…f weights" #95136
Reverts #95060, and relands #86609, with the unintended code generation
changes addressed.
This patch implements the changes to LLVM IR discussed in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-update-branch-weights-metadata-to-allow-tracking-branch-weight-origins/75032
In this patch, we add an optional field to MD_prof meatdata nodes for
branch weights, which can be used to distinguish weights added from
llvm.expect* intrinsics from those added via other methods, e.g. from
profiles or inserted by the compiler.
One of the major motivations, is for use with MisExpect diagnostics,
which need to know if branch_weight metadata originates from an
llvm.expect intrinsic. Without that information, we end up checking
branch weights multiple times in the case if ThinLTO + SampleProfiling,
leading to some inaccuracy in how we report MisExpect related
diagnostics to users.
Since we change the format of MD_prof metadata in a fundamental way, we
need to update code handling branch weights in a number of places.
We also update the lang ref for branch weights to reflect the change.

CallInst::updateProfWeight() creates branch_weights with i64 instead of i32.
To be more consistent everywhere and remove lots of casts from uint64_t
to uint32_t, use i64 for branch_weights.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.

The lowerer wrongly assumes the ICMP instruction
1) always has a constant operand;
2) the operand has value 0.
It also assumes the expected value can only be one, thus
other values other than one will be considered 'zero'.
This leads to wrong profile annotation when other integer values
are used other than 0, 1 in the comparison or in the expect intrinsic.
Also missing is handling of equal predicate.
This patch fixes all the above problems.
