25 // TrackedObjects provides a database of stats about objects (generally Tasks)
26 // that are tracked. Tracking means their birth, death, duration, birth thread,
27 // death thread, and birth place are recorded. This data is carefully spread
28 // across a series of objects so that the counts and times can be rapidly
29 // updated without (usually) having to lock the data, and hence there is usually
30 // very little contention caused by the tracking. The data can be viewed via
31 // the about:profiler URL, with a variety of sorting and filtering choices.
33 // These classes serve as the basis of a profiler of sorts for the Tasks system.
34 // As a result, design decisions were made to maximize speed, by minimizing
35 // recurring allocation/deallocation, lock contention and data copying. In the
36 // "stable" state, which is reached relatively quickly, there is no separate
37 // marginal allocation cost associated with construction or destruction of
38 // tracked objects, no locks are generally employed, and probably the largest
39 // computational cost is associated with obtaining start and stop times for
40 // instances as they are created and destroyed.
42 // The following describes the lifecycle of tracking an instance.
44 // First off, when the instance is created, the FROM_HERE macro is expanded
45 // to specify the birth place (file, line, function) where the instance was
46 // created. That data is used to create a transient Location instance
47 // encapsulating the above triple of information. The strings (like __FILE__)
48 // are passed around by reference, with the assumption that they are static, and
49 // will never go away. This ensures that the strings can be dealt with as atoms
50 // with great efficiency (i.e., copying of strings is never needed, and
51 // comparisons for equality can be based on pointer comparisons).
53 // Next, a Births instance is created for use ONLY on the thread where this
54 // instance was created. That Births instance records (in a base class
55 // BirthOnThread) references to the static data provided in a Location instance,
56 // as well as a pointer specifying the thread on which the birth takes place.
57 // Hence there is at most one Births instance for each Location on each thread.
58 // The derived Births class contains slots for recording statistics about all
59 // instances born at the same location. Statistics currently include only the
60 // count of instances constructed.
62 // Since the base class BirthOnThread contains only constant data, it can be
63 // freely accessed by any thread at any time (i.e., only the statistic needs to
64 // be handled carefully, and stats are updated exclusively on the birth thread).
66 // For Tasks, having now either constructed or found the Births instance
67 // described above, a pointer to the Births instance is then recorded into the
68 // PendingTask structure in MessageLoop. This fact alone is very useful in
69 // debugging, when there is a question of where an instance came from. In
70 // addition, the birth time is also recorded and used to later evaluate the
71 // lifetime duration of the whole Task. As a result of the above embedding, we
72 // can find out a Task's location of birth, and thread of birth, without using
73 // any locks, as all that data is constant across the life of the process.
75 // The above work *could* also be done for any other object as well by calling
76 // TallyABirthIfActive() and TallyRunOnNamedThreadIfTracking() as appropriate.
78 // The amount of memory used in the above data structures depends on how many
79 // threads there are, and how many Locations of construction there are.
80 // Fortunately, we don't use memory that is the product of those two counts, but
81 // rather we only need one Births instance for each thread that constructs an
82 // instance at a Location. In many cases, instances are only created on one
83 // thread, so the memory utilization is actually fairly restrained.
85 // Lastly, when an instance is deleted, the final tallies of statistics are
86 // carefully accumulated. That tallying writes into slots (members) in a
87 // collection of DeathData instances. For each birth place Location that is
88 // destroyed on a thread, there is a DeathData instance to record the additional
89 // death count, as well as accumulate the run-time and queue-time durations for
90 // the instance as it is destroyed (dies). By maintaining a single place to
91 // aggregate this running sum *only* for the given thread, we avoid the need to
92 // lock such DeathData instances. (i.e., these accumulated stats in a DeathData
93 // instance are exclusively updated by the singular owning thread).
95 // With the above lifecycle description complete, the major remaining detail is
96 // explaining how each thread maintains a list of DeathData instances, and of
97 // Births instances, and is able to avoid additional (redundant/unnecessary)
98 // allocations.
100 // Each thread maintains a list of data items specific to that thread in a
101 // ThreadData instance (for that specific thread only). The two critical items
102 // are lists of DeathData and Births instances. These lists are maintained in
103 // STL maps, which are indexed by Location. As noted earlier, we can compare
104 // locations very efficiently as we consider the underlying data (file,
105 // function, line) to be atoms, and hence pointer comparison is used rather than
106 // (slow) string comparisons.
108 // To provide a mechanism for iterating over all "known threads," which means
109 // threads that have recorded a birth or a death, we create a singly linked list
110 // of ThreadData instances. Each such instance maintains a pointer to the next
111 // one. A static member of ThreadData provides a pointer to the first item on
112 // this global list, and access via that all_thread_data_list_head_ item
113 // requires the use of the list_lock_.
114 // When new ThreadData instances is added to the global list, it is pre-pended,
115 // which ensures that any prior acquisition of the list is valid (i.e., the
116 // holder can iterate over it without fear of it changing, or the necessity of
117 // using an additional lock. Iterations are actually pretty rare (used
118 // primarilly for cleanup, or snapshotting data for display), so this lock has
119 // very little global performance impact.
121 // The above description tries to define the high performance (run time)
122 // portions of these classes. After gathering statistics, calls instigated
123 // by visiting about:profiler will assemble and aggregate data for display. The
124 // following data structures are used for producing such displays. They are
125 // not performance critical, and their only major constraint is that they should
126 // be able to run concurrently with ongoing augmentation of the birth and death
127 // data.
129 // This header also exports collection of classes that provide "snapshotted"
130 // representations of the core tracked_objects:: classes. These snapshotted
131 // representations are designed for safe transmission of the tracked_objects::
132 // data across process boundaries. Each consists of:
133 // (1) a default constructor, to support the IPC serialization macros,
134 // (2) a constructor that extracts data from the type being snapshotted, and
135 // (3) the snapshotted data.
137 // For a given birth location, information about births is spread across data
138 // structures that are asynchronously changing on various threads. For
139 // serialization and display purposes, we need to construct TaskSnapshot
140 // instances for each combination of birth thread, death thread, and location,
141 // along with the count of such lifetimes. We gather such data into a
142 // TaskSnapshot instances, so that such instances can be sorted and
143 // aggregated (and remain frozen during our processing).
145 // The ProcessDataSnapshot struct is a serialized representation of the list
146 // of ThreadData objects for a process. It holds a set of TaskSnapshots
147 // and tracks parent/child relationships for the executed tasks. The statistics
148 // in a snapshot are gathered asynhcronously relative to their ongoing updates.
149 // It is possible, though highly unlikely, that stats could be incorrectly
150 // recorded by this process (all data is held in 32 bit ints, but we are not
151 // atomically collecting all data, so we could have count that does not, for
152 // example, match with the number of durations we accumulated). The advantage
153 // to having fast (non-atomic) updates of the data outweighs the minimal risk of
154 // a singular corrupt statistic snapshot (only the snapshot could be corrupt,
155 // not the underlying and ongoing statistic). In constrast, pointer data that
156 // is accessed during snapshotting is completely invariant, and hence is
157 // perfectly acquired (i.e., no potential corruption, and no risk of a bad
158 // memory reference).
160 // TODO(jar): We can implement a Snapshot system that *tries* to grab the
161 // snapshots on the source threads *when* they have MessageLoops available
162 // (worker threads don't have message loops generally, and hence gathering from
163 // them will continue to be asynchronous). We had an implementation of this in
164 // the past, but the difficulty is dealing with message loops being terminated.
165 // We can *try* to spam the available threads via some message loop proxy to
166 // achieve this feat, and it *might* be valuable when we are colecting data for
167 // upload via UMA (where correctness of data may be more significant than for a
168 // single screen of about:profiler).
170 // TODO(jar): We should support (optionally) the recording of parent-child
171 // relationships for tasks. This should be done by detecting what tasks are
172 // Born during the running of a parent task. The resulting data can be used by
173 // a smarter profiler to aggregate the cost of a series of child tasks into
174 // the ancestor task. It can also be used to illuminate what child or parent is
175 // related to each task.
177 // TODO(jar): We need to store DataCollections, and provide facilities for
178 // taking the difference between two gathered DataCollections. For now, we're
179 // just adding a hack that Reset()s to zero all counts and stats. This is also
180 // done in a slighly thread-unsafe fashion, as the resetting is done
181 // asynchronously relative to ongoing updates (but all data is 32 bit in size).
182 // For basic profiling, this will work "most of the time," and should be
183 // sufficient... but storing away DataCollections is the "right way" to do this.
184 // We'll accomplish this via JavaScript storage of snapshots, and then we'll
185 // remove the Reset() methods. We may also need a short-term-max value in
186 // DeathData that is reset (as synchronously as possible) during each snapshot.
187 // This will facilitate displaying a max value for each snapshot period.
