[CSSPGO] Aggregation by the last K context frames for cold profiles
ClosedPublic

Summary

This change provides the option to merge and aggregate cold context by the last k frames instead of context-less name. By default K = 1 means the context-less one.

This is for better perf tuning. The more selective merging and trimming will rely on llvm-profgen's preinliner.

Thanks for the patch. I think this can be useful for tuning. However as we discussed, it'd be nice if the level of merging (number of frames to keep after merging) can be adaptive based on hotness. But to do that, the preinliner in llvm-profgen is the way to go.

We need to find @ instead of @ as mangle name can contain @. And how about using StringRef::rfind ?

llvm/lib/ProfileData/SampleProf.cpp
346–348

Now rename this to MergedProfileMap?

Looks like all call site have explicit argument, do we still need a default one?

nit: how about name it frame-depth-for-cold-context? similar name for llvm-profdata flag and all variables.
