38 /* The LD_PROFILE feature has to be implemented different to the
39 normal profiling using the gmon/ functions. The problem is that an
40 arbitrary amount of processes simulataneously can be run using
41 profiling and all write the results in the same file. To provide
42 this mechanism one could implement a complicated mechanism to merge
43 the content of two profiling runs or one could extend the file
44 format to allow more than one data set. For the second solution we
45 would have the problem that the file can grow in size beyond any
46 limit and both solutions have the problem that the concurrency of
47 writing the results is a big problem.
49 Another much simpler method is to use mmap to map the same file in
50 all using programs and modify the data in the mmap'ed area and so
51 also automatically on the disk. Using the MAP_SHARED option of
52 mmap(2) this can be done without big problems in more than one
53 file.
55 This approach is very different from the normal profiling. We have
56 to use the profiling data in exactly the way they are expected to
57 be written to disk. But the normal format used by gprof is not usable
58 to do this. It is optimized for size. It writes the tags as single
59 bytes but this means that the following 32/64 bit values are
60 unaligned.
62 Therefore we use a new format. This will look like this
64 0 1 2 3 <- byte is 32 bit word
65 0000 g m o n
66 0004 *version* <- GMON_SHOBJ_VERSION
67 0008 00 00 00 00
68 000c 00 00 00 00

72 0018 ?? ?? ?? ??
73 ?? ?? ?? ?? <- 32/64 bit LowPC
74 0018+A ?? ?? ?? ??
75 ?? ?? ?? ?? <- 32/64 bit HighPC
76 0018+2*A *histsize*
77 001c+2*A *profrate*
78 0020+2*A s e c o
79 0024+2*A n d s \0
80 0028+2*A \0 \0 \0 \0
81 002c+2*A \0 \0 \0
82 002f+2*A s
84 0030+2*A ?? ?? ?? ?? <- Count data
85 ... ...
86 0030+2*A+K ?? ?? ?? ??
88 0030+2*A+K *tag* <- GMON_TAG_CG_ARC
89 0034+2*A+K *lastused*
90 0038+2*A+K ?? ?? ?? ??
91 ?? ?? ?? ?? <- FromPC#1
92 0038+3*A+K ?? ?? ?? ??
93 ?? ?? ?? ?? <- ToPC#1
94 0038+4*A+K ?? ?? ?? ?? <- Count#1
95 ... ... ...
96 0038+(2*(CN-1)+2)*A+(CN-1)*4+K ?? ?? ?? ??
97 ?? ?? ?? ?? <- FromPC#CGN
98 0038+(2*(CN-1)+3)*A+(CN-1)*4+K ?? ?? ?? ??
99 ?? ?? ?? ?? <- ToPC#CGN
100 0038+(2*CN+2)*A+(CN-1)*4+K ?? ?? ?? ?? <- Count#CGN
102 We put (for now?) no basic block information in the file since this would
103 introduce rase conditions among all the processes who want to write them.
105 `K' is the number of count entries which is computed as
107 textsize / HISTFRACTION
109 `CG' in the above table is the number of call graph arcs. Normally,
110 the table is sparse and the profiling code writes out only the those
111 entries which are really used in the program run. But since we must
112 not extend this table (the profiling file) we'll keep them all here.
113 So CN can be executed in advance as
115 MINARCS <= textsize*(ARCDENSITY/100) <= MAXARCS
117 Now the remaining question is: how to build the data structures we can
118 work with from this data. We need the from set and must associate the
119 froms with all the associated tos. We will do this by constructing this
120 data structures at the program start. To do this we'll simply visit all
121 entries in the call graph table and add it to the appropriate list. */
