Nazım Can Altınova 1a45365811 Bug 1458246 - Use Shmem to pass the profiler data to be able to send large profiler data r=mstange
We were using nsCString to pass the profiler data between processes. But it was
failing to send because there is a ~256MB limit for the string data. So we
changed it to use Shmem instead. Shmem creates a shared memory and passes the
weak reference. With it, we can send larger data without having a problem.
