Introduce new bootstrap config section for PGO configuration by Kobzol · Pull Request #158912 · rust-lang/rust

Kobzol · 2026-07-07T14:15:59Z

The handling of PGO profiles in bootstrap was a bit messy, we had CLI flags, but those were hardcoded only for rustc and LLVM, and also a separate rust.profile-use/profile-generate options, though I'm not sure if anyone ever used them.

I wanted to generalize this a bit, to allow experimenting with PGO optimizing also other parts of the toolchain (e.g. rustdoc, clippy, cargo). This PR introduces a new [pgo] section in the bootstrap config, which allows specifying PGO profiles using the config file, currently for rustc and LLVM.

It can be also set through the command-line using e.g. --set pgo.rustc.use=/tmp/foo.
