src: reduce cpu profiler overhead
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Reduce the overhead of the CPU profiler by suppressing SIGPROF signals
when sleeping / polling for events. Avoids unnecessary wakeups when the
CPU profiler is active. Depends on https://github.com/libuv/libuv#15.

For the record, this change triggers a regression in libuv on Linux systems < 2.6.19. The fix is under way, see libuv/libuv#162. The only affected users are (presumably) people that still run CentOS 5.
