77226a03dca98e6237c1068f2652fe41bea7b687 24-May-2013 Diego Novillo <dnovillo@google.com> Add a new function attribute 'cold' to functions.

Other than recognizing the attribute, the patch does little else.
It changes the branch probability analyzer so that edges into
blocks postdominated by a cold function are given low weight.

Added analysis and code generation tests. Added documentation for the
new attribute.

AKA: Recompile *ALL* the source code!

This one went much better. No manual edits here. I spot-checked for
silliness and grep-checked for really broken edits and everything seemed
good. It all still compiles. Yell if you see something that looks goofy.

1a710fdde197b00107ef55df51054925b9a5d2a2 24-Aug-2012 Manman Ren <mren@apple.com> BranchProb: modify the definition of an edge in BranchProbabilityInfo to handle
the case of multiple edges from one block to another.

A simple example is a switch statement with multiple values to the same
destination. The definition of an edge is modified from a pair of blocks to
a pair of PredBlock and an index into the successors.

Also set the weight correctly when building SelectionDAG from LLVM IR,
especially when converting a Switch.
IntegersSubsetMapping is updated to calculate the weight for each cluster.

0c34ae88bfe6ab40fc30784f131510992438ea43 15-Aug-2012 Bill Wendling <isanbard@gmail.com> Set the branch probability of branching to the 'normal' destination of an invoke
instruction to something absurdly high, while setting the probability of
branching to the 'unwind' destination to the bare minimum. This should set cause
the normal destination's invoke blocks to be moved closer to the invoke.

de1c9bb45017e25b5fc2b77e15d3c377f6572075 24-Oct-2011 Chandler Carruth <chandlerc@gmail.com> Remove return heuristics from the static branch probabilities, and
introduce no-return or unreachable heuristics.

The return heuristics from the Ball and Larus paper don't work well in
practice as they pessimize early return paths. The only good hitrate
return heuristics are those for:
- NULL return
- Constant return
- negative integer return

Only the last of these three can possibly require significant code for
the returning block, and even the last is fairly rare and usually also
a constant. As a consequence, even for the cold return paths, there is
little code on that return path, and so little code density to be gained
by sinking it. The places where sinking these blocks is valuable (inner
loops) will already be weighted appropriately as the edge is a loop-exit
branch.

All of this aside, early returns are nearly as common as all three of
these return categories, and should actually be predicted as taken!
Rather than muddy the waters of the static predictions, just remain
silent on returns and let the CFG itself dictate any layout or other
issues.

However, the return heuristic was flagging one very important case:
unreachable. Unfortunately it still gave a 1/4 chance of the
branch-to-unreachable occuring. It also didn't do a rigorous job of
finding those blocks which post-dominate an unreachable block.

This patch builds a more powerful analysis that should flag all branches
to blocks known to then reach unreachable. It also has better worst-case
runtime complexity by not looping through successors for each block. The
previous code would perform an N^2 walk in the event of a single entry
block branching to N successors with a switch where each successor falls
through to the next and they finally fall through to a return.

Test case added for noreturn heuristics. Also doxygen comments improved
along the way.

two more subtle routines to the bottom and expand on their cautionary
comments a bit. No functionality or actual interface change here.

b068bbbaecf338f481124551a5e6f37484fad800 24-Oct-2011 Chandler Carruth <chandlerc@gmail.com> Simplify the design of BranchProbabilityInfo by collapsing it into
a single class. Previously it was split between two classes, one
internal and one external. The concern seemed to center around exposing
the weights used, but those can remain confined to the implementation
file.

Having a single class to maintain the state and analyses in use will
also simplify several of the enhancements I want to make to our static
heuristics.

14edd314af99ccaad194d071f23e437a1371f176 23-Oct-2011 Chandler Carruth <chandlerc@gmail.com> Teach the BranchProbabilityInfo pass to print its results, and use that
to bring it under direct test instead of merely indirectly testing it in
the BlockFrequencyInfo pass.

The next step is to start adding tests for the various heuristics
employed, and to start fixing those heuristics once they're under test.

9e76422b963a65f243fdbee0abed61068b82dd98 04-Jun-2011 Andrew Trick <atrick@apple.com> New BranchProbabilityInfo analysis. Patch by Jakub Staszak!

BranchProbabilityInfo provides an interface for IR passes to query the
likelihood that control follows a CFG edge. This patch provides an
initial implementation of static branch predication that will populate
BranchProbabilityInfo for branches with no external profile
information using very simple heuristics. It currently isn't hooked up
to any external profile data, so static prediction does all the work.
