[profcheck] Require `unknown` metadata have an origin parameter (#157594)
Rather than passes using `!prof = !{!”unknown”}`for cases where don’t have enough information to emit profile values, this patch captures the pass (or some other information) that can help diagnostics - i.e. `!{!”unknown”, !”some-pass-name”}`.
For example, suppose we emitted a `select` with the unknown metadata, and, later, end up needing to lower that to a conditional branch. If we observe (via sample profiling, for example) that the branch is biased and would have benefitted from a valid profile, the extra information can help speed up debugging.
We can also (in a subsequent pass) generate optimization remarks about such lowered selects, with a similar aim - identify patterns lowering to `select` that may be worth some extra investment in extracting a more precise profile.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.
