42 /* The LD_PROFILE feature has to be implemented different to the
43 normal profiling using the gmon/ functions. The problem is that an
44 arbitrary amount of processes simulataneously can be run using
45 profiling and all write the results in the same file. To provide
46 this mechanism one could implement a complicated mechanism to merge
47 the content of two profiling runs or one could extend the file
48 format to allow more than one data set. For the second solution we
49 would have the problem that the file can grow in size beyond any
50 limit and both solutions have the problem that the concurrency of
51 writing the results is a big problem.
53 Another much simpler method is to use mmap to map the same file in
54 all using programs and modify the data in the mmap'ed area and so
55 also automatically on the disk. Using the MAP_SHARED option of
56 mmap(2) this can be done without big problems in more than one
57 file.
59 This approach is very different from the normal profiling. We have
60 to use the profiling data in exactly the way they are expected to
61 be written to disk. But the normal format used by gprof is not usable
62 to do this. It is optimized for size. It writes the tags as single
63 bytes but this means that the following 32/64 bit values are
64 unaligned.
66 Therefore we use a new format. This will look like this
68 0 1 2 3 <- byte is 32 bit word
69 0000 g m o n

103 ?? ?? ?? ?? <- ToPC#CGN
104 0038+(2*CN+2)*A+(CN-1)*4+K ?? ?? ?? ?? <- Count#CGN
106 We put (for now?) no basic block information in the file since this would
107 introduce rase conditions among all the processes who want to write them.
109 `K' is the number of count entries which is computed as
111 textsize / HISTFRACTION
113 `CG' in the above table is the number of call graph arcs. Normally,
114 the table is sparse and the profiling code writes out only the those
115 entries which are really used in the program run. But since we must
116 not extend this table (the profiling file) we'll keep them all here.
117 So CN can be executed in advance as
119 MINARCS <= textsize*(ARCDENSITY/100) <= MAXARCS
121 Now the remaining question is: how to build the data structures we can
122 work with from this data. We need the from set and must associate the
123 froms with all the associated tos. We will do this by constructing this
124 data structures at the program start. To do this we'll simply visit all
125 entries in the call graph table and add it to the appropriate list. */
