For efficiency reason, when importing multiple functions for the same Module,
we can avoid reparsing it every time.

When linking static archive, there is no individual module files to
load. Instead they can be mmap'ed and could be initialized from a
buffer directly. The callback provide flexibility to override the
scheme for loading module from the summary.

This fixes buildbots in systems that std::to_string is not present. It
also tidies the output of the diagnostic to render doubles a bit better
(thanks Ben Kramer for help with string streams and format).

This adds two thresholds to the sample profiler to affect inlining
decisions: the concept of global hotness and coldness.
Functions that have accumulated more than a certain fraction of samples at
runtime, are annotated with the InlineHint attribute. Conversely,
functions that accumulate less than a certain fraction of samples, are
annotated with the Cold attribute.
This is very similar to the hints emitted by Clang when using
instrumentation profiles.
Notice that this is a very blunt instrument. A function may have
globally collected a significant fraction of samples, but that does not
necessarily mean that every callsite for that function is hot.
Ideally, we would annotate each callsite with the samples collected at
that callsite. This way, the inliner can incorporate all these weights
into its cost model.
Once the inliner offers this functionality, we can change the hints
emitted here to a more precise per-callsite annotation. For now, this is
providing some measure of speedups with our internal benchmarks. I've
observed speedups of up to 23% (though the geo mean is about 3%). I expect
these numbers to improve as the inliner gets better annotations.
llvm-svn: 254212
Based on testing of internal benchmarks, I'm lowering this threshold to
a value of 0.1%. This means that SamplePGO will respect 99.9% of the
original inline decisions when following a profile.
The performance difference is noticeable in some tests. With the
previous threshold, the speedups over baseline -O2 was about 0.63%. With
the new default, the speedups are around 3% on average.
The point of this threshold is not to do more aggressive inlining. When
an inlined callsite crosses this threshold, SamplePGO will redo the
inline decision so that it can better apply the input profile.
By respecting most original inline decisions, we can apply more of the
input profile because the shape of the code follows the profile more
closely.
In the next series, I'll be looking at adding some inline hints for the
cold callsites and for toplevel functions that are hot/cold as well.

They are as much trouble as aliases to declarations. They are requiring
the code generator to define a symbol with the same value as another
symbol, but the second symbol is undefined.
If representing this is important for some optimization, we could add
support for available_externally aliases. They would be *required* to
point to a declaration (or available_externally definition).
llvm-svn: 254170
Add a simple initial heuristic to control importing based on the number
of instructions recorded in the function's summary. Add option to
control the limit, and test using option.

When the original binary is executed and sampled, the resulting profile
contains information on the original inline stack. We currently follow
the original inline plan if we notice that the inlined callsite has more
than 0 samples to it.
A better way is to determine whether the callsite is actually worth
inlining. If the callsite accumulates a small fraction of the samples
spent in the parent function, then we don't want to bother inlining it
(as it means that the callsite is actually cold).
This patch introduces a threshold expressed in percentage of samples
in relation to the parent function. If the callsite uses less than N%
of the total samples used by its parent, the original inline decision is
not re-applied.
I've set the threshold to the very arbitrary value of 5%. I'm yet to do
any actual experiments to see what's a good value. I wanted to separate
the basic mechanism from the tuning.
llvm-svn: 254034
This patch implements a minimum spanning tree (MST) based instrumentation for
PGO. The use of MST guarantees minimum number of CFG edges getting
instrumented. An addition optimization is to instrument the less executed
edges to further reduce the instrumentation overhead. The patch contains both the
instrumentation and the use of the profile to set the branch weights.

Analyze imported function bodies and add any new external calls to
the worklist for importing. Currently no controls on the importing
so this will end up importing everything possible in the call tree
below the importing module. Basic profitability checks coming next.

Skip imports for weak_any aliases as well. Fix the test to check
non-import of weak aliases and functions, and import of normal alias.

The existing coverage tracker counts the number of records that were used
from the input profile. An alternative view of coverage is to check how
many available samples were applied.
This way, if the profile contains several records with few samples, it
doesn't really matter much that they were not applied. The more
interesting records to apply are the ones that contribute many samples.
llvm-svn: 253912
If a function was originally inlined but not actually hot at runtime,
its samples will not be counted inside the parent function. This throws
off the coverage calculation because it expects to find more used
records than it should.
Fixed by ignoring functions that will not be inlined into the parent.
Currently, this is inlined functions with 0 samples. In subsequent
patches, I'll change this to mean "cold" functions.

This reverts r253661.
Turns out that the assignment is not redundant (despite the Clang static analyzer claiming the opposite).
The variable is being used by the lambda function AddUsersToWorklistIfCapturing().

While debugging some sampling coverage problems, I found this useful:
When applying samples from a profile, it helps to also know what line
offset and discriminator the sample belongs to. This makes it easy to
correlate against the input profile.

We currently bail out of global localization if the global has non-instruction users. However, often these can be simple bitcasts or constant-GEPs, which we can easily turn into instructions before localizing. Be a bit more aggressive.

This provides a way to force a function to have certain attributes from the command line. This can be useful when debugging or doing workload exploration, where manually editing IR is tedious or not possible (due to build systems etc).
The syntax is -force-attribute=function_name:attribute_name
All function attributes are parsed except alignstack as it requires an argument.
llvm-svn: 253550
While setting function attributes we check all instructions that may access memory. For a call instruction we check all arguments. The special check is required for pointers.
I added vector-of-pointers to the call arguments types that should be checked.

Address Duncan Exon Smith's comments on D14148, which was added after the patch had been LGTM'd and committed:

* Add a threshold to limit the store/load dominance checks as they are quadratic.

Global to local demotion can speed up programs that use globals a lot. It is particularly useful with LTO, when the entire call graph is known and most functions have been internalized.
For a global to be demoted, it must only be accessed by one function and that function:
1. Must never recurse directly or indirectly, else the GV would be clobbered.
2. Must never rely on the value in GV at the start of the function (apart from the initializer).
GlobalOpt can already do this, but it is hamstrung and only ever tries to demote globals inside "main", because C++ gives extra guarantees about how main is called - once and only once.
In LTO mode, we can often prove the first property (if the function is internal by this point, we know enough about the callgraph to determine if it could possibly recurse). FunctionAttrs now infers the "norecurse" attribute for this reason.
The second property can be proven for a subset of functions by proving that all loads from GV are dominated by a store to GV. This is conservative in the name of compile time - this only requires a DominatorTree which is fairly cheap in the grand scheme of things. We could do more fancy stuff with MemoryDependenceAnalysis too to catch more cases but this appears to catch most of the useful ones in my testing.

A function can be marked as norecurse if:
* The SCC to which it belongs has cardinality 1; and either
a) It does not call any non-norecurse function. This includes self-recursion; or
b) It only has one callsite and the function that callsite is within is marked norecurse.
a) is best propagated bottom-up and b) is best propagated top-down.
We build up the norecurse attributes bottom-up using the existing SCC pass, and mark functions with no obvious recursion (but not provably norecurse) to sweep later, top-down.

When working with tokens, it is often the case that one has instructions
which consume a token and produce a new token. Currently, we have no
mechanism to represent an initial token state.
Instead, we can create a notional "empty token" by inventing a new
constant which captures the semantics we would like. This new constant
is called ConstantTokenNone and is written textually as "token none".

When GlobalOpt splits an internal, global variable with an aggregate type, it
should propagate the externally_initialized flag to the newly created globals.
This makes the pass safe for our downstream use of this flag, while still
allowing some useful optimisations (such as removing dead parts of the split
aggregate) to be performed.

Summary:
This change fixes an iterator wraparound bug in
`determinePointerReadAttrs`.
Ideally, ++'ing off the `end()` of an iplist should result in a failed
assert, but currently iplist seems to silently wrap to the head of the
list on `end()++`. This is why the bad behavior is difficult to
demonstrate.
