+// 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.
