Windows is getting [dtrace support](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Kernel-Internals/DTrace-on-Windows/ba-p/362902), so if you try this out please let us know how it goes :D

**Note**: If you're using lld on Linux, you must use the `--no-rosegment` flag. Otherwise perf will not be able to generate accurate stack traces ([explanation](https://crbug.com/919499#c16)). For example

```toml
[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
linker = "/usr/bin/clang"
rustflags = ["-Clink-arg=-fuse-ld=lld", "-Clink-arg=-Wl,--no-rosegment"]
```
