  36 /* The LD_PROFILE feature has to be implemented different to the
  37    normal profiling using the gmon/ functions.  The problem is that an
  38    arbitrary amount of processes simulataneously can be run using
  39    profiling and all write the results in the same file.  To provide
  40    this mechanism one could implement a complicated mechanism to merge
  41    the content of two profiling runs or one could extend the file
  42    format to allow more than one data set.  For the second solution we
  43    would have the problem that the file can grow in size beyond any
  44    limit and both solutions have the problem that the concurrency of
  45    writing the results is a big problem.
  46
  47    Another much simpler method is to use mmap to map the same file in
  48    all using programs and modify the data in the mmap'ed area and so
  49    also automatically on the disk.  Using the MAP_SHARED option of
  50    mmap(2) this can be done without big problems in more than one
  51    file.
  52
  53    This approach is very different from the normal profiling.  We have
  54    to use the profiling data in exactly the way they are expected to
  55    be written to disk.  But the normal format used by gprof is not usable
  56    to do this.  It is optimized for size.  It writes the tags as single
  57    bytes but this means that the following 32/64 bit values are
  58    unaligned.
  59
  60    Therefore we use a new format.  This will look like this
  61
  62                                         0  1  2  3      <- byte is 32 bit word

 100    We put (for now? no basic block information in the file since this would
 101    introduce rase conditions among all the processes who want to write them.
 102
 103    `K' is the number of count entries which is computed as
 104
 105                 textsize / HISTFRACTION
 106
 107    `CG' in the above table is the number of call graph arcs.  Normally,
 108    the table is sparse and the profiling code writes out only the those
 109    entries which are really used in the program run.  But since we must
 110    not extend this table (the profiling file) we'll keep them all here.
 111    So CN can be executed in advance as
 112
 113                 MINARCS <= textsize*(ARCDENSITY/100) <= MAXARCS
 114
 115    Now the remaining question is: how to build the data structures we can
 116    work with from this data.  We need the from set and must associate the
 117    froms with all the associated tos.  We will do this by constructing this
 118    data structures at the program start.  To do this we'll simply visit all
 119    entries in the call graph table and add it to the appropriate list.  */
