Summary: AutoFDO compilation has two places that do inlining - the sample profile loader that does inlining with context sensitive profile, and the regular inliner as CGSCC pass. Ideally we want most inlining to come from sample profile loader as that is driven by context sensitive profile and also retains context sensitivity after inlining. However the reality is most of the inlining actually happens during regular inliner. To track the number of inline instances from sample profile loader and help move more inlining to sample profile loader, I'm adding statistics and optimization remarks for sample profile loader's inlining.

Summary:
Sample profile loader of AutoFDO tries to replay previous inlining using context sensitive profile. The replay only repeats inlining if the call site block is hot. As a result it punts inlining of small functions, some of which can be beneficial for size, and will still be inlined by CSGCC inliner later. The oscillation between sample profile loader's inlining and regular CGSSC inlining cause unnecessary loss of context-sensitive profile. It doesn't have much impact for inline decision itself, but it negatively affects post-inline profile quality as CGSCC inliner have to scale counts which is not as accurate as the original context sensitive profile, and bad post-inline profile can misguide code layout.
This change added regular Inline Cost calculation for sample profile loader, so we can inline small functions upfront under switch -sample-profile-inline-size. In addition -sample-profile-cold-inline-threshold is added so we can tune the separate size threshold - currently the default is chosen to be the same as regular inliner's cold call-site threshold.

Summary:
AutoFDO's sample profile loader processes function in arbitrary source code order, so if I change the order of two functions in source code, the inline decision can change. This also prevented the use of context-sensitive profile to do specialization while inlining. This commit enforces SCC top-down order for sample profile loader. With this change, we can now do specialization, as illustrated by the added test case:
Say if we have A->B->C and D->B->C call path, we want to inline C into B when root inliner is B, but not when root inliner is A or D, this is not possible without enforcing top-down order. E.g. Once C is inlined into B, A and D can only choose to inline (B->C) as a whole or nothing, but what we want is only inline B into A and D, not its recursive callee C. If we process functions in top-down order, this is no longer a problem, which is what this commit is doing.
This change is guarded with a new switch "-sample-profile-top-down-load" for tuning, and it depends on D70653. Eventually, top-down can be the default order for sample profile loader.

Summary:
When sample profile loader decides not to inline a previously inlined call-site, we adjust the profile of outlined function simply by scaling up its profile counts by call-site count. This means the context-sensitive profile of that inlined instance will be thrown away. This commit try to keep context-sensitive profile for such cases:
- Instead of scaling outlined function's profile, we now properly merge the FunctionSamples of inlined instance into outlined function, including all recursively inlined profile.
- Instead of adjusting the profile for negative inline decision at the end of the sample profile loader pass, we do the profile merge right after processing each function. This change paired with top-down ordering of annotation/inline-replay (a separate diff) will make sure we recursively merge profile back before the profile is used for annotation and inline replay.
A new switch -sample-profile-merge-inlinee is added to enable the new profile merge for tuning. It should be the default behavior eventually.

Summary:
When adjusting function entry counts after inlining, Funciton::setEntryCount is called without providing an import function list. The side effect of that is the previously set import function list will be dropped. The import function list is used by ThinLTO to help import hot cross module callee for LTO inlining, so dropping that during ThinLTO pre-link may adversely affect LTO inlining. The fix is to keep the list while updating entry counts for inlining.

by ExtBinary format profile
Profile on-demand loading was added for ExtBinary format profile in rL374233,
but currently profile on-demand loading doesn't work well with profile
remapping. The patch adds the support.
Suppose a function in the current module has outline instance in the profile.
The function name in the module is different from the name of the outline
instance, but remapper knows the two names are equal. When loading profile
on-demand, the outline instance has to be loaded with remapper's help.
At the same time SampleProfileReaderItaniumRemapper is changed from a proxy
of SampleProfileReader to a helper member in SampleProfileReader.

in ExtBinary format
Currently for Text, Binary and ExtBinary format profiles, when we compile a
module with samplefdo, even if there is no function showing up in the profile,
we have to load all the function profiles from the profile input. That is a
waste of compile time.
CompactBinary format profile has already had the support of loading function
profiles on demand. In this patch, we add the support to load profile on
demand for ExtBinary format. It will work no matter the sections in ExtBinary
format profile are compressed or not. Experiment shows it reduces the time to
compile a server benchmark by 30%.
When profile remapping and loading function profiles on demand are both used,
extra work needs to be done so that the loading on demand process will take
the name remapping into consideration. It will be addressed in a follow-up
patch.

reduced its size to 24M, and compressing all the sections reduced its size

profile symbol list.
Currently many existing users using profile-sample-accurate want to reduce
code size as much as possible. Their use cases are different from the scenario
profile symbol list tries to handle -- the major motivation of adding profile
symbol list is to get the major memory/code size saving without introduce
performance regression. So to keep the behavior of profile-sample-accurate
unchanged, we think decoupling these two things and using a new flag to
control the handling of profile symbol list may be better.
When profile-sample-accurate and the new flag profile-accurate-for-symsinlist
are both present, since profile-sample-accurate is a user assertion we let it
have a higher precedence.

is enabled.
We can save memory and reduce binary size significantly by enabling
ProfileSampleAccurate. However when ProfileSampleAccurate is true,
function without sample will be regarded as cold and this could
potentially cause performance regression.
To minimize the potential negative performance impact, we want to be
a little conservative here saying if a function shows up in the profile,
no matter as outline instance, inline instance or call targets, treat
the function as not being cold. This will handle the cases such as most
callsites of a function are inlined in sampled binary (thus outline copy
don't get any sample) but not inlined in current build (because of source
code drift, imprecise debug information, or the callsites are all cold
individually but not cold accumulatively...), so that the outline function
showing up as cold in sampled binary will actually not be cold after current
build. After the change, such function will be treated as not cold even
profile-sample-accurate is enabled.
At the same time we lower the hot criteria of callsiteIsHot check when
profile-sample-accurate is enabled. callsiteIsHot is used to determined
whether a callsite is hot and qualified for early inlining. When
profile-sample-accurate is enabled, functions without profile will be
regarded as cold and much less inlining will happen in CGSCC inlining pass,
so we can worry less about size increase and be aggressive to allow more
early inlining to happen for warm callsites and it is helpful for performance
overall.

Profile sample files include the number of times each entry or inlined
call site is sampled. This is translated into the entry count metadta
on functions.
When sample data is being read, if a call site that was inlined
in the sample program is considered cold and not inlined, then
the entry count of the out-of-line functions does not reflect
the current compilation.
In this patch, we note call sites where the function was not inlined
and as a last action of the sample profile loading, we update the
called function's entry count to reflect the calls from these
call sites which are not included in the profile file.

This can be used to preserve profiling information across codebase
changes that have widespread impact on mangled names, but across which
most profiling data should still be usable. For example, when switching
from libstdc++ to libc++, or from the old libstdc++ ABI to the new ABI,
or even from a 32-bit to a 64-bit build.
The user can provide a remapping file specifying parts of mangled names
that should be treated as equivalent (eg, std::__1 should be treated as
equivalent to std::__cxx11), and profile data will be treated as
applying to a particular function if its name is equivalent to the name
of a function in the profile data under the provided equivalences. See
the documentation change for a description of how this is configured.
Remapping is supported for both sample-based profiling and instruction
profiling. We do not support remapping indirect branch target
information, but all other profile data should be remapped
appropriately.
Support is only added for the new pass manager. If someone wants to also
add support for this for the old pass manager, doing so should be
straightforward.

We found current sampleFDO had a performance issue when triaging a regression.
For a callsite with inline instance in the profile, even if hot callsite inliner
cannot inline it, it may still execute enough times and should not be treated as
cold in regular inliner later. However, currently if such callsite is not inlined
by hot callsite inliner, and the BB where the callsite locates doesn't get
samples from other instructions inside of it, the callsite will have no profile
metadata annotated. In regular inliner cost analysis, if the callsite has no
profile annotated and its caller has profile information, it will be treated as
cold.

!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.

The New Pass Manager infrastructure was forgetting to keep around the optimization remark yaml file that the compiler might have been producing. This meant setting the option to '-' for stdout worked, but setting it to a filename didn't give file output (presumably it was deleted because compilation didn't explicitly keep it). This change just ensures that the file is kept if compilation succeeds.
So far I have updated one of the optimization remark output tests to add a version with the new pass manager. It is my intention for this patch to also include changes to all tests that use `-opt-remark-output=` but I wanted to get the code patch ready for review while I was making all those changes.
