This new JIT event listener supports generating profiling data for the linux 'perf' profiling tool, allowing it to generate function and instruction level profiles. Currently this functionality is not enabled by default, but must be enabled with LLVM_USE_PERF=yes. Given that the listener has no dependencies, it might be sensible to enable by default once the initial issues have been shaken out. I followed existing precedent in registering the listener by default in lli. Should there be a decision to enable this by default on linux, that should probably be changed. Please note that until https://reviews.llvm.org/D47343 is resolved, using this functionality with mcjit rather than orcjit will not reliably work. Disregarding the previous comment, here's an example: $ cat /tmp/expensive_loop.c bool stupid_isprime(uint64_t num) { if (num == 2) return true; if (num < 1 || num % 2 == 0) return false; for(uint64_t i = 3; i < num / 2; i+= 2) { if (num % i == 0) return false; } return true; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { int numprimes = 0; for (uint64_t num = argc; num < 100000; num++) { if (stupid_isprime(num)) numprimes++; } return numprimes; } $ clang -ggdb -S -c -emit-llvm /tmp/expensive_loop.c -o /tmp/expensive_loop.ll $ perf record -o perf.data -g -k 1 ./bin/lli -jit-kind=mcjit /tmp/expensive_loop.ll 1 $ perf inject --jit -i perf.data -o perf.jit.data $ perf report -i perf.jit.data - 92.59% lli jitted-5881-2.so [.] stupid_isprime stupid_isprime main llvm::MCJIT::runFunction llvm::ExecutionEngine::runFunctionAsMain main __libc_start_main 0x4bf6258d4c544155 + 0.85% lli ld-2.27.so [.] do_lookup_x And line-level annotations also work: │ for(uint64_t i = 3; i < num / 2; i+= 2) { │1 30: movq $0x3,-0x18(%rbp) 0.03 │1 38: mov -0x18(%rbp),%rax 0.03 │ mov -0x10(%rbp),%rcx │ shr $0x1,%rcx 3.63 │ ┌──cmp %rcx,%rax │ ├──jae 6f │ │ if (num % i == 0) 0.03 │ │ mov -0x10(%rbp),%rax │ │ xor %edx,%edx 89.00 │ │ divq -0x18(%rbp) │ │ cmp $0x0,%rdx 0.22 │ │↓ jne 5f │ │ return false; │ │ movb $0x0,-0x1(%rbp) │ │↓ jmp 73 │ │ } 3.22 │1 5f:│↓ jmp 61 │ │ for(uint64_t i = 3; i < num / 2; i+= 2) { Subscribers: mgorny, llvm-commits Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D44892 llvm-svn: 337789
LLVM Documentation
==================
LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight
plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the
reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it
is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation
system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <http://llvm.org/docs/> and
updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below.
If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install
Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do:
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir>
make -j3 docs-llvm-html
$BROWSER <build-dir>/docs//html/index.html
The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is
`docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//html/Foo.html` <-> `http://llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`.
If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read
`SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing documentation
very fast and includes examples of the most important reStructuredText
markup syntax.
Manpage Output
===============
Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The
primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the
default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the
directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`.
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir>
make -j3 docs-llvm-man
man -l >build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1
The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is
`docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//man/Foo.1`.
These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also
viewable online (as noted above) at e.g.
`http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`.
Checking links
==============
The reachability of external links in the documentation can be checked by
running:
cd docs/
make -f Makefile.sphinx linkcheck
Doxygen page Output
==============
Install doxygen <http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html> and dot2tex <https://dot2tex.readthedocs.io/en/latest>.
cd <build-dir>
cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=On <llvm-top-src-dir>
make doxygen-llvm # for LLVM docs
make doxygen-clang # for clang docs
It will generate html in
<build-dir>/docs/doxygen/html # for LLVM docs
<build-dir>/tools/clang/docs/doxygen/html # for clang docs
