// Uses profile information to split out cold blocks.
//
// This pass splits out cold machine basic blocks from the parent function. This
// implementation leverages the basic block section framework. Blocks marked
// cold by this pass are grouped together in a separate section prefixed with
// ".text.unlikely.*". The linker can then group these together as a cold
// section. The split part of the function is a contiguous region identified by
// the symbol "foo.cold". Grouping all cold blocks across functions together
// decreases fragmentation and improves icache and itlb utilization. Note that
// the overall changes to the binary size are negligible; only a small number of
// additional jump instructions may be introduced.
//
// For the original RFC of this pass please see
// https://groups.google.com/d/msg/llvm-dev/RUegaMg-iqc/wFAVxa6fCgAJ
