A colleague contacted me and asked why Rust's counters start at 1, when
Clangs appear to start at 0. There is a reason why Rust's internal
counters start at 1 (see the docs), and I tried to keep them consistent
when codegenned to LLVM's coverage mapping format. LLVM should be
tolerant of missing counters, but as my colleague pointed out,
`llvm-cov` will silently fail to generate a coverage report for a
function based on LLVM's assumption that the counters are 0-based.
See:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/lib/ProfileData/Coverage/CoverageMapping.cpp#L170
Apparently, if, for example, a function has no branches, it would have
exactly 1 counter. `CounterValues.size()` would be 1, and (with the
1-based index), the counter ID would be 1. This would fail the check
and abort reporting coverage for the function.
It turns out that by correcting for this during coverage map generation,
by subtracting 1 from the Rust Counter ID (both when generating the
counter increment intrinsic call, and when adding counters to the map),
some uncovered functions (including in tests) now appear covered! This
corrects the coverage for a few tests!
Adjusted LLVM codegen for code compiled with `-Zinstrument-coverage` to
address multiple, somewhat related issues.
Fixed a significant flaw in prior coverage solution: Every counter
generated a new counter variable, but there should have only been one
counter variable per function. This appears to have bloated .profraw
files significantly. (For a small program, it increased the size by
about 40%. I have not tested large programs, but there is anecdotal
evidence that profraw files were way too large. This is a good fix,
regardless, but hopefully it also addresses related issues.

Invalid LLVM coverage data produced when compiled with -C opt-level=1
Existing tests now work up to at least `opt-level=3`. This required a
detailed analysis of the LLVM IR, comparisons with Clang C++ LLVM IR
when compiled with coverage, and a lot of trial and error with codegen
adjustments.
The biggest hurdle was figuring out how to continue to support coverage
results for unused functions and generics. Rust's coverage results have
three advantages over Clang's coverage results:
1. Rust's coverage map does not include any overlapping code regions,
making coverage counting unambiguous.
2. Rust generates coverage results (showing zero counts) for all unused
functions, including generics. (Clang does not generate coverage for
uninstantiated template functions.)
3. Rust's unused functions produce minimal stubbed functions in LLVM IR,
sufficient for including in the coverage results; while Clang must
generate the complete LLVM IR for each unused function, even though
it will never be called.
This PR removes the previous hack of attempting to inject coverage into
some other existing function instance, and generates dedicated instances
for each unused function. This change, and a few other adjustments
(similar to what is required for `-C link-dead-code`, but with lower
impact), makes it possible to support LLVM optimizations.
Fixes: #79651
Coverage report: "Unexecuted instantiation:..." for a generic function
from multiple crates
Fixed by removing the aforementioned hack. Some "Unexecuted
instantiation" notices are unavoidable, as explained in the
`used_crate.rs` test, but `-Zinstrument-coverage` has new options to
back off support for either unused generics, or all unused functions,
which avoids the notice, at the cost of less coverage of unused
functions.
Fixes: #82875
Invalid LLVM coverage data produced with crate brotli_decompressor
Fixed by disabling the LLVM function attribute that forces inlining, if
`-Z instrument-coverage` is enabled. This attribute is applied to
Rust functions with `#[inline(always)], and in some cases, the forced
inlining breaks coverage instrumentation and reports.
The definition of this struct changes in LLVM 12 due to the addition
of branch coverage support. To avoid future mismatches, declare our
own struct and then convert between them.
Changes the coverage map injected into binaries compiled with
`-Zinstrument-coverage` to LLVM Coverage Mapping Format, Version 4 (from
Version 3). Note, binaries compiled with this version will require LLVM
tools from at least LLVM Version 11.
Implementing the Graph traits for the BasicCoverageBlock

optimized replacement of counters with expressions plus new BCB graphviz
* Avoid adding coverage to unreachable blocks.
* Special case for Goto at the end of the body. Make it non-reportable.
Improved debugging and formatting options (from env)
Don't automatically add counters to BCBs without CoverageSpans. They may
still get counters but only if there are dependencies from
other BCBs that have spans, I think.
Make CodeRegions optional for Counters too. It is
possible to inject counters (`llvm.instrprof.increment` intrinsic calls
without corresponding code regions in the coverage map. An expression
can still uses these counter values.
Refactored instrument_coverage.rs -> instrument_coverage/mod.rs, and
then broke up the mod into multiple files.
Compiling with coverage, with the expression optimization, works on
the json5format crate and its dependencies.
Refactored debug features from mod.rs to debug.rs
Addresses Issue #78286
Libraries compiled with coverage and linked with out enabling coverage
would fail when attempting to add the library's coverage statements to
the codegen coverage context (None).
Now, if coverage statements are encountered while compiling / linking
with `-Z instrument-coverage` disabled, codegen will *not* attempt to
add code regions to a coverage map, and it will not inject the LLVM
instrprof_increment intrinsic calls.
