There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looking pretty good! Thank you!
I'm not 100% sure how the CMake will work out, but I'm happy to accept things as-is. I think there might be value in revealing the source file through a variable; that way I can include this cmake in order to find the sourcefile, then add my own linker stuff (for instance, setting a runpath and giving it a wrapper library with suitably exposed symbols).
But again, I don't know and I'll have to play around with it to see how everything fits together. I can easily infer the source location based on other hints, so my comment here is probably non-actionable.
The rest still looks good.

**What does this PR do?** This PR adds support for the libdatadog crash tracker feature (off by default). The crash tracker works by detecting when the Ruby VM reaches a segmentation fault, reporting the crash information as a last profile before the VM dies. All of the interesting work is in <DataDog/libdatadog#282>, this PR basically just wires things up. **Motivation:** This will be a useful tool when debugging VM crashes. **Additional Notes:** I'm opening this PR as a draft as the libdatadog support has not yet landed/been released. Also, there's a few open questions on: * fork handling * when to shut down **How to test the change?** (You'll need to build <<DataDog/libdatadog#282> until the crash tracker gets included in a libdatadog release) To test the crash tracker with an actual crash, try running the following on Ruby 2.6: ```bash $ DD_PROFILING_ENABLED=true DD_PROFILING_EXPERIMENTAL_CRASH_TRACKING_ENABLED=true DD_TRACE_DEBUG=true bundle exec ddtracerb exec ruby -e 'Process.detach(fork { exit! }).instance_variable_get(:@foo)' ``` This should also work in the future but right now it doesn't work correctly; still looking into why: ```bash $ DD_PROFILING_ENABLED=true DD_PROFILING_EXPERIMENTAL_CRASH_TRACKING_ENABLED=true DD_TRACE_DEBUG=true bundle exec ddtracerb exec ruby -e 'Process.kill("SEGV", Process.pid)' ```

What does this PR do?
This module implements a crash tracker that enables libdatadog using profilers to send crash-reports to the datadog backend.
It has three related parts:
A
CrashInfostruct which stores information about a crash in a structured format, and has built-in functions to upload itself to the datadog backend.This struct can be generated by the crash-handlers described below (e.g. for python or Ruby), or by language runtime tools from a crash dump (e.g. .Net).
A UNIX crash-handler, which registers signal handlers to detect crashes.
The legal operations within a crash-handler are limited, so the handler does as much out of process as possible.
When a crash occurs, this handler collects relevant information, and puts it on a pipe to the receiver, which processes it out of process.
A binary application
libdatadog-crashtracking-receiver, which receives the crash-report over a pipe and formats it for transmission to the backend.Motivation
Currently, if crashes occur in profiling code, there is no notification until we get a support ticket. Learning early will enable us to close the loop to faster customer resolution.
Additional Notes
There are a number of open TODOs: see the README.md
How to test the change?
Run the test in profiling/crashtracker/api
