Bruce Evans 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.

* __mcount is like mcount except that doesn't require its caller to set
* up a frame pointer. It must be called before pushing anything onto the
* stack. gcc should eventually generate code to call __mcount in most
* cases. This would make -pg in combination with -fomit-frame-pointer
* useful. gcc has a configuration variable PROFILE_BEFORE_PROLOGUE to
* allow profiling before setting up the frame pointer, but this is
* inadequate for good handling of special cases, e.g., -fpic works best
* with profiling after the prologue.
*
* Neither __mcount nor mcount requires %eax to point to 4 bytes of data,
* so don't waste space allocating the data or time setting it up. Changes
* to avoid the wastage in gcc-2.4.5-compiled code are available.
*
* mexitcount is a new profiling feature to allow accurate timing of all
* functions if an accurate clock is available. Changes to gcc-2.4.5 to
* support it are are available. The changes currently don't allow not
* generating mexitcounts for non-kernel code. It is best to call
* mexitcount right at the end of a function like the MEXITCOUNT macro
* does, but the changes to gcc only implement calling it as the first
* thing in the epilogue to avoid problems with -fpic.
*
* mcount and __mexitcount may clobber the call-used registers and %ef.
* mexitcount may clobber %ecx and %ef.
*
* Cross-jumping makes accurate timing more difficult. It is handled in
* many cases by calling mexitcount before jumping. It is not handled
* for some conditional jumps (e.g., in bcopyx) or for some fault-handling
* jumps. It is handled for some fault-handling jumps by not sharing the
* exit routine.
*
* ALTENTRY() must be before a corresponding ENTRY() so that it can jump to
* the main entry point. Note that alt entries are counted twice. They
* have to be counted as ordinary entries for gprof to get the call times
* right for the ordinary entries.
*
* High local labels are used in macros to avoid clashes with local labels
* in functions.
*
* "ret" is used instead of "RET" because there are a lot of "ret"s.
* 0xc3 is the opcode for "ret" (#define ret ... ret fails because this
* file is preprocessed in traditional mode). "ret" clobbers eflags
* but this doesn't matter.
