Ok, I think I will leave that for the second patch, since I need to do some testing on the effects - i.e. the propagation I had in mind would make any 0-count routine called by a routine that was dropped to guessed to also be dropped to guessed (and no longer unlikely). It may be too aggressive, I need to check. >> >> >> >>> + if (node->count) >> >> >>> + continue; >> > Also here we should sum the counts and consider function non unlikely >> > executed >> > in the same way as probably_never_executed does. >> >> I assume you mean by doing the same comparison to the number of >> profile->runs.

The code in your patch was just checking the edge count, not the caller count. cgraph_maybe_hot_edge_p also doesn't check the caller count, just the edge count. Do we want to make all functions with hot callers also be hot, even when the edge count is not hot? This may be to aggressive. I was simply going to make the code check e->count.
