// CPU profiling.
//
// The signal handler for the profiling clock tick adds a new stack trace
// to a log of recent traces. The log is read by a user goroutine that
// turns it into formatted profile data. If the reader does not keep up
// with the log, those writes will be recorded as a count of lost records.
// The actual profile buffer is in profbuf.go.
