I am working on the fix. I am also going to refactor the code a bit to do all updates in the base Inliner class rather than SimpleInliner. My original reasoning was that we don't have to do the updates for AlwaysInliner, but that is not true. With PGO, if always inline pass inlines a hot callsite, the callee will not be updated with the right entruy count. Besides using callbacks between the base and derived class looks ugly. I am going to move all the updates to the base class (there will still be a callback passed to the cloning methods) and guard the updates with a check for PGO. Later, we can refine this to support updates for non-PGO cases as well.
