Summary:
This change implements the profile loading functionality in LLVM to
support XRay's profiling mode in compiler-rt.
We introduce a type named `llvm::xray::Profile` which allows building a
profile representation. We can load an XRay profile from a file to build
Profile instances, or do it manually through the Profile type's API.
The intent is to get the `llvm-xray` tool to generate `Profile`
instances and use that as the common abstraction through which all
conversion and analysis can be done. In the future we can generate
`Profile` instances from `Trace` instances as well, through conversion
functions.
Some of the key operations supported by the `Profile` API are:
- Path interning (`Profile::internPath(...)`) which returns a unique path
identifier.
- Block appending (`Profile::addBlock(...)`) to add thread-associated
profile information.
- Path ID to Path lookup (`Profile::expandPath(...)`) to look up a
PathID and return the original interned path.
- Block iteration.
A 'Path' in this context represents the function call stack in
leaf-to-root order. This is represented as a path in an internally
managed prefix tree in the `Profile` instance. Having a handle (PathID)
to identify the unique Paths we encounter for a particular Profile
allows us to reduce the amount of memory required to associate profile
data to a particular Path.
This is the first of a series of patches to migrate the `llvm-stacks`
tool towards using a single profile representation.
Depends on D48653.
