Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] kbuild: Add config to assert profile accuracy for aggressive optimization
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2025 19:11:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251014191156.3836703-5-xur@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251014191156.3836703-1-xur@google.com>
From: Rong Xu <xur@google.com>
Adds a build config to AutoFDO to assert that the generated profile
accurately represents the intended workload. This enables Clang to
perform more aggressive optimizations.
