/*
* Define a mechanism to allow global "counters".
*
* Counters can be used count interesting activity that does not fit
* the "region and data" model, such as code called from many
* different regions and/or where you want to count a number of items,
* but don't have control of when the last item will be processed,
* such as counter the number of calls to `lstat()`.
*
* Counters differ from Trace2 "data" events. Data events are emitted
* immediately and are appropriate for documenting loop counters at
* the end of a region, for example. Counter values are accumulated
* during the program and final counter values are emitted at program
* exit.
*
* To make this model efficient, we define a compile-time fixed set of
* counters and counter ids using a fixed size "counter block" array
* in thread-local storage. This gives us constant time, lock-free
* access to each counter within each thread. This lets us avoid the
* complexities of dynamically allocating a counter and sharing that
* definition with other threads.
*
* Each thread uses the counter block in its thread-local storage to
* increment partial sums for each counter (without locking). When a
* thread exits, those partial sums are (under lock) added to the
* global final sum.
*
* Partial sums for each counter are optionally emitted when a thread
* exits.
*
* Final sums for each counter are emitted between the "exit" and
* "atexit" events.
*
* A parallel "counter metadata" table contains the "category" and
* "name" fields for each counter. This eliminates the need to
* include those args in the various counter APIs.
