Currently in JumpThreading pass, the branch weight metadata is not updated after CFG modification. Consider the jump threading on PredBB, BB, and SuccBB. After jump threading, the weight on BB->SuccBB should be adjusted as some of it is contributed by the edge PredBB->BB, which doesn't exist anymore. This patch tries to update the edge weight in metadata on BB->SuccBB by scaling it by 1 - Freq(PredBB->BB) / Freq(BB->SuccBB). This is the third attempt to submit this patch, while the first two led to failures in some FDO tests. After investigation, it is the edge weight normalization that caused those failures. In this patch the edge weight normalization is fixed so that there is no zero weight in the output and the sum of all weights can fit in 32-bit integer. Several unit tests are added.

Analysis Opportunities: //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this: {1,+,3,+,2}<loop> Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n)) In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic, which is very inefficient when expanded into code. //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===// In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll, ScalarEvolution is forming this expression: ((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))) This could be folded to (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)) //===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
