// Sampler to decide when to create a sample trace for an allocation
// Not thread safe: Each thread should have it's own sampler object.
// Caller must use external synchronization if used
// from multiple threads.
//
// With 512K average sample step (the default):
//  the probability of sampling a 4K allocation is about 0.00778
//  the probability of sampling a 1MB allocation is about 0.865
//  the probability of sampling a 1GB allocation is about 1.00000
// In general, the probablity of sampling is an allocation of size X
// given a flag value of Y (default 1M) is:
//  1 - e^(-X/Y)
//
// With 128K average sample step:
//  the probability of sampling a 1MB allocation is about 0.99966
//  the probability of sampling a 1GB allocation is about 1.0
//  (about 1 - 2**(-26))
// With 1M average sample step:
//  the probability of sampling a 4K allocation is about 0.00390
//  the probability of sampling a 1MB allocation is about 0.632
//  the probability of sampling a 1GB allocation is about 1.0
//
// The sampler works by representing memory as a long stream from
// which allocations are taken. Some of the bytes in this stream are
// marked and if an allocation includes a marked byte then it is
// sampled. Bytes are marked according to a Poisson point process
// with each byte being marked independently with probability
// p = 1/tcmalloc_sample_parameter.  This makes the probability
// of sampling an allocation of X bytes equal to the CDF of
// a geometric with mean tcmalloc_sample_parameter. (ie. the
// probability that at least one byte in the range is marked). This
// is accurately given by the CDF of the corresponding exponential
// distribution : 1 - e^(X/tcmalloc_sample_parameter_)
// Independence of the byte marking ensures independence of
// the sampling of each allocation.
//
// This scheme is implemented by noting that, starting from any
// fixed place, the number of bytes until the next marked byte
// is geometrically distributed. This number is recorded as
// bytes_until_sample_.  Every allocation subtracts from this
// number until it is less than 0. When this happens the current
// allocation is sampled.
//
// When an allocation occurs, bytes_until_sample_ is reset to
// a new independtly sampled geometric number of bytes. The
// memoryless property of the point process means that this may
// be taken as the number of bytes after the end of the current
// allocation until the next marked byte. This ensures that
// very large allocations which would intersect many marked bytes
// only result in a single call to PickNextSamplingPoint.
