FWIW I like the idea, but could this be a private field within class
timer, rather than a global?  I moved the global state relating to
timevars into a "class timer" in r223092 (the jit uses this, via a
followup: r226530: in theory different threads can have different timer
instances [1]).

I see that all of the accesses are within timer:: methods.  Maybe
"m_current_phase" or somesuch?

[1] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/jit/topics/performance.html#the-timi
ng-api
and there's a TV_JIT_ACQUIRING_MUTEX which a thread uses for time spent
waiting to acquire the big jit mutex (which guards e.g. the g_timer
singleton pointer.  Within toplev and below, g_timer is the single
"live" instance of class timer, but there can be multiple threads each
with timer instances waiting to call into toplev via gcc_jit_context_co
mpile, if that makes sense).
