tbV2: relocate fully-read scraped chunks instead of rewriting them (#6767) Fixes a data-loss race seen in 24h field traces with sporadic writers. Fingerprint: orphan_continuation = overwrite = sequence_packet_loss = 1 on the buffer, one packet with previous_packet_dropped = 73. The race: - A flush scrapes a writer's half-full chunk; the incomplete copy is pinned in the buffer and read over time. - Hours later the writer commits the chunk. The recommit rewrote it in place, at the now-stale offset, with the write cursor almost a lap ahead: the never-read fragments could be overwritten before the next read pass. - If the chunk ends with kFragBegin, that eviction destroys the begin fragment and its continuation later reads back as an orphan. The fix: - If the scraped copy is fully consumed and the final commit brings new fragments, erase the stale copy and relocate the chunk to the write cursor, reusing the re-admit path for evicted chunks (#5372). - previously_consumed_payload skips what was already read, so nothing is duplicated; ChunkIDs stay consecutive, so no read gap. - Rescrapes, partially-consumed and out-of-order recommits keep the in-place rewrite, as do kDiscard buffers (they never lap, and the write path could hit DiscardWrite() and drop the fragments being recovered). New chunks_relocated stat (BufferStats field 20) counts these, mirroring chunks_rewritten. Field 20 was never assigned in BufferStats: the CL below added bytes_discarded_per_buffer = 20 to FilterStats but bumped the "Next id" above BufferStats, leaving a phantom hole. https://r.android.com/2882818 Four new tests cover the race itself, the rescrape / unread-payload / kDiscard exclusions, and the case where the continuation chunk is already buffered. Bug: 518755701.
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.
