Use the llvm flag `-pgo-function-entry-coverage` to create single byte "counters" to track functions coverage. This mode has significantly less size overhead in both code and data because
* We mark a function as "covered" with a store instead of an increment which generally requires fewer assembly instructions
* We use a single byte per function rather than 8 bytes per block
The trade off of course is that this mode only tells you if a function has been covered. This is useful, for example, to detect dead code.
When combined with debug info correlation [0] we are able to create an instrumented Clang binary that is only 150M (the vanilla Clang binary is 143M). That is an overhead of 7M (4.9%) compared to the default instrumentation (without value profiling) which has an overhead of 31M (21.7%).

For some reason, the user-defined implicit conversion from StringRef to
std::string is not invoked by std::map::emplace in libstdc++ 5.4.0, even
though it works fine on modern systems.
CSSPGO currently employs a flat profile format for context-sensitive profiles. Such a flat profile allows for precisely manipulating contexts that is either inlined or not inlined. This is a benefit over the nested profile format used by non-CS AutoFDO. A downside of this is the longer build time due to parsing the indexing the full CS contexts.
For a CS flat profile, though only the context profiles relevant to a module are loaded when that module is compiled, the cost to figure out what profiles are relevant is noticeably high when there're many contexts, since the sample reader will need to scan all context strings anyway. On the contrary, a nested function profile has its related inline subcontexts isolated from other unrelated contexts. Therefore when compiling a set of functions, unrelated contexts will never need to be scanned.
In this change we are exploring using nested profile format for CSSPGO. This is expected to work based on an assumption that with a preinliner-computed profile all contexts are precomputed and expected to be inlined by the compiler. Contexts not expected to be inlined will be cut off and returned to corresponding base profiles (for top-level outlined functions). This naturally forms a nested profile where all nested contexts are expected to be inlined. The compiler will less likely optimize on derived contexts that are not precomputed.
A CS-nested profile will look exactly the same with regular nested profile except that each nested profile can come with an attributes. With pseudo probes, a nested profile shown as below can also have a CFG checksum.
```

- Extend function checksum and attribute metadata to be stored in nested way for text profile and extbinary profile.

- Changes in the sample loader to support probe-based nested profile.
I've seen promising results regarding build time. A nested profile can result in a 20% shorter build time than a CS flat profile while keep an on-par performance. This is with -duplicate-contexts-into-base=1.

With the context split work, the context-based (an array of strings) sorting performed at profile load time is way more expansive than single-string-based sorting. This is likely due to auxiliary operations done on each array element, such as indirect references, std::min operations, also likely cache misses. In this change I'm presorting profiles during profile generation time to avoid sorting at compile time.
Compared to the previous context-split work, this effectively cuts down compile time by 20% for one of our large services and brings us closer to non-CS build, with still a small gap in build time.

Currently context strings contain a lot of duplicated function names and that significantly increase the profile size. This change split the context into a series of {name, offset, discriminator} tuples so function names used in the context can be replaced by the index into the name table and that significantly reduce the size consumed by context.
A follow-up improvement made in the compiler and profiling tools is to avoid reconstructing full context strings which is time- and memory- consuming. Instead a context vector of `StringRef` is adopted to represent the full context in all scenarios. As a result, the previous prevalent profile map which was implemented as a `StringRef` is now engineered as an unordered map keyed by `SampleContext`. `SampleContext` is reshaped to using an `ArrayRef` to represent a full context for CS profile. For non-CS profile, it falls back to use `StringRef` to represent a contextless function name. Both the `ArrayRef` and `StringRef` objects are underpinned by real array and string objects that are stored in producer buffers. For compiler, they are maintained by the sample reader. For llvm-profgen, they are maintained in `ProfiledBinary` and `ProfileGenerator`. Full context strings can be generated only in those cases of debugging and printing.
When it comes to profile format, nothing has changed to the text format, though internally CS context is implemented as a vector. Extbinary format is only changed for CS profile, with an additional `SecCSNameTable` section which stores all full contexts logically in the form of `vector<int>`, which each element as an offset points to `SecNameTable`. All occurrences of contexts elsewhere are redirected to using the offset of `SecCSNameTable`.
Testing
This is no-diff change in terms of code quality and profile content (for text profile).
For our internal large service (aka ads), the profile generation is cut to half, with a 20x smaller string-based extbinary format generated.
The compile time of ads is dropped by 25%.

The change adds a switch to allow sample loader to use global pre-inliner's decision instead. The pre-inliner in llvm-profgen makes inline decision globally based on whole program profile and function byte size as cost proxy.
Since pre-inliner also adjusts/merges context profile based on its inline decision, honoring its inline decision in sample loader would lead to better post-inline profile quality especially for thinlto where cross module profile merging isn't possible without pre-inliner.
Minor fix in profile reader is also included. When pre-inliner is use, we now also turn off the default merging and trimming logic unless it's explicitly asked.

Previously dangling samples were represented by INT64_MAX in sample profile while probes never executed were not reported. This was based on an observation that dangling probes were only at a smaller portion than zero-count probes. However, with compiler optimizations, dangling probes end up becoming at large portion of all probes in general and reporting them does not make sense from profile size point of view. This change flips sample reporting by reporting zero-count probes instead. This enabled dangling probe to be represented by none (missing entry in profile). This has a couple benefits:
1. Reducing sample profile size in optimize mode, even when the number of non-executed probes outperform the number of dangling probes, since INT64_MAX takes more space over 0 to encode.
2. Binary size savings. No need to encode dangling probe anymore, since missing probes are treated as dangling in the profile reader.
3. Reducing compiler work to track dangling probes. However, for probes that are real dead and removed, we still need the compiler to identify them so that they can be reported as zero-count, instead of mistreated as dangling probes.
4. Improving counts quality by respecting the counts already collected on the non-dangling copy of a probe. A probe, when duplicated, gets two copies at runtime. If one of them is dangling while the other is not, merging the two probes at profile generation time will cause the real samples collected on the non-dangling one to be discarded. Not reporting the dangling counterpart will keep the real samples.
5. Better readability.
6. Be consistent with non-CS dwarf line number based profile. Zero counts are trusted by the compiler counts inferencer while missing counts will be inferred by the compiler.
Note that the current patch does include any work for #3. There will be follow-up changes.

This breaks an assumption in CoverageMapping.cpp where the number of
counters in a function is assumed to be bounded by the number of
regions:
Counts.assign(Record.MappingRegions.size(), 0);
This assumption causes CounterMappingContext::evaluate() to fail since
there are not enough counter values created in the above call to

This patch fixed the following issues along side with some refactoring:
1. Fix bugs where StringRef for context string out live the underlying std::string. We now keep string table in profile generator to hold std::strings. We also do the same for bracketed context strings in profile writer.
2. Make sure profile output strictly follow (total sample, name) order. Previously, there's inconsistency between ProfileMap's key and FunctionSamples's name, leading to inconsistent ordering. This is now fixed by introducing context profile canonicalization. Assertions are also added to make sure ProfileMap's key and FunctionSamples's name are always consistent.
3. Enhanced error handling for profile writing to make sure we bubble up errors properly for both llvm-profgen and llvm-profdata when string table is not populated correctly for extended binary profile.
4. Keep all internal context representation bracket free. This avoids creating new strings for context trimming, merging and preinline. getNameWithContext API is now simplied accordingly.
5. Factor out the code for context trimming and merging into SampleContextTrimmer in SampleProf.cpp. This enables llvm-profdata to use the trimmer when merging profiles. Changes in llvm-profgen will be in separate patch.

Problem:
On SystemZ we need to open text files in text mode. On Windows, files opened in text mode adds a CRLF '\r\n' which may not be desirable.
Solution:
This patch adds two new flags
- OF_CRLF which indicates that CRLF translation is used.
- OF_TextWithCRLF = OF_Text | OF_CRLF indicates that the file is text and uses CRLF translation.
Developers should now use either the OF_Text or OF_TextWithCRLF for text files and OF_None for binary files. If the developer doesn't want carriage returns on Windows, they should use OF_Text, if they do want carriage returns on Windows, they should use OF_TextWithCRLF.
So this is the behaviour per platform with my patch:
z/OS:
OF_None: open in binary mode
OF_Text : open in text mode
OF_TextWithCRLF: open in text mode
Windows:
OF_None: open file with no carriage return
OF_Text: open file with no carriage return
OF_TextWithCRLF: open file with carriage return
The Major change is in llvm/lib/Support/Windows/Path.inc to only set text mode if the OF_CRLF is set.
```
if (Flags & OF_CRLF)
CrtOpenFlags |= _O_TEXT;
```
These following files are the ones that still use OF_Text which I left unchanged. I modified all these except raw_ostream.cpp in recent patches so I know these were previously in Binary mode on Windows.

For ThinLTO's prelink compilation, we need to put external inline candidates into an import list attached to function's entry count metadata. This enables ThinLink to treat such cross module callee as hot in summary index, and later helps postlink to import them for profile guided cross module inlining.
For AutoFDO, the import list is retrieved by traversing the nested inlinee functions. For CSSPGO, since profile is flatterned, a few things need to happen for it to work:
- When loading input profile in extended binary format, we need to load all child context profile whose parent is in current module, so context trie for current module includes potential cross module inlinee.
- In order to make the above happen, we need to know whether input profile is CSSPGO profile before start reading function profile, hence a flag for profile summary section is added.
- When searching for cross module inline candidate, we need to walk through the context trie instead of nested inlinee profile (callsite sample of AutoFDO profile).
- Now that we have more accurate counts with CSSPGO, we swtiched to use entry count instead of total count to decided if an external callee is potentially beneficial to inline. This make it consistent with how we determine whether call tagert is potential inline candidate.

now -funique-internal-linkage-name flag is available, and we want to flip
it on by default since it is beneficial to have separate sample profiles
for different internal symbols with the same name. As a preparation, we
want to avoid regression caused by the flip.
When we flip -funique-internal-linkage-name on, the profile is collected
from binary built without -funique-internal-linkage-name so it has no uniq
suffix, but the IR in the optimized build contains the suffix. This kind of
mismatch may introduce transient regression.
To avoid such mismatch, we introduce a NameTable section flag indicating
whether there is any name in the profile containing uniq suffix. Compiler
will decide whether to keep uniq suffix during name canonicalization
depending on the NameTable section flag. The flag is only available for
extbinary format. For other formats, by default compiler will keep uniq
suffix so they will only experience transient regression when
-funique-internal-linkage-name is just flipped.
Another type of regression is caused by places where we miss to call
getCanonicalFnName. Those places are fixed.

sample loader pass.
In https://reviews.llvm.org/rG5fb65c02ca5e91e7e1a00e0efdb8edc899f3e4b9,
to prevent repeated indirect call promotion for the same indirect call
and the same target, we used zero-count value profile to indicate an
indirect call has been promoted for a certain target. We removed
PromotedInsns cache in the same patch. However, there was a problem in
that patch described below, and that problem led me to add PromotedInsns
back as a mitigation in
https://reviews.llvm.org/rG4ffad1fb489f691825d6c7d78e1626de142f26cf.
When we get value profile from metadata by calling getValueProfDataFromInst,
we need to specify the maximum possible number of values we expect to read.
We uses MaxNumPromotions in the last patch so the maximum number of value
information extracted from metadata is MaxNumPromotions. If we have many
values including zero-count values when we write the metadata, some of them
will be dropped when we read them because we only read MaxNumPromotions
values. It will allow repeated indirect call promotion again. We need to
make sure if there are values indicating promoted targets, those values need
to be saved in metadata with higher priority than other values.
The patch fixed that problem. We change to use -1 to represent the count
of a promoted target instead of 0 so it is easier to sort the values.
When we prepare to update the metadata in updateIDTMetaData, we will sort
the values in the descending count order and extract only MaxNumPromotions
values to write into metadata. Since -1 is the max uint64_t number, if we
have equal to or less than MaxNumPromotions of -1 count values, they will
all be kept in metadata. If we have more than MaxNumPromotions of -1 count
values, we will only save MaxNumPromotions such values maximally. In such
case, we have logic in place in doesHistoryAllowICP to guarantee no more
promotion in sample loader pass will happen for the indirect call, because
it has been promoted enough.
With this change, now we can remove PromotedInsns without problem.

Dangling probes are the probes associated to an empty block. This usually happens when all real instructions are optimized away from the block. There is a problem with dangling probes during the offline counts processing. The way the sample profiler works is that samples collected on the first physical instruction following a probe will be counted towards the probe. This logically equals to treating the instruction next to a probe as if it is from the same block of the probe. In the dangling probe case, the real instruction following a dangling probe actually starts a new block, and samples collected on the new block may cause issues when counted towards the empty block.
To mitigate this issue, we first try to move around a dangling probe inside its owning block. If there are still native instructions preceding the probe in the same block, we can then use them as a place holder to collect samples for the probe. A pass is added to walk each block backwards looking for probes not followed by any real instruction and moving them before the first real instruction. This is done right before the object emission.
If we are unlucky to find such in-block preceding instructions for a probe, the solution we are taking is to tag such probe as dangling so that the samples reported for them will not be trusted by the compiler. We leave it up to the counts inference algorithm to get such probes a reasonable count. The number `UINT64_MAX` is used to mark sample count as collected for a dangling probe.

Found a problem in indirect call promotion in sample loader pass. Currently
if an indirect call is promoted for a target, and if the parent function is
inlined into some other function, the indirect call can be promoted for the
same target again. That is redundent which can harm performance and can cause
excessive compile time in some extreme case.
The patch fixes the issue. If a target is promoted for an indirect call, the
patch will write ICP metadata with the target call count being set to 0.
In the later ICP in sample profile loader, if it sees a target has 0 count
for an indirect call, it knows the target has been promoted and won't do
indirect call promotion for the indirect call.
The fix brings 0.1~0.2% performance on our search benchmark.

Context-sensitive profile effectively split a function profile into many copies each representing the CFG profile of a particular calling context. That makes the count distribution looks more flat as we now have more function profiles each with lower counts, which in turn leads to lower hot thresholds. Now we tells threshold computation to merge context profile first before calculating percentile based cutoffs to compensate for seemingly flat context profile. This can be controlled by swtich `sample-profile-contextless-threshold`.

This change enables pseudo-probe-based sample counts to be consumed by the sample profile loader under the regular `-fprofile-sample-use` switch with minimal adjustments to the existing sample file formats. After the counts are imported, a probe helper, aka, a `PseudoProbeManager` object, is automatically launched to verify the CFG checksum of every function in the current compilation against the corresponding checksum from the profile. Mismatched checksums will cause a function profile to be slipped. A `SampleProfileProber` pass is scheduled before any of the `SampleProfileLoader` instances so that the CFG checksums as well as probe mappings are available during the profile loading time. The `PseudoProbeManager` object is set up right after the profile reading is done. In the future a CFG-based fuzzy matching could be done in `PseudoProbeManager`.
Samples will be applied only to pseudo probe instructions as well as probed callsites once the checksum verification goes through. Those instructions are processed in the same way that regular instructions would be processed in the line-number-based scenario. In other words, a function is processed in a regular way as if it was reduced to just containing pseudo probes (block probes and callsites).
**Adjustment to profile format **
A CFG checksum field is being added to the existing AutoFDO profile formats. So far only the text format and the extended binary format are supported. For the text format, a new line like
```
!CFGChecksum: 12345
```
is added to the end of the body sample lines. For the extended binary profile format, we introduce a metadata section to store the checksum map from function names to their CFG checksums.

gcov computes the line execution count as the sum of (a) counts from
predecessors on other lines and (b) the sum of loop execution counts of blocks

For (b), we use Donald B. Johnson's cycle enumeration algorithm and perform
cycle cancelling for each cycle. This number of candidate cycles were
exponential and D93036 made it polynomial by skipping zero count cycles. The
time complexity is high (O(V*E^2) (it could be O(E^2) but the linear `Blocks`
check made it higher) and the implementation is complex.
We could just identify loops and sum all back edges. However, this requires a
dominator tree construction which is more complex. The time complexity can be
decreased to almost linear, though.
This patch just performs cycle cancelling iteratively. Add two members
`traversable` and `incoming` to GCOVArc. There are 3 states:
* `!traversable`: blocks not on this line or explored blocks
* `traversable && incoming == nullptr`: unexplored blocks
* `traversable && incoming != nullptr`: blocks which are being explored (on the stack)
If an arc points to a block being explored, a cycle has been found.
Let E be the number of arcs. Every time a cycle is found, at least one arc is
saturated (`edgeCount` reduced to 0), so there are at most E cycles. Finding one
cycle takes O(E) time, so the overall time complexity is O(E^2). Note that we
always augment through a back edge and never need to augment its reverse edge so
reverse edges in traditional flow networks are not needed.

This stack of changes introduces `llvm-profgen` utility which generates a profile data file from given perf script data files for sample-based PGO. It’s part of(not only) the CSSPGO work. Specifically to support context-sensitive with/without pseudo probe profile, it implements a series of functionalities including perf trace parsing, instruction symbolization, LBR stack/call frame stack unwinding, pseudo probe decoding, etc. Also high throughput is achieved by multiple levels of sample aggregation and compatible format with one stop is generated at the end. Please refer to: https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/1p1rdYbL93s for the CSSPGO RFC.
This change supports context-sensitive profile data generation into llvm-profgen. With simultaneous sampling for LBR and call stack, we can identify leaf of LBR sample with calling context from stack sample . During the process of deriving fall through path from LBR entries, we unwind LBR by replaying all the calls and returns (including implicit calls/returns due to inlining) backwards on top of the sampled call stack. Then the state of call stack as we unwind through LBR always represents the calling context of current fall through path.
we have two types of virtual unwinding 1) LBR unwinding and 2) linear range unwinding.
Specifically, for each LBR entry which can be classified into call, return, regular branch, LBR unwinding will replay the operation by pushing, popping or switching leaf frame towards the call stack and since the initial call stack is most recently sampled, the replay should be in anti-execution order, i.e. for the regular case, pop the call stack when LBR is call, push frame on call stack when LBR is return. After each LBR processed, it also needs to align with the next LBR by going through instructions from previous LBR's target to current LBR's source, which we named linear unwinding. As instruction from linear range can come from different function by inlining, linear unwinding will do the range splitting and record counters through the range with same inline context.
With each fall through path from LBR unwinding, we aggregate each sample into counters by the calling context and eventually generate full context sensitive profile (without relying on inlining) to driver compiler's PGO/FDO.
A breakdown of noteworthy changes:
- Added `HybridSample` class as the abstraction perf sample including LBR stack and call stack
* Extended `PerfReader` to implement auto-detect whether input perf script output contains CS profile, then do the parsing. Multiple `HybridSample` are extracted
* Speed up by aggregating `HybridSample` into `AggregatedSamples`
* Added VirtualUnwinder that consumes aggregated `HybridSample` and implements unwinding of calls, returns, and linear path that contains implicit call/return from inlining. Ranges and branches counters are aggregated by the calling context. Here calling context is string type, each context is a pair of function name and callsite location info, the whole context is like `main:1 @ foo:2 @ bar`.
* Added PorfileGenerater that accumulates counters by ranges unfolding or branch target mapping, then generates context-sensitive function profile including function body, inferring callee's head sample, callsite target samples, eventually records into ProfileMap.
* Leveraged LLVM build-in(`SampleProfWriter`) writer to support different serialization format with no stop
- `getCanonicalFnName` for callee name and name from ELF section
- Added regression test for both unwinding and profile generation

This change adds the context-senstive sample PGO infracture described in CSSPGO RFC (https://groups.google.com/g/llvm-dev/c/1p1rdYbL93s). It introduced an abstraction between input profile and profile loader that queries input profile for functions. Specifically, there's now the notion of base profile and context profile, and they are managed by the new SampleContextTracker for adjusting and merging profiles based on inline decisions. It works with top-down profiled guided inliner in profile loader (https://reviews.llvm.org/D70655) for better inlining with specialization and better post-inline profile fidelity. In the future, we can also expose this infrastructure to CGSCC inliner in order for it to take advantage of context-sensitive profile. This change is the consumption part of context-sensitive profile (The generation part is in this stack: https://reviews.llvm.org/D89707). We've seen good results internally in conjunction with Pseudo-probe (https://reviews.llvm.org/D86193). Pacthes for integration with Pseudo-probe coming up soon.
Currently the new infrastructure kick in when input profile contains the new context-sensitive profile; otherwise it's no-op and does not affect existing AutoFDO.
**Interface**
There're two sets of interfaces for query and tracking respectively exposed from SampleContextTracker. For query, now instead of simply getting a profile from input for a function, we can explicitly query base profile or context profile for given call path of a function. For tracking, there're separate APIs for marking context profile as inlined, or promoting and merging not inlined context profile.
- Query base profile (`getBaseSamplesFor`)
Base profile is the merged synthetic profile for function's CFG profile from any outstanding (not inlined) context. We can query base profile by function.
- Query context profile (`getContextSamplesFor`)
Context profile is a function's CFG profile for a given calling context. We can query context profile by context string.
- Track inlined context profile (`markContextSamplesInlined`)
When a function is inlined for given calling context, we need to mark the context profile for that context as inlined. This is to make sure we don't include inlined context profile when synthesizing base profile for that inlined function.
- Track not-inlined context profile (`promoteMergeContextSamplesTree`)
When a function is not inlined for given calling context, we need to promote the context profile tree so the not inlined context becomes top-level context. This preserve the sub-context under that function so later inline decision for that not inlined function will still have context profile for its call tree. Note that profile will be merged if needed when promoting a context profile tree if any of the node already exists at its promoted destination.
**Implementation**
Implementation-wise, `SampleContext` is created as abstraction for context. Currently it's a string for call path, and we can later optimize it to something more efficient, e.g. context id. Each `SampleContext` also has a `ContextState` indicating whether it's raw context profile from input, whether it's inlined or merged, whether it's synthetic profile created by compiler. Each `FunctionSamples` now has a `SampleContext` that tells whether it's base profile or context profile, and for context profile what is the context and state.
On top of the above context representation, a custom trie tree is implemented to track and manager context profiles. Specifically, `SampleContextTracker` is implemented that encapsulates a trie tree with `ContextTireNode` as node. Each node of the trie tree represents a frame in calling context, thus the path from root to a node represents a valid calling context. We also track `FunctionSamples` for each node, so this trie tree can serve efficient query for context profile. Accordingly, context profile tree promotion now becomes moving a subtree to be under the root of entire tree, and merge nodes for subtree if this move encounters existing nodes.
**Integration**
`SampleContextTracker` is now also integrated with AutoFDO, `SampleProfileReader` and `SampleProfileLoader`. When we detected input profile contains context-sensitive profile, `SampleContextTracker` will be used to track profiles, and all profile query will go to `SampleContextTracker` instead of `SampleProfileReader` automatically. Tracking APIs are called automatically for each inline decision from `SampleProfileLoader`.

No longer rely on an external tool to build the llvm component layout.
Instead, leverage the existing `add_llvm_componentlibrary` cmake function and
introduce `add_llvm_component_group` to accurately describe component behavior.
These function store extra properties in the created targets. These properties
are processed once all components are defined to resolve library dependencies
and produce the header expected by llvm-config.

to their parent classes.
SampleProfileReaderExtBinary/SampleProfileWriterExtBinary specify the typical
section layout currently used by SampleFDO. Currently a lot of section
reader/writer stay in the two classes. However, as we expect to have more
types of SampleFDO profiles, we hope those new types of profiles can share
the common sections while configuring their own sections easily with minimal
change. That is why I move some common stuff from
SampleProfileReaderExtBinary/SampleProfileWriterExtBinary to
SampleProfileReaderExtBinaryBase/SampleProfileWriterExtBinaryBase so new
profiles class inheriting from the base class can reuse them.

(This version of the patch avoids using llvm::none_of -- the way I used
the utility caused compile errors on many bots, possibly because the
wrong overload of `none_of` was selected.)

The current organization of FileInfo and its referenced utility functions of
(GCOVFile, GCOVFunction, GCOVBlock) is messy. Some members of FileInfo are just
copied from GCOVFile. FileInfo::print (.gcov output and --intermediate output)
is interleaved with branch statistics and computation of line execution counts.
--intermediate has to do redundant .gcov output to gather branch statistics.
This patch deletes lots of code and introduces a clearer work flow:
```
fn collectFunction
for each block b
for each line lineNum
let line be LineInfo of the file on lineNum
line.exists = 1
increment function's lines & linesExec if necessary
increment line.count
line.blocks.push_back(&b)
fn collectSourceLine
compute cycle counts
count = incoming_counts + cycle_counts
if line.exists
++summary->lines
if line.count
++summary->linesExec
fn collectSource
for each line
call collectSourceLine
fn main
for each function
call collectFunction
print function summary
for each source file
call collectSource
print file summary
annotate the source file with line execution counts
if -i
print intermediate file
```
The output order of functions and files now follows the original order in
.gcno files.
For a CFG G=(V,E), Knuth describes that by Kirchoff's circuit law, the minimum
number of counters necessary is |E|-(|V|-1). The emitted edges form a spanning
tree. libgcov emitted .gcda files leverages this optimization while clang
--coverage's doesn't.
Propagate counts by Kirchhoff's circuit law so that llvm-cov gcov can
correctly print line counts of gcc --coverage emitted files and enable
the future improvement of clang --coverage.
and indirect call promotion candidate.
Profile remapping is a feature to match a function in the module with its
profile in sample profile if the function name and the name in profile look
different but are equivalent using given remapping rules. This is a useful
feature to keep the performance stable by specifying some remapping rules
when sampleFDO targets are going through some large scale function signature
change.
However, currently profile remapping support is only valid for outline
function profile in SampleFDO. It cannot match a callee with an inline
instance profile if they have different but equivalent names. We found
that without the support for inline instance profile, remapping is less
effective for some large scale change.
To add that support, before any remapping lookup happens, all the names
in the profile will be inserted into remapper and the Key to the name
mapping will be recorded in a map called NameMap in the remapper. During
name lookup, a Key will be returned for the given name and it will be used
to extract an equivalent name in the profile from NameMap. So with the help
of the NameMap, we can translate any given name to an equivalent name in
the profile if it exists. Whenever we try to match a name in the module to
a name in the profile, we will try the match with the original name first,
and if it doesn't match, we will use the equivalent name got from remapper
to try the match for another time. In this way, the patch can enhance the
profile remapping support for searching inline instance and searching
indirect call promotion candidate.
In a planned large scale change of int64 type (long long) to int64_t (long),
we found the performance of a google internal benchmark degraded by 2% if
nothing was done. If existing profile remapping was enabled, the performance
degradation dropped to 1.2%. If the profile remapping with the current patch
was enabled, the performance degradation further dropped to 0.14% (Note the
experiment was done before searching indirect call promotion candidate was
added. We hope with the remapping support of searching indirect call promotion
candidate, the degradation can drop to 0% in the end. It will be evaluated
post commit).

PGO profile is usually more precise than sample profile. However, PGO profile
needs to be collected from loadtest and loadtest may not be representative
enough to the production workload. Sample profile collected from production
can be used as a supplement -- for functions cold in loadtest but warm/hot
in production, we can scale up the related function in PGO profile if the
function is warm or hot in sample profile.
The implementation contains changes in compiler side and llvm-profdata side.
Given an instr profile and a sample profile, for a function cold in PGO
profile but warm/hot in sample profile, llvm-profdata will either mark
all the counters in the profile to be -1 or scale up the max count in the
function to be above hot threshold, depending on the zero counter ratio in
the profile. The assumption is if there are too many counters being zero
in the function profile, the profile is more likely to cause harm than good,
then llvm-profdata will mark all the counters to be -1 indicating the
function is hot but the profile is unaccountable. In compiler side, if a
function profile with all -1 counters is seen, the function entry count will
be set to be above hot threshold but its internal profile will be dropped.
In the long run, it may be useful to let compiler support using PGO profile
and sample profile at the same time, but that requires more careful design
and more substantial changes to make two profiles work seamlessly. The patch
here serves as a simple intermediate solution.

.gcno, .gcda and source files can be modified while we are reading them. If the
concurrent modification of a file being read nullifies the NUL terminator
assumption, llvm-cov can trip over an assertion failure in MemoryBuffer::init.
This is not so rare - the source files can be in an editor and .gcda can be
written by an running process (if the process forks, when .gcda gets written is
probably more unpredictable).
There is no accompanying test because an assertion failure requires data
races with some involved setting.

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
global-ctor.ll no longer checks what it intended to check
(@_GLOBAL__sub_I_global-ctor.ll needs a !dbg to work).

gcov 3.4 and gcov 4.2 use the same format, thus we can lower the version
requirement to 3.4

selected.
Fix the two bugs so that gcov can correctly decode "Runs:" from
libclang_rt.profile produced .gcda files, and llvm-cov gcov can
