/* The LD_PROFILE feature has to be implemented different to the
   normal profiling using the gmon/ functions.  The problem is that an
   arbitrary amount of processes simulataneously can be run using
   profiling and all write the results in the same file.  To provide
   this mechanism one could implement a complicated mechanism to merge
   the content of two profiling runs or one could extend the file
   format to allow more than one data set.  For the second solution we
   would have the problem that the file can grow in size beyond any
   limit and both solutions have the problem that the concurrency of
   writing the results is a big problem.

   Another much simpler method is to use mmap to map the same file in
   all using programs and modify the data in the mmap'ed area and so
   also automatically on the disk.  Using the MAP_SHARED option of
   mmap(2) this can be done without big problems in more than one
   file.

   This approach is very different from the normal profiling.  We have
   to use the profiling data in exactly the way they are expected to
   be written to disk.  But the normal format used by gprof is not usable
   to do this.  It is optimized for size.  It writes the tags as single
   bytes but this means that the following 32/64 bit values are
   unaligned.

   Therefore we use a new format.  This will look like this

					0  1  2  3	<- byte is 32 bit word
	0000				g  m  o  n
	0004				*version*	<- GMON_SHOBJ_VERSION
	0008				00 00 00 00
	000c				00 00 00 00
	0010				00 00 00 00

	0014				*tag*		<- GMON_TAG_TIME_HIST
	0018				?? ?? ?? ??
					?? ?? ?? ??	<- 32/64 bit LowPC
	0018+A				?? ?? ?? ??
					?? ?? ?? ??	<- 32/64 bit HighPC
	0018+2*A			*histsize*
	001c+2*A			*profrate*
	0020+2*A			s  e  c  o
	0024+2*A			n  d  s  \0
	0028+2*A			\0 \0 \0 \0
	002c+2*A			\0 \0 \0
	002f+2*A			s

	0030+2*A			?? ?? ?? ??	<- Count data
	...				...
	0030+2*A+K			?? ?? ?? ??

	0030+2*A+K			*tag*		<- GMON_TAG_CG_ARC
	0034+2*A+K			*lastused*
	0038+2*A+K			?? ?? ?? ??
					?? ?? ?? ??	<- FromPC#1
	0038+3*A+K			?? ?? ?? ??
					?? ?? ?? ??	<- ToPC#1
	0038+4*A+K			?? ?? ?? ??	<- Count#1
	...				...		   ...
	0038+(2*(CN-1)+2)*A+(CN-1)*4+K	?? ?? ?? ??
					?? ?? ?? ??	<- FromPC#CGN
	0038+(2*(CN-1)+3)*A+(CN-1)*4+K	?? ?? ?? ??
					?? ?? ?? ??	<- ToPC#CGN
	0038+(2*CN+2)*A+(CN-1)*4+K	?? ?? ?? ??	<- Count#CGN

   We put (for now? no basic block information in the file since this would
   introduce rase conditions among all the processes who want to write them.

   `K' is the number of count entries which is computed as

 		textsize / HISTFRACTION

   `CG' in the above table is the number of call graph arcs.  Normally,
   the table is sparse and the profiling code writes out only the those
   entries which are really used in the program run.  But since we must
   not extend this table (the profiling file) we'll keep them all here.
   So CN can be executed in advance as

		MINARCS <= textsize*(ARCDENSITY/100) <= MAXARCS

   Now the remaining question is: how to build the data structures we can
   work with from this data.  We need the from set and must associate the
   froms with all the associated tos.  We will do this by constructing this
   data structures at the program start.  To do this we'll simply visit all
   entries in the call graph table and add it to the appropriate list.  */
