[NFC] Do not run CGProfilePass when not using integrated assembler

[zhizhouy]

Summary

CGProfilePass is run by default in certain new pass manager optimization pipeline. Assemblers other than llvm as (such as gnu as) cannot recognize the .cgprofile entries generated and emitted from this pass, causing build time error.

This patch adds new options in clang CodeGenOpts and PassBuilder options so that we can turn cgprofile off when not using integrated assembler.

I find it a bit odd to have clang care about this, but I suppose it is the driver that knows which features tools support. I also have an issue with the name as CGProfilePass doesn't actually do the sorting. I would just keep the option as -enable-call-graph-profile-emission or something like that.

IIUC, user will always call clang to pass integrated as flag. Actually I also used to consider checking UseIntegratedAS-ish in PassBuilder,
but looking for a codegen options in PassBuilder seems going to break the integrity. Solutions for this is appreciated.

Sorry I mis-used the "sort" here, changing it to "enable-npm-call-graph-profile" to match the other newpm options in PassBuilder.

Renaming the opt.

llvm MC assembler? llvm-as is for converting text ll to bitcode files.

There are frontends and users of llvm other than clang.

Also all of the other options there are useful for experimenting with new passes, none of them are required for correctness, and none of them are ever set by clang.

Adding Chandler to see if he has a good solution.

Friendly ping :)

the call garph profile stuff needs to be a Clang CodeGenOpt IMO. Then it can be used to set a bool in the pass builder's option struct (see my other comment).

We can then set the CodeGenOpt based on whether we are using the integrated assembler.

We could also have a separate flag for setting the codegen opt for getting this profile information, and make the driver diagnose an incompatible combination of no-integrated-as and that flag. But we'll still end up threading that flag through to Clang's codegen layer, and then into the pass manager.

We shouldn't just use the cl::opt here. We need a flag in the pass builder's options struct. We can default it from the cl::opt.

You should add a test that uses the cl::opt to flip the default back and forth and get the different behavior in LLVM directly against the opt tool. Then the LLVM part of this can land.

Thanks,

Noticed a few typos. Rest lgtm but deferring to other reviewers for now for approval.

look good to me with the fix of comments.

The default value is specified by -enable-npm-call-graph-profile, rather than true, right?

Thanks for the comments.

I do not see a strong argument for -enable-npm-call-graph-profile. We just need Opts.CallGraphProfile = !Opts.DisableIntegratedAS
The option does not appear to be very useful to me.
