+    // Observation 1: On older versions of Ruby, this ownership concept is actually split. Specifically, `gvl.acquired`
+    // is a boolean that represents declaration 1 above, and `vm->running_thread` (or `ruby_current_thread`/
+    // `ruby_current_execution_context_ptr`) represents declaration 2.
+    //
+    // Observation 2: In addition, when a thread releases the GVL, it only sets `gvl.acquired` back to 0 **BUT CRUCIALLY
+    // DOES NOT CHANGE THE OTHER global variables**.
+    //
+    // Observation 1+2 above lead to the following possible race:
+    // * Thread A grabs the GVL (`gvl.acquired == 1`)
+    // * Thread A sets `running_thread` (`gvl.acquired == 1` + `running_thread == Thread A`)

+    // * Thread B finally sets `running_thread` (`gvl.acquired == 1` + `running_thread == Thread B`)

+//   part of rb_thread_t)
+// * Support Ruby < 2.4 by using `RUBY_VM_NORMAL_ISEQ_P(cfp->iseq)` instead of `VM_FRAME_RUBYFRAME_P(cfp)`.
+//   Given that the Ruby 2.3 version of `rb_profile_frames` did not support native methods and thus did not need this
+//   check, how did I figure out what to replace it with? I did it by looking at other places in the VM code where the
+//   code looks exactly the same but Ruby 2.4 uses `VM_FRAME_RUBYFRAME_P` whereas Ruby 2.3 used `RUBY_VM_NORMAL_ISEQ_P`.
+//   Examples of these are `errinfo_place` in `eval.c`, `rb_vm_get_ruby_level_next_cfp` (among others) in `vm.c`, etc.
+// * Skip dummy frame that shows up in main thread
+// * Add `end_cfp == NULL` and `end_cfp <= cfp` safety checks. These are used in a bunch of places in
+//   `vm_backtrace.c` (`backtrace_each`, `backtrace_size`, `rb_ec_partial_backtrace_object`) but are conspicuously
+//   absent from `rb_profile_frames`. Oversight?
+// * Skip frames where `cfp->iseq && !cfp->pc`. These seem to be internal and are skipped by `backtrace_each` in
+//   `vm_backtrace.c`.
+// * Check thread status and do not sample if thread has been killed.
+// * Match Ruby reference stack trace APIs that use the iseq instead of the callable method entry to get information
+//   for iseqs created from calls to `eval` and `instance_eval`. This makes it so that `rb_profile_frame_path` on
+//   the `VALUE` returned by rb_profile_frames returns `(eval)` instead of the path of the file where the `eval`
+//   was called from.
+// * Imported fix from https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/7116 to avoid sampling threads that are still being created
+// * Imported fix from https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/8415 to avoid potential crash when using YJIT.
+//
+// What is rb_profile_frames?
+// `rb_profile_frames` is a Ruby VM debug API added for use by profilers for sampling the stack trace of a Ruby thread.
+// Its main other user is the stackprof profiler: https://github.com/tmm1/stackprof .
+//
+// Why do we need a custom version of rb_profile_frames?
+//
+// There are a few reasons:
+// 1. To backport improved behavior to older Rubies. Prior to Ruby 3.0 (https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3299),
+//    rb_profile_frames skipped CFUNC frames, aka frames that are implemented with native code, and thus the resulting
+//    stacks were quite incomplete as a big part of the Ruby standard library is implemented with native code.
+//
+// 2. To extend this function to work with any thread. The upstream rb_profile_frames function only targets the current
+//    thread, and to support wall-clock profiling we require sampling other threads. This is only safe because of the
+//    Global VM Lock. (We don't yet support sampling Ractors beyond the main one; we'll need to find a way to do it
+//    safely first.)
+//
+// 3. To get more information out of the Ruby VM. The Ruby VM has a lot more information than is exposed through
+//    rb_profile_frames, and by making our own copy of this function we can extract more of this information.
+//    See for backtracie gem (https://github.com/ivoanjo/backtracie) for an exploration of what can potentially be done.
+//
