9 // This file adds DWARF discriminators to the IR. Path discriminators are
10 // used to decide what CFG path was taken inside sub-graphs whose instructions
11 // share the same line and column number information.
12 //
13 // The main user of this is the sample profiler. Instruction samples are
14 // mapped to line number information. Since a single line may be spread
15 // out over several basic blocks, discriminators add more precise location
16 // for the samples.
17 //
18 // For example,
19 //
20 //   1  #define ASSERT(P)
21 //   2      if (!(P))
22 //   3        abort()
23 //   ...
24 //   100   while (true) {
25 //   101     ASSERT (sum < 0);
26 //   102     ...
27 //   130   }
28 //
29 // when converted to IR, this snippet looks something like:
30 //
31 // while.body:                                       ; preds = %entry, %if.end
32 //   %0 = load i32* %sum, align 4, !dbg !15
33 //   %cmp = icmp slt i32 %0, 0, !dbg !15
34 //   br i1 %cmp, label %if.end, label %if.then, !dbg !15
35 //
36 // if.then:                                          ; preds = %while.body
37 //   call void @abort(), !dbg !15
38 //   br label %if.end, !dbg !15
39 //
40 // Notice that all the instructions in blocks 'while.body' and 'if.then'
41 // have exactly the same debug information. When this program is sampled
42 // at runtime, the profiler will assume that all these instructions are
43 // equally frequent. This, in turn, will consider the edge while.body->if.then
44 // to be frequently taken (which is incorrect).
45 //
46 // By adding a discriminator value to the instructions in block 'if.then',
47 // we can distinguish instructions at line 101 with discriminator 0 from
48 // the instructions at line 101 with discriminator 1.
49 //

114 /// Assign DWARF discriminators.
115 ///
116 /// To assign discriminators, we examine the boundaries of every
117 /// basic block and its successors. Suppose there is a basic block B1
118 /// with successor B2. The last instruction I1 in B1 and the first
119 /// instruction I2 in B2 are located at the same file and line number.
120 /// This situation is illustrated in the following code snippet:
121 ///
122 ///       if (i < 10) x = i;
123 ///
124 ///     entry:
125 ///       br i1 %cmp, label %if.then, label %if.end, !dbg !10
126 ///     if.then:
127 ///       %1 = load i32* %i.addr, align 4, !dbg !10
128 ///       store i32 %1, i32* %x, align 4, !dbg !10
129 ///       br label %if.end, !dbg !10
130 ///     if.end:
131 ///       ret void, !dbg !12
132 ///
133 /// Notice how the branch instruction in block 'entry' and all the
134 /// instructions in block 'if.then' have the exact same debug location
135 /// information (!dbg !10).
136 ///
137 /// To distinguish instructions in block 'entry' from instructions in
138 /// block 'if.then', we generate a new lexical block for all the
139 /// instruction in block 'if.then' that share the same file and line
140 /// location with the last instruction of block 'entry'.
141 ///
142 /// This new lexical block will have the same location information as
143 /// the previous one, but with a new DWARF discriminator value.
144 ///
145 /// One of the main uses of this discriminator value is in runtime
146 /// sample profilers. It allows the profiler to distinguish instructions
147 /// at location !dbg !10 that execute on different basic blocks. This is
148 /// important because while the predicate 'if (x < 10)' may have been
149 /// executed millions of times, the assignment 'x = i' may have only
150 /// executed a handful of times (meaning that the entry->if.then edge is
151 /// seldom taken).
152 ///
153 /// If we did not have discriminator information, the profiler would
154 /// assign the same weight to both blocks 'entry' and 'if.then', which
155 /// in turn will make it conclude that the entry->if.then edge is very
156 /// hot.
157 ///
158 /// To decide where to create new discriminator values, this function
159 /// traverses the CFG and examines instruction at basic block boundaries.
160 /// If the last instruction I1 of a block B1 is at the same file and line
161 /// location as instruction I2 of successor B2, then it creates a new
162 /// lexical block for I2 and all the instruction in B2 that share the same
163 /// file and line location as I2. This new lexical block will have a
164 /// different discriminator number than I1.
