From: Sergei Trofimovich <siarh...@google.com> TOPN metrics are histograms that contain overall count and per-bucket count. Overall count can be negative when two profiles merge and some of per-bucket metrics are disacarded.
Noticed as an ICE on python PGO build where gcc crashes as: during IPA pass: modref a.c:36:1: ICE: in stream_out_histogram_value, at value-prof.cc:340 36 | } | ^ stream_out_histogram_value(output_block*, histogram_value_t*) gcc/value-prof.cc:340 gcc/ChangeLog: PR gcov-profile/105282 * value-prof.cc (stream_out_histogram_value): Allow negative counts on HIST_TYPE_INDIR_CALL.
