// This file defines the classes ProfilingStack and ProfilingStackFrame.
// The ProfilingStack manages an array of ProfilingStackFrames.
// It keeps track of the "label stack" and the JS interpreter stack.
// The two stack types are interleaved.
//
// Usage:
//
//  ProfilingStack* profilingStack = ...;
//
//  // For label frames:
//  profilingStack->pushLabelFrame(...);
//  // Execute some code. When finished, pop the frame:
//  profilingStack->pop();
//
//  // For JS stack frames:
//  profilingStack->pushJSFrame(...);
//  // Execute some code. When finished, pop the frame:
//  profilingStack->pop();
//
//
// Concurrency considerations
//
// A thread's profiling stack (and the frames inside it) is only modified by
// that thread. However, the profiling stack can be *read* by a different
// thread, the sampler thread: Whenever the profiler wants to sample a given
// thread A, the following happens:
//  (1) Thread A is suspended.
//  (2) The sampler thread (thread S) reads the ProfilingStack of thread A,
//      including all ProfilingStackFrames that are currently in that stack
//      (profilingStack->frames[0..profilingStack->stackSize()]).
//  (3) Thread A is resumed.
//
// Thread suspension is achieved using platform-specific APIs; refer to each
// platform's Sampler::SuspendAndSampleAndResumeThread implementation in
// platform-*.cpp for details.
//
// When the thread is suspended, the values in profilingStack->stackPointer and
// in the stack frame range
// profilingStack->frames[0..profilingStack->stackPointer] need to be in a
// consistent state, so that thread S does not read partially- constructed stack
// frames. More specifically, we have two requirements:
//  (1) When adding a new frame at the top of the stack, its ProfilingStackFrame
//      data needs to be put in place *before* the stackPointer is incremented,
//      and the compiler + CPU need to know that this order matters.
//  (2) When popping an frame from the stack and then preparing the
//      ProfilingStackFrame data for the next frame that is about to be pushed,
//      the decrement of the stackPointer in pop() needs to happen *before* the
//      ProfilingStackFrame for the new frame is being popuplated, and the
//      compiler + CPU need to know that this order matters.
//
// We can express the relevance of these orderings in multiple ways.
// Option A is to make stackPointer an atomic with SequentiallyConsistent
// memory ordering. This would ensure that no writes in thread A would be
// reordered across any writes to stackPointer, which satisfies requirements
// (1) and (2) at the same time. Option A is the simplest.
// Option B is to use ReleaseAcquire memory ordering both for writes to
// stackPointer *and* for writes to ProfilingStackFrame fields. Release-stores
// ensure that all writes that happened *before this write in program order* are
// not reordered to happen after this write. ReleaseAcquire ordering places no
// requirements on the ordering of writes that happen *after* this write in
// program order.
// Using release-stores for writes to stackPointer expresses requirement (1),
// and using release-stores for writes to the ProfilingStackFrame fields
// expresses requirement (2).
//
// Option B is more complicated than option A, but has much better performance
// on x86/64: In a microbenchmark run on a Macbook Pro from 2017, switching
// from option A to option B reduced the overhead of pushing+popping a
// ProfilingStackFrame by 10 nanoseconds.
// On x86/64, release-stores require no explicit hardware barriers or lock
// instructions.
// On ARM/64, option B may be slower than option A, because the compiler will
// generate hardware barriers for every single release-store instead of just
// for the writes to stackPointer. However, the actual performance impact of
// this has not yet been measured on ARM, so we're currently using option B
// everywhere. This is something that we may want to change in the future once
// we've done measurements.
