As ChromeOS is using perfetto (project named as CrOSetto). When ChromeOS
uses libcamera, it should use perfetto to collect traces instead of
lttng.

Hi Harvey,

Sorry for the delay.

I'd rather the wording specify "tracing" generically first, then
elaborate between perfetto and lttng.

I'm wondering, does it make sense to allow both to be compiled in at the
same time? I guess we wouldn't use the same binary on CrOS and on
non-CrOS, and we wouldn't use perfetto on non-CrOS. So I guess the only
use case would be if lttng would ever be used on CrOS. Is that ever a
use case?

I'm wondering if category here in perfetto means something different
than lttng's? lttng only has the top-level category then the trace name
(afaik), so the top-level category is "libcamera" and after that we end
up using an underscore-separated prefix.

Does perfetto allow another level of catetories? I don't seem to see
any, in which case I think we should just remove this section, as all
the tracepoints that this section refers to are internal to libcamera,
so they'd all use the "libcamera" category.

Do you think it's feasible to have just one definition and we can use it
to generate the other? I'd say use lttng's (because it's more specific,
like how it specifies the types of the fields) and then use that to
generate perfetto's.

Or is it better to just make sure that each tracepoint is defined twice?
I'm not fond of the duplicate work though, so tbh I'd rather one
definition that generates the other, if that's feasible. (Is it time for
me to write yet another code generator?)

I think this section applies regardless of if we're using lttng or
perfetto.

Does this have to be fed through stdin or is there an option for

Should this be /* !HAVE_PERFETTO && !HAVE_TRACING */ ?

Also, probably we should rename TRACING to LTTNG everywhere. perfetto is
tracing too, so it sounds kind of weird to say "!HAVE_TRACING but
HAVE_PERFETTO", at least imo.

This won't work, as we need the header guard on the next line.

So this needs to be shuffled around.

Is it not possible for the definitions to go in the .perfetto file? Or
is there some other reason that makes it strongly discouraged?

If it's required to be in a separate .cpp file, I'd at least want it
under src/libcamera/perfetto/ or src/libcamera/tracepoints/ or something
along those lines, and not in the top level src/libcamera/.

That or a code generator, so that we don't have to duplicate efforts of
tracepoint definitions in the first place, or risk tracepoints not being
defined for one but not the other.


Thanks,

Paul

Thanks Paul! And sorry for the delay.

Please check the v3 patch, which should contain most of the fixes according
to your
comments.

I don't think so. CrOS Camera already supports perfetto, and it's the
performance
tracing tool being used across the OS and the VMs. So I believe we don't
have
the use case to compile them both.

So perfetto would allow multiple categories. Currently yes, all tracepoints
belong to the same category "libcamera". But I just wanted to mention
here that it's possible for developers to add other categories to filter
tracepoints in the future.

Do you think that's worth mentioning here?

Sorry, I'm not sure what's in your picture, and I don't really understand
how lttng works: is it to have only one set of macro definitions
(LIBCAMERA_TRACEPOINT, LIBCAMERA_TRACEPOINT_IPA_BEGIN,
LIBCAMERA_TRACEPOINT_IPA_END)? Into the macro `tracepoint`?

Could you give a simple POC that covers one macro? Thanks!

Both stdin or a file work, `perfetto --help` shows:
```--config         -c      : /path/to/trace/config/file or - for stdin```

Do you think I should put this instead of instructing developers to use
stdin?

So when I put them into the .perfetto file, which will be put in the
generated tracepoints.h with `{{source}}`, even with the header
guard INCLUDE_LIBCAMERA_INTERNAL_TRACEPOINTS_TP_H,
it still won't compile:
```
ld.lld: error: duplicate symbol:
LIBCAMERA_TRACE_EVENT_request(libcamera::Request*)
>>> defined at tracepoints.h:105
(include/libcamera/internal/tracepoints.h:105)
>>>

>>>
 src/libcamera/libcamera.so.0.0.2.p/request.cpp.o:(.text._Z29LIBCAMERA_TRACE_EVENT_requestPN9libcamera7RequestE+0x0)
```

I wonder if it's because of the header guard with another condition:
`|| defined(TRACEPOINT_HEADER_MULTI_READ)`

WDYT?

I'm not sure how to add a code generator that handles some complicated
macros (like LIBCAMERA_TRACE_EVENT_request_complete_buffer)
without great effort. Let me know if you have a great idea. Thanks!

+Library: Perfetto vs lttng-ust
+---------
+
+To integrate with CrOS tracing infrastructure, which uses perfetto (or called
+CrOSetto in CrOS), we implement the tracepoint macros (will be described below)
+with two different libraries: CrOS with perfetto, and the rest with lttng-ust.
+
 Compiling
 ---------
 
-To compile libcamera with tracing support, it must be enabled through the
-meson ``tracing`` option. It depends on the lttng-ust library (available in the
-``liblttng-ust-dev`` package for Debian-based distributions).
-By default the tracing option in meson is set to ``auto``, so if
-liblttng is detected, it will be enabled by default. Conversely, if the option
-is set to disabled, then libcamera will be compiled without tracing support.

 Defining tracepoints
 --------------------
 
 libcamera already contains a set of tracepoints. To define additional
-tracepoints, create a file
-``include/libcamera/internal/tracepoints/{file}.tp``, where ``file`` is a
-reasonable name related to the category of tracepoints that you wish to
-define. For example, the tracepoints file for the Request object is called
-``request.tp``. An entry for this file must be added in
-``include/libcamera/internal/tracepoints/meson.build``.
-
-In this tracepoints file, define your tracepoints `as mandated by lttng
+tracepoints, create two files ``{file}.tp`` and ``{file}.perfetto``, for lttng
+and perfetto respectively, under ``include/libcamera/internal/tracepoints/``,
+and the perfetto implementation file ``src/libcamera/{file}_perfetto.cpp``,
+where ``file`` is a reasonable name related to the category of tracepoints that
+you wish to define. For example, the tracepoints files for the Request object is
+called ``request.tp`` and ``request.perfetto``. Entries for the files must be
+added in ``include/libcamera/internal/tracepoints/meson.build``.
+
+In the perfetto tracepoints files, declare the tracepoint functions in
+``{file}.perfetto``, and define them in ``{file}_perfetto.cpp``, `as mandated
+by perfetto <https://perfetto.dev/docs/instrumentation/track-events>`_.
+Currently the only enabled perfetto::Category is ``libcamera``. If you intend to
+use another category, remember to define it in
+``include/libcamera/internal/tracepoints.h.in``, and enable it when collecting
+traces.
+
+In the lttng tracepoints file, define your tracepoints `as mandated by lttng
 <https://lttng.org/man/3/lttng-ust>`_. The header boilerplate must *not* be
 included (as it will conflict with the rest of our infrastructure), and
 only the tracepoint definitions (with the ``TRACEPOINT_*`` macros) should be
 included.

+
+A trace can be collected with the following steps:
+
+1. Start `traced` if it hasn't been started.
+.. code-block:: bash

+   start traced
+
+2. Start a consumer that includes “track_event” data source in the trace

+   EOF
+
+3. Execute the libcamera behavior you intend to trace during the set duration
+   (10000 ms) in the above example.
+
+4. After the consumer (cmd `perfetto`) is done, you can find the trace result
+   in ``/tmp/perfetto-trace``.
