If you send a SIGUSR2 to the zuul-server process, Zuul will dump a stack
trace for each running thread into its debug log. This is useful for
tracking down deadlock or otherwise slow threads.
When `yappi <https://code.google.com/p/yappi/>`_ (Yet Another Python
Profiler) is available, additional functions' and threads' stats are
emitted as well. The first SIGUSR2 will enable yappi, on the second
SIGUSR2 it dumps the information collected, resets all yappi state and
stops profiling. This is to minimize the impact of yappi on a running
system.
