Static branch predictions (which guide block ordering) are
adjusted based on:
loop/not-loop (favor looping)
abnormal-exit/not (avoid panic)
call/not-call (avoid call)
ret/default (treat returns as rare)
This appears to make no difference in performance of real
code, meaning the compiler itself. The earlier version of
this has been stripped down to help make the cost of this
only-aesthetic-on-Intel phase be as cheap as possible (we
probably want information about inner loops for improving
register allocation, but because register allocation follows
close behind this pass, conceivably the information could be
reused -- so we might do this anyway just to normalize
output).
For a ./make.bash that takes 200 user seconds, about .75
second is reported in likelyadjust (summing nanoseconds
reported with -d=ssa/likelyadjust/time ).
Upstream predictions are respected.
Includes test, limited to build on amd64 only.
Did several iterations on the debugging output to allow
some rough checks on behavior.
Debug=1 logging notes agree/disagree with earlier passes,
allowing analysis like the following:
Run on make.bash:
GO_GCFLAGS=-d=ssa/likelyadjust/debug \
./make.bash >& lkly5.log
grep 'ranch prediction' lkly5.log | wc -l
78242 // 78k predictions
grep 'ranch predi' lkly5.log | egrep -v 'agrees with' | wc -l
29633 // 29k NEW predictions
grep 'disagrees' lkly5.log | wc -l
444 // contradicted 444 times
grep '< exit' lkly5.log | wc -l
10212 // 10k exit predictions
grep '< exit' lkly5.log | egrep 'disagrees' | wc -l
5 // 5 contradicted by previous prediction
grep '< exit' lkly5.log | egrep -v 'agrees' | wc -l
702 // 702-5 redundant with previous prediction
grep '< call' lkly5.log | egrep -v 'agrees' | wc -l
16699 // 16k new call predictions
grep 'stay in loop' lkly5.log | egrep -v 'agrees' | wc -l
3951 // 4k new "remain in loop" predictions
Fixes #11451.

The Go Programming Language
Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.
For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.
Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.
Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!
To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html
Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.
Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
