Make profiling work with multiple capabilities (+RTS -N)
This means that both time and heap profiling work for parallel
programs. Main internal changes:
- CCCS is no longer a global variable; it is now another
pseudo-register in the StgRegTable struct. Thus every
Capability has its own CCCS.
- There is a new built-in CCS called "IDLE", which records ticks for
Capabilities in the idle state. If you profile a single-threaded
program with +RTS -N2, you'll see about 50% of time in "IDLE".
- There is appropriate locking in rts/Profiling.c to protect the
shared cost-centre-stack data structures.
This patch does enough to get it working, I have cut one big corner:
the cost-centre-stack data structure is still shared amongst all
Capabilities, which means that multiple Capabilities will race when
updating the "allocations" and "entries" fields of a CCS. Not only
does this give unpredictable results, but it runs very slowly due to
cache line bouncing.
It is strongly recommended that you use -fno-prof-count-entries to
disable the "entries" count when profiling parallel programs. (I shall
add a note to this effect to the docs).
