinLTO
backend), so that the newly imported functions are considered for
promotion in the backends.
The IC promotion profiles refer to callees by GUID, which required
adding GUIDs to the per-module VST in bitcode (and assigning them
valueIds similar to how they are assigned valueIds in the combined
index).

This patch adds a selected set of cleanup passes including a pre-inline pass
before LLVM IR PGO instrumentation. The inline is only intended to apply those
obvious/trivial ones before instrumentation so that much less instrumentation
is needed to get better profiling information. This will drastically improve
the instrumented code performance for large C++ applications. Another benefit
is the context sensitive counts that can potentially improve the PGO
optimization.

Inline virtual functions has linkeonceodr linkage (emitted in comdat on
supporting targets). If the vtable for the class is not emitted in the
defining module, function won't be address taken thus its address is not
recorded. At the mercy of the linker, if the per-func prf_data from this
module (in comdat) is picked at link time, we will lose mapping from
function address to its hash val. This leads to missing icall promotion.
The second test case (currently disabled) in compiler_rt (r271528):
instrprof-icall-prom.test demostrates the bug. The first profile-use
subtest is fine due to linker order difference.
With this change, no missing icall targets is found in instrumented clang's
raw profile.
