This adds support for a HasTailCall flag on function call edges in the
ThinLTO summary. It is intended for use in aiding discovery of missing
frames from tail calls in profiled call stacks for MemProf of profiled
binaries that did not disable tail call elimination. A follow on change
will add the use of this new flag during MemProf context disambiguation.
The new flag is encoded in the bitcode along with either the hotness
flag from the profile, or the relative block frequency under the
-write-relbf-to-summary flag when there is no profile data.
Because we now will always have some additional call edge information, I
have removed the non-profile function summary record format, and we
simply encode the tail call flag along with a hotness type of none when
there is no profile information or relative block frequency. The change
of record format and name caused most of the test case changes.
I have added explicit testing of generation of the new tail call flag
into the bitcode and IR assembly format as part of the changes to
llvm/test/Bitcode/thinlto-function-summary-refgraph.ll. I have also
added round trip testing through assembly and bitcode to
llvm/test/Assembler/thinlto-summary.ll.
This reverts commit aae8524bcc26cf04729f2bbc02ecb54233a587e4, which was
found to cause a few unexpected benchmark performance differences that
need investigation.
As pointed out in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/undeterministic-thin-index-file/69985, the
block count added to distributed ThinLTO index files breaks incremental
builds on ThinLTO - if any linked file has a different number of BBs,
then the accumulated sum placed in the index files will change, causing
all ThinLTO backend compiles to be redone.
This was only used for partial sample profiles, and was therefore
removed for other cases (3adc6e03080c6d38a51f5c5b6744b7c0d9c7541b).
Subsequent testing did not show a performance effect of disabling this
feature even for partial sample profiles. Therefore, switch the default
to false. If this does not cause a noticeable performance degradation
after the default flip, we can remove this support completely.

The block count is only used for scaling of partial sample profiles, and
was added in D80403 for D79831.
This patch simply removes this field from the index files of non partial
sample profile compiles, which is NFC on the output of the compiler.
We subsequently need to see if this can be removed for partial sample
profiles without signficant performance loss, or redesigned in a way
that does not destroy caching.
