Irreducible loop metadata for more accurate block frequency under PGO.
Summary: Currently the block frequency analysis is an approximation for irreducible loops. The new irreducible loop metadata is used to annotate the irreducible loop headers with their header weights based on the PGO profile (currently this is approximated to be evenly weighted) and to help improve the accuracy of the block frequency analysis for irreducible loops. This patch is a basic support for this. Reviewers: davidxl Reviewed By: davidxl Subscribers: mehdi_amini, llvm-commits, eraman Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D39028 llvm-svn: 317278
