The Go's heap profile contains four kinds of samples (inuse_space, inuse_objects, alloc_space, and alloc_objects). The pprof tool by default chooses the inuse_space (the bytes of live, in-use objects). When analyzing the current memory usage the choice of inuse_space as the default may be useful, but in some cases, users are more interested in analyzing the total allocation statistics throughout the program execution. For example, when we analyze the memory profile from benchmark or program test run, we are more likely interested in the whole allocation history than the live heap snapshot at the end of the test or benchmark. The pprof tool provides flags to control which sample type to be used for analysis. However, it is one of the less-known features of pprof and we believe it's better to choose the right type of samples as the default when producing the profile. This CL introduces a new type of profile, "allocs", which is the same as the "heap" profile but marks the alloc_space as the default type unlike heap profiles that use inuse_space as the default type. 'go test -memprofile=...' command is changed to use the new "allocs" profile type instead of the traditional "heap" profile.
