> Documentation on the MethodData object incorrectly states that it is used when profiling in tiers 0 and 1, when it only does so for tier 0 (Interpreter), while tier 1 (Fully optimizing C1) does not collect any profile data at all. Additionally, the description for the different execution tiers is slightly misleading, as it seems to imply that MethodData is used in tier 3 as well, when profiling with C1 is done through ciMethodData instead. This cleanup attempts to slightly better clarify how profiling is tied together between the Interpreter and C1, explain what MDO is an abbreviation for (MethodData object), and corrects the documentation for MethodData as well.
