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