// We shadow every cache line of app memory with one shadow byte.
// - The highest bit of each shadow byte indicates whether the corresponding
//   cache line has ever been accessed.
// - The lowest bit of each shadow byte indicates whether the corresponding
//   cache line was accessed since the last sample.
// - The other bits are used for working set snapshots at successively
//   lower frequencies, each bit to the left from the lowest bit stepping
//   down the frequency by 2 to the power of getFlags()->snapshot_step.
// Thus we have something like this:
//   Bit 0: Since last sample
//   Bit 1: Since last 2^2 samples
//   Bit 2: Since last 2^4 samples
//   Bit 3: ...
//   Bit 7: Ever accessed.
// We live with races in accessing each shadow byte.
