[Codegen, X86] Add prefetch insertion based on Propeller profile (#166324) This PR implements the prefetch insertion in the InsertCodePrefetch pass based on the [RFC](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-code-prefetch-insertion/88668). If the prefetch target is not defined in the same module (i.e, prefetch target function is not defined in the same module), we emit a fallback weak symbol after the prefetch instruction so that if the symbol is not ever defined, we don't get undefined symbol error and the prefetch instruction prefetches the next address: ``` prefetchit1 __llvm_prefetch_target_foo(%rip) .weak __llvm_prefetch_target_foo __llvm_prefetch_target_foo: ``` The weak symbol semantic is tied to ELF, so this makes this PR target-dependent.
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.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
