5 // Tool to log the execution of the process (Chrome). Writes logs containing
6 // time and address of the callback being called for the first time.
7 //
8 // For performance reasons logs are buffered. Every thread has its own buffer
9 // and log file so the contention between threads is minimal. As a side-effect,
10 // functions called might be mentioned in many thread logs.
12 // A special thread is created in the process to periodically flush logs for all
13 // threads in case the thread had stopped before flushing its logs.
15 // Also note that the instrumentation code is self-activated. It begins to
16 // record the log data when it is called first, including the run-time startup.
17 // Have it in mind when modifying it, in particular do not use global objects
18 // with constructors as they are called during startup (too late for us).

36 // This is only supported on Android thanks to the fact that on Android
37 // processes (other than the system's zygote) don't fork.
39 // To make cygprofile truly work (i.e. without any deadlock) on Chrome
40 // platforms that use fork(), cygprofile.cc should be written in a way that
41 // guarantees that:
42 // - No lock is acquired by a foreign thread during fork(). In particular this
43 // means that cygprofile.cc should not perform any heap allocation (since heap
44 // allocators, including TCMalloc generally use locks).
45 // - Only cygprofile.cc uses pthread_atfork() in the whole process. Unlike POSIX
46 // signals, pthread_atfork() doesn't provide a way to install multiple handlers.
47 // Calling pthread_atfork() in cygprofile.cc would override any handler that
48 // could have been installed previously.
50 // Chrome happens to violate the first requirement at least once by having its
51 // process launcher thread fork. However the child process in that case, when
52 // it's not instrumented with cygprofile, directly calls exec(). This is safe
53 // since the child process doesn't try to release a lock acquired by another
54 // thread in the parent process which would lead to a deadlock. This problem was
55 // actually observed by trying to port the current version of cygprofile.cc to
56 // Linux.
