LLVM uses profiling data that's deliberately similar to GCC, but has a
very different way of exporting that data. LLVM calls llvm_gcov_init()
once per module, and provides a couple of callbacks that we can use to
ask for more data.
We care about the "writeout" callback, which in turn calls back into
compiler-rt/this module to dump all the gathered coverage data to disk:
llvm_gcda_start_file()
llvm_gcda_emit_function()
llvm_gcda_emit_arcs()
llvm_gcda_emit_function()
llvm_gcda_emit_arcs()
[... repeats for each function ...]
llvm_gcda_summary_info()
llvm_gcda_end_file()
This design is much more stateless and unstructured than gcc's, and is
intended to run at process exit. This forces us to keep some local
state about which module we're dealing with at the moment. On the other
hand, it also means we don't depend as much on how LLVM represents
profiling data internally.
See LLVM's lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/GCOVProfiling.cpp for more
details on how this works, particularly GCOVProfiler::emitProfileArcs(),
GCOVProfiler::insertCounterWriteout(), and GCOVProfiler::insertFlush().

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
