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