[HotColdSplitting] Refine definition of unlikelyExecuted
The splitting pass uses its 'unlikelyExecuted' predicate to statically decide which blocks are cold. - Do not treat noreturn calls as if they are cold unless they are actually marked cold. This is motivated by functions like exit() and longjmp(), which are not beneficial to outline. - Do not treat inline asm as an outlining barrier. In practice asm("") is frequently used to inhibit basic block merging; enabling outlining in this case results in substantial memory savings. - Treat invokes of cold functions as cold. As a drive-by, remove the 'exceptionHandlingFunctions' predicate, because it's no longer needed. The pass can identify & outline blocks dominated by EH pads, so there's no need to special-case __cxa_begin_catch etc. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D54244 llvm-svn: 348640
