10 // This file implements the SampleProfileLoader transformation. This pass
11 // reads a profile file generated by a sampling profiler (e.g. Linux Perf -
12 // http://perf.wiki.kernel.org/) and generates IR metadata to reflect the
13 // profile information in the given profile.
14 //
15 // This pass generates branch weight annotations on the IR:
16 //
17 // - prof: Represents branch weights. This annotation is added to branches
18 //      to indicate the weights of each edge coming out of the branch.
19 //      The weight of each edge is the weight of the target block for
20 //      that edge. The weight of a block B is computed as the maximum
21 //      number of samples found in B.

659 /// Branch weights are computed out of instruction samples using a
660 /// propagation heuristic. Propagation proceeds in 3 phases:
661 ///
662 /// 1- Assignment of block weights. All the basic blocks in the function
663 ///    are initial assigned the same weight as their most frequently
664 ///    executed instruction.
665 ///
666 /// 2- Creation of equivalence classes. Since samples may be missing from
667 ///    blocks, we can fill in the gaps by setting the weights of all the
668 ///    blocks in the same equivalence class to the same weight. To compute
669 ///    the concept of equivalence, we use dominance and loop information.
670 ///    Two blocks B1 and B2 are in the same equivalence class if B1
671 ///    dominates B2, B2 post-dominates B1 and both are in the same loop.
672 ///
673 /// 3- Propagation of block weights into edges. This uses a simple
674 ///    propagation heuristic. The following rules are applied to every
675 ///    block BB in the CFG:
676 ///
677 ///    - If BB has a single predecessor/successor, then the weight
678 ///      of that edge is the weight of the block.
679 ///
680 ///    - If all the edges are known except one, and the weight of the
681 ///      block is already known, the weight of the unknown edge will
682 ///      be the weight of the block minus the sum of all the known
683 ///      edges. If the sum of all the known edges is larger than BB's weight,
684 ///      we set the unknown edge weight to zero.
685 ///
686 ///    - If there is a self-referential edge, and the weight of the block is
687 ///      known, the weight for that edge is set to the weight of the block
688 ///      minus the weight of the other incoming edges to that block (if
689 ///      known).
690 ///
691 /// Since this propagation is not guaranteed to finalize for every CFG, we
692 /// only allow it to proceed for a limited number of iterations (controlled
693 /// by -sample-profile-max-propagate-iterations).
694 ///
695 /// FIXME: Try to replace this propagation heuristic with a scheme
696 /// that is guaranteed to finalize. A work-list approach similar to
697 /// the standard value propagation algorithm used by SSA-CCP might
698 /// work here.
699 ///
700 /// Once all the branch weights are computed, we emit the MD_prof
701 /// metadata on BB using the computed values for each of its branches.
