- With PGO, indirect call edges are constructed using value profiles, and the profile address is mapped to a function's PGO name. The PGO name is computed using a functions linkage before LTO internalization or global promotion.
- With ThinLTO, local functions [could be
promoted](2663d2cb9c/llvm/lib/Transforms/Utils/FunctionImportUtils.cpp (L288)) to have external linkage; and with
[full](2663d2cb9c/llvm/lib/LTO/LTO.cpp (L1328))
or
[thin](2663d2cb9c/llvm/lib/LTO/LTO.cpp (L448))
LTO, global functions could be internalized. Edge construction should use a function's PGO name before its linkage is updated.
The `BlockFrequency` class abstracts `uint64_t` frequency values. Use it
more consistently in various APIs and disable implicit conversion to
make usage more consistent and explicit.
- Use `BlockFrequency Freq` parameter for `setBlockFreq`,
`getProfileCountFromFreq` and `setBlockFreqAndScale` functions.
- Return `BlockFrequency` in `getEntryFreq()` functions.
- While on it change some `const BlockFrequency& Freq` parameters to
plain `BlockFreqency Freq`.
- Mark `BlockFrequency(uint64_t)` constructor as explicit.
- Add missing `BlockFrequency::operator!=`.
- Remove `uint64_t BlockFreqency::getMaxFrequency()`.
- Add `BlockFrequency BlockFrequency::max()` function.
Don't fetch BFI if the function has no entry count. Peculiarly,
the implementation was already doing this for the (no longer
existing) legacy PM implementation, but the same principle applies
to the new pass manager. The only reason why the new PM doesn't
have LazyBFI is that with the new pass manager all passes are
lazy.
This improves compile-time for non-PGO builds.
With D112160 and D112164, on a Chrome Mac build this reduces the total
size of CGProfile sections by 78% (around 25% eliminated entirely) and
total size of object files by 0.14%.

PassManager.h is one of the top headers in the ClangBuildAnalyzer frontend worst offenders list.
This exposes a large number of implicit dependencies on various forward declarations/includes in other headers that need addressing.
to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

=== Generating the CG Profile ===
The CGProfile module pass simply gets the block profile count for each BB and scans for call instructions. For each call instruction it adds an edge from the current function to the called function with the current BB block profile count as the weight.
After scanning all the functions, it generates an appending module flag containing the data. The format looks like:
```
!llvm.module.flags = !{!0}
!0 = !{i32 5, !"CG Profile", !1}
!1 = !{!2, !3, !4} ; List of edges
!2 = !{void ()* @a, void ()* @b, i64 32} ; Edge from a to b with a weight of 32
!3 = !{void (i1)* @freq, void ()* @a, i64 11}
!4 = !{void (i1)* @freq, void ()* @b, i64 20}
```

This is the first pass in the main pipeline to use the legacy PM's
ability to run function analyses "on demand". Unfortunately, it turns
out there are bugs in that somewhat-hacky approach. At the very least,
it leaks memory and doesn't support -debug-pass=Structure. Unclear if
there are larger issues or not, but this should get the sanitizer bots
back to green by fixing the memory leaks.
