This patch revises the way coverage counter data writing takes place to avoid problems where useful counter data (for user-written functions) is skipped in favor of counter data from stdlib functions that are executed "late in the game", during the counter writing process itself. Reading counter values from a running "--coverpkg=all" program is an inherently racy operation; while the the code that scans the coverage counter segment is reading values, the program is still executing, potentially updating those values, and updates can include execution of previously un-executed functions. The existing counter data writing code was using a two-pass model (initial sweep over the counter segment to count live functions, second sweep to actually write data), and wasn't properly accounting for the fact that the second pass could see more functions than the first. In the bug in question, the first pass discovered an initial set of 1240 functions, but by the time the second pass kicked in, several additional new functions were also live. The second pass scanned the counter segment again to write out exactly 1240 functions, but since some of the counters for the newly executed functions were earlier in the segment (due to linker layout quirks) than the user's selected function, the sweep terminated before writing out counters for the function of interest. The fix rewrites the counter data file encoder to make a single sweep over the counter segment instead of using a two-pass scheme. Fixes #59563.
