# 296373 04-Mar-2016 marius

- Copy stable/10@296371 to releng/10.3 in preparation for 10.3-RC1
builds.
- Update newvers.sh to reflect RC1.
- Update __FreeBSD_version to reflect 10.3.
- Update default pkg(8) configuration to use the quarterly branch.

# 246783 14-Feb-2013 charnier

rework old-style functions prototypes
reduce WARNS=6 output


# 216370 11-Dec-2010 joel

Remove the advertising clause from UCB copyrighted files in usr.bin. This
is in accordance with the information provided at
ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change

Also add $FreeBSD$ to a few files to keep svn happy.

Discussed with: imp, rwatson


# 151055 07-Oct-2005 bde

Improve printing of self times in the flat profile for functions that
appear to be never called:

(1) If a function is never called according to its call count but it
must have been called because its child time is nonzero, then print
it in the flat profile. Previously, if its call count was zero
then we only printed it in the flat profile if its self time was
nonzero.

(2) If a function has a zero call count but has a nonzero self or child
time, then print its total self time in the self time per call
column as a percentage of the total (self + child) time. It is
not possible to print the times per call in this case because the
call count is zero. Previously, this was handled by leaving both
per-call columns blank. The self time is printed in another column
but there was no way to recover the total time.

(1) partially fixes the case of the "never called" function main() and
prepares for (2) to apply to main() and other functions. Profiling
of main() was lost in the conversion from a.out to ELF, so main()'s
call count has always been zero for many years; then in the common
case where main() is a tiny function, it gets no profiling ticks, so
main() was completely lost in the flat profile.

(2) improves mainly cases like kernel threads. Most kernel threads
appear to be never called because they are always started before
userland can run to turn on profiling. As for main(), the fact that
they are called is not very interesting and their callers are
uninteresting, but their relative self time is interesting since they
are long-running.

Almost always printing percentages in the per-call columns would be
more useful than almost always printing 0.0ms. 0.1ms is now a long
time, so only very large functions take that long per call. The accuracy
per call can approach 1-10 nsec provided programs are run for about
100000 times as long as is necessary to get this accuracy with high
resolution kernel profiling.


# 129657 24-May-2004 stefanf

Include <string.h> for prototypes of various string functions.

Approved by: das (mentor)


# 105243 16-Oct-2002 charnier

Remove done() which was just exit() so use of warn()/err() can be made. Abort
on allocation failure instead of displaying a warning and deferencing NULL
pointer after. Spelling. Add prototypes. Add list of option in synopsis section
of man page, -d is not referenced because available as a compile option. It
should be made a runtime option btw.


# 99112 30-Jun-2002 obrien

Consistently use FBSDID


# 97631 30-May-2002 wollman

Fix preprocessor directive syntax (text after #endif).
The style of this program is still atrocious (not fixed).


# 91735 06-Mar-2002 bde

Fixed some misspellings of 2 as sizeof(UNIT) so that they won't break
things when sizeof(UNIT) becomes a runtime parameter. The relevant 2
is the one in profil(2)'s scaling of pc's to bucket numbers:

bucket = (pc - offset) / 2 * profil_scale / 65536

gprof(1) must duplicate this scaling, bug for bug compatibly, so it
must first do an integer division by 2 although this mainly makes
scales larger than 65536 useless. sizeof(UNIT) was already wrong in
gprof4, but there were no problems because the fake profil scale is a
multiple of 2.

There are also some rounding bugs in the scaling, but these are only
problems if profil(2) is used directly to create unusual (and not
useful) scales.


# 91018 21-Feb-2002 bde

Fixed printf format errors. In printgprof.c, also convert the scale
without possibly losing lots of precision, and print the scale using
%g instead of %d in case it is non-integral. %g might not be the best
format for this.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 27313 10-Jul-1997 charnier

Use err(3).


# 16227 08-Jun-1996 bde

Print times/call in ns if hz >= 10e7. hz will be this large for high
resolution profiling on Pentiums. On a 100MHz Pentium, the resolution
is at best 10 ns and actually a few hundred ns, but units of 10's or
100's of ns would be inconvenient and the current units of 1 us are a
bit too coarse.


# 8874 30-May-1995 rgrimes

Remove trailing whitespace.


# 2513 05-Sep-1994 bde

New flag -u to suppress functions whose name does not begin with an
underscore. Use it to avoid seeing badsw when profiling the kernel.

Print times more accurately (e.g. usec in %8.0f format instead of
msec in %8.2f format for averages) if hz >= 10000. This should have
no effect now since profhz is only 1024.


# 1591 27-May-1994 rgrimes

This commit was generated by cvs2svn to compensate for changes in r1590,
which included commits to RCS files with non-trunk default branches.
