31 // TrackedObjects provides a database of stats about objects (generally Tasks)
32 // that are tracked. Tracking means their birth, death, duration, birth thread,
33 // death thread, and birth place are recorded. This data is carefully spread
34 // across a series of objects so that the counts and times can be rapidly
35 // updated without (usually) having to lock the data, and hence there is usually
36 // very little contention caused by the tracking. The data can be viewed via
37 // the about:profiler URL, with a variety of sorting and filtering choices.
39 // These classes serve as the basis of a profiler of sorts for the Tasks system.
40 // As a result, design decisions were made to maximize speed, by minimizing
41 // recurring allocation/deallocation, lock contention and data copying. In the
42 // "stable" state, which is reached relatively quickly, there is no separate
43 // marginal allocation cost associated with construction or destruction of
44 // tracked objects, no locks are generally employed, and probably the largest
45 // computational cost is associated with obtaining start and stop times for
46 // instances as they are created and destroyed.
48 // The following describes the life cycle of tracking an instance.
50 // First off, when the instance is created, the FROM_HERE macro is expanded
51 // to specify the birth place (file, line, function) where the instance was
52 // created. That data is used to create a transient Location instance
53 // encapsulating the above triple of information. The strings (like __FILE__)
54 // are passed around by reference, with the assumption that they are static, and
55 // will never go away. This ensures that the strings can be dealt with as atoms
56 // with great efficiency (i.e., copying of strings is never needed, and
57 // comparisons for equality can be based on pointer comparisons).
59 // Next, a Births instance is created for use ONLY on the thread where this
60 // instance was created. That Births instance records (in a base class
61 // BirthOnThread) references to the static data provided in a Location instance,
62 // as well as a pointer specifying the thread on which the birth takes place.
63 // Hence there is at most one Births instance for each Location on each thread.
64 // The derived Births class contains slots for recording statistics about all
65 // instances born at the same location. Statistics currently include only the
66 // count of instances constructed.
68 // Since the base class BirthOnThread contains only constant data, it can be
69 // freely accessed by any thread at any time (i.e., only the statistic needs to
70 // be handled carefully, and stats are updated exclusively on the birth thread).
72 // For Tasks, having now either constructed or found the Births instance
73 // described above, a pointer to the Births instance is then recorded into the
74 // PendingTask structure in MessageLoop. This fact alone is very useful in
75 // debugging, when there is a question of where an instance came from. In
76 // addition, the birth time is also recorded and used to later evaluate the
77 // lifetime duration of the whole Task. As a result of the above embedding, we
78 // can find out a Task's location of birth, and thread of birth, without using
79 // any locks, as all that data is constant across the life of the process.
81 // The above work *could* also be done for any other object as well by calling
82 // TallyABirthIfActive() and TallyRunOnNamedThreadIfTracking() as appropriate.
84 // The amount of memory used in the above data structures depends on how many
85 // threads there are, and how many Locations of construction there are.
86 // Fortunately, we don't use memory that is the product of those two counts, but
87 // rather we only need one Births instance for each thread that constructs an
88 // instance at a Location. In many cases, instances are only created on one
89 // thread, so the memory utilization is actually fairly restrained.
91 // Lastly, when an instance is deleted, the final tallies of statistics are
92 // carefully accumulated. That tallying writes into slots (members) in a
93 // collection of DeathData instances. For each birth place Location that is
94 // destroyed on a thread, there is a DeathData instance to record the additional
95 // death count, as well as accumulate the run-time and queue-time durations for
96 // the instance as it is destroyed (dies). By maintaining a single place to
97 // aggregate this running sum *only* for the given thread, we avoid the need to
98 // lock such DeathData instances. (i.e., these accumulated stats in a DeathData
99 // instance are exclusively updated by the singular owning thread).
101 // With the above life cycle description complete, the major remaining detail
102 // is explaining how each thread maintains a list of DeathData instances, and
103 // of Births instances, and is able to avoid additional (redundant/unnecessary)
106 // Each thread maintains a list of data items specific to that thread in a
107 // ThreadData instance (for that specific thread only). The two critical items
108 // are lists of DeathData and Births instances. These lists are maintained in
109 // STL maps, which are indexed by Location. As noted earlier, we can compare
110 // locations very efficiently as we consider the underlying data (file,
111 // function, line) to be atoms, and hence pointer comparison is used rather than
112 // (slow) string comparisons.
114 // To provide a mechanism for iterating over all "known threads," which means
115 // threads that have recorded a birth or a death, we create a singly linked list
116 // of ThreadData instances. Each such instance maintains a pointer to the next
117 // one. A static member of ThreadData provides a pointer to the first item on
118 // this global list, and access via that all_thread_data_list_head_ item
119 // requires the use of the list_lock_.
120 // When new ThreadData instances is added to the global list, it is pre-pended,
121 // which ensures that any prior acquisition of the list is valid (i.e., the
122 // holder can iterate over it without fear of it changing, or the necessity of
123 // using an additional lock. Iterations are actually pretty rare (used
124 // primarily for cleanup, or snapshotting data for display), so this lock has
125 // very little global performance impact.
127 // The above description tries to define the high performance (run time)
128 // portions of these classes. After gathering statistics, calls instigated
129 // by visiting about:profiler will assemble and aggregate data for display. The
130 // following data structures are used for producing such displays. They are
131 // not performance critical, and their only major constraint is that they should
132 // be able to run concurrently with ongoing augmentation of the birth and death
135 // This header also exports collection of classes that provide "snapshotted"
136 // representations of the core tracked_objects:: classes. These snapshotted
137 // representations are designed for safe transmission of the tracked_objects::
138 // data across process boundaries. Each consists of:
139 // (1) a default constructor, to support the IPC serialization macros,
140 // (2) a constructor that extracts data from the type being snapshotted, and
141 // (3) the snapshotted data.
143 // For a given birth location, information about births is spread across data
144 // structures that are asynchronously changing on various threads. For
145 // serialization and display purposes, we need to construct TaskSnapshot
146 // instances for each combination of birth thread, death thread, and location,
147 // along with the count of such lifetimes. We gather such data into a
148 // TaskSnapshot instances, so that such instances can be sorted and
149 // aggregated (and remain frozen during our processing).
151 // Profiling consists of phases. The concrete phase in the sequence of phases is
152 // identified by its 0-based index.
154 // The ProcessDataPhaseSnapshot struct is a serialized representation of the
155 // list of ThreadData objects for a process for a concrete profiling phase. It
156 // holds a set of TaskSnapshots and tracks parent/child relationships for the
157 // executed tasks. The statistics in a snapshot are gathered asynhcronously
158 // relative to their ongoing updates.
159 // It is possible, though highly unlikely, that stats could be incorrectly
160 // recorded by this process (all data is held in 32 bit ints, but we are not
161 // atomically collecting all data, so we could have count that does not, for
162 // example, match with the number of durations we accumulated). The advantage
163 // to having fast (non-atomic) updates of the data outweighs the minimal risk of
164 // a singular corrupt statistic snapshot (only the snapshot could be corrupt,
165 // not the underlying and ongoing statistic). In contrast, pointer data that
166 // is accessed during snapshotting is completely invariant, and hence is
167 // perfectly acquired (i.e., no potential corruption, and no risk of a bad
168 // memory reference).
170 // TODO(jar): We can implement a Snapshot system that *tries* to grab the
171 // snapshots on the source threads *when* they have MessageLoops available
172 // (worker threads don't have message loops generally, and hence gathering from
173 // them will continue to be asynchronous). We had an implementation of this in
174 // the past, but the difficulty is dealing with message loops being terminated.
175 // We can *try* to spam the available threads via some message loop proxy to
176 // achieve this feat, and it *might* be valuable when we are collecting data
177 // for upload via UMA (where correctness of data may be more significant than
178 // for a single screen of about:profiler).
180 // TODO(jar): We should support (optionally) the recording of parent-child
181 // relationships for tasks. This should be done by detecting what tasks are
182 // Born during the running of a parent task. The resulting data can be used by
183 // a smarter profiler to aggregate the cost of a series of child tasks into
184 // the ancestor task. It can also be used to illuminate what child or parent is
185 // related to each task.
187 // TODO(jar): We need to store DataCollections, and provide facilities for
188 // taking the difference between two gathered DataCollections. For now, we're
189 // just adding a hack that Reset()s to zero all counts and stats. This is also
190 // done in a slightly thread-unsafe fashion, as the resetting is done
191 // asynchronously relative to ongoing updates (but all data is 32 bit in size).
192 // For basic profiling, this will work "most of the time," and should be
193 // sufficient... but storing away DataCollections is the "right way" to do this.
194 // We'll accomplish this via JavaScript storage of snapshots, and then we'll
195 // remove the Reset() methods. We may also need a short-term-max value in
196 // DeathData that is reset (as synchronously as possible) during each snapshot.
197 // This will facilitate displaying a max value for each snapshot period.
