If .gcda is corrupted, gcov continues to produce a .gcov and just
assumes execution counts are zeros. This is reasonable, because the
program can corrupt its .gcda output. The code path should be similar to
the code path without .gcda.
Between gcov 4.9~8, `gcov -i $file` prints coverage information to
$file.gcov in an intermediate text format (single file, instead of
$source.gcov for each source file).
lcov newer than 2019-05-24 detects -i support and uses it to increase
processing speed. gcov 9 (GCC r265587) removed --intermediate-format
and -i was changed to mean --json-format. However, we consider this
format still useful and support it. geninfo (part of lcov) supports this
format even if we announce that we are compatible with gcov 9.0.0
gcov by default prints to a .gcov file. With --stdout, stdout is used.
Some summary information is omitted. There is no separator for multiple
source files.
GCDAProfiling.c unnecessarily writes function names to .gcda files.
GCC 4.2 gcc/libgcov.c (now renamed to libgcc/libgcov*) did not write function
names. gcov-7 (compatible) crashes on .gcda produced by libclang_rt.profile
rL176173 realized the problem and introduced a mode to remove function
names.
llvm-cov code apparently takes GCDAProfiling.c output format as truth
and tries to decode function names. Additionally, llvm-cov tries to
decode tags in certain order which does not match libgcov emitted .gcda
files.
This patch fixes the .gcda decoder and makes it work with GCC 8 and 9
(10 is compatible with 9). Note, line statistics are broken and not
fixed by this patch.
Add test/tools/llvm-cov/gcov-{4.7,8,9}.c to test compatibility.

Before, each instance of llvm-cov was creating one thread per hardware core, which wasn't needed probably because the number of inputs were small. This was probably causing a thread rlimit issue on large core count systems.
After this patch, the previous behavior is restored (to what was before rG8404aeb5):
If --num-threads is not specified, we create one thread per input, up to num.cores.
When specified, --num-threads indicates any number of threads, with no upper limit.

The goal of this patch is to maximize CPU utilization on multi-socket or high core count systems, so that parallel computations such as LLD/ThinLTO can use all hardware threads in the system. Before this patch, on Windows, a maximum of 64 hardware threads could be used at most, in some cases dispatched only on one CPU socket.
== Background ==
Windows doesn't have a flat cpu_set_t like Linux. Instead, it projects hardware CPUs (or NUMA nodes) to applications through a concept of "processor groups". A "processor" is the smallest unit of execution on a CPU, that is, an hyper-thread if SMT is active; a core otherwise. There's a limit of 32-bit processors on older 32-bit versions of Windows, which later was raised to 64-processors with 64-bit versions of Windows. This limit comes from the affinity mask, which historically is represented by the sizeof(void*). Consequently, the concept of "processor groups" was introduced for dealing with systems with more than 64 hyper-threads.
By default, the Windows OS assigns only one "processor group" to each starting application, in a round-robin manner. If the application wants to use more processors, it needs to programmatically enable it, by assigning threads to other "processor groups". This also means that affinity cannot cross "processor group" boundaries; one can only specify a "preferred" group on start-up, but the application is free to allocate more groups if it wants to.
This creates a peculiar situation, where newer CPUs like the AMD EPYC 7702P (64-cores, 128-hyperthreads) are projected by the OS as two (2) "processor groups". This means that by default, an application can only use half of the cores. This situation could only get worse in the years to come, as dies with more cores will appear on the market.
== The problem ==
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() API was introduced so that only *one hardware thread per core* was used. Once that API returns, that original intention is lost, only the number of threads is retained. Consider a situation, on Windows, where the system has 2 CPU sockets, 18 cores each, each core having 2 hyper-threads, for a total of 72 hyper-threads. Both heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() and hardware_concurrency() currently return 36, because on Windows they are simply wrappers over std:🧵:hardware_concurrency() -- which can only return processors from the current "processor group".
== The changes in this patch ==
To solve this situation, we capture (and retain) the initial intention until the point of usage, through a new ThreadPoolStrategy class. The number of threads to use is deferred as late as possible, until the moment where the std::threads are created (ThreadPool in the case of ThinLTO).
When using hardware_concurrency(), setting ThreadCount to 0 now means to use all the possible hardware CPU (SMT) threads. Providing a ThreadCount above to the maximum number of threads will have no effect, the maximum will be used instead.
The heavyweight_hardware_concurrency() is similar to hardware_concurrency(), except that only one thread per hardware *core* will be used.
When LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS is OFF, the threading APIs will always return 1, to ensure any caller loops will be exercised at least once.

This is how it should've been and brings it more in line with
std::string_view. There should be no functional change here.
This is mostly mechanical from a custom clang-tidy check, with a lot of
manual fixups. It uncovers a lot of minor inefficiencies.
This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
Summary:
This flag was added for the json format to exclude functions from the
output. This mirrors that behavior in lcov (where it was previously
accepted but ignored). This makes the output file smaller which can be
beneficial depending on how you consume it, especially if you don't use
this data anyways.

Changes: no changes. A fix for the clang code will be landed right on top.
Original commit message:
SectionRef::getName() returns std::error_code now.
Returning Expected<> instead has multiple benefits.
For example, it forces user to check the error returned.
Also Expected<> may keep a valuable string error message,
what is more useful than having a error code.
(Object\invalid.test was updated to show the new messages printed.)
This patch makes a change for all users to switch to Expected<> version.
Note: in a few places the error returned was ignored before my changes.
In such places I left them ignored. My intention was to convert the interface
used, and not to improve and/or the existent users in this patch.
(Though I think this is good idea for a follow-ups to revisit such places
and either remove consumeError calls or comment each of them to clarify why
it is OK to have them).

1. raw_ostream supports ANSI colors so that you can write messages to
the termina with colors. Previously, in order to change and reset
color, you had to call `changeColor` and `resetColor` functions,
respectively.
So, if you print out "error: " in red, for example, you had to do
something like this:
OS.changeColor(raw_ostream::RED);
OS << "error: ";
OS.resetColor();
With this patch, you can write the same code as follows:
OS << raw_ostream::RED << "error: " << raw_ostream::RESET;
2. Add a boolean flag to raw_ostream so that you can disable colored
output. If you disable colors, changeColor, operator<<(Color),
resetColor and other color-related functions have no effect.
Most LLVM tools automatically prints out messages using colors, and
you can disable it by passing a flag such as `--disable-colors`.
This new flag makes it easy to write code that works that way.

The patch adds support for --hash-filenames to llvm-cov. This option adds md5
hash of the source path to the name of the generated .gcov file. The option is
crucial for cases where you have multiple files with the same name but can't
use --preserve-paths as resulting filenames exceed the limit.
from gcov(1):
```
-x
--hash-filenames
By default, gcov uses the full pathname of the source files to to
create an output filename. This can lead to long filenames that
can overflow filesystem limits. This option creates names of the
form source-file##md5.gcov, where the source-file component is
the final filename part and the md5 component is calculated from
the full mangled name that would have been used otherwise.

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

Summary:
lcov tracefiles are used by various coverage reporting tools and build
systems (e.g., Bazel). It is a simple text-based format to parse and
more convenient to use than the JSON export format, which needs
additional processing to map regions/segments back to line numbers.
It's a little unfortunate that "text" format is now overloaded to refer
specifically to JSON for export, but I wanted to avoid making any
breaking changes to the UI of the llvm-cov tool at this time.

This simplifies some code which had StringRefs to begin with, and
makes other code more complicated which had const char* to begin
with.
In the end, I think this makes for a more idiomatic and platform
agnostic API. Not all platforms launch process with null terminated
c-string arrays for the environment pointer and argv, but the api
was designed that way because it allowed easy pass-through for
posix-based platforms. There's a little additional overhead now
since on posix based platforms we'll be takign StringRefs which
were constructed from null terminated strings and then copying
them to null terminate them again, but from a readability and
usability standpoint of the API user, I think this API signature
is strictly better.

This breaks the OpenFlags enumeration into two separate
enumerations: OpenFlags and CreationDisposition. The first
controls the behavior of the API depending on whether or not
the target file already exists, and is not a flags-based
enum. The second controls more flags-like values.
This yields a more easy to understand API, while also allowing
flags to be passed to the openForRead api, where most of the
values didn't make sense before. This also makes the apis more
testable as it becomes easy to enumerate all the configurations
which make sense, so I've added many new tests to exercise all
the different values.
