This code attempts to measure the * latency of the UI-thread event loop by firing native events at it from * a background thread, and measuring how long it takes for them * to be serviced. The measurement interval (kMeasureInterval, below) * is also used as the upper bound of acceptable response time. * When an event takes longer than that interval to be serviced, * a sample will be written to the log. * * Usage: * * Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP=1 in the environment to enable * this instrumentation. Currently only the UI process is instrumented. * * Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP_OUTPUT in the environment to a * file path to contain the log output, the default is to log to stdout. * * Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP_THRESHOLD in the environment to an * integer number of milliseconds to change the threshold for reporting. * The default is 20 milliseconds. Unresponsive periods shorter than this * threshold will not be reported. * * Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP_INTERVAL in the environment to an * integer number of milliseconds to change the maximum sampling frequency. * This variable controls how often events will be sent to the main * thread's event loop to sample responsiveness. The sampler will not * send events twice within LOOP_INTERVAL milliseconds. * The default is 10 milliseconds. * * All logged output lines start with MOZ_EVENT_TRACE. All timestamps * output are milliseconds since the epoch (PRTime / 1000). * * On startup, a line of the form: * MOZ_EVENT_TRACE start * will be output. * * On shutdown, a line of the form: * MOZ_EVENT_TRACE stop * will be output. * * When an event servicing time exceeds the threshold, a line of the form: * MOZ_EVENT_TRACE sample * will be output, where is the number of milliseconds that * it took for the event to be serviced. Duration may contain a fractional * component. */ #include "GeckoProfiler.h" #include "EventTracer.h" #include #include "mozilla/Preferences.h" #include "mozilla/TimeStamp.h" #include "mozilla/WidgetTraceEvent.h" #include "nsDebug.h" #include #include #include #include #include #include "nsThreadUtils.h" using mozilla::FireAndWaitForTracerEvent; using mozilla::TimeDuration; using mozilla::TimeStamp; namespace { PRThread* sTracerThread = nullptr; bool sExit = false; struct TracerStartClosure { bool mLogTracing; int32_t mThresholdInterval; }; /* * The tracer thread fires events at the native event loop roughly * every kMeasureInterval.
