 * This module manages the cpu profile timers and the associated interrupt
 * handler. When enabled, all registered threads in the program are profiled.
 * (Note: if using linux 2.4 or earlier, you must use the Thread class, in
 * google3/thread, to ensure all threads are profiled.)
 *
 * Any component interested in receiving a profile timer interrupt can do so by
 * registering a callback. All registered callbacks must be async-signal-safe.
 *
 * Note: This module requires the sole ownership of ITIMER_PROF timer and the
 * SIGPROF signal.

 * Callback function to be used with ProfilefHandlerRegisterCallback. This
 * function will be called in the context of SIGPROF signal handler and must
 * be async-signal-safe. The first three arguments are the values provided by
 * the SIGPROF signal handler. We use void* to avoid using ucontext_t on
 * non-POSIX systems.
 *
 * Requirements:
 * - Callback must be async-signal-safe.
 * - None of the functions in ProfileHandler are async-signal-safe. Therefore,
 *   callback function *must* not call any of the ProfileHandler functions.
 * - Callback is not required to be re-entrant. At most one instance of
 *   callback can run at a time.
 *
 * Notes:
 * - The SIGPROF signal handler saves and restores errno, so the callback
 *   doesn't need to.
 * - Callback code *must* not acquire lock(s) to serialize access to data shared
 *   with the code outside the signal handler (callback must be
 *   async-signal-safe). If such a serialization is needed, follow the model
 *   used by profiler.cc:
 *
 *   When code other than the signal handler modifies the shared data it must:
 *   - Acquire lock.
 *   - Unregister the callback with the ProfileHandler.
 *   - Modify shared data.
 *   - Re-register the callback.
 *   - Release lock.
 *   and the callback code gets a lockless, read-write access to the data.
