10 // This file adds DWARF discriminators to the IR. Path discriminators are
11 // used to decide what CFG path was taken inside sub-graphs whose instructions
12 // share the same line and column number information.
13 //
14 // The main user of this is the sample profiler. Instruction samples are
15 // mapped to line number information. Since a single line may be spread
16 // out over several basic blocks, discriminators add more precise location
17 // for the samples.
18 //
19 // For example,
20 //
21 //   1  #define ASSERT(P)
22 //   2      if (!(P))
23 //   3        abort()
24 //   ...
25 //   100   while (true) {
26 //   101     ASSERT (sum < 0);
27 //   102     ...
28 //   130   }
29 //
30 // when converted to IR, this snippet looks something like:
31 //
32 // while.body:                                       ; preds = %entry, %if.end
33 //   %0 = load i32* %sum, align 4, !dbg !15
34 //   %cmp = icmp slt i32 %0, 0, !dbg !15
35 //   br i1 %cmp, label %if.end, label %if.then, !dbg !15
36 //
37 // if.then:                                          ; preds = %while.body
38 //   call void @abort(), !dbg !15
39 //   br label %if.end, !dbg !15
40 //
41 // Notice that all the instructions in blocks 'while.body' and 'if.then'
42 // have exactly the same debug information. When this program is sampled
43 // at runtime, the profiler will assume that all these instructions are
44 // equally frequent. This, in turn, will consider the edge while.body->if.then
45 // to be frequently taken (which is incorrect).
46 //
47 // By adding a discriminator value to the instructions in block 'if.then',
48 // we can distinguish instructions at line 101 with discriminator 0 from
49 // the instructions at line 101 with discriminator 1.
50 //

105 /// \brief Assign DWARF discriminators.
106 ///
107 /// To assign discriminators, we examine the boundaries of every
108 /// basic block and its successors. Suppose there is a basic block B1
109 /// with successor B2. The last instruction I1 in B1 and the first
110 /// instruction I2 in B2 are located at the same file and line number.
111 /// This situation is illustrated in the following code snippet:
112 ///
113 ///       if (i < 10) x = i;
114 ///
115 ///     entry:
116 ///       br i1 %cmp, label %if.then, label %if.end, !dbg !10
117 ///     if.then:
118 ///       %1 = load i32* %i.addr, align 4, !dbg !10
119 ///       store i32 %1, i32* %x, align 4, !dbg !10
120 ///       br label %if.end, !dbg !10
121 ///     if.end:
122 ///       ret void, !dbg !12
123 ///
124 /// Notice how the branch instruction in block 'entry' and all the
125 /// instructions in block 'if.then' have the exact same debug location
126 /// information (!dbg !10).
127 ///
128 /// To distinguish instructions in block 'entry' from instructions in
129 /// block 'if.then', we generate a new lexical block for all the
130 /// instruction in block 'if.then' that share the same file and line
131 /// location with the last instruction of block 'entry'.
132 ///
133 /// This new lexical block will have the same location information as
134 /// the previous one, but with a new DWARF discriminator value.
135 ///
136 /// One of the main uses of this discriminator value is in runtime
137 /// sample profilers. It allows the profiler to distinguish instructions
138 /// at location !dbg !10 that execute on different basic blocks. This is
139 /// important because while the predicate 'if (x < 10)' may have been
140 /// executed millions of times, the assignment 'x = i' may have only
141 /// executed a handful of times (meaning that the entry->if.then edge is
142 /// seldom taken).
143 ///
144 /// If we did not have discriminator information, the profiler would
145 /// assign the same weight to both blocks 'entry' and 'if.then', which
146 /// in turn will make it conclude that the entry->if.then edge is very
147 /// hot.
148 ///
149 /// To decide where to create new discriminator values, this function
150 /// traverses the CFG and examines instruction at basic block boundaries.
151 /// If the last instruction I1 of a block B1 is at the same file and line
152 /// location as instruction I2 of successor B2, then it creates a new
153 /// lexical block for I2 and all the instruction in B2 that share the same
154 /// file and line location as I2. This new lexical block will have a
155 /// different discriminator number than I1.
