This is useful for debugging issues in the BlockFrequency implementation since
one can easily visualize where probability mass and other errors occur in the
propagation.

- readInt() should check all 4 bytes can be read, not just 1.
- In the event of false data in the gcno file, it was possible to index

According to the hazy gcov documentation, it appeared to be technically
possible for lines within a block to belong to different source files.
However, upon further investigation, gcov does not actually support
multiple source files for a single block.
This change removes a level of separation between blocks and lines by
replacing the StringMap of GCOVLines with a SmallVector of ints
representing line numbers. This also means that the GCOVLines class is
no longer needed.
This paves the way for supporting the "-a" option, which will output
block information.

Unified the interface for read functions. They all return a boolean
indicating if the read from file succeeded. Functions that previously
returned the read value now store it into a variable that is passed in
by reference instead. Callers will need to check the return value to
detect if an error occurred.
Also added a new test which ensures that no assertions occur when file
contains invalid data. llvm-cov should return with error code 1 upon
failure.

Accepting quotes is a property of an assembler, not of an object file. For
example, ELF can support any names for sections and symbols, but the gnu
assembler only accepts quotes in some contexts and llvm-mc in a few more.
LLVM should not produce different symbols based on a guess about which assembler
will be reading the code it is printing.

This adds a new scalar pass that reads a file with samples generated
by 'perf' during runtime. The samples read from the profile are
incorporated and emmited as IR metadata reflecting that profile.
The profile file is assumed to have been generated by an external
profile source. The profile information is converted into IR metadata,
which is later used by the analysis routines to estimate block
frequencies, edge weights and other related data.
External profile information files have no fixed format, each profiler
is free to define its own. This includes both the on-disk representation
of the profile and the kind of profile information stored in the file.
A common kind of profile is based on sampling (e.g., perf), which
essentially counts how many times each line of the program has been
executed during the run.
The SampleProfileLoader pass is organized as a scalar transformation.
On startup, it reads the file given in -sample-profile-file to
determine what kind of profile it contains. This file is assumed to
contain profile information for the whole application. The profile
data in the file is read and incorporated into the internal state of
the corresponding profiler.
To facilitate testing, I've organized the profilers to support two file
formats: text and native. The native format is whatever on-disk
representation the profiler wants to support, I think this will mostly
be bitcode files, but it could be anything the profiler wants to
support. To do this, every profiler must implement the
SampleProfile::loadNative() function.
The text format is mostly meant for debugging. Records are separated by
newlines, but each profiler is free to interpret records as it sees fit.
Profilers must implement the SampleProfile::loadText() function.
Finally, the pass will call SampleProfile::emitAnnotations() for each
function in the current translation unit. This function needs to
translate the loaded profile into IR metadata, which the analyzer will
later be able to use.
This patch implements the first steps towards the above design. I've
implemented a sample-based flat profiler. The format of the profile is
fairly simplistic. Each sampled function contains a list of relative
line locations (from the start of the function) together with a count
representing how many samples were collected at that line during
execution. I generate this profile using perf and a separate converter
tool.
Currently, I have only implemented a text format for these profiles. I
am interested in initial feedback to the whole approach before I send
the other parts of the implementation for review.
This patch implements:
- The SampleProfileLoader pass.
- The base ExternalProfile class with the core interface.
- A SampleProfile sub-class using the above interface. The profiler
generates branch weight metadata on every branch instructions that
matches the profiles.
- A text loader class to assist the implementation of
SampleProfile::loadText().
- Basic unit tests for the pass.
Additionally, the patch uses profile information to compute branch
weights based on instruction samples.
This patch converts instruction samples into branch weights. It
does a fairly simplistic conversion:
Given a multi-way branch instruction, it calculates the weight of
each branch based on the maximum sample count gathered from each
target basic block.
Note that this assignment of branch weights is somewhat lossy and can be
misleading. If a basic block has more than one incoming branch, all the
incoming branches will get the same weight. In reality, it may be that
only one of them is the most heavily taken branch.
I will adjust this assignment in subsequent patches.

more smarts in it. This is where most of the interesting logic that used
to live in the implicit-scheduling-hackery of the old pass manager will
live.
Like the previous commits, note that this is a very early prototype!
I expect substantial changes before this is ready to use.
The core of the design is the following:
- We have an AnalysisManager which can be used across a series of
passes over a module.
- The code setting up a pass pipeline registers the analyses available
with the manager.
- Individual transform passes can check than an analysis manager
provides the analyses they require in order to fail-fast.
- There is *no* implicit registration or scheduling.
- Analysis passes are different from other passes: they produce an
analysis result that is cached and made available via the analysis
manager.
- Cached results are invalidated automatically by the pass managers.
- When a transform pass requests an analysis result, either the analysis
is run to produce the result or a cached result is provided.
There are a few aspects of this design that I *know* will change in
subsequent commits:
- Currently there is no "preservation" system, that needs to be added.
- All of the analysis management should move up to the analysis library.
- The analysis management needs to support at least SCC passes. Maybe
loop passes. Living in the analysis library will facilitate this.
- Need support for analyses which are *both* module and function passes.
- Need support for pro-actively running module analyses to have cached
results within a function pass manager.
- Need a clear design for "immutable" passes.
- Need support for requesting cached results when available and not
re-running the pass even if that would be necessary.
- Need more thorough testing of all of this infrastructure.
There are other aspects that I view as open questions I'm hoping to
resolve as I iterate a bit on the infrastructure, and especially as
I start writing actual passes against this.
- Should we have separate management layers for function, module, and
SCC analyses? I think "yes", but I'm not yet ready to switch the code.
Adding SCC support will likely resolve this definitively.
- How should the 'require' functionality work? Should *that* be the only
way to request results to ensure that passes always require things?
- How should preservation work?
- Probably some other things I'm forgetting. =]
Look forward to more patches in shorter order now that this is in place.

Add user-supplied C runtime and compiler-rt library functions to
llvm.compiler.used to protect them from premature optimization by
passes like -globalopt and -ipsccp. Calls to (seemingly unused)

Based on discussions with Lang Hames and Jakob Stoklund Olesen at the hacker's lab, and in the light of upcoming work on the PBQP register allocator, it was though that CalcSpillWeights does not need to be a pass. This change will enable to customize / tune the spill weight computation depending on the allocator.

This is still just a skeleton. I'm trying to pull together the
experimentation I've done into committable chunks, and this is the first
coherent one. Others will follow in hopefully short order that move this
more toward a useful initial implementation. I still expect the design
to continue evolving in small ways as I work through the different
requirements and features needed here though.
Keep in mind, all of this is off by default.
Currently, this mostly exercises the use of a polymorphic smart pointer
and templates to hide the polymorphism for the pass manager from the
pass implementation. The next step will be more significant, adding the
first framework of analysis support.

give the files a legacy prefix in the right directory. Use forwarding
headers in the old locations to paper over the name change for most
clients during the transitional period.
No functionality changed here! This is just clearing some space to
reduce renaming churn later on with a new system.
Even when the new stuff starts to go in, it is going to be hidden behind
a flag and off-by-default as it is still WIP and under development.
This patch is specifically designed so that very little out-of-tree code
has to change. I'm going to work as hard as I can to keep that the case.
Only direct forward declarations of the PassManager class are impacted
by this change.

unique ownership smart pointer which is *deep* copyable by assuming it
can call a T::clone() method to allocate a copy of the owned data.
This is mostly useful with containers or other collections of uniquely
owned data in C++98 where they *might* copy. With C++11 we can likely
remove this in favor of move-only types and containers wrapped around
those types.

This patch moves the jump address materialization inside the noop slide. This
enables patching of the materialization itself or its complete removal. This
patch also adds the ability to define scratch registers that can be used safely
by the code called from the patchpoint intrinsic. At least one scratch register
is required, because that one is used for the materialization of the jump
address. This patch depends on D2009.

The new graph structure replaces the node and edge linked lists with vectors.
Free lists (well, free vectors) are used for fast insertion/deletion.
The ultimate aim is to make PBQP graphs cheap to clone. The motivation is that
the PBQP solver destructively consumes input graphs while computing a solution,
forcing the graph to be fully reconstructed for each round of PBQP. This
imposes a high cost on large functions, which often require several rounds of
solving/spilling to find a final register allocation. If we can cheaply clone
the PBQP graph and incrementally update it between rounds then hopefully we can
reduce this cost. Further, once we begin pooling matrix/vector values (future
work), we can cache some PBQP solver metadata and share it between cloned
graphs, allowing the PBQP solver to re-use some of the computation done in
earlier rounds.
For now this is just a data structure update. The allocator and solver still
use the graph the same way as before, fully reconstructing it between each
round. I expect no material change from this update, although it may change
the iteration order of the nodes, causing ties in the solver to break in
different directions, and this could perturb the generated allocations
(hopefully in a completely benign way).
Thanks very much to Arnaud Allard de Grandmaison for encouraging me to get back
to work on this, and for a lot of discussion and many useful PBQP test cases.

The idea of the AnyReg Calling Convention is to provide the call arguments in
registers, but not to force them to be placed in a paticular order into a
specified set of registers. Instead it is up tp the register allocator to assign
any register as it sees fit. The same applies to the return value (if
applicable).
