After running a batch of measurements, it is clear that the inliner metrics
need some adjustments:
Own argument bonus: 20 -> 5
Outgoing argument penalty: 0 -> 5
Alloca bonus: 10 -> 5
Constant instr bonus: 7 -> 5
Dead successor bonus: 40 -> 5*(avg instrs/block)
The new cost metrics are generaly 25 points higher than before, so we may need
to move thresholds.
With this change, InlineConstants::CallPenalty becomes a political correction:
if (!isa<IntrinsicInst>(II) && !callIsSmall(CS.getCalledFunction()))
NumInsts += InlineConstants::CallPenalty + CS.arg_size();
The code size is accurately modelled by CS.arg_size(). CallPenalty is added
because calls tend to take a long time, so it may not be worth it to inline a
function with lots of calls.
All of the political corrections are in the InlineConstants namespace:
IndirectCallBonus, CallPenalty, LastCallToStaticBonus, ColdccPenalty,
NoreturnPenalty.
