10 // This file contains definitions needed for reading sample profiles.
11 //
12 // NOTE: If you are making changes to this file format, please remember
13 //       to document them in the Clang documentation at
14 //       tools/clang/docs/UsersManual.rst.
15 //
16 // Text format
17 // -----------
18 //
19 // Sample profiles are written as ASCII text. The file is divided into
20 // sections, which correspond to each of the functions executed at runtime.
21 // Each section has the following format
22 //
23 //     function1:total_samples:total_head_samples
24 //      offset1[.discriminator]: number_of_samples [fn1:num fn2:num ... ]
25 //      offset2[.discriminator]: number_of_samples [fn3:num fn4:num ... ]
26 //      ...
27 //      offsetN[.discriminator]: number_of_samples [fn5:num fn6:num ... ]
28 //      offsetA[.discriminator]: fnA:num_of_total_samples
29 //       offsetA1[.discriminator]: number_of_samples [fn7:num fn8:num ... ]
30 //       ...
31 //
32 // This is a nested tree in which the identation represents the nesting level
33 // of the inline stack. There are no blank lines in the file. And the spacing
34 // within a single line is fixed. Additional spaces will result in an error
35 // while reading the file.
36 //
37 // Any line starting with the '#' character is completely ignored.
38 //
39 // Inlined calls are represented with indentation. The Inline stack is a
40 // stack of source locations in which the top of the stack represents the
41 // leaf function, and the bottom of the stack represents the actual
42 // symbol to which the instruction belongs.
43 //
44 // Function names must be mangled in order for the profile loader to
45 // match them in the current translation unit. The two numbers in the
46 // function header specify how many total samples were accumulated in the
47 // function (first number), and the total number of samples accumulated
48 // in the prologue of the function (second number). This head sample
49 // count provides an indicator of how frequently the function is invoked.
50 //
51 // There are two types of lines in the function body.
52 //
53 // * Sampled line represents the profile information of a source location.
54 // * Callsite line represents the profile information of a callsite.
55 //
56 // Each sampled line may contain several items. Some are optional (marked
57 // below):
58 //
59 // a. Source line offset. This number represents the line number
60 //    in the function where the sample was collected. The line number is
61 //    always relative to the line where symbol of the function is
62 //    defined. So, if the function has its header at line 280, the offset
63 //    13 is at line 293 in the file.
64 //
65 //    Note that this offset should never be a negative number. This could
66 //    happen in cases like macros. The debug machinery will register the
67 //    line number at the point of macro expansion. So, if the macro was
68 //    expanded in a line before the start of the function, the profile
69 //    converter should emit a 0 as the offset (this means that the optimizers
70 //    will not be able to associate a meaningful weight to the instructions
71 //    in the macro).
72 //
73 // b. [OPTIONAL] Discriminator. This is used if the sampled program
74 //    was compiled with DWARF discriminator support
75 //    (http://wiki.dwarfstd.org/index.php?title=Path_Discriminators).
76 //    DWARF discriminators are unsigned integer values that allow the
77 //    compiler to distinguish between multiple execution paths on the
78 //    same source line location.
79 //
80 //    For example, consider the line of code ``if (cond) foo(); else bar();``.
81 //    If the predicate ``cond`` is true 80% of the time, then the edge
82 //    into function ``foo`` should be considered to be taken most of the
83 //    time. But both calls to ``foo`` and ``bar`` are at the same source
84 //    line, so a sample count at that line is not sufficient. The
85 //    compiler needs to know which part of that line is taken more
86 //    frequently.
87 //
88 //    This is what discriminators provide. In this case, the calls to
89 //    ``foo`` and ``bar`` will be at the same line, but will have
90 //    different discriminator values. This allows the compiler to correctly
91 //    set edge weights into ``foo`` and ``bar``.
92 //
93 // c. Number of samples. This is an integer quantity representing the
94 //    number of samples collected by the profiler at this source
95 //    location.
96 //
97 // d. [OPTIONAL] Potential call targets and samples. If present, this
98 //    line contains a call instruction. This models both direct and
99 //    number of samples. For example,
100 //
101 //      130: 7  foo:3  bar:2  baz:7
102 //
103 //    The above means that at relative line offset 130 there is a call
104 //    instruction that calls one of ``foo()``, ``bar()`` and ``baz()``,
105 //    with ``baz()`` being the relatively more frequently called target.
106 //
107 // Each callsite line may contain several items. Some are optional.
108 //
109 // a. Source line offset. This number represents the line number of the
110 //    callsite that is inlined in the profiled binary.
111 //
112 // b. [OPTIONAL] Discriminator. Same as the discriminator for sampled line.
113 //
114 // c. Number of samples. This is an integer quantity representing the
115 //    total number of samples collected for the inlined instance at this
116 //    callsite
117 //
118 //
119 // Binary format
120 // -------------
121 //
122 // This is a more compact encoding. Numbers are encoded as ULEB128 values
123 // and all strings are encoded in a name table. The file is organized in
124 // the following sections:
125 //
126 // MAGIC (uint64_t)
127 //    File identifier computed by function SPMagic() (0x5350524f463432ff)
128 //
129 // VERSION (uint32_t)
130 //    File format version number computed by SPVersion()
131 //
132 // NAME TABLE
133 //    SIZE (uint32_t)
134 //        Number of entries in the name table.
135 //    NAMES
136 //        A NUL-separated list of SIZE strings.
137 //
138 // FUNCTION BODY (one for each uninlined function body present in the profile)
139 //    HEAD_SAMPLES (uint64_t) [only for top-level functions]
140 //        Total number of samples collected at the head (prologue) of the
141 //        function.
142 //        NOTE: This field should only be present for top-level functions
143 //              (i.e., not inlined into any caller). Inlined function calls
144 //              have no prologue, so they don't need this.
145 //    NAME_IDX (uint32_t)
146 //        Index into the name table indicating the function name.
147 //    SAMPLES (uint64_t)
148 //        Total number of samples collected in this function.
149 //    NRECS (uint32_t)
150 //        Total number of sampling records this function's profile.
151 //    BODY RECORDS
152 //        A list of NRECS entries. Each entry contains:
153 //          OFFSET (uint32_t)
154 //            Line offset from the start of the function.
155 //          DISCRIMINATOR (uint32_t)
156 //            Discriminator value (see description of discriminators
157 //            in the text format documentation above).
158 //          SAMPLES (uint64_t)
159 //            Number of samples collected at this location.
160 //          NUM_CALLS (uint32_t)
161 //            Number of non-inlined function calls made at this location. In the
162 //            case of direct calls, this number will always be 1. For indirect
163 //            calls (virtual functions and function pointers) this will
164 //            represent all the actual functions called at runtime.
165 //          CALL_TARGETS
166 //            A list of NUM_CALLS entries for each called function:
167 //               NAME_IDX (uint32_t)
168 //                  Index into the name table with the callee name.
169 //               SAMPLES (uint64_t)
170 //                  Number of samples collected at the call site.

176 //        OFFSET (uint32_t)
177 //          Line offset from the start of the function.
178 //        DISCRIMINATOR (uint32_t)
179 //          Discriminator value (see description of discriminators
180 //          in the text format documentation above).

205 /// \brief Sample-based profile reader.
206 ///
207 /// Each profile contains sample counts for all the functions
208 /// executed. Inside each function, statements are annotated with the
209 /// collected samples on all the instructions associated with that
210 /// statement.
211 ///
212 /// For this to produce meaningful data, the program needs to be
213 /// compiled with some debug information (at minimum, line numbers:
214 /// -gline-tables-only). Otherwise, it will be impossible to match IR
215 /// instructions to the line numbers collected by the profiler.
216 ///
217 /// From the profile file, we are interested in collecting the
218 /// following information:
219 ///
220 /// * A list of functions included in the profile (mangled names).
221 ///
222 /// * For each function F:
223 ///   1. The total number of samples collected in F.
224 ///
225 ///   2. The samples collected at each line in F. To provide some
226 ///      protection against source code shuffling, line numbers should
227 ///      be relative to the start of the function.
228 ///
229 /// The reader supports two file formats: text and binary. The text format
230 /// is useful for debugging and testing, while the binary format is more
231 /// compact and I/O efficient. They can both be used interchangeably.
