//
// Text format
// -----------
//
// Sample profiles are written as ASCII text. The file is divided into
// sections, which correspond to each of the functions executed at runtime.
// Each section has the following format
//
//     function1:total_samples:total_head_samples
//      offset1[.discriminator]: number_of_samples [fn1:num fn2:num ... ]
//      offset2[.discriminator]: number_of_samples [fn3:num fn4:num ... ]
//      ...
//      offsetN[.discriminator]: number_of_samples [fn5:num fn6:num ... ]
//      offsetA[.discriminator]: fnA:num_of_total_samples
//       offsetA1[.discriminator]: number_of_samples [fn7:num fn8:num ... ]
//       ...
//
// This is a nested tree in which the identation represents the nesting level
// of the inline stack. There are no blank lines in the file. And the spacing
// within a single line is fixed. Additional spaces will result in an error
// while reading the file.
//
// Any line starting with the '#' character is completely ignored.
//
// Inlined calls are represented with indentation. The Inline stack is a
// stack of source locations in which the top of the stack represents the
// leaf function, and the bottom of the stack represents the actual
// symbol to which the instruction belongs.
//
// Function names must be mangled in order for the profile loader to
// match them in the current translation unit. The two numbers in the
// function header specify how many total samples were accumulated in the
// function (first number), and the total number of samples accumulated
// in the prologue of the function (second number). This head sample
// count provides an indicator of how frequently the function is invoked.
//
// There are two types of lines in the function body.
//
// * Sampled line represents the profile information of a source location.
// * Callsite line represents the profile information of a callsite.
//
// Each sampled line may contain several items. Some are optional (marked
// below):
//
// a. Source line offset. This number represents the line number
//    in the function where the sample was collected. The line number is
//    always relative to the line where symbol of the function is
//    defined. So, if the function has its header at line 280, the offset
//    13 is at line 293 in the file.
//
//    Note that this offset should never be a negative number. This could
//    happen in cases like macros. The debug machinery will register the
//    line number at the point of macro expansion. So, if the macro was
//    expanded in a line before the start of the function, the profile
//    converter should emit a 0 as the offset (this means that the optimizers
//    will not be able to associate a meaningful weight to the instructions
//    in the macro).
//
// b. [OPTIONAL] Discriminator. This is used if the sampled program
//    was compiled with DWARF discriminator support
//    (http://wiki.dwarfstd.org/index.php?title=Path_Discriminators).
//    DWARF discriminators are unsigned integer values that allow the
//    compiler to distinguish between multiple execution paths on the
//    same source line location.
//
//    For example, consider the line of code ``if (cond) foo(); else bar();``.
//    If the predicate ``cond`` is true 80% of the time, then the edge
//    into function ``foo`` should be considered to be taken most of the
//    time. But both calls to ``foo`` and ``bar`` are at the same source
//    line, so a sample count at that line is not sufficient. The
//    compiler needs to know which part of that line is taken more
//    frequently.
//
//    This is what discriminators provide. In this case, the calls to
//    ``foo`` and ``bar`` will be at the same line, but will have
//    different discriminator values. This allows the compiler to correctly
//    set edge weights into ``foo`` and ``bar``.
//
// c. Number of samples. This is an integer quantity representing the
//    number of samples collected by the profiler at this source
//    location.
//
// d. [OPTIONAL] Potential call targets and samples. If present, this
//    line contains a call instruction. This models both direct and
//    number of samples. For example,
//
//      130: 7  foo:3  bar:2  baz:7
//
//    The above means that at relative line offset 130 there is a call
//    instruction that calls one of ``foo()``, ``bar()`` and ``baz()``,
//    with ``baz()`` being the relatively more frequently called target.
//
// Each callsite line may contain several items. Some are optional.
//
// a. Source line offset. This number represents the line number of the
//    callsite that is inlined in the profiled binary.
//
// b. [OPTIONAL] Discriminator. Same as the discriminator for sampled line.
//
// c. Number of samples. This is an integer quantity representing the
//    total number of samples collected for the inlined instance at this
//    callsite
//
//
// Binary format
// -------------
//
// This is a more compact encoding. Numbers are encoded as ULEB128 values
// and all strings are encoded in a name table. The file is organized in
// the following sections:
//
// MAGIC (uint64_t)
//    File identifier computed by function SPMagic() (0x5350524f463432ff)
//
// VERSION (uint32_t)
//    File format version number computed by SPVersion()
//
// SUMMARY
//    TOTAL_COUNT (uint64_t)
//        Total number of samples in the profile.
//    MAX_COUNT (uint64_t)
//        Maximum value of samples on a line.
//    MAX_FUNCTION_COUNT (uint64_t)
//        Maximum number of samples at function entry (head samples).
//    NUM_COUNTS (uint64_t)
//        Number of lines with samples.
//    NUM_FUNCTIONS (uint64_t)
//        Number of functions with samples.
//    NUM_DETAILED_SUMMARY_ENTRIES (size_t)
//        Number of entries in detailed summary
//    DETAILED_SUMMARY
//        A list of detailed summary entry. Each entry consists of
//        CUTOFF (uint32_t)
//            Required percentile of total sample count expressed as a fraction
//            multiplied by 1000000.
//        MIN_COUNT (uint64_t)
//            The minimum number of samples required to reach the target
//            CUTOFF.
//        NUM_COUNTS (uint64_t)
//            Number of samples to get to the desrired percentile.
//
// NAME TABLE
//    SIZE (uint32_t)
//        Number of entries in the name table.
//    NAMES
//        A NUL-separated list of SIZE strings.
//
// FUNCTION BODY (one for each uninlined function body present in the profile)
//    HEAD_SAMPLES (uint64_t) [only for top-level functions]
//        Total number of samples collected at the head (prologue) of the
//        function.
//        NOTE: This field should only be present for top-level functions
//              (i.e., not inlined into any caller). Inlined function calls
//              have no prologue, so they don't need this.
//    NAME_IDX (uint32_t)
//        Index into the name table indicating the function name.
//    SAMPLES (uint64_t)
//        Total number of samples collected in this function.
//    NRECS (uint32_t)
//        Total number of sampling records this function's profile.
//    BODY RECORDS
//        A list of NRECS entries. Each entry contains:
//          OFFSET (uint32_t)
//            Line offset from the start of the function.
//          DISCRIMINATOR (uint32_t)
//            Discriminator value (see description of discriminators
//            in the text format documentation above).
//          SAMPLES (uint64_t)
//            Number of samples collected at this location.
//          NUM_CALLS (uint32_t)
//            Number of non-inlined function calls made at this location. In the
//            case of direct calls, this number will always be 1. For indirect
//            calls (virtual functions and function pointers) this will
//            represent all the actual functions called at runtime.
//          CALL_TARGETS
//            A list of NUM_CALLS entries for each called function:
//               NAME_IDX (uint32_t)
//                  Index into the name table with the callee name.
//               SAMPLES (uint64_t)
//                  Number of samples collected at the call site.
//    NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS (uint32_t)
//      Number of callees inlined into this function.
//    INLINED FUNCTION RECORDS
//      A list of NUM_INLINED_FUNCTIONS entries describing each of the inlined
//      callees.
//        OFFSET (uint32_t)
//          Line offset from the start of the function.
//        DISCRIMINATOR (uint32_t)
//          Discriminator value (see description of discriminators
//          in the text format documentation above).
//        FUNCTION BODY
//          A FUNCTION BODY entry describing the inlined function.
