// StackSamplingProfiler periodically stops a thread to sample its stack, for
// the purpose of collecting information about which code paths are
// executing. This information is used in aggregate by UMA to identify hot
// and/or janky code paths.
//
// Sample StackSamplingProfiler usage:
//
//   // Create and customize params as desired.
//   base::StackStackSamplingProfiler::SamplingParams params;
//   // Any thread's ID may be passed as the target.
//   base::StackSamplingProfiler profiler(base::PlatformThread::CurrentId()),
//       params);
//
//   // Or, to process the profiles within Chrome rather than via UMA, use a
//   // custom completed callback:
//   base::StackStackSamplingProfiler::CompletedCallback
//       thread_safe_callback = ...;
//   base::StackSamplingProfiler profiler(base::PlatformThread::CurrentId()),
//       params, thread_safe_callback);
//
//   profiler.Start();
//   // ... work being done on the target thread here ...
//   profiler.Stop();  // optional, stops collection before complete per params
//
// The default SamplingParams causes stacks to be recorded in a single burst at
// a 10Hz interval for a total of 30 seconds. All of these parameters may be
// altered as desired.
//
// When all call stack profiles are complete, or the profiler is stopped, the
// completed callback is called from a thread created by the profiler with the
// collected profiles.
//
// The results of the profiling are passed to the completed callback and consist
// of a vector of CallStackProfiles. Each CallStackProfile corresponds to a
// burst as specified in SamplingParams and contains a set of Samples and
// Modules. One Sample corresponds to a single recorded stack, and the Modules
// record those modules associated with the recorded stack frames.
