馃摐 Description

馃挕 Motivation and Context

Collecting stacks for idle threads produces this kind of data, where we have a stack that just shows the thread waiting on a function like mach_msg_trap. Instead of collecting these stacks, we can just log an empty sample, which will prevent it from rendering in the flamegraph.

CleanShot 2022-07-27 at 16 57 00@2x

This also fixes a bug in iOS 12 where we would repeatedly fail to suspend an idle thread, which broke some tests (#2000). With this new implementation we won't attempt to suspend an idle thread.

馃挌 How did you test it?

  • Run existing tests for SentrySamplingProfiler
  • Re-enable LaunchUITests and verify that they pass

馃摑 Checklist

  • I reviewed the submitted code
  • I added tests to verify the changes
  • I updated the docs if needed
  • Review from the native team if needed
  • No breaking changes

The failures in testStartTransaction_ProfilingDataIsValid are fixed in #2015 which I will merge before this change.
