[LLVMdev] Duplicate records in instrumented profile data?

[Diego Novillo]

As a follow up to my function entry count
(http://reviews.llvm.org/D9628), I modified codegen to emit the entry
counters:

--- a/lib/CodeGen/CodeGenPGO.cpp
+++ b/lib/CodeGen/CodeGenPGO.cpp
@@ -773,6 +773,8 @@
CodeGenPGO::applyFunctionAttributes(llvm::IndexedInstrProfReader
*PGOReader,
     // Turn on Cold attribute for cold functions.
     // FIXME: 1% is from preliminary tuning on SPEC, it may not be optimal.
     Fn->addFnAttr(llvm::Attribute::Cold);
+
+  Fn->setEntryCount(FunctionCount);
 }

 void CodeGenPGO::emitCounterIncrement(CGBuilderTy &Builder, const Stmt *S) {


This is causing a couple of failures in
projects/compiler-rt/test/profile/instrprof-dynamic-*-shared.test.
There is a comparison failure in the bytecode files between the shared
and static link cases.

The entry counts in the statically linked binary are exactly twice
those of the share-linked library. At first I thought it was
llvm-profdata somehow merging the wrong records, but the raw count
file seems to be wrong.

I modified llvm-profdata to show me the records it's merging. And it
is, indeed, getting duplicate records for one of the template
functions. For instrproof-dynamic-one-shared.test, I get the following
for the statically linked profile:

$  bin/llvm-profdata merge -o /dev/null
projects/compiler-rt/test/profile/Output/instrprof-dynamic-one-shared.test.tmp-static.profraw
Added record for: _Z1av - hash: 10 - counts: { 1 1 }
Added record for: _Z3barIvEvv - hash: 10 - counts: { 3 3 }
Added record for: _Z3barIcEvv - hash: 10 - counts: { 1 1 }
Added record for: _Z1bv - hash: 10 - counts: { 1 1 }
Added record for: _Z3barIvEvv - hash: 10 - counts: { 3 3 }
Added record for: _Z3barIiEvv - hash: 10 - counts: { 1 1 }
Added record for: _Z3fooi - hash: 10 - counts: { 1 1 }
Added record for: main - hash: 0 - counts: { 1 }

Notice how bar<void>() (_Z3barIvEvv) shows up twice. The entry counter
for it ends up at 6 because of this.

For the share-linked profile, I get:

bin/llvm-profdata merge -o /dev/null
projects/compiler-rt/test/profile/Output/instrprof-dynamic-one-shared.test.tmp-shared.profraw
Added record for: _Z1bv - hash: 10 - counts: { 1 1 }
Added record for: _Z3barIvEvv - hash: 10 - counts: { 3 3 }
Added record for: _Z3barIiEvv - hash: 10 - counts: { 1 1 }
Added record for: _Z3fooi - hash: 10 - counts: { 1 1 }
Added record for: main - hash: 0 - counts: { 1 }
Added record for: _Z1av - hash: 10 - counts: { 1 1 }
Added record for: _Z3barIvEvv - hash: 10 - counts: { 0 0 }
Added record for: _Z3barIcEvv - hash: 10 - counts: { 1 1 }

In this case, bar<void>() is also mentioned twice, but the second set
of counters is set to 0, so we managed to get it right.

The problem seems to be somewhere in the instrumentation generated.
Do you folks recognize this?  To reproduce, you would need to apply
http://reviews.llvm.org/D9628 (it is still under review) and the
patchlet I included at the top of this message.


Thanks.  Diego.
