When dealing with JS, however, the + * profiler needs integration with the engine because otherwise it is very + * difficult to figure out what javascript is executing. + * + * The current method of integration with the profiler is a form of + * instrumentation: every time a JS function is entered, a bit of information + * is pushed onto a stack that the profiler owns and maintains. This + * information is then popped at the end of the JS function. The profiler + * informs the JS engine of this stack at runtime, and it can by turned on/off + * dynamically. Each stack frame has type ProfilingStackFrame. + * + * Throughout execution, the size of the stack recorded in memory may exceed the + * maximum. The JS engine will not write any information past the maximum limit, + * but it will still maintain the size of the stack. Profiler code is aware of + * this and iterates the stack accordingly. + * + * There is some information pushed on the profiler stack for every JS function + * that is entered. First is a char* label with a description of what function + * was entered. Currently this string is of the form "function (file:line)" if + * there's a function name, or just "file:line" if there's no function name + * available. The other bit of information is the relevant C++ (native) stack + * pointer. This stack pointer is what enables the interleaving of the C++ and + * the JS stack. Finally, throughout execution of the function, some extra + * information may be updated on the ProfilingStackFrame structure. + * + * = Profile Strings + * + * The profile strings' allocations and deallocation must be carefully + * maintained, and ideally at a very low overhead cost. For this reason, the JS + * engine maintains a mapping of all known profile strings. These strings are + * keyed in lookup by a JSScript*, but are serialized with a JSFunction*, + * JSScript* pair. A JSScript will destroy its corresponding profile string when + * the script is finalized. + * + * For this reason, a char* pointer pushed on the profiler stack is valid only + * while it is on the profiler stack. The profiler uses sampling to read off + * information from this instrumented stack, and it therefore copies the string + * byte for byte when a JS function is encountered during sampling. + * + * = Native Stack Pointer + * + * The actual value pushed as the native pointer is nullptr for most JS + * functions. The reason for this is that there's actually very little + * correlation between the JS stack and the C++ stack because many JS functions + * all run in the same C++ frame, or can even go backwards in C++ when going + * from the JIT back to the interpreter. + * + * To alleviate this problem, all JS functions push nullptr as their "native + * stack pointer" to indicate that it's a JS function call. The function + * RunScript(), however, pushes an actual C++ stack pointer onto the profiler + * stack. This way when interleaving C++ and JS, if the Gecko Profiler sees a + * nullptr native stack pointer on the profiler stack, it looks backwards for + * the first non-nullptr pointer and uses that for all subsequent nullptr + * native stack pointers. + * + * = Line Numbers + * + * One goal of sampling is to get both a backtrace of the JS stack, but also + * know where within each function on the stack execution currently is. For + * this, each ProfilingStackFrame has a 'pc' field to tell where its execution + * currently is. This field is updated whenever a call is made to another JS + * function, and for the JIT it is also updated whenever the JIT is left. + * + * This field is in a union with a uint32_t 'line' so that C++ can make use of + * the field as well. It was observed that tracking 'line' via PCToLineNumber in + * JS was far too expensive, so that is why the pc instead of the translated + * line number is stored. + * + * As an invariant, if the pc is nullptr, then the JIT is currently executing + * generated code. Otherwise execution is in another JS function or in C++. With + * this in place, only the top frame of the stack can ever have nullptr as its + * pc. Additionally with this invariant, it is possible to maintain mappings of + * JIT code to pc which can be accessed safely because they will only be + * accessed from a signal handler when the JIT code is executing. + */ + +class JS_PUBLIC_API ProfilingStack; + +namespace js { + +class BaseScript; +class GeckoProfilerThread; + +// The `ProfileStringMap` weakly holds its `BaseScript*` keys and owns its +// string values.
