This patch enables Function Specialization by default.
Compilation Time Overhead:
--------------------------
Measured the Instruction Count increase (Geomean) for CTMark from
the llvm-testsuite as in https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com.
* {-O3, Non-LTO}: +0.136% Instruction Count
* {-O3, LTO}: +0.346% Instruction Count
Performance Uplift:
-------------------
Measured +9.121% score increase for 505.mcf_r from SPEC Int 2017
(Tested on Neoverse N1 with -O3 + LTO)
Correctness Testing:
--------------------
* Passes bootstrap Clang with ASAN + LTO + FuncSpec aggressive options:
{ MaxClonesThreshold=10,
SmallFunctionThreshold=10,
AvgLoopIterationCount=30,
SpecializeOnAddresses=true,
EnableSpecializationForLiteralConstant=true,
FuncSpecializationMaxIters=10 }
* Builds Chromium and passes its unittests with the above options + ThinLTO.
