tp: mark the machine-wide counter types machine-scoped Marks the counter types that describe the device itself, with device-only dimensions and values that are instantaneous or counted since boot: CPU frequency, limits, throttle, idle, utilization, capacity and nr_running; GPU frequency and memory; clock frequency and state; thermal and cooling devices; ION and DMA heap totals; battery counters, status, plug type, screen state and battery stats; kernel wakelocks; entity state residency; energy breakdown; and the sys_stats memory, pressure (PSI), CPU time, IRQ, fork and buddyinfo counters. Merged traces of one machine now share one track for each. Power rails, disk stats, network counters and per-process or per-UID series stay per trace. The bugreport parser uses the shared battery status blueprint, so its battery history shares that track too. Most of the diff is re-indentation from the wrapper (see git diff -w). Adds zip diff tests for the merge edge cases: overlaps, chains, consecutive traces with archive order unlike time order, ties, CPU-per- UID handovers, GPU work periods, kernel wakelocks, a bugreport battery history, one track for every machine-scoped type, and guards for merges that share no data.
Perfetto is an open-source suite of SDKs, daemons and tools which use tracing to help developers understand the behaviour of complex systems and root-cause functional and performance issues on client and embedded systems.
It is a production-grade tool that is the default tracing system for the Android operating system and the Chromium browser.
Perfetto is not a single tool, but a collection of components that work together:
Perfetto was designed to be a versatile and powerful tracing system for a wide range of use cases.
ftrace, allowing you to visualize scheduling, syscalls, interrupts, and custom kernel tracepoints on a timeline.chrome://tracing. Use it to debug and root-cause issues in the browser, V8, and Blink.We‘ve designed our documentation to guide you to the right information as quickly as possible, whether you’re a newcomer to performance analysis or an experienced developer.
