in 1993 in rev.1.5 of the i386 a.out version (csu/i386/crt0.c). Profiling uses a magic label "eprol" to delimit the start of the part of the text section covered by profiling. This label must be placed before the call to main() to get main() properly profiled. It was placed there in rev.1.1 of crt0.c. Rev.1.5 imported the initial implementation of shared libraries in FreeBSD and misplaced the label. Fortunately, the misplaced label was misspelled and the old label wasn't removed, so the new label had no effect. Unfortunately, when profiling was implemented for the ELF in 1998 in rev.1.2 of csu/i386-elf/crt1.c, only the incorrectly placed label was copied (after fixing its name). The bug was then copied to all other arches. The label seems to be still misplaced in NetBSD for most arches. It is in common.c for most arches so it is even further from being inside the function that calls main(). I think "eprol" is short for "end of prologue", but it must be placed before the end of the prologue so that it covers main(). crt0.c has it before the calls atexit(_mcleanup) and monstartup(...), but it cannot affect these calls so I moved it after the call to monstartup(). It now also covers the call to _init() but not the newer call to _init_tls(). Profiling of _init() seems to be harmless, and the call to _init_tls() seems to be misplaced.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
