Description

After running gvfs mount, there's a default.profraw file created in the current working directory, with no content (0 bytes).
After running gvfs unmount, it gets some binary content written into it.

If the command is run inside the /src folder, the file litters the repository and shows up in git status and the like.

As far as I can tell, this is an LLVM profiler file.

Research direction

Reproduce gvfs mount and gvfs unmount from a repository directory and confirm when default.profraw is created and populated. Trace the command's LLVM profiling configuration; done when these commands no longer leave a profiler file in the current working directory.
