APS5_ENABLE_TRACY=ON builds the Tracy 0.14.1 client from the new
3rdparty/tracy submodule as a shared library next to the patched
libraries. Every PerformanceTimer scope of libSceAgcDriver and
libSceVideoOut becomes a Tracy zone, each presented flip ends a frame,
and the queue workers and the presenter name their threads. The client
listens only on localhost and records only while a profiler is
connected; sampling, system tracing, call stacks, code transfer and its
crash handler are off. Without the option nothing of Tracy is compiled.
On MinGW the client is built without thread_local destructors and with
TRACY_DELAYED_INIT, because emulated TLS frees thread_local objects
before their destructors run; a thread's event producer then stays
alive until the process exits instead of being destroyed on freed
memory.
The zlib in the tree (libjpeg-turbo's) is built with NO_GZIP, so
deflateInit2 refuses the gzip wrapper (windowBits 31) and no trace was
written. The trace file now writes the gzip header, a raw deflate stream,
and the CRC-32 and size trailer itself. The writer's result line is flushed,
since stderr is buffered in a title process. The file writing moves to
TraceFile, and a test inflates a written file and checks its CRC-32 and
size.

APS5_TRACE_FRAMES=<start>:<count> (or APS5_TRACE_SECONDS=<start>:<length>)
records every PerformanceTimer scope and stage of the queue workers and the
presenter inside the window as complete events, named after their frame
timing keys, into a preallocated buffer per thread. Slices under 20 us are
counted per thread instead of written; a full buffer stops that thread and
sets trace_dropped. When the window closes, a ProfileOutput writer thread
writes aps5-trace-<commit>-<pid>.json.gz and appends one line to
aps5-summary.jsonl. Without either switch a PerformanceTimer costs one more
predictable branch.

APS5_SAMPLE_WORKER=<file> now also writes <file stem>.collapsed.txt: one
"frame;...;frame count" line per distinct stack of queue worker 0, root
first, frames as module+0xRVA, which speedscope.app and flamegraph.pl
open. Walks go up to 64 frames, and nothing allocates while the worker is
suspended.
The libraries are built with -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables, so most of
their functions have no .pdata entry, only a DWARF record in .ehfram, and a
walk ended at the first such frame. The worker's walk now steps those
frames through their record, with the CIE/FDE decoding and the call frame
instructions of libc's unwinder, which move from Unwind.cpp into its
header unchanged. A module is indexed after the worker resumes, the first
time a walk meets it, and every register the step restores is read inside
the worker's stack. The process sampler (APS5_SAMPLE_THREADS) keeps its 12
frames through .pdata.

The title-module variants of sceKernelGetModuleList and
sceKernelGetModuleInfo, following shadPS4: the list leaves out system
libraries and the info call answers EPERM for one. A system library is
a loaded .prx image that is not a relinked title module.
NHL 27 (PPSA34063) imports both and fails to load without them.

The kernel #2081 matches stores each pattern dword with
buffer_store_format_x, so what lands in memory depends on the output
descriptor's FORMAT (bits 12-18 of user[3]). Only 32_UINT, 32_SINT and
32_FLOAT (20-22) store the dword unchanged. Other formats convert it,
and an 8- or 16-bit one writes 1 or 2 bytes of every 4-byte element, so
a buffer fill would also overwrite the bytes in between. Such a dispatch
now goes to the recompiler.
