CPUPROFILESIGNAL - Takes a signal number between the value of 1 and 64 inclusive which represents a signal
number as defined by signal.h. The signal must not be in use by the program. Sending this
signal to the program turns profiling on and off like a switch. By default the switch is
off when the program starts. Successive profiles are suffixed with a monotonically increasing
number.

* Better multiple-processor support (e.g. multicore contention tweaks)
* Support for recent kernel ABI changes (e.g. new arg to mremap)
* Addition of spinlocks to tcmalloc to reduce contention cost
* Speed up tcmalloc by using __thread on systems that support TLS
* Total redesign of heap-checker to improve liveness checking
* More portable stack-frame analysis -- no more hard-coded constants!
* Disentangled heap-profiler code and heap-checker code
* Several new unittests to test, e.g., thread-contention costs
* Lots of small (but important!) bug fixes: e.g., fixing GetPC on amd64
*** KNOWN PROBLEMS:
* CPU-profiling may crash on x86_64 (64-bit) systems. See the README
* Profiling/heap-checking may deadlock on x86_64 systems. See README

* Better support for weird /proc maps (maxim, mec)
* Fix heap-checker interaction with gdb (markus)
* Better 64-bit support in pprof (aruns)
* Reduce scavenging cost in tcmalloc by capping NumMoveSize (sanjay)
* Cast syscall(SYS_mmap); works on more 64-bit systems now (menage)
* Document the text output of pprof! (csilvers)
* Better compiler support for no-THREADS and for old compilers (csilvers)

* Decrease fragmentation in tcmalloc (lefevere)
* Support for ARM in some of the thread-specific code (markus)
* Turn off heap-checker for statically-linked binaries, which
cause error leak reports now (etune)
* Many pprof improvements, including a command-line interface (jeff)
* CPU profiling now automatically affects all threads in linux 2.6.
(Kernel bugs break CPU profiling and threads in linux 2.4 a bit.)
ProfilerEnable() and ProfilerDisable() are deprecated. (sanjay)
* tcmalloc now correctly intercepts memalign (m3b, maxim)
* Syntax fix: added missing va_end()s. Helps non-gcc compiling (etune)
* Fixed a few coredumper bugs: race condition after PTRACE_DETACH,
ignore non-aligned stackframe pointers (markus, menage)
* 64-bit cleanup, especially for spinlock code (etune) and mmap (sanjay)
* Better support for finding threads in linux (markus)
* tcmalloc now tracks those stack traces that allocate memory (sanjay)
* Work around a weird setspecific problem (sanjay)
* Fix tcmalloc overflow problems when an alloc is close to 2G/4G (sanjay)

* google-perftools: version 0.2 release
* Use mmap2() instead of mmap(), to map more memory (menage)
* Do correct pthread-local checking in heap-checker! (maxim)
* Avoid overflow on 64-bit machines in pprof (sanjay)
* Add a few more GetPC() functions, including for AMD (csilvers)
* Better method for overriding pthread functions (menage)
* (Hacky) fix to avoid overwriting profile files after fork() (csilvers)
* Crashing bugfix involving dumping heaps on small-stack threads (tudor)
* Allow library versions with letters at the end (csilvers)
* Config fixes for systems that don't define PATH_MAX (csilvers)
* Confix fixes so we no longer need config.h after install (csilvers)
* Fix to pprof to correctly read very big cpu profiles (csilvers)
* Fix to pprof to deal with new commandline flags in modern gv's
* Better error reporting when we can't access /proc/maps (etune)
* Get rid of the libc-preallocate code (which could crash on some
systems); no longer needed with local-threads fix (csilvers)

* google-perftools: initial release:
The google-perftools package contains some utilities to improve
and analyze the performance of C++ programs. This includes an
optimized thread-caching malloc() and cpu and heap profiling
utilities.
