base: stream HTTP and websocket payloads into the handler's buffer This makes it such that instead of the HttpServer providing the buffer for HTTP/Websocket payloads, it instead asks the handler for where they would like the payload to be stored. The flow looks like this: socket read -> HTTPServer reads the headers/framing -> once it knows the size it calls OnHttpRequestBody or OnWebsocketPayload depending on the message type -> the handler provides the storage bytes -> httpserver reads into those provided buffers. The motivation for this is that it removes one copy allowing for "zero-copy" parsing and tokenization etc. The motivation for this is multi-threaded trace processor which requires fast-handoffs of buffers between threads and reducing the latency of the parse path (because we're going to be adding latency by a cross thread hop). This change is one step on that journey. Because a payload is now read across several socket reads, more than one can be in flight at a time, so every buffer the handler hands out has to belong to the connection asking for it. RPC payloads go into that connection's Rpc::Stream, added in the previous change; the bodies of the non-RPC endpoints go into a per-connection buffer alongside it. Sharing either across connections lets one connection's payload be dispatched into another's, or freed under it when the buffer grows. The origin check moves above the point where the body is requested, so a request that is about to be refused with a 403 is never handed a payload sink to write into. The reservation is held in the connection's state between the two calls, so a peer that disappears mid-payload gives it back explicitly rather than leaving the tokenizer believing a write is still in flight.
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.
