ui: Support pinning tracks and drawing all flows for a selected app (#6655) Previously, the Android Input Lifecycle plugin only allowed tracing the lifecycle of a single selected input event at a time, and did not have a way to automatically pin all input pipeline tracks for a specific app. This PR adds two new capabilities to the Android Input Lifecycle plugin to improve trace analysis: 1) Drawing all input flows for a selected app: Adds commands "Android: Draw all input arrows (With speculative)" and "Android: Draw all input arrows (No speculative)". These commands display all input flow arrows for the currently selected app, helping the user visualize the global flow of inputs at once. 2) Pinning tracks for a selected app: Adds a command "Android: Pin input pipeline related tracks" which prompts the user to select an app, and automatically pins all related tracks in the input pipeline. Additionally, this PR refactors index.ts to clean up internal state management and extract reusable helper methods: - extractConnectionsFromRows(): Extracts arrow connections from row datasets. - useRowState() & applyInitialSelection(): Simplifies rendering logic in the Mithril component. - getUniqueInputApps() & getAllInputTrackUris(): Handles SQL retrieval of apps and tracks from trace processor.
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.
