[SampleFDO] Add symbol whitelist section to discriminate function being cold versus function being newly added

[wmi]

Summary

This is the second half of https://reviews.llvm.org/D66374.

Symbol whitelist is the collection of function symbols showing up in the binary which generates the current profile. It is used to discriminate function being cold versus function being newly added. Symbol whitelist is only added for profile with ExtBinary format.

During profile use compilation, when profile-sample-accurate is enabled, a function without profile will be regarded as cold only when it is contained in that list.

Check zlib::isAvailable() -- if it returns false, do not do compression.

It is also better to add an internal option to disable compression.

(On Diff #217222)

The test would fail on platforms without zlib. Need to use REQUIRE to limit the test.

Address David and Mandeep's comments.

Add symbol whitelist support in llvm-profdata. It supports reading in a text format symbols list and adding it to a profile. The output profile has to be ExtBinary format. llvm-profdata can control whether the symbol whitelist will be compressed or not, and whether it will be shown when dumping the profile.

With llvm-profdata, profile with symbol-whitelist used for testing can be generated given an existing text format profile and a text symbol list.

[davidxl]

Suggesting on the naming: instead of using SymbolWhiteList, use 'ProfileSymbolList', or just 'SymbolList'. Otherwise the patch looks ok

lib/Transforms/IPO/SampleProfile.cpp

mention that symbol white list include all symbols in sampled binary,

Choose to use ProfileSymbolList.

Done.

[davidxl]

lgtm (please consolidate two test cases by factoring the common source code out and have two wrapper tests referencing it).

[wmi]

Extract the common part of compressed-profile-symbol-list.ll and uncompressed-profile-symbol-list.ll to a separate .ll file under Inputs directory.

Good point. Done.
