Right now ThreadStackHelper uses SIGPROF which conflicts with the built-in profiler. We should switch to a real-time signal, which AFAIK is supported on all recent Linux versions.
Depends on: 1032996
Switching to using real-time signal lets us resolve conflicts with the profiler and organize our code better.
