The trace will then be broken, because // future events will be emitted assuming the tracer sees GoRunnable. // // In short, what we really need here is to make sure that the next time *any goroutine* // hits a traceAcquire, it sees that the trace is enabled. // // Note also that stopping the world is necessary to make sure sweep-related events are // coherent.
