9 // BasicBlockSections implementation.
10 //
11 // The purpose of this pass is to assign sections to basic blocks when
12 // -fbasic-block-sections= option is used. Further, with profile information
13 // only the subset of basic blocks with profiles are placed in separate sections
14 // and the rest are grouped in a cold section. The exception handling blocks are
15 // treated specially to ensure they are all in one seciton.
16 //
17 // Basic Block Sections
18 // ====================
19 //
20 // With option, -fbasic-block-sections=list, every function may be split into
21 // clusters of basic blocks. Every cluster will be emitted into a separate
22 // section with its basic blocks sequenced in the given order. To get the
23 // optimized performance, the clusters must form an optimal BB layout for the
24 // function. We insert a symbol at the beginning of every cluster's section to
25 // allow the linker to reorder the sections in any arbitrary sequence. A global
26 // order of these sections would encapsulate the function layout.
27 // For example, consider the following clusters for a function foo (consisting
28 // of 6 basic blocks 0, 1, ..., 5).
29 //
30 // 0 2
31 // 1 3 5
32 //
33 // * Basic blocks 0 and 2 are placed in one section with symbol `foo`
34 // referencing the beginning of this section.
35 // * Basic blocks 1, 3, 5 are placed in a separate section. A new symbol
36 // `foo.__part.1` will reference the beginning of this section.
37 // * Basic block 4 (note that it is not referenced in the list) is placed in
38 // one section, and a new symbol `foo.cold` will point to it.
39 //
40 // There are a couple of challenges to be addressed:
41 //
42 // 1. The last basic block of every cluster should not have any implicit
43 // fallthrough to its next basic block, as it can be reordered by the linker.
44 // The compiler should make these fallthroughs explicit by adding
45 // unconditional jumps..
46 //
47 // 2. All inter-cluster branch targets would now need to be resolved by the
48 // linker as they cannot be calculated during compile time. This is done
49 // using static relocations. Further, the compiler tries to use short branch
50 // instructions on some ISAs for small branch offsets. This is not possible
51 // for inter-cluster branches as the offset is not determined at compile
52 // time, and therefore, long branch instructions have to be used for those.
53 //
54 // 3. Debug Information (DebugInfo) and Call Frame Information (CFI) emission
55 // needs special handling with basic block sections. DebugInfo needs to be
56 // emitted with more relocations as basic block sections can break a
57 // function into potentially several disjoint pieces, and CFI needs to be
58 // emitted per cluster. This also bloats the object file and binary sizes.
59 //
60 // Basic Block Address Map
61 // ==================
62 //
63 // With -fbasic-block-address-map, we emit the offsets of BB addresses of
64 // every function into the .llvm_bb_addr_map section. Along with the function
65 // symbols, this allows for mapping of virtual addresses in PMU profiles back to
66 // the corresponding basic blocks. This logic is implemented in AsmPrinter. This
67 // pass only assigns the BBSectionType of every function to ``labels``.
