to reflect the new license.
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
repository.

When CodeExtractor outlines values which are used by the original
function, it must store those values in some in-out parameter. This
store instruction must not be inserted in between a PHI and an EH pad
instruction, as that results in invalid IR.
This fixes the following verifier failure seen while outlining within
ObjC methods with live exit values:
The unwind destination does not have an exception handling instruction!
%call35 = invoke i8* bitcast (i8* (i8*, i8*, ...)* @objc_msgSend to i8* (i8*, i8*)*)(i8* %exn.adjusted, i8* %1)
to label %invoke.cont34 unwind label %lpad33, !dbg !4183
The unwind destination does not have an exception handling instruction!
invoke void @objc_exception_throw(i8* %call35) #12
to label %invoke.cont36 unwind label %lpad33, !dbg !4184
LandingPadInst not the first non-PHI instruction in the block.
%3 = landingpad { i8*, i32 }
catch i8* null, !dbg !1411

If a PHI node out of extracted region has multiple incoming values from it,
split this PHI on two parts. First PHI has incomings only from region and
extracts with it (they are placed to the separate basic block that added to the
list of outlined), and incoming values in original PHI are replaced by first
PHI. Similar solution is already used in CodeExtractor for PHIs in entry block
(severSplitPHINodes method). It covers PR39433 bug.

The current splitting algorithm works in three stages:
1) Identify cold blocks, then
2) Use forward/backward propagation to mark hot blocks, then
3) Grow a SESE region of blocks *outside* of the set of hot blocks and
start outlining.
While testing this pass on Apple internal frameworks I noticed that some
kinds of control flow (e.g. loops) are never outlined, even though they
unconditionally lead to / follow cold blocks. I noticed two other issues
related to how cold regions are identified:
- An inconsistency can arise in the internal state of the hotness
propagation stage, as a block may end up in both the ColdBlocks set
and the HotBlocks set. Further inconsistencies can arise as these sets
do not match what's in ProfileSummaryInfo.
- It isn't necessary to limit outlining to single-exit regions.
This patch teaches the splitting algorithm to identify maximal cold
regions and outline them. A maximal cold region is defined as the set of
blocks post-dominated by a cold sink block, or dominated by that sink
block. This approach can successfully outline loops in the cold path. As
a side benefit, it maintains less internal state than the current
approach.
Due to a limitation in CodeExtractor, blocks within the maximal cold
region which aren't dominated by a single entry point (a so-called "max
ancestor") are filtered out.
Results:
- X86 (LNT + -Os + externals): 134KB of TEXT were outlined compared to
47KB pre-patch, or a ~3x improvement. Did not see a performance impact
across two runs.
- AArch64 (LNT + -Os + externals + Apple-internal benchmarks): 149KB
of TEXT were outlined. Ditto re: performance impact.
- Outlining results improve marginally in the internal frameworks I
tested.
Follow-ups:
- Outline more than once per function, outline large single basic
blocks, & try to remove unconditional branches in outlined functions.
