AlwaysInlinerPass is a module pass because it does interprocedural changes. EntryExitInstrumenterPass works on one function at a time, which should be modeled as a function pass.

> To keep EntryExitInstrumenterPass a function pass and enable it with -O0 I think we will need a way to communicate to the pass manager that the pass should be run even with optnone, my understanding was that a ModulePass will the way to do it. Do we have a way to advertise that a function pass should be run regardless of ' optnone' ?

That's what `isRequired()` is for...

Basically we need two changes. One is add `isRequired()` to EntryExitInstrumenterPass, the other is to run EntryExitInstrumenterPass under -O0 as well by removing the check in BackendUtil.cpp (or by changing it to `CodeGenOpts.InstrumentFunctions || ...` as you've done). Please keep the pass as a function pass.
