Your patch is already changing behavior; CodeGen will load profiles using clang's VFS, so vfs overlay will affect how profiles are loaded. The mismatch is that CodeGen will load the path using clang's VFS but `setPGOUseInstrumentor` will load it directly from real file-system, so they can be out-of-sync.

On second look, `setPGOUseInstrumentor` seems to create a throw-away `IndexedInstrProfReader` just for reading a couple of settings to set some flags. This seems redundant, could we move the determination of these flags at the point where `CodeGenModule` is creating its own `IndexedInstrProfReader` and remove `setPGOUseInstrumentor` from `CompilerInvocation::ParseCodeGenArgs` entirely?

`PGOOptions.h` is transitively included by many files, if I touch that header, and then compile `clang`, there are 225 files that need to be re-compiled.

I thought that moving the `PGOOptions` members I mentioned out-of-line would be enough to avoid the need to include `VirtualFileSystem.h`, is this not the case?
