As a result, a certain percentage of functions is // considered stale and not optimized. This file implements an ability to match // profile to functions that are not 100% binary identical, and thus, increasing // the optimization coverage and boost the performance of applications. // // The algorithm consists of two phases: matching and inference: // - At the matching phase, we try to "guess" as many block and jump counts from // the stale profile as possible. To this end, the content of each basic block // is hashed and stored in the (yaml) profile. When BOLT optimizes a binary, // it computes block hashes and identifies the corresponding entries in the // stale profile. It yields a partial profile for every CFG in the binary. // - At the inference phase, we employ a network flow-based algorithm (profi) to // reconstruct "realistic" block and jump counts from the partial profile // generated at the first stage. In practice, we don't always produce proper // profile data but the majority (e.g., >90%) of CFGs get the correct counts. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #include "bolt/Core/HashUtilities.h" #include "bolt/Profile/YAMLProfileReader.h" #include "llvm/ADT/Hashing.h" #include "llvm/Support/CommandLine.h" #include "llvm/Transforms/Utils/SampleProfileInference.h" #include using namespace llvm; namespace opts { extern cl::OptionCategory BoltOptCategory; cl::opt InferStaleProfile("infer-stale-profile", cl::desc("Infer counts from stale profile data."), cl::init(false), cl::Hidden, cl::cat(BoltOptCategory)); cl::opt StaleMatchingMaxFuncSize( "stale-matching-max-func-size", cl::desc("The maximum size of a function to consider for inference."), cl::init(10000), cl::Hidden, cl::cat(BoltOptCategory)); // Parameters of the profile inference algorithm.
