[MemProf] Reduce unnecessary context id computation (NFC) (#109857)

One of the memory reduction techniques was to compute node context ids
on the fly. This reduced memory at the expense of some compile time
increase.

For a large binary we were spending a lot of time invoking getContextIds
on the node during assignStackNodesPostOrder, because we were iterating
through the stack ids for a call from leaf to root (first to last node
in the parlance used in that code). However, all calls for a given entry
in the StackIdToMatchingCalls map share the same last node, so we can
borrow the approach used by similar code in updateStackNodes and compute
the context ids on the last node once, then iterate each call's stack
ids in reverse order while reusing the last node's context ids.

This reduced the thin link time by 43% for a large target. It isn't
clear why there wasn't a similar increase measured when introducing the
node context id recomputation, but the compile time was longer to start
with then.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
