TracyProfiler: Use rr-safe nopl; rdtsc sequence#7225
Merged
Conversation
Several users have reported masssive slowdowns to rr record/replay in packages that have the tracy client loaded. The issue turns out to be an unlucky false positive in an rr heuristic that determines the patchability of `rdtsc`. In rr master, it is possible to guarantee patchability by using a specific `nopl; rdtsc` sequence. Add a patch to tracy to do just that. See also rr-debugger/rr#3580 JuliaLang/julia#50975

Like #7225, but for the *other* copy of tracy in yggdrasil (sigh).
