tp: inline traceconv conversion into the shell subcommands (#6396) The `convert` subcommand used to rebuild an argv and hand it to TraceconvMain. Call the trace_to_text functions directly instead. While doing this, split the symbolization modes out of `convert`, which is now only about turning a trace into another artifact: - bundle becomes a top-level subcommand. - symbolize and deobfuscate move under a new `util` subcommand. - profile and java_heap_profile stay in convert. convert_helpers holds the stdin/stdout setup and the text-proto-to-binary path shared by convert and util. Output is unchanged from traceconv, except firefox and decompress_packets now exit 0 on success (they used to return the bool result directly, so success exited 1). TraceconvMain and the standalone binary are removed later in the stack.
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.
