MERGE
SYNOPSIS
llvm-profdata merge [options] [filename...]
DESCRIPTION
llvm-profdata merge takes several profile data files generated by PGO instrumentation and merges them together into a single indexed profile data file. By default profile data is merged without modification. This means that the relative importance of each input file is proportional to the number of samples or counts it contains. In general, the input from a longer training run will be interpreted as relatively more important than a shorter run. Depending on the nature of the training runs it may be useful to adjust the weight given to each input file by using the -weighted-input option. Profiles passed in via -weighted-input, -input-files, or via positional arguments are processed once for each time they are seen.
OPTIONS
NDENT 0.0

--help Print a summary of command line options. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--output=<output>, -o Specify the output file name. Output cannot be - as the resulting indexed profile data can\(aqt be written to standard output. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--weighted-input=<weight,filename> Specify an input file name along with a weight. The profile counts of the supplied filename will be scaled (multiplied) by the supplied weight, where weight is a decimal integer >= 1. Input files specified without using this option are assigned a default weight of 1. Examples are shown below. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--input-files=<path>, -f Specify a file which contains a list of files to merge. The entries in this file are newline-separated. Lines starting with \(aq#\(aq are skipped. Entries may be of the form <filename> or <weight>,<filename>. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--remapping-file=<path>, -r Specify a file which contains a remapping from symbol names in the input profile to the symbol names that should be used in the output profile. The file should consist of lines of the form <input-symbol> <output-symbol>. Blank lines and lines starting with # are skipped. The \%llvm-cxxmap tool can be used to generate the symbol remapping file. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--instr (default) Specify that the input profile is an instrumentation-based profile. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--sample Specify that the input profile is a sample-based profile. The format of the generated file can be generated in one of three ways: NDENT 7.0

--binary (default) NINDENT Emit the profile using a binary encoding. For instrumentation-based profile the output format is the indexed binary format. NDENT 7.0

--extbinary NINDENT Emit the profile using an extensible binary encoding. This option can only be used with sample-based profile. The extensible binary encoding can be more compact with compression enabled and can be loaded faster than the default binary encoding. NDENT 7.0

--text NINDENT Emit the profile in text mode. This option can also be used with both sample-based and instrumentation-based profile. When this option is used the profile will be dumped in the text format that is parsable by the profile reader. NDENT 7.0

--gcc NINDENT Emit the profile using GCC\(aqs gcov format (Not yet supported). NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--sparse[=true|false] Do not emit function records with 0 execution count. Can only be used in conjunction with -instr. Defaults to false, since it can inhibit compiler optimization during PGO. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--num-threads=<N>, -j Use N threads to perform profile merging. When N=0, llvm-profdata auto-detects an appropriate number of threads to use. This is the default. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--failure-mode=[any|all] Set the failure mode. There are two options: \(aqany\(aq causes the merge command to fail if any profiles are invalid, and \(aqall\(aq causes the merge command to fail only if all profiles are invalid. If \(aqall\(aq is set, information from any invalid profiles is excluded from the final merged product. The default failure mode is \(aqany\(aq. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--prof-sym-list=<path> Specify a file which contains a list of symbols to generate profile symbol list in the profile. This option can only be used with sample-based profile in extbinary format. The entries in this file are newline-separated. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--compress-all-sections=[true|false] Compress all sections when writing the profile. This option can only be used with sample-based profile in extbinary format. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--use-md5=[true|false] Use MD5 to represent string in name table when writing the profile. This option can only be used with sample-based profile in extbinary format. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--gen-partial-profile=[true|false] Mark the profile to be a partial profile which only provides partial profile coverage for the optimized target. This option can only be used with sample-based profile in extbinary format. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--supplement-instr-with-sample=<file> Supplement an instrumentation profile with sample profile. The sample profile is the input of the flag. Output will be in instrumentation format (only works with -instr). NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--zero-counter-threshold=<float> For the function which is cold in instr profile but hot in sample profile, if the ratio of the number of zero counters divided by the total number of counters is above the threshold, the profile of the function will be regarded as being harmful for performance and will be dropped. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--instr-prof-cold-threshold=<int> User specified cold threshold for instr profile which will override the cold threshold got from profile summary. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--suppl-min-size-threshold=<int> If the size of a function is smaller than the threshold, assume it can be inlined by PGO early inliner and it will not be adjusted based on sample profile. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--debug-info=<path> Specify the executable or .dSYM that contains debug info for the raw profile. When -debug-info-correlate was used for instrumentation, use this option to correlate the raw profile. NINDENT

EXAMPLES
Basic Usage
Merge three profiles: NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5
llvm-profdata merge foo.profdata bar.profdata baz.profdata -output merged.profdata
NINDENT NINDENT
Weighted Input
The input file foo.profdata is especially important, multiply its counts by 10: NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5
llvm-profdata merge --weighted-input=10,foo.profdata bar.profdata baz.profdata --output merged.profdata
NINDENT NINDENT Exactly equivalent to the previous invocation (explicit form; useful for programmatic invocation): NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5
llvm-profdata merge --weighted-input=10,foo.profdata --weighted-input=1,bar.profdata --weighted-input=1,baz.profdata --output merged.profdata
NINDENT NINDENT
SHOW
SYNOPSIS
llvm-profdata show [options] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
llvm-profdata show takes a profile data file and displays the information about the profile counters for this file and for any of the specified function(s). If filename is omitted or is -, then llvm-profdata show reads its input from standard input.

OVERLAP
SYNOPSIS
llvm-profdata overlap [options] [base profile file] [test profile file]
DESCRIPTION
llvm-profdata overlap takes two profile data files and displays the overlap of counter distribution between the whole files and between any of the specified functions. In this command, overlap is defined as follows: Suppose base profile file has the following counts: {c1_1, c1_2, ..., c1_n, c1_u_1, c2_u_2, ..., c2_u_s}, and test profile file has {c2_1, c2_2, ..., c2_n, c2_v_1, c2_v_2, ..., c2_v_t}. Here c{1|2}_i (i = 1 .. n) are matched counters and c1_u_i (i = 1 .. s) and c2_v_i (i = 1 .. v) are unmatched counters (or counters only existing in) base profile file and test profile file, respectively. Let sum_1 = c1_1 + c1_2 + ... + c1_n + c1_u_1 + c2_u_2 + ... + c2_u_s, and sum_2 = c2_1 + c2_2 + ... + c2_n + c2_v_1 + c2_v_2 + ... + c2_v_t. overlap = min(c1_1/sum_1, c2_1/sum_2) + min(c1_2/sum_1, c2_2/sum_2) + ... + min(c1_n/sum_1, c2_n/sum_2). The result overlap distribution is a percentage number, ranging from 0.0% to 100.0%, where 0.0% means there is no overlap and 100.0% means a perfect overlap. Here is an example, if base profile file has counts of {400, 600}, and test profile file has matched counts of {60000, 40000}. The overlap is 80%.
OPTIONS

--help Print a summary of command line options. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--output=<output>, -o Specify the output file name. If output is - or it isn\(aqt specified, then the output is sent to standard output. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--value-cutoff=<n> Show only those functions whose max count values are greater or equal to n. By default, the value-cutoff is set to max of unsigned long long. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

EXIT STATUS
llvm-profdata returns 1 if the command is omitted or is invalid, if it cannot read input files, or if there is a mismatch between their data.
