+// CPU profiling.
+// Based on algorithms and data structures used in
+// http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/.
+//
+// The main difference between this code and the google-perftools
+// code is that this code is written to allow copying the profile data
+// to an arbitrary io.Writer, while the google-perftools code always
+// writes to an operating system file.
+//
+// The signal handler for the profiling clock tick adds a new stack trace
+// to a hash table tracking counts for recent traces. Most clock ticks
+// hit in the cache. In the event of a cache miss, an entry must be
+// evicted from the hash table, copied to a log that will eventually be
+// written as profile data. The google-perftools code flushed the
+// log itself during the signal handler. This code cannot do that, because
+// the io.Writer might block or need system calls or locks that are not
+// safe to use from within the signal handler. Instead, we split the log
+// into two halves and let the signal handler fill one half while a goroutine
+// is writing out the other half. When the signal handler fills its half, it
+// offers to swap with the goroutine. If the writer is not done with its half,
+// we lose the stack trace for this clock tick (and record that loss).
+// The goroutine interacts with the signal handler by calling getprofile() to
+// get the next log piece to write, implicitly handing back the last log
+// piece it obtained.
+//
+// The state of this dance between the signal handler and the goroutine
+// is encoded in the Profile.handoff field. If handoff == 0, then the goroutine
+// is not using either log half and is waiting (or will soon be waiting) for
+// a new piece by calling notesleep(&p->wait). If the signal handler
+// changes handoff from 0 to non-zero, it must call notewakeup(&p->wait)
+// to wake the goroutine. The value indicates the number of entries in the
+// log half being handed off. The goroutine leaves the non-zero value in
+// place until it has finished processing the log half and then flips the number
+// back to zero. Setting the high bit in handoff means that the profiling is over,
+// and the goroutine is now in charge of flushing the data left in the hash table
+// to the log and returning that data.
+//
+// The handoff field is manipulated using atomic operations.
+// For the most part, the manipulation of handoff is orderly: if handoff == 0
+// then the signal handler owns it and can change it to non-zero.
+// If handoff != 0 then the goroutine owns it and can change it to zero.
+// If that were the end of the story then we would not need to manipulate
+// handoff using atomic operations. The operations are needed, however,
+// in order to let the log closer set the high bit to indicate "EOF" safely
+// in the situation when normally the goroutine "owns" handoff.
