Further, with profile information // only the subset of basic blocks with profiles are placed in separate sections // and the rest are grouped in a cold section. The exception handling blocks are // treated specially to ensure they are all in one seciton. // // Basic Block Sections // ==================== // // With option, -fbasic-block-sections=list, every function may be split into // clusters of basic blocks. Every cluster will be emitted into a separate // section with its basic blocks sequenced in the given order. To get the // optimized performance, the clusters must form an optimal BB layout for the // function. We insert a symbol at the beginning of every cluster's section to // allow the linker to reorder the sections in any arbitrary sequence. A global // order of these sections would encapsulate the function layout. // For example, consider the following clusters for a function foo (consisting // of 6 basic blocks 0, 1, ..., 5). // // 0 2 // 1 3 5 // // * Basic blocks 0 and 2 are placed in one section with symbol `foo` // referencing the beginning of this section. // * Basic blocks 1, 3, 5 are placed in a separate section. A new symbol // `foo.__part.1` will reference the beginning of this section. // * Basic block 4 (note that it is not referenced in the list) is placed in // one section, and a new symbol `foo.cold` will point to it. // // There are a couple of challenges to be addressed: // // 1. The last basic block of every cluster should not have any implicit // fallthrough to its next basic block, as it can be reordered by the linker. // The compiler should make these fallthroughs explicit by adding // unconditional jumps.. // // 2. All inter-cluster branch targets would now need to be resolved by the // linker as they cannot be calculated during compile time. This is done // using static relocations. Further, the compiler tries to use short branch // instructions on some ISAs for small branch offsets. This is not possible // for inter-cluster branches as the offset is not determined at compile // time, and therefore, long branch instructions have to be used for those. // // 3. Debug Information (DebugInfo) and Call Frame Information (CFI) emission // needs special handling with basic block sections. DebugInfo needs to be // emitted with more relocations as basic block sections can break a // function into potentially several disjoint pieces, and CFI needs to be // emitted per cluster. This also bloats the object file and binary sizes. // // Basic Block Address Map // ================== // // With -fbasic-block-address-map, we emit the offsets of BB addresses of // every function into the .llvm_bb_addr_map section. Along with the function // symbols, this allows for mapping of virtual addresses in PMU profiles back to // the corresponding basic blocks. This logic is implemented in AsmPrinter. This // pass only assigns the BBSectionType of every function to ``labels``. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #include "llvm/ADT/SmallVector.h" #include "llvm/ADT/StringRef.h" #include "llvm/CodeGen/BasicBlockSectionUtils.h" #include "llvm/CodeGen/BasicBlockSectionsProfileReader.h" #include "llvm/CodeGen/MachineFunction.h" #include "llvm/CodeGen/MachineFunctionPass.h" #include "llvm/CodeGen/Passes.h" #include "llvm/CodeGen/TargetInstrInfo.h" #include "llvm/InitializePasses.h" #include "llvm/Target/TargetMachine.h" #include using namespace llvm; // Placing the cold clusters in a separate section mitigates against poor // profiles and allows optimizations such as hugepage mapping to be applied at a // section granularity.
