 For example, if the function foo() calls bar(), when the bar() function calls
 mcount(), the arguments mcount() will pass to the tracer are:
         "frompc" - the address bar() will use to return to foo()
-        "selfpc" - the address bar() (with _mcount() size adjustment)
+        "selfpc" - the address bar() (with mcount() size adjustment)
 
 Also keep in mind that this mcount function will be called *a lot*, so
 optimizing for the default case of no tracer will help the smooth running of
 your system when tracing is disabled.  So the start of the mcount function is
