With the option -outline-optional-branches, LLVM will place optional
branches out of line (more details on r231230).
With this patch, this is not done for short optional branches. A short
optional branch is a branch containing a single block with an
instruction count below a certain threshold (defaulting to 3). Still
everything is guarded under -outline-optional-branches).
Outlining a short branch can't significantly improve code locality. It
can however decrease performance because of the additional jmp and in
cases where the optional branch is hot. This fixes a compile time
regression I have observed in a benchmark.

result reasonable.
This code predated clang-format and so there was a reasonable amount of
crufty formatting that had accumulated. This should ensure that neither
myself nor others end up with formatting-only changes sneaking into
other fixes.

just arbitrarily interleaving unrelated control flows once they get
moved "out-of-line" (both outside of natural CFG ordering and with
diamonds that cannot be fully laid out by chaining fallthrough edges).
This easy solution doesn't work in practice, and it isn't just a small
bug. It looks like a very different strategy will be required. I'm
working on that now, and it'll again go behind some flag so that
everyone can experiment and make sure it is working well for them.

a flag for now.
First off, thanks to Daniel Jasper for really pointing out the issue
here. It's been here forever (at least, I think it was there when
I first wrote this code) without getting really noticed or fixed.
The key problem is what happens when two reasonably common patterns
happen at the same time: we outline multiple cold regions of code, and
those regions in turn have diamonds or other CFGs for which we can't
just topologically lay them out. Consider some C code that looks like:
if (a1()) { if (b1()) c1(); else d1(); f1(); }
if (a2()) { if (b2()) c2(); else d2(); f2(); }
done();
Now consider the case where a1() and a2() are unlikely to be true. In
that case, we might lay out the first part of the function like:
a1, a2, done;
And then we will be out of successors in which to build the chain. We go
to find the best block to continue the chain with, which is perfectly
reasonable here, and find "b1" let's say. Laying out successors gets us
to:
a1, a2, done; b1, c1;
At this point, we will refuse to lay out the successor to c1 (f1)
because there are still un-placed predecessors of f1 and we want to try
to preserve the CFG structure. So we go get the next best block, d1.
... wait for it ...
Except that the next best block *isn't* d1. It is b2! d1 is waaay down
inside these conditionals. It is much less important than b2. Except
that this is exactly what we didn't want. If we keep going we get the
entire set of the rest of the CFG *interleaved*!!!
a1, a2, done; b1, c1; b2, c2; d1, f1; d2, f2;
So we clearly need a better strategy here. =] My current favorite
strategy is to actually try to place the block whose predecessor is
closest. This very simply ensures that we unwind these kinds of CFGs the
way that is natural and fitting, and should minimize the number of cache
lines instructions are spread across.
It also happens to be *dead simple*. It's like the datastructure was
specifically set up for this use case or something. We only push blocks
onto the work list when the last predecessor for them is placed into the
chain. So the back of the worklist *is* the nearest next block.
Unfortunately, a change like this is going to cause *soooo* many
benchmarks to swing wildly. So for now I'm adding this under a flag so
that we and others can validate that this is fixing the problems
described, that it seems possible to enable, and hopefully that it fixes
more of our problems long term.

In a CFG with the edges A->B->C and A->C, B is an optional branch.
LLVM's default behavior is to lay the blocks out naturally, i.e. A, B,
C, in order to improve code locality and fallthroughs. However, if a
function contains many of those optional branches only a few of which
are taken, this leads to a lot of unnecessary icache misses. Moving B
out of line can work around this.

Canonicalize access to function attributes to use the simpler API.
getAttributes().getAttribute(AttributeSet::FunctionIndex, Kind)
=> getFnAttribute(Kind)
getAttributes().hasAttribute(AttributeSet::FunctionIndex, Kind)
=> hasFnAttribute(Kind)
Also, add `Function::getFnStackAlignment()`, and canonicalize:
getAttributes().getStackAlignment(AttributeSet::FunctionIndex)
=> getFnStackAlignment()

Some benchmarks have shown that this could lead to a potential
performance benefit, and so adding some flags to try to help measure the
difference.
A possible explanation. In diamond-shaped CFGs (A followed by either
B or C both followed by D), putting B and C both in between A and
D leads to the code being less dense than it could be. Always either
B or C have to be skipped increasing the chance of cache misses etc.
Moving either B or C to after D might be beneficial on average.
In the long run, but we should probably do a better job of analyzing the
basic block and branch probabilities to move the correct one of B or
C to after D. But even if we don't use this in the long run, it is
a good baseline for benchmarking.

flag added by me.

The existing code provided for specifying a global loop alignment preference.
However, the preferred loop alignment might depend on the loop itself. For
recent POWER cores, loops between 5 and 8 instructions should have 32-byte
alignment (while the others are better with 16-byte alignment) so that the
entire loop will fit in one i-cache line.
To support this, getPrefLoopAlignment has been made virtual, and can be
provided with an optional MachineLoop* so the target can inspect the loop
before answering the query. The default behavior, as before, is to return the
value set with setPrefLoopAlignment. MachineBlockPlacement now queries the
target for each loop instead of only once per function. There should be no
functional change for other targets.

This is to be consistent with StringSet and ultimately with the standard
library's associative container insert function.
This lead to updating SmallSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update SmallPtrSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update all the existing users of those functions...

string_ostream is a safe and efficient string builder that combines opaque
stack storage with a built-in ostream interface.
small_string_ostream<bytes> additionally permits an explicit stack storage size
other than the default 128 bytes to be provided. Beyond that, storage is
transferred to the heap.
This convenient class can be used in most places an
std::string+raw_string_ostream pair or SmallString<>+raw_svector_ostream pair
would previously have been used, in order to guarantee consistent access
without byte truncation.
The patch also converts much of LLVM to use the new facility. These changes
include several probable bug fixes for truncated output, a programming error
that's no longer possible with the new interface.

The motivation is to mark dump methods as used in debug builds so that they can
be called from lldb, but to not do so in release builds so that they can be
dead-stripped.
There's lots of potential follow-up work suggested in the thread
"Should dump methods be LLVM_ATTRIBUTE_USED only in debug builds?" on cfe-dev,
but everyone seems to agreen on this subset.
Macro name chosen by fair coin toss.

We now only allow breaking source order if the exit block frequency is
significantly higher than the other exit block. The actual bias is
currently under a flag so the best cut-off can be found; the flag
defaults to the old behavior. The idea is to get some benchmark coverage
over different values for the flag and pick the best one.
When we require the new frequency to be at least 20% higher than the old
frequency I see a 5% speedup on zlib's deflate when compressing a random
file on x86_64/westmere. Hal reported a small speedup on Fhourstones on
a BG/Q and no regressions in the test suite.
The test case is the full long_match function from zlib's deflate. I was
reluctant to add it for previous tweaks to branch probabilities because
it's large and potentially fragile, but changed my mind since it's an
important use case and more likely to break with all the current work
going into the PGO infrastructure.

(4.58s vs 3.2s on an oldish Mac Tower).
The corresponding src is excerpted bellow. The lopp accounts for about 90% of execution time.

91 for (k=0; k<j; k++)
92 if (other_node == cur_node->to_nodes[k]) break;
The defective layout is sketched bellow, where the two branches need to swap.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
L:
...
if (cond) goto out-of-loop
goto L
While this code sequence is defective, I don't understand why it incurs 1/3 of
execution time. CPU-event-profiling indicates the poor laoyout dose not increase
in br-misprediction; it dosen't increase stall cycle at all, and it dosen't
prevent the CPU detect the loop (i.e. Loop-Stream-Detector seems to be working fine
as well)...
The root cause of the problem is that the layout pass calls AnalyzeBranch()
with basic-block which is not updated to reflect its current layout.

When debugging performance regressions we often ask ourselves if the regression
that we see is due to poor isel/sched/ra or due to some micro-architetural
problem. When comparing two code sequences one good way to rule out front-end
bottlenecks (and other the issues) is to force code alignment. This pass adds
a flag that forces the alignment of all of the basic blocks in the program.

This fixes some of the cycles between libCodeGen and libSelectionDAG. It's still
a complete mess but as long as the edges consist of virtual call it doesn't
cause breakage. BasicTTI did static calls and thus broke some build

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

Previously, MBP essentially aligned every branch target it could. This
bloats code quite a bit, especially non-looping code which has no real
reason to prefer aligned branch targets so heavily.
As Andy said in review, it's still a bit odd to do this without a real
cost model, but this at least has much more plausible heuristics.
