/* We implement our own profiling scheme so that we can determine
   things like which Lisp functions are occupying the most time.  Any
   standard OS-provided profiling works on C functions, which is
   somewhat useless.

   The basic idea is simple.  We set a profiling timer using setitimer
   (ITIMER_PROF), which generates a SIGPROF every so often.  (This
   runs not in real time but rather when the process is executing or
   the system is running on behalf of the process.) When the signal
   goes off, we see what we're in, and add 1 to the count associated
   with that function.

   It would be nice to use the Lisp allocation mechanism etc. to keep
   track of the profiling information, but we can't because that's not
   safe, and trying to make it safe would be much more work than it's
   worth.


   Jan 1998: In addition to this, I have added code to remember call
   counts of Lisp funcalls.  The profile_increase_call_count()
   function is called from Ffuncall(), and serves to add data to
   Vcall_count_profile_table.  This mechanism is much simpler and
   independent of the SIGPROF-driven one.  It uses the Lisp allocation
   mechanism normally, since it is not called from a handler.  It may
   even be useful to provide a way to turn on only one profiling
   mechanism, but I haven't done so yet.  --hniksic */
