+// This pass checks the BOLT input profile quality.
+//
+// Check 1: how well the input profile satisfies the following
+// "CFG continuity" property of a perfect profile:
+//
+//        Each positive-execution-count block in the function’s CFG
+//        is *reachable* from a positive-execution-count function
+//        entry block through a positive-execution-count path.
+//
+// More specifically, for each of the hottest 1000 functions, the pass
+// calculates the function’s fraction of basic block execution counts
+// that is *unreachable*. It then reports the 95th percentile of the
+// distribution of the 1000 unreachable fractions in a single BOLT-INFO line.
+// The smaller the reported value is, the better the BOLT profile
+// satisfies the CFG continuity property.
+//
+// Check 2: how well the input profile satisfies the "call graph flow
+// conservation" property of a perfect profile:
+//
+//        For each function that is not a program entry, the number of times the
+//        function is called is equal to the net CFG outflow of the
+//        function's entry block(s).
+//
+// More specifically, for each of the hottest 1000 functions, the pass obtains
+// A = number of times the function is called, B = the function's entry blocks'
+// inflow, C = the function's entry blocks' outflow, where B and C are computed
+// using the function's weighted CFG. It then computes gap = 1 - MIN(A,C-B) /
+// MAX(A, C-B). The pass reports the 95th percentile of the distribution of the
+// 1000 gaps in a single BOLT-INFO line. The smaller the reported value is, the
+// better the BOLT profile satisfies the call graph flow conservation property.
+//
+// Check 3: how well the input profile satisfies the "function CFG flow
+// conservation property" of a perfect profile:
+//
+//       A non-entry non-exit basic block's inflow is equal to its outflow.
+//
+// More specifically, for each of the hottest 1000 functions, the pass loops
+// over its basic blocks that are non-entry and non-exit, and for each block
+// obtains a block gap = 1 - MIN(block inflow, block outflow, block call count
+// if any) / MAX(block inflow, block outflow, block call count if any). It then
+// aggregates the block gaps into 2 values for the function: "weighted" is the
+// weighted average of the block conservation gaps, where the weights depend on
+// each block's execution count and instruction count; "worst" is the worst
+// (biggest) block gap acorss all basic blocks in the function with an execution
+// count of > 500. The pass then reports the 95th percentile of the weighted and
+// worst values of the 1000 functions in a single BOLT-INFO line. The smaller
+// the reported values are, the better the BOLT profile satisfies the function
+// CFG flow conservation property.
+//
+// The default value of 1000 above can be changed via the hidden BOLT option
+// `-top-functions-for-profile-quality-check=[N]`.
+// The default reporting of the 95th percentile can be changed via the hidden
+// BOLT option `-percentile-for-profile-quality-check=[M]`.
+//
+// If more detailed stats are needed, `-v=1` can be used: the hottest N
+// functions will be grouped into 5 equally-sized buckets, from the hottest
+// to the coldest; for each bucket, various summary statistics of the
+// profile quality will be reported.
