[InstrPGO] Support cold function coverage instrumentation (#109837) This patch adds support for cold function coverage instrumentation based on sampling PGO counts. The major motivation is to detect dead functions for the services that are optimized with sampling PGO. If a function is covered by sampling profile count (e.g., those with an entry count > 0), we choose to skip instrumenting those functions, which significantly reduces the instrumentation overhead. More details about the implementation and flags: - Added a flag `--pgo-instrument-cold-function-only` in `PGOInstrumentation.cpp` as the main switch to control skipping the instrumentation. - Built the extra instrumentation passes(a bundle of passes in `addPGOInstrPasses`) under sampling PGO pipeline. This is controlled by `--instrument-cold-function-only-path` flag. - Added a driver flag `-fprofile-generate-cold-function-coverage`: - 1) Config the flags in one place, i,e. adding `--instrument-cold-function-only-path=<...>` and `--pgo-function-entry-coverage`. Note that the instrumentation file path is passed through `--instrument-sample-cold-function-path`, because we cannot use the `PGOOptions.ProfileFile` as it's already used by `-fprofile-sample-use=<...>`. - 2) makes linker to link `compiler_rt.profile` lib(see [ToolChain.cpp#L1125-L1131](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/lib/Driver/ToolChain.cpp#L1125-L1131) ). - Added a flag(`--pgo-cold-instrument-entry-threshold`) to config entry count to determine cold function. Overall, the full command is like: ``` clang++ -O2 -fprofile-generate-cold-function-coverage=<...> -fprofile-sample-use=<...> code.cc -o code ```
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.
