Support for Perf Maps
*********************

On supported platforms (as of this writing, only Linux), the runtime
can take advantage of *perf map files* to make Python functions
visible to an external profiling tool (such as perf). A running
process may create a file in the "/tmp" directory, which contains
entries that can map a section of executable code to a name. This
interface is described in the documentation of the Linux Perf tool.

In Python, these helper APIs can be used by libraries and features
that rely on generating machine code on the fly.

Note that holding the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) is not required
for these APIs.

int PyUnstable_PerfMapState_Init(void)

   *Bu Kararsız API. Bu, küçük (minor) sürümlerde uyarı olmadan
   değişebilir.*

   Open the "/tmp/perf-$pid.map" file, unless it's already opened, and
   create a lock to ensure thread-safe writes to the file (provided
   the writes are done through "PyUnstable_WritePerfMapEntry()").
   Normally, there's no need to call this explicitly; just use
   "PyUnstable_WritePerfMapEntry()" and it will initialize the state
   on first call.

   Returns "0" on success, "-1" on failure to create/open the perf map
   file, or "-2" on failure to create a lock. Check "errno" for more
   information about the cause of a failure.

int PyUnstable_WritePerfMapEntry(const void *code_addr, unsigned int code_size, const char *entry_name)

   *Bu Kararsız API. Bu, küçük (minor) sürümlerde uyarı olmadan
   değişebilir.*

   Write one single entry to the "/tmp/perf-$pid.map" file. This
   function is thread safe. Here is what an example entry looks like:

      # address      size  name
      7f3529fcf759 b     py::bar:/run/t.py

   Will call "PyUnstable_PerfMapState_Init()" before writing the
   entry, if the perf map file is not already opened. Returns "0" on
   success, or the same error codes as
   "PyUnstable_PerfMapState_Init()" on failure.

void PyUnstable_PerfMapState_Fini(void)

   *Bu Kararsız API. Bu, küçük (minor) sürümlerde uyarı olmadan
   değişebilir.*

   Close the perf map file opened by "PyUnstable_PerfMapState_Init()".
   This is called by the runtime itself during interpreter shut-down.
   In general, there shouldn't be a reason to explicitly call this,
   except to handle specific scenarios such as forking.
