// This file implements a transformation that synthesizes entry counts for
// functions and attaches !prof metadata to functions with the synthesized
// counts. The presence of !prof metadata with counter name set to
// 'synthesized_function_entry_count' indicate that the value of the counter is
// an estimation of the likely execution count of the function. This transform
// is applied only in non PGO mode as functions get 'real' profile-based
// function entry counts in the PGO mode.
//
// The transformation works by first assigning some initial values to the entry
// counts of all functions and then doing a top-down traversal of the
// callgraph-scc to propagate the counts. For each function the set of callsites
// and their relative block frequency is gathered. The relative block frequency
// multiplied by the entry count of the caller and added to the callee's entry
// count. For non-trivial SCCs, the new counts are computed from the previous
// counts and updated in one shot.
