6875d25465 Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

    well, it's already in the commit message so I won't repeat the
    long list here ;)

d6b9e17eb5 Improved non-statistical (GUPROF) profiling:
- use a more accurate and more efficient method of compensating for
  overheads.  The old method counted too much time against leaf
  functions.
- normally use the Pentium timestamp counter if available.
  On Pentiums, the times are now accurate to within a couple of cpu
  clock cycles per function call in the (unlikely) event that there
  are no cache misses in or caused by the profiling code.
- optionally use an arbitrary Pentium event counter if available.
- optionally regress to using the i8254 counter.
- scaled the i8254 counter by a factor of 128.  Now the i8254 counters
  overflow slightly faster than the TSC counters for a 150MHz Pentium :-)
  (after about 16 seconds).  This is to avoid fractional overheads.

files.i386:
permon.c temporarily has to be classified as a profiling-routine
because a couple of functions in it may be called from profiling code.

options.i386:
- I586_CTR_GUPROF is currently unused (oops).
- I586_PMC_GUPROF should be something like 0x70000 to enable (but not
  use unless prof_machdep.c is changed) support for Pentium event
  counters.  7 is a control mode and the counter number 0 is somewhere
  in the 0000 bits (see perfmon.h for the encoding).

profile.h:
- added declarations.
- cleaned up separation of user mode declarations.

prof_machdep.c:
Mostly clock-select changes.  The default clock can be changed by
editing kmem.  There should be a sysctl for this.

subr_prof.c:
- added copyright.
- calibrate overheads for the new method.
- documented new method.
- fixed races and and machine dependencies in start/stop code.

mcount.c:
Use the new overhead compensation method.

gmon.h:
- changed GPROF4 counter type from unsigned to int.  Oops, this should
  be machine-dependent and/or int32_t.
- reorganized overhead counters.

dadd5f3a95 Added a $Id$ keyword. Bruce still needs to put a copyright notice
on this file.

912e603778 Implemented non-statistical kernel profiling. This is based on
looking at a high resolution clock for each of the following events:
function call, function return, interrupt entry, interrupt exit,
and interesting branches.  The differences between the times of
these events are added at appropriate places in a ordinary histogram
(as if very fast statistical profiling sampled the pc at those
places) so that ordinary gprof can be used to analyze the times.

gmon.h:
Histogram counters need to be 4 bytes for microsecond resolutions.
They will need to be larger for the 586 clock.
The comments were vax-centric and wrong even on vaxes.  Does anyone
disagree?

gprof4.c:
The standard gprof should support counters of all integral sizes
and the size of the counter should be in the gmon header.  This
hack will do until then.  (Use gprof4 -u to examine the results
of non-statistical profiling.)

config/*:
Non-statistical profiling is configured with `config -pp'.
`config -p' still gives ordinary profiling.

kgmon/*:
Non-statistical profiling is enabled with `kgmon -B'.  `kgmon -b'
still enables ordinary profiling (and distables non-statistical
profiling) if non-statistical profiling is configured.
