Enable AutoFDO. This largely involves implementing the options debug-info-for-profiling and profile-sample-use and forwarding them on to LLVM. AutoFDO can be used on x86-64 Linux like this: rustc -O -Clink-arg='Wl,--no-rosegment' -Cdebug-info-for-profiling main.rs -o main perf record -b ./main create_llvm_prof --binary=main --out=code.prof rustc -O -Cprofile-sample-use=code.prof main.rs -o main2 Now `main2` will have feedback directed optimization applied to it. The create_llvm_prof tool can be obtained from this github repository: https://github.com/google/autofdo The option -Clink-arg='Wl,--no-rosegment' is necessary to avoid lld putting an extra RO segment before the executable code, which would make the binary silently incompatible with create_llvm_prof. |

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
