+ Porting to other platforms
+
+ ... is easy. Just create an mcount.S in the $ARCH
+ directory (eg. dietlibc/i386) which includes a
+ function (called "mcount") that:
+
+ 1.) saves ALL registers that are freely usable
+ and which might be used by __mcount().
+ 2.) loads the instruction pointer (PC) from the
+ function that called mcount, and the function
+ which called the function, that called mcount
+ into the first two argument registers (or push
+ them on the stack - depending on the processor-
+ architecture).
+ 3.) call __mcount.
+ 4.) restore the registers saved in 1)
+
+ Then You need a macro called PC in <asm/sigcontext.h>
+ which extracts the (instruction pointer / program
+ counter) from a sigcontext structure (eg. on i386 this
+ would be ctx.eip).
+
+ $ARCH/start.S must also be modified to call monitor
+ with the offset of .text and _etext as parameters.

+
+ Notes on profiling support for dietlibc
+
+ 1.) A big problem when doing profiling on statically linked
+ programs, is that the internal profiling functions (mcount
+ and friends) will be included in the call graph although
+ they would not if the program would have been dynamically
+ linked. This is because every symbol between .text and
+ _etext is included in the call-graph. If a program is
+ dynamically linked, then mcount and friends are not between
+ .text and _etext, so they are not included. A workaround
+ for this, would be to put mcount, __mcount, monitor and
+ profiler into another section (eg. ".profile"), but this
+ creates some strange problems, I'm currently not aware of.
+ If you want to debug this: Putting a function into a specific
+ section works like this (with gcc):
+
+ void foo (int bar) __attribute__ ((section(".foobar")))
+
+ 2.) _start may randomly be found in the callgraph. I don't
+ know why. May be a bug in gprof.
+
+ 3.) The profiling is a complete rewrite, though I looked at
+ the glibc Version for inspiration. Please note that this
+ version might not be as portable as the glibc version but
+ its much smaller (although this is not a really important
+ argument, as profiled binaries seldom get shipped) and
+ hopefully easier to understand.
+
+ 4.) all objects that should be profiled mustn't be compiled
+ with -fomit-frame-pointer (as with glibc). Add
+ -fno-fomit-frame-pointer to $CFLAGS if you're encountering
+ weird problems.
+
+ 5.) There is currently no basic-block statistic support.
+
