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