Restrict the tests to Windows only since the flag symbol hash depends on
system-dependent path normalization.
The introduction and some examples are on this page:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/announcing-jmc-stepping-in-visual-studio/
The `/JMC` flag enables these instrumentations:
- Insert at the beginning of every function immediately after the prologue with
a call to `void __fastcall __CheckForDebuggerJustMyCode(unsigned char *JMC_flag)`.
The argument for `__CheckForDebuggerJustMyCode` is the address of a boolean
global variable (the global variable is initialized to 1) with the name
convention `__<hash>_<filename>`. All such global variables are placed in
the `.msvcjmc` section.
- The `<hash>` part of `__<hash>_<filename>` has a one-to-one mapping
with a directory path. MSVC uses some unknown hashing function. Here I
used DJB.
- Add a dummy/empty COMDAT function `__JustMyCode_Default`.
- Add `/alternatename:__CheckForDebuggerJustMyCode=__JustMyCode_Default` link
option via ".drectve" section. This is to prevent failure in
case `__CheckForDebuggerJustMyCode` is not provided during linking.
Implementation:
All the instrumentations are implemented in an IR codegen pass. The pass is placed immediately before CodeGenPrepare pass. This is to not interfere with mid-end optimizations and make the instrumentation target-independent (I'm still working on an ELF port in a separate patch).

This feature was previously controlled by a TargetOptions flag, and I
figured that codegen::InitTargetOptionsFromCodeGenFlags would default it
to "on" for all frontends. Enabling by default was discussed here:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2021-November/153653.html
and originally supposed to happen in 3c045070882f3, but it didn't actually
take effect, as it turns out frontends initialize TargetOptions themselves.
This patch moves the flag from a TargetOptions flag to a global flag to
CodeGen, where it isn't immediately affected by the frontend being used.
Hopefully this will actually cause instr-ref to be on by default on x86_64
now!
This patch is easily reverted, and chances of turbulence are moderately
high. If you need to revert, please consider instead commenting out the
'return true' part of llvm::debuginfoShouldUseDebugInstrRef to turn the

Currenlty PseudoProbeInserter is a pass conditioned on a target switch. It works well with a single clang invocation. It doesn't work so well when the backend is called separately (i.e, through the linker or llc), where user has always to pass -pseudo-probe-for-profiling explictly. I'm making the pass a default pass that requires no command line arg to trigger, but will be actually run depending on whether the CU comes with `llvm.pseudo_probe_desc` metadata.

An indirect call site needs to be probed for its potential call targets. With CSSPGO a direct call also needs a probe so that a calling context can be represented by a stack of callsite probes. Unlike pseudo probes for basic blocks that are in form of standalone intrinsic call instructions, pseudo probes for callsites have to be attached to the call instruction, thus a separate instruction would not work.
One possible way of attaching a probe to a call instruction is to use a special metadata that carries information about the probe. The special metadata will have to make its way through the optimization pipeline down to object emission. This requires additional efforts to maintain the metadata in various places. Given that the `!dbg` metadata is a first-class metadata and has all essential support in place , leveraging the `!dbg` metadata as a channel to encode pseudo probe information is probably the easiest solution.
With the requirement of not inflating `!dbg` metadata that is allocated for almost every instruction, we found that the 32-bit DWARF discriminator field which mainly serves AutoFDO can be reused for pseudo probes. DWARF discriminators distinguish identical source locations between instructions and with pseudo probes such support is not required. In this change we are using the discriminator field to encode the ID and type of a callsite probe and the encoded value will be unpacked and consumed right before object emission. When a callsite is inlined, the callsite discriminator field will go with the inlined instructions. The `!dbg` metadata of an inlined instruction is in form of a scope stack. The top of the stack is the instruction's original `!dbg` metadata and the bottom of the stack is for the original callsite of the top-level inliner. Except for the top of the stack, all other elements of the stack actually refer to the nested inlined callsites whose discriminator field (which actually represents a calliste probe) can be used together to represent the inline context of an inlined PseudoProbeInst or CallInst.
To avoid collision with the baseline AutoFDO in various places that handles dwarf discriminators where a check against the `-pseudo-probe-for-profiling` switch is not available, a special encoding scheme is used to tell apart a pseudo probe discriminator from a regular discriminator. For the regular discriminator, if all lowest 3 bits are non-zero, it means the discriminator is basically empty and all higher 29 bits can be reversed for pseudo probe use.
Callsite pseudo probes are inserted in `SampleProfileProbePass` and a target-independent MIR pass `PseudoProbeInserter` is added to unpack the probe ID/type from `!dbg`.
Note that with this work the switch -debug-info-for-profiling will not work with -pseudo-probe-for-profiling anymore. They cannot be used at the same time.

We need to add the option -mignore-xcoff-visibility for compatibility with the IBM AIX OS (as the option is enabled by default in AIX). With this option llvm does not emit any visibility attribute to ASM or XCOFF object file.
The option only work on the AIX OS, for other non-AIX OS using the option will report an unsupported options error.
In AIX OS:
1.1 the option -mignore-xcoff-visibility is enabled by default , if there is not -fvisibility=* and -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command .
1.2 if there is -fvisibility=* explicitly but not -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command. it will generate visibility attributes.
1.3 if there are both -fvisibility=* and -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command. The option "-mignore-xcoff-visibility" wins , it do not emit the visibility attribute.
The option -mignore-xcoff-visibility has no effect on visibility attribute when compile with -emit-llvm option to generated LLVM IR.

We introduce a codegen optimization pass which splits functions into hot and cold
parts. This pass leverages the basic block sections feature recently
introduced in LLVM from the Propeller project. The pass targets
functions with profile coverage, identifies cold blocks and moves them
to a separate section. The linker groups all cold blocks across
functions together, decreasing fragmentation and improving icache and
itlb utilization.
We evaluated the Machine Function Splitter pass on clang bootstrap and
SPECInt 2017.
For clang bootstrap we observe a mean 2.33% runtime improvement with a
~32% reduction in itlb and stlb misses. Additionally, L1 icache misses
reduced by 9.5% while L2 instruction misses reduced by 20%.
For SPECInt we report the change in IntRate the C/C++

by 0.6% with the max for deepsjeng at 1.6%.
