// Notes:
//
// The ThreadInterrupter interrupts all threads actively running isolates once
// per interrupt period (default is 1 millisecond). While the thread is
// interrupted, the thread's interrupt callback is invoked. Callbacks cannot
// rely on being executed on the interrupted thread.
//
// There are two mechanisms used to interrupt a thread. The first, used on Linux
// and Android, is SIGPROF. The second, used on Windows, Fuchsia, Mac and iOS,
// is explicit suspend and resume thread system calls. (Although Mac supports
// SIGPROF, when the process is attached to lldb, it becomes unusably slow, and
// signal masking is unreliable across fork-exec.) Signal delivery forbids
// taking locks and allocating memory (which takes a lock). Explicit suspend and
// resume means that the interrupt callback will not be executing on the
// interrupted thread, making it meaningless to access TLS from within the
// thread interrupt callback. Combining these limitations, thread interrupt
// callbacks are forbidden from:
//
//   * Accessing TLS.
//   * Allocating memory.
//   * Taking a lock.
//
// The ThreadInterrupter has a single monitor (monitor_). This monitor is used
// to synchronize startup, shutdown, and waking up from a deep sleep.
//
