I am looking for special CONSTs that appear either as SET_SRC or as memory addresses in SET_SRC or SET_DEST. If I find a CONST with a specific UNSPEC there which is not hash table yet, I emit some code; the CONST is then replaced with a SYMBOL_REF. Or if you want the more abstract description, I'm shifting the burden of profiling from the callee to the caller, thus saving some time and memory for profiling, and getting acceptable profiling results when the libraries contain only callgraph information instead of actual instrumentation - i.e. we can do profiling without libg.a .
