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. Every cluster's section is labeled with a symbol to allow the
25 // linker to reorder the sections in any arbitrary sequence. A global order of
26 // these sections would encapsulate the function layout.
27 //
28 // There are a couple of challenges to be addressed:
29 //
30 // 1. The last basic block of every cluster should not have any implicit
31 // fallthrough to its next basic block, as it can be reordered by the linker.
32 // The compiler should make these fallthroughs explicit by adding
33 // unconditional jumps..
34 //
35 // 2. All inter-cluster branch targets would now need to be resolved by the
36 // linker as they cannot be calculated during compile time. This is done
37 // using static relocations. Further, the compiler tries to use short branch
38 // instructions on some ISAs for small branch offsets. This is not possible
39 // for inter-cluster branches as the offset is not determined at compile
40 // time, and therefore, long branch instructions have to be used for those.
41 //
42 // 3. Debug Information (DebugInfo) and Call Frame Information (CFI) emission
43 // needs special handling with basic block sections. DebugInfo needs to be
44 // emitted with more relocations as basic block sections can break a
45 // function into potentially several disjoint pieces, and CFI needs to be
46 // emitted per cluster. This also bloats the object file and binary sizes.
47 //
48 // Basic Block Labels
49 // ==================
50 //
51 // With -fbasic-block-sections=labels, we emit the offsets of BB addresses of
52 // every function into the .llvm_bb_addr_map section. Along with the function
53 // symbols, this allows for mapping of virtual addresses in PMU profiles back to
54 // the corresponding basic blocks. This logic is implemented in AsmPrinter. This
55 // pass only assigns the BBSectionType of every function to ``labels``.
