Summary: This change adds support for specifying a weight when merging profile data with the llvm-profdata tool. Weights are specified by using the --weighted-input=<weight>,<filename> option. Input files not specified with this option (normal positional list after options) are given a default weight of 1. Adding support for arbitrary weighting of input profile data allows for relative importance to be placed on the input data from multiple training runs. Both sampled and instrumented profiles are supported.

|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
:program:`llvm-profdata merge` [*options*] [*filename...*]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
:program:`llvm-profdata merge` takes several profile data files
|
|
generated by PGO instrumentation and merges them together into a single
|
|
indexed profile data file.
|
|
|
|
By default profile data is merged without modification. This means that the
|
|
relative importance of each input file is proportional to the number of samples
|
|
or counts it contains. In general, the input from a longer training run will be
|
|
interpreted as relatively more important than a shorter run. Depending on the
|
|
nature of the training runs it may be useful to adjust the weight given to each
|
|
input file by using the ``-weighted-input`` option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -help
|
|
|
|
Print a summary of command line options.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -output=output, -o=output
|
|
|
|
Specify the output file name. *Output* cannot be ``-`` as the resulting
|
|
indexed profile data can't be written to standard output.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -weighted-input=weight,filename
|
|
|
|
Specify an input file name along with a weight. The profile counts of the input
|
|
file will be scaled (multiplied) by the supplied ``weight``, where where ``weight``
|
|
is a decimal integer >= 1. Input files specified without using this option are
|
|
assigned a default weight of 1. Examples are shown below.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -instr (default)
|
|
|
|
Specify that the input profile is an instrumentation-based profile.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -sample
|
|
|
|
Specify that the input profile is a sample-based profile.
|
|
|
|
The format of the generated file can be generated in one of three ways:
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -binary (default)
|
|
|
|
Emit the profile using a binary encoding. For instrumentation-based profile
|
|
the output format is the indexed binary format.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -text
|
|
|
|
Emit the profile in text mode. This option can also be used with both
|
|
sample-based and instrumentation-based profile. When this option is used
|
|
the profile will be dumped in the text format that is parsable by the profile
|
|
reader.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -gcc
|
|
|
|
Emit the profile using GCC's gcov format (Not yet supported).
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
Basic Usage
|
|
+++++++++++
|
|
Merge three profiles:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
llvm-profdata merge foo.profdata bar.profdata baz.profdata -output merged.profdata
|
|
|
|
Weighted Input
|
|
++++++++++++++
|
|
The input file `foo.profdata` is especially important, multiply its counts by 10:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
llvm-profdata merge -weighted-input=10,foo.profdata bar.profdata baz.profdata -output merged.profdata
|
|
|
|
Exactly equivalent to the previous invocation (explicit form; useful for programmatic invocation):
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
llvm-profdata merge -weighted-input=10,foo.profdata -weighted-input=1,bar.profdata -weighted-input=1,baz.profdata -output merged.profdata
|
|
|
|
.. program:: llvm-profdata show
|
|
|
|
.. _profdata-show:
|
|
|
|
SHOW
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
:program:`llvm-profdata show` [*options*] [*filename*]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
:program:`llvm-profdata show` takes a profile data file and displays the
|
|
information about the profile counters for this file and
|
|
for any of the specified function(s).
|
|
|
|
If *filename* is omitted or is ``-``, then **llvm-profdata show** reads its
|
|
input from standard input.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -all-functions
|
|
|
|
Print details for every function.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -counts
|
|
|
|
Print the counter values for the displayed functions.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -function=string
|
|
|
|
Print details for a function if the function's name contains the given string.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -help
|
|
|
|
Print a summary of command line options.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -output=output, -o=output
|
|
|
|
Specify the output file name. If *output* is ``-`` or it isn't specified,
|
|
then the output is sent to standard output.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -instr (default)
|
|
|
|
Specify that the input profile is an instrumentation-based profile.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -text
|
|
|
|
Instruct the profile dumper to show profile counts in the text format of the
|
|
instrumentation-based profile data representation. By default, the profile
|
|
information is dumped in a more human readable form (also in text) with
|
|
annotations.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -sample
|
|
|
|
Specify that the input profile is a sample-based profile.
|
|
|
|
EXIT STATUS
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
:program:`llvm-profdata` returns 1 if the command is omitted or is invalid,
|
|
if it cannot read input files, or if there is a mismatch between their data.
