Prerequisite change:
Previously JIT notifiers were called before relocations were
performed (leading to ominious function call of "0"), and before
memory marked executable (confusing some profilers).
Move notifications to finalizeLoadedModules().
Main change:
Add PerfJITEventListener for perf profiling support.
Given that the listener has no dependencies, it might be sensible to
enable it by default when running on linux.
I followed existing precedent in registering the listener by default
in lli, but I'm not sure that's a great idea? I've had to disable it
for the remote MCJIT tests - the computed address is from the remote,
and I didn't see a way to get access to the actual code.
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 /tmp/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

And line-level annotations also work:

Should this be enable this by default on linux?
