The current implementation for computing relative block frequencies does
not handle correctly control-flow graphs containing irreducible loops. This
results in suboptimally generated binaries, whose perf can be up to 5%
worse than optimal.
To resolve the problem, we apply a post-processing step, which iteratively
updates block frequencies based on the frequencies of their predesessors.
This corresponds to finding the stationary point of the Markov chain by
an iterative method aka "PageRank computation". The algorithm takes at
most O(|E| * IterativeBFIMaxIterations) steps but typically converges faster.
It is turned on by passing option `use-iterative-bfi-inference`
and applied only for functions containing profile data and irreducible loops.
Tested on SPEC06/17, where it is helping to get correct profile counts for one of
the binaries (403.gcc). In prod binaries, we've seen a speedup of up to 2%-5%
for binaries containing functions with hot irreducible loops.

Summary:
Add a debug check for frequency queries for unknown blocks (typically blocks
that are created after BFI is computed but their frequencies are not
communicated to BFI.)
This is useful for detecting and debugging missed BFI updates.
This is debug build only and disabled behind a flag.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Profile count of a block is computed by multiplying its block frequency
by entry count and dividing the result by entry block frequency. Do

The DEBUG() macro is very generic so it might clash with other projects.
The renaming was done as follows:
- git grep -l 'DEBUG' | xargs sed -i 's/\bDEBUG\s\?(/LLVM_DEBUG(/g'
- git diff -U0 master | ../clang/tools/clang-format/clang-format-diff.py -i -p1 -style LLVM
- Manual change to APInt
- Manually chage DOCS as regex doesn't match it.
In the transition period the DEBUG() macro is still present and aliased
to the LLVM_DEBUG() one.

We've been running doxygen with the autobrief option for a couple of

See r331124 for how I made a list of files missing the include.
I then ran this Python script:
for f in open('filelist.txt'):
f = f.strip()
fl = open(f).readlines()
found = False
for i in xrange(len(fl)):
p = '#include "llvm/'
if not fl[i].startswith(p):
continue
if fl[i][len(p):] > 'Config':
fl.insert(i, '#include "llvm/Config/llvm-config.h"\n')
found = True
break
if not found:
print 'not found', f
else:
open(f, 'w').write(''.join(fl))
and then looked through everything with `svn diff | diffstat -l | xargs -n 1000 gvim -p`
and tried to fix include ordering and whatnot.
No intended behavior change.

Summary:
r327219 added wrappers to std::sort which randomly shuffle the container before sorting.
This will help in uncovering non-determinism caused due to undefined sorting
order of objects having the same key.
To make use of that infrastructure we need to invoke llvm::sort instead of std::sort.
Note: This patch is one of a series of patches to replace *all* std::sort to llvm::sort.

Summary:
Currently the block frequency analysis is an approximation for irreducible
loops.
The new irreducible loop metadata is used to annotate the irreducible loop
headers with their header weights based on the PGO profile (currently this is
approximated to be evenly weighted) and to help improve the accuracy of the
block frequency analysis for irreducible loops.
This patch is a basic support for this.

Currently in JumpThreading pass, the branch weight metadata is not updated after CFG modification. Consider the jump threading on PredBB, BB, and SuccBB. After jump threading, the weight on BB->SuccBB should be adjusted as some of it is contributed by the edge PredBB->BB, which doesn't exist anymore. This patch tries to update the edge weight in metadata on BB->SuccBB by scaling it by 1 - Freq(PredBB->BB) / Freq(BB->SuccBB).
This is the third attempt to submit this patch, while the first two led to failures in some FDO tests. After investigation, it is the edge weight normalization that caused those failures. In this patch the edge weight normalization is fixed so that there is no zero weight in the output and the sum of all weights can fit in 32-bit integer. Several unit tests are added.

This corner case happens when we have an irreducible SCC that is
deeply nested. As we work down the tree, the backedge masses start
getting smaller and smaller until we reach one that is down to 0.
Since we distribute the incoming mass using the backedge masses as
weight, the distributor does not allow zero weights. So, we simply
ignore them (which will just use the weights of the non-zero nodes).

Summary:
When propagating mass through irregular loops, the mass flowing through
each loop header may not be equal. This was causing wrong frequencies
to be computed for irregular loop headers.
Fixed by keeping track of masses flowing through each of the headers in
an irregular loop. To do this, we now keep track of per-header backedge
weights. After the loop mass is distributed through the loop, the
backedge weights are used to re-distribute the loop mass to the loop
headers.
Since each backedge will have a mass proportional to the different
branch weights, the loop headers will end up with a more approximate
weight distribution (as opposed to the current distribution that assumes
that every loop header is the same).

Summary:
This is part 1 of fixes to address the problems described in
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22719.
The restriction to limit loop scales to 4,096 does not really prevent
overflows anymore, as the underlying algorithm has changed and does
not seem to suffer from this problem.
Additionally, artificially restricting loop scales to such a low number
skews frequency information, making loops of equal hotness appear to
have very different hotness properties.
The only loops that are artificially restricted to a scale of 4096 are
infinite loops (those loops with an exit mass of 0). This prevents
infinite loops from skewing the frequencies of other regions in the CFG.
At the end of propagation, frequencies are scaled to values that take no
more than 64 bits to represent. When the range of frequencies to be
represented fits within 61 bits, it pushes up the scaling factor to a
minimum of 8 to better distinguish small frequency values. Otherwise,
small frequency values are all saturated down at 1.
Tested on x86_64.

When a loop gets bundled up, its outgoing edges are quite large, and can
just barely overflow 64-bits. If one successor has multiple incoming
edges -- and that successor is getting all the incoming mass --
combining just its edges can overflow. Handle that by saturating rather
than asserting.
This fixes PR21622.

Implementation is small now -- the interesting logic was moved to
`BranchProbability` a while ago. Move it into `bfi_detail` and get rid
of the related TODOs.
I was originally planning to define it within `BlockFrequencyInfoImpl`
(or `BFIIBase`), but it seems cleaner in a namespace. Besides,
`isPodLike` needs to be specialized before `BlockMass` can be used in
some of the other data structures, and there isn't a clear way to do
that.
