+// Used to trigger sampling of threads, based on external "events", such as:
+// * periodic timer for cpu-time and wall-time
+// * VM garbage collection events
+// * VM object allocation events
+//
+// This file implements the native bits of the Datadog::Profiling::Collectors::ThreadContext class
+//
+// Triggering of this component (e.g. watching for the above "events") is implemented by Collectors::CpuAndWallTimeWorker.
+
+// ---
+// ## Tracking of cpu-time and wall-time spent during garbage collection
+//
+// This feature works by having a special state that a thread can be in: doing garbage collection. This state is
+// tracked inside the thread's `per_thread_context.gc_tracking` data, and three functions, listed below. The functions
+// will get called by the `Collectors::CpuAndWallTimeWorker` at very specific times in the VM lifetime.
+//
+// * `thread_context_collector_on_gc_start`: Called at the very beginning of the garbage collection process.
+//   The internal VM `during_gc` flag is set to `true`, but Ruby has not done any work yet.
+// * `thread_context_collector_on_gc_finish`: Called at the very end of the garbage collection process.
+//   The internal VM `during_gc` flag is still set to `true`, but all the work has been done.
+// * `thread_context_collector_sample_after_gc`: Called shortly after the garbage collection process.
+//   The internal VM `during_gc` flag is set to `false`.
+//
+// Inside this component, here's what happens inside those three functions:
+//
+// When `thread_context_collector_on_gc_start` gets called, the current cpu and wall-time get recorded to the thread
+// context: `cpu_time_at_gc_start_ns` and `wall_time_at_gc_start_ns`.
+//
+// While these fields are set, regular samples (if any) do not account for any time that passes after these two
+// timestamps.
+//
+// (Regular samples can still account for the time between the previous sample and the start of GC.)
+//
+// When `thread_context_collector_on_gc_finish` gets called, the current cpu and wall-time again get recorded to the
+// thread context: `cpu_time_at_gc_finish_ns` and `wall_time_at_gc_finish_ns`.
+//
+// Finally, when `thread_context_collector_sample_after_gc` gets called, the following happens:
+//
+// 1. A sample gets taken, using the special `SAMPLE_IN_GC` sample type, which produces a stack with a placeholder
+// `Garbage Collection` frame as the latest frame. This sample gets assigned the cpu-time and wall-time period that was
+// recorded between calls to `on_gc_start` and `on_gc_finish`.
+//
+// 2. The thread is no longer marked as being in gc (all gc tracking fields get reset back to `INVALID_TIME`).
+//
+// 3. The `cpu_time_at_previous_sample_ns` and `wall_time_at_previous_sample_ns` get updated with the elapsed time in
+// GC, so that all time is accounted for -- e.g. the next sample will not get "blamed" by time spent in GC.
+//
+// In an earlier attempt at implementing this functionality (https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-rb/pull/2308), we
+// discovered that we needed to factor the sampling work away from `thread_context_collector_on_gc_finish` and into a
+// separate `thread_context_collector_sample_after_gc` because (as documented in more detail below),
+// `sample_after_gc` could trigger memory allocation in rare occasions (usually exceptions), which is actually not
+// allowed to happen during Ruby's garbage collection start/finish hooks.
