Binary encoded profiles used to encode all function names inline at
every reference. This is clearly suboptimal in terms of space. This
patch fixes this by adding a name table to the header of the file.

This fixes memory allocation problems by making the merge operation keep
the profile readers around until the merged profile has been emitted.
This is needed to prevent the inlined function names to disappear from
the function profiles. Since all the names are kept as references, once
the reader disappears, the names are also deallocated.
Additionally, XFAIL on big-endian architectures. The test case uses a
gcov file generated on a little-endian system.

This patch adds support for reading sample profiles with inline stacks.
Inline stacks in a profile are generated when the sampled binary has
samples in inlined functions.
For instance, if main() calls foo() and foo() calls bar(), and bar() is
inlined into foo() and foo() inlined into main(), the profile may look
something like:
main total:364084 head:0
[ ... ]
2.3: _Z3fool total:243786
1: 60149
1.2: 38568
1.4: 46511
1.7: _Z3bari total:98558
1.1: 52672
1.2: 45886
At line 2, discriminator 3, main() calls foo(). In turn, foo() calls
bar() at line 1, discriminator 7.
In the textual format, this stacking of inline calls is represented
with indentation.
With this change, LLVM can now read sample profile files generated by
the create_gcov tool from https://github.com/google/autofdo.
llvm-svn: 249644
This adds enough machinery to support reading simple GCC AutoFDO
profiles. It now supports reading flat profiles (no function calls).
Subsequent patches will add support for:
- Inlined calls (in particular, the inline call stack is not traversed
to accumulate samples).
- Working sets and modules. These are used mostly for GCC's LIPO
optimizations, so they're not needed in LLVM atm. I'm not sure that
we will ever need them. For now, I've if0'd around the calls.
The patch also adds support in GCOV.h for gcov version V704 (generated
by GCC's profile conversion tool).

utils/sort_includes.py.
I clearly haven't done this in a while, so more changed than usual. This
even uncovered a missing include from the InstrProf library that I've
added. No functionality changed here, just mechanical cleanup of the
include order.

Summary:
This patch extends the 'show' and 'merge' commands in llvm-profdata to handle
sample PGO formats. Using the 'merge' command it is now possible to convert
one sample PGO format to another.
The only format that is currently not working is 'gcc'. I still need to
implement support for it in lib/ProfileData.
The changes in the sample profile support classes are needed for the
merge operation.

Summary:
This patch finishes up support for handling sampling profiles in both
text and binary formats. The new binary format uses uleb128 encoding to
represent numeric values. This makes profiles files about 25% smaller.
The profile writer class can write profiles in the existing text and the
new binary format. In subsequent patches, I will add the capability to
read (and perhaps write) profiles in the gcov format used by GCC.
Additionally, I will be adding support in llvm-profdata to manipulate
sampling profiles.
There was a bit of refactoring needed to separate some code that was in
the reader files, but is actually common to both the reader and writer.
The new test checks that reading the same profile encoded as text or
raw, produces the same results.
