+Subject: [PATCH] [rocprofiler-sdk] don't auto-start OMPT tool before glog is
+ initialized
+
+The OpenMP runtime resolves its weak ompt_start_tool to the strong symbol we
+export and calls it during OpenMP init. That can fire from an unrelated
+library's constructor (observed: OpenBLAS calling omp_get_num_places) while
+librocprofiler-sdk is still being dlopen'd. init_logging() then dereferences
+glog's gflags FLAGS_vmodule, whose backing pointer is still null until glog's
+static initializers run, and the process segfaults on `import torch`.
+
+The init order is not reliably fixable from here: a dependency cycle among the
+ROCm libraries makes the loader run our constructors before libglog's, so a
+flag set by our own constructor does not imply glog is ready. Instead gate the
+tool start on glog itself, by testing whether gflags has populated FLAGS_vmodule
+yet; reading the raw pointer is safe even before construction. It is read via an
+asm label because the gflags header only exposes it as a reference, which the
+compiler assumes is never null. Declining (nullptr) when glog is not yet ready
+is a valid OMPT "no tool" response; deliberate profiling (rocprofv3 preloads the
+tool early, before such constructors) is unaffected.
