            Bug ID: 27882
           Summary: libprofile: allocateOneNode() can overflow
                    CurrentVNode
           Product: compiler-rt
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: compiler-rt

In allocateOneNode(), we increment CurrentVNode without first checking if it's
greater than EndVnode. This could eventually cause CurrentVNode to overflow and
return a bad vnode:

106   Node = COMPILER_RT_PTR_FETCH_ADD(ValueProfNode, CurrentVNode, 1);         
107   if (Node >= EndVNode) {                                                   
108     if (OutOfNodesWarnings++ < MAX_VP_WARNS) {                              
109       PROF_WARN("Unable to track new values: %s. "                          
110                 " Consider using option -mllvm -vp-counters-per-site=<n> to
allocate more"
111                 " value profile counters at compile time. \n",              
112                 "Running out of static counters");                          
113     }                                                                       
114     return 0;                                                               
115   }                                                                         
116   return Node;

Sean suggested limiting increments of CurrentVNode to #threads past EndVNode.

Another option is to attempt to CmpExchange CurrentVnode to its next value
while (CurrentVNode + 1 < EndVNode). We'd return if the CmpExchange succeeds.
If the loop exits we'd return NULL.
