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

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