// This is an internal header file used by profiler.cc.  It defines
// the single (inline) function GetPC.  GetPC is used in a signal
// handler to figure out the instruction that was being executed when
// the signal-handler was triggered.
//
// To get this, we use the ucontext_t argument to the signal-handler
// callback, which holds the full context of what was going on when
// the signal triggered.  How to get from a ucontext_t to a Program
// Counter is OS-dependent.

// Take the example where function Foo() calls function Bar().  For
// many architectures, Bar() is responsible for setting up and tearing
// down its own stack frame.  In that case, it's possible for the
// interrupt to happen when execution is in Bar(), but the stack frame
// is not properly set up (either before it's done being set up, or
// after it's been torn down but before Bar() returns).  In those
// cases, the stack trace cannot see the caller function anymore.
//
// GetPC can try to identify this situation, on architectures where it
// might occur, and unwind the current function call in that case to
// avoid false edges in the profile graph (that is, edges that appear
// to show a call skipping over a function).  To do this, we hard-code
// in the asm instructions we might see when setting up or tearing
// down a stack frame.
//
// This is difficult to get right: the instructions depend on the
// processor, the compiler ABI, and even the optimization level.  This
// is a best effort patch -- if we fail to detect such a situation, or
// mess up the PC, nothing happens; the returned PC is not used for
// any further processing.

  // not that easy as taking an offset to step one instruction back!
