//
// This file defines the interface for the MachineTraceMetrics analysis pass
// that estimates CPU resource usage and critical data dependency paths through
// preferred traces. This is useful for super-scalar CPUs where execution speed
// can be limited both by data dependencies and by limited execution resources.
//
// Out-of-order CPUs will often be executing instructions from multiple basic
// blocks at the same time. This makes it difficult to estimate the resource
// usage accurately in a single basic block. Resources can be estimated better
// by looking at a trace through the current basic block.
//
// For every block, the MachineTraceMetrics pass will pick a preferred trace
// that passes through the block. The trace is chosen based on loop structure,
// branch probabilities, and resource usage. The intention is to pick likely
// traces that would be the most affected by code transformations.
//
// It is expensive to compute a full arbitrary trace for every block, so to
// save some computations, traces are chosen to be convergent. This means that
// if the traces through basic blocks A and B ever cross when moving away from
// A and B, they never diverge again. This applies in both directions - If the
// traces meet above A and B, they won't diverge when going further back.
//
// Traces tend to align with loops. The trace through a block in an inner loop
// will begin at the loop entry block and end at a back edge. If there are
// nested loops, the trace may begin and end at those instead.
//
// For each trace, we compute the critical path length, which is the number of
// cycles required to execute the trace when execution is limited by data
// dependencies only. We also compute the resource height, which is the number
// of cycles required to execute all instructions in the trace when ignoring
// data dependencies.
//
// Every instruction in the current block has a slack - the number of cycles
// execution of the instruction can be delayed without extending the critical
// path.
