This broke Chromium's PGO build, it seems because hot-cold-splitting got turned
on unintentionally. See comment on the code review for repro etc.

This reverts commit 273c299d5d.
This patch adds -f[no-]split-cold-code CC1 options to clang. This allows
the splitting pass to be toggled on/off. The current method of passing
`-mllvm -hot-cold-split=true` to clang isn't ideal as it may not compose
correctly (say, with `-O0` or `-Oz`).
To implement the -fsplit-cold-code option, an attribute is applied to
functions to indicate that they may be considered for splitting. This
removes some complexity from the old/new PM pipeline builders, and
behaves as expected when LTO is enabled.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

CodeExtractor permits extracting a region of blocks from a function even
when values defined within the region are used outside of it.
This is typically done by creating an alloca in the original function
and reloading the alloca after a call to the extracted function.
Wrap the reload in lifetime start/end markers to promote stack coloring.

This gets rid of the brittle/mysterious calls to @sink()/@sideeffect()
peppered throughout the test cases. They are no longer needed to force
splitting to occur.

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.
