wallprecheck is a ddprof-only native argument with no equivalent in the legacy async-profiler engine, so profiling.async.wall.precheck never corresponded to real behavior.

What Does This Do
Adds TaskBlock instrumentation for NIO
Selector.selectand Netty epoll event-loop blocking, following the same pattern established for LockSupport (#11545) and Thread.sleep (#11546). Includes:nio-selectandnetty-epoll-4.1instrumentation modulesNioSelectTaskBlockProfilingTest,NettyEpollTaskBlockProfilingTest) asserting on resulting TaskBlock recordingsNativeIoTaskBlockProfilingTest)This is stacked on #11546 (Thread.sleep), #11545 (LockSupport), and #11544 (foundational TaskBlock support), and should be reviewed/merged in that order.
Motivation
Selector-based I/O waits and Netty's epoll event loop are common sources of off-CPU time that for now show up only as generic sampled wall-clock frames. Emitting structured
datadog.TaskBlockevents for these operations, as already done for locks and sleeps, gives users accurate attribution of NIO and Netty event-loop blocking without relying solely on stack sampling.Additional Notes
.gitlab-ci.yml) updated to build/track the correspondingjava-profilerTaskBlock branch changes needed for this coverage.Contributor Checklist
