[PATCH] D119494: [CSSPGO] Do not recount callee samples when computing profile summary for nested CS profile.

[Hongtao Yu via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

hoy added inline comments.


================
Comment at: llvm/lib/ProfileData/ProfileSummaryBuilder.cpp:124
+  // profiles. This can happen during the generation of CS nested profile.
+  if (!GenCSNestedProfile || !GenerateMergedBaseProfiles)
+    for (const auto &I : FS.getCallsiteSamples())

For extbiny profile, ProfileSummaryBuilder is called in profile writing time, which is still in the SampleProf library. The command line switches being checked here is because we would like to correct the summary computation during profile writing time. Maybe we can expose a writer flag to for this instead.

A function profile may have both inlined samples and uninlined samples and it's hard to tell them apart once they are merged. We could add an extra attribute to the extbin profile for GenerateMergedBaseProfiles which can be checked here, similar to `ProfileIsCSNested`. This seems cleaner. WDYT?
