llvm-mirror/test/CodeGen/X86/code_placement_cold_loop_blocks.ll
Cong Hou f154e6824e In MachineBlockPlacement, filter cold blocks off the loop chain when profile data is available.
In the current BB placement algorithm, a loop chain always contains all loop blocks. This has a drawback that cold blocks in the loop may be inserted on a hot function path, hence increasing branch cost and also reducing icache locality.

Consider a simple example shown below:

A
|
B⇆C
|
D

When B->C is quite cold, the best BB-layout should be A,B,D,C. But the current implementation produces A,C,B,D.

This patch filters those cold blocks off from the loop chain by comparing the ratio:

LoopBBFreq / LoopFreq

to 20%: if it is less than 20%, we don't include this BB to the loop chain. Here LoopFreq is the frequency of the loop when we reduce the loop into a single node. In general we have more cold blocks when the loop has few iterations. And vice versa.
