Conceptually, we insert HPC ticks into the bytecode similar to how we insert breakpoints. HPC and breakpoints do not share the same tick array but we use a separate tick-array for hpc/breakpoint ticks during bytecode generation. We teach the bytecode interpreter to handle hpc ticks. The implementation is quite trivial, simply increment the counter in the global hpc_ticks array for the respective module. This hpc_ticks array is generated as part of the `CStub`, so we can rely on it existing. A tricky bit is "registering" a bytecode object for HPC instrumentation. In the compiled case, this is achieved via CStub and initializer/finalizers `.init` sections which are called when the executable is run. After the initializers have been invoked, which is before `hs_init_ghc`, we then call `startup_hpc` in `hs_init_ghc` iff any modules were "registered" for hpc instrumentation via `hs_hpc_module`. Since bytecode objects are loaded after starting up GHCi, this workflow doesn't work for supporting `hpc` and the `hpc` run-time is never started, even if a module is added for instrumentation. We fix this issue by employing the same technique as is for `SptEntry`s: * We introduce a new field to `CompiledByteCode`, called `ByteCodeHpcInfo` which contains enough information to call `hs_hpc_module`, allowing us to register the module for `hpc` instrumentation`. * After registering the module, we unconditionally call `startupHpc`, to make sure the .tix file is written. Calling `startupHpc` multiple times is safe. Calling `hs_hpc_module` multiple times for the same module is also safe. If we didn't register the hpc module in this way, evaluating a bytecode object instrumented with `-fhpc` without registering it in the `hpc` run-time will simply not generate any `.tix` files for this bytecode object. However, this shouldn't happen if everything is set up correctly.
