to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
This change builds upon D54989, which removes memory allocation from the
critical path of the profiling implementation. This also changes the API
for the profile collection service, to take ownership of the memory and
associated data structures per-thread.
The consolidation of the memory allocation allows us to do two things:
- Limits the amount of memory used by the profiling implementation,
associating preallocated buffers instead of allocating memory
on-demand.
- Consolidate the memory initialisation and cleanup by relying on the
buffer queue's reference counting implementation.
We find a number of places which also display some problematic
behaviour, including:
- Off-by-factor bug in the allocator implementation.
- Unrolling semantics in cases of "memory exhausted" situations, when
managing the state of the function call trie.
We also add a few test cases which verify our understanding of the
behaviour of the system, with important edge-cases (especially for
memory-exhausted cases) in the segmented array and profile collector
unit tests.
Depends on D54989.

Summary:
This change simplifies the XRay Allocator implementation to self-manage
an mmap'ed memory segment instead of using the internal allocator
implementation in sanitizer_common.
We've found through benchmarks and profiling these benchmarks in D48879
that using the internal allocator in sanitizer_common introduces a
bottleneck on allocating memory through a central spinlock. This change
allows thread-local allocators to eliminate contention on the
centralized allocator.
To get the most benefit from this approach, we also use a managed
allocator for the chunk elements used by the segmented array
implementation. This gives us the chance to amortize the cost of
allocating memory when creating these internal segmented array data
structures.
We also took the opportunity to remove the preallocation argument from
the allocator API, simplifying the usage of the allocator throughout the
profiling implementation.
In this change we also tweak some of the flag values to reduce the
amount of maximum memory we use/need for each thread, when requesting
memory through mmap.
Depends on D48956.

Summary:
This is part of the larger XRay Profiling Mode effort.
This patch implements the profile writing mechanism, to allow profiles
collected through the profiler mode to be persisted to files.
Follow-on patches would allow us to load these profiles and start
converting/analysing them through the `llvm-xray` tool.
Depends on D44620.

Summary:
This is part of the larger XRay Profiling Mode effort.
This patch implements the wiring required to enable us to actually
select the `xray-profiling` mode, and install the handlers to start
measuring the time and frequency of the function calls in call stacks.
The current way to get the profile information is by working with the
XRay API to `__xray_process_buffers(...)`.
In subsequent changes we'll implement profile saving to files, similar
to how the FDR and basic modes operate, as well as means for converting
this format into those that can be loaded/visualised as flame graphs. We
will also be extending the accounting tool in LLVM to support
stack-based function call accounting.
We also continue with the implementation to support building small
histograms of latencies for the `FunctionCallTrie::Node` type, to allow
us to actually approximate the distribution of latencies per function.
Depends on D45758 and D46998.
