Computing block profile weights
...ect a bit of feedback from
the community before trying it out.
1) Instead of relying on a function's *entry count*, store the *total
number of samples* in a function. This number is readily available from the
profile loader.
2) Compute a block's weight as `function_samples * block_weight /
sum_of_block_weights_in_function`
Why do I like this?
- Total samples in a function gives a good impression of the importance of
a function, better than the entry count.
- This scheme "preserves mass" in that all samples of a function are taken
into account. The samples in a BB are compared to samples in the entire...
