> If we start a recording on an already running process we have a race here where a new thread can create and set its timer before we call init_timers() where the signal handler is installed. In that case the program will terminate with message “Profiling timer expired" (default action for SIGPROF). It can be easily reproduced by adding a delay here and starting a recording on a simple test that just creates new threads. We need to add some extra check in create_timer_for_thread() or install the signal handler earlier.
I created a `has_timer` flag that is checked by `create_timer_for_thread()` before creating timers and set by `init_timers`. Is this what you envisioned?
