ui+tp: Android ProcessState binding graph explorer and causal trigger analysis Trace processor: - Reconstruct per-OomAdjuster-pass snapshots of processes, services, service bindings, providers and provider connections from the android.process_state data source and framework track events. - Recover the initial state of processes from process_state_died and reconstruct processes alive at trace start that die in-trace. - Prefer AMS's process_state_died over the kernel exit / AppExitInfo process_died, which can be seen a pass early (crash) or seconds late. - Time-varying service/provider hosts (service_create, restarts), FGS start/type-change/stop, binding flag updates and provider stable <-> unstable connection updates. - Keep services/providers that are not running but still have live connections (bound before creation or after destroy) unhosted, and stop resurrecting records from same-pass bind mutations. - Causal trigger table with service_id / bind_id / intent_bind_id / provider_id linking columns; process_state_died is a trigger. UI (com.android.ProcessState): - Binding graph explorer, By-reason grouping, trigger details with linking ids, resizable drawer split.
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.
