[BOLT] Allow name matching stale profiles with infer-stale-profile (#165493) Exact name matching of a YAML profile to a BinaryFunction is conditional on `profileMatches`: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/5c7854c8ed1998650af6f01761df385712f5295a/bolt/lib/Profile/YAMLProfileReader.cpp#L419-L421 With stale profile, both function hash and block count can mismatch, so exact name matching fails. After it, we run other function matching plus fallback exact-name-matching of unused profiles: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/a7e4e2521e77f638e6740059109725c9a4d89453/bolt/lib/Profile/YAMLProfileReader.cpp#L833-L843 In effect, for stale profile, both with and without stale matching, we ignore the strong signal of exactly matching function name, run a batch of looser checks, and finally assign the profile in the fallback. Change to record exact-name-matching profiles if stale matching is used to 1) avoid running other checks, 2) use such pairs as roots for pseudo probe matching. Also make fallback matching an explicit step. Test Plan: updated reader-stale-yaml.test
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.
