I believe this shows the importance of deprecating this flag as using IRPGO has better support and will give better performance gains. I wasn't sure how many people are using this flag, so I'm glad you reached out.
I can add a section to describe how to use this flag in the user manual (https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#profiling-with-instrumentation). Would that be sufficient?
