[PATCH] Compute and emit working set information from gcov-dump (issue6940061)


This patch enables the gcov-dump tool to optionally compute and dump
the working set information from the counter histogram, via a new -w option.
This is useful to help understand and tune how the compiler will use
the counter histogram, since it first computes the working set and selects
thresholds based on that.

This required moving the bulk of the compute_working_sets functionality
into gcov-io.c so that it was accessible by gcov-dump.c.

Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, and tested with various
gcda files. Ok for trunk?

2012-12-14  Teresa Johnson  <tejohnson@google.com>

	* lto-cgraph.c (input_symtab): Replace call to compute_working_sets
        to get_working_sets.
	* gcov-io.c (compute_working_sets): Moved most of body of old
        compute_working_sets here from profile.c.
	* gcov-io.h (NUM_GCOV_WORKING_SETS): Moved here from profile.c.
        (gcov_working_set_t): Moved typedef here from basic-block.h
        (compute_working_set): Declare.
	* profile.c (NUM_GCOV_WORKING_SETS): Moved to gcov-io.h.
	(get_working_sets): Renamed from compute_working_set,
        replace most of body with call to new compute_working_sets.
	(get_exec_counts): Replace call to compute_working_sets
        to get_working_sets.
	* profile.h (get_working_sets): Renamed from
        compute_working_set.
	* basic-block.h (gcov_working_set_t): Moved to gcov-io.h.
	* gcov-dump.c (dump_working_sets): New function.
