the loop that invokes the static constructors. That makes it safe
to link c++rt0.o into any shared library, even one that does not
have any static constructors. Formerly, doing that would cause a
bus error. If the library has no static constructors, __CTOR_LIST__
comes out as a simple 4-byte COMMON region, and it does not have
the usual NULL word that terminates the list of constructors. This
caused the old code to "call" a garbage address via the non-existent
entry __CTOR_LIST__[1].
The analogous code that invokes the static destructors was already safe.
This change is fully backward-compatible.

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.

via mmap() up around the shared library area. Previously the directory
was allocated from space from it's own memory pool. Because of the way it
was being extended on processes with large malloced data segments (ie: inn)
once the page directory was extended for some reason, it was not possible
to lower the heap size any more to return pages to the OS.
(If my understanding is correct, page directory expansion occurs at 4MB,
12MB, 20MB, 28MB, etc.) I was seeing INN allocate a large amount of short
term memory, pushing it over the 28MB mark, and once it's transient demands
hit 28MB, it never freed it's pages and swap space again.)
I've been running this in my libc for about a month...
Also, seperate MALLOC_STATS from EXTRA_SANITY.. I found it useful to call
malloc_dump() from within INN from a ctlinnd command to see where the hell
all the memory was going.. :-) I've left MALLOC_STATS enabled, as it has
no run-time or data storage cost.
