Summary

The executable acquires an advisory record lock (fcntl(fd, F_SETLKW, *)) on a profile file.
Merge pool size >= 10 may be beneficial when the concurrency is large.

Also fix a small problem about snprintf. It can cause the filename to be truncated after %m.

What kind of performance improvement were you able to measure for your workload with n >= 10? What was the impact on profile size?

It has been a while since I measured the difference. If I use LLVM_PROFILE_FILE=...%4m for llc and LLVM_PROFILE_FILE=/dev/null for other tools, %4m vs %9m has significant performance improvement testing test/CodeGen/X86, maybe 30% (I may misremember the number) or something. %9m vs %20m has insignificant difference. If my machine has more cores or if I choose a better benchmark, I may see a difference :)
