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.
Fixed panics for events on nonexistent ports.
Fixed devconf class initialization and devconf state tracking.

we can see if it's a small distance beyond the end, or way out. This may
give some clues as to whether it is being caused by something coalescing
the transfers in spite of the bounce buffers, or simply because of buffer
corruption. (The BT driver seems to occasionally get hit by from this too,
except that it does not trap the transfer, and the system panics later
with vm_bounce_page_free.) This "event" usually happens to me during a
savecore (on the rare occasion that a kernel coredump is actually taken
after a crash - the lack of kernel core dumps is another problem...).

Deprecated blkclr (removed it).
Removed some old cruft from cpufunc.h.
The optimized bzero was submitted by Torbjorn Granlund <tege@matematik.su.se>
The kernel adaption and other changes by me.

bcopy:
Be smarter about handling overlapped copies and only go backwards if it
is really necessary. Going backwards on a P6 is much slower than forwards
and it's a little slower on a P5. Also moved the count mask and 'std'
down a few lines - it's a couple percent faster this way on a P5.
int shmget(key_t key, int size, int shmflg);
If the 'key' has already existed in the system and set 'shmflg'
as '(IPC_CREAT|IPC_EXC)', then shmget() must return the error 'EEXIST'.

libkern.a are now specified by listing their source files in
files.${MACHINE}. The list is machine-dependent to save space.
All the necessary object for each machine must be linked into the
kernel in case an lkm wants one.
See the comments for addupc_intr() and the NetBSD implementation.
We use dummy versions of fuswintr() and susiwintr(), so addupc_intr()
always pushes the work to trap() (this is inefficient), and trap()
calls the special i386 function addupc() instead of addupc_task().
addupc() is more efficient than addupc_intr(), so some of the lost
efficiency is recovered. However, addupc() may be broken on plain
i386's since it doesn't check for write permission like copyout().
feature of the ICU. auto-EOI on the slave is not safe, however, so it
remains an option. Killed religious FASTER_NOP when writing the ICU.
