// Go execution tracer.
// The tracer captures a wide range of execution events like goroutine
// creation/blocking/unblocking, syscall enter/exit/block, GC-related events,
// changes of heap size, processor start/stop, etc and writes them to a buffer
// in a compact form. A precise nanosecond-precision timestamp and a stack
// trace is captured for most events.
//
// Tracer invariants (to keep the synchronization making sense):
// - An m that has a trace buffer must be on either the allm or sched.freem lists.
// - Any trace buffer mutation must either be happening in traceAdvance or between
//   a traceAcquire and a subsequent traceRelease.
// - traceAdvance cannot return until the previous generation's buffers are all flushed.
//
// See https://go.dev/issue/60773 for a link to the full design.

	// Stop the world.
	//
	// The purpose of stopping the world is to make sure that no goroutine is in a
	// context where it could emit an event by bringing all goroutines to a safe point
	// with no opportunity to transition.
	//
	// The exception to this rule are goroutines that are concurrently exiting a syscall.
	// Those will all be forced into the syscalling slow path, and we'll just make sure
	// that we don't observe any goroutines in that critical section before starting
	// the world again.
	//
	// A good follow-up question to this is why stopping the world is necessary at all
	// given that we have traceAcquire and traceRelease. Unfortunately, those only help
	// us when tracing is already active (for performance, so when tracing is off the
	// tracing seqlock is left untouched). The main issue here is subtle: we're going to
	// want to obtain a correct starting status for each goroutine, but there are windows
	// of time in which we could read and emit an incorrect status. Specifically:
	//
	//	trace := traceAcquire()
	//  // <----> problem window
	//	casgstatus(gp, _Gwaiting, _Grunnable)
	//	if trace.ok() {
	//		trace.GoUnpark(gp, 2)
	//		traceRelease(trace)
	//	}
	//
	// More precisely, if we readgstatus for a gp while another goroutine is in the problem
	// window and that goroutine didn't observe that tracing had begun, then we might write
	// a GoStatus(GoWaiting) event for that goroutine, but it won't trace an event marking
	// the transition from GoWaiting to GoRunnable. The trace will then be broken, because
	// future events will be emitted assuming the tracer sees GoRunnable.
	//
	// In short, what we really need here is to make sure that the next time *any goroutine*
	// hits a traceAcquire, it sees that the trace is enabled.
	//
	// Note also that stopping the world is necessary to make sure sweep-related events are
	// coherent. Since the world is stopped and sweeps are non-preemptible, we can never start
	// the world and see an unpaired sweep 'end' event. Other parts of the tracer rely on this.

	//
	// We ensure this is safe by stopping the world, which acts a global barrier on almost
	// every M, and explicitly synchronize with any other Ms that could be running concurrently
	// with us. Today, there are only two such cases:
	// - sysmon, which we synchronized with by acquiring sysmonlock.
	// - goroutines exiting syscalls, which we synchronize with via trace.exitingSyscall.
