Perfetto <-> Ftrace interoperability
This doc is WIP, stay tuned.
This doc should:
- Describe the ftrace trace_pipe_raw -> protobuf translation.
- Describe how we deal with kernel ABI (in)stability and ftrace fields changing over kernel versions (we process
event/**/format files on-device
). - Describe how to generate ftrace protos (
tools/pull_ftrace_format_files.py
, tools/udate_protos.py
) - Describe how session multiplexing works.
Code lives in /src/traced/probes/ftrace.
