1 //! # Rust Compiler Self-Profiling
3 //! This module implements the basic framework for the compiler's self-
4 //! profiling support. It provides the `SelfProfiler` type which enables
5 //! recording "events". An event is something that starts and ends at a given
6 //! point in time and has an ID and a kind attached to it. This allows for
7 //! tracing the compiler's activity.
9 //! Internally this module uses the custom tailored [measureme][mm] crate for
10 //! efficiently recording events to disk in a compact format that can be
11 //! post-processed and analyzed by the suite of tools in the `measureme`
12 //! project. The highest priority for the tracing framework is on incurring as
13 //! little overhead as possible.
18 //! Events have a few properties:
20 //! - The `event_kind` designates the broad category of an event (e.g. does it
21 //! correspond to the execution of a query provider or to loading something
22 //! from the incr. comp. on-disk cache, etc).
23 //! - The `event_id` designates the query invocation or function call it
24 //! corresponds to, possibly including the query key or function arguments.
25 //! - Each event stores the ID of the thread it was recorded on.
26 //! - The timestamp stores beginning and end of the event, or the single point
27 //! in time it occurred at for "instant" events.
30 //! ## Event Filtering
32 //! Event generation can be filtered by event kind. Recording all possible
33 //! events generates a lot of data, much of which is not needed for most kinds
34 //! of analysis. So, in order to keep overhead as low as possible for a given
35 //! use case, the `SelfProfiler` will only record the kinds of events that
36 //! pass the filter specified as a command line argument to the compiler.
39 //! ## `event_id` Assignment
41 //! As far as `measureme` is concerned, `event_id`s are just strings. However,
42 //! it would incur too much overhead to generate and persist each `event_id`
43 //! string at the point where the event is recorded. In order to make this more
44 //! efficient `measureme` has two features:
46 //! - Strings can share their content, so that re-occurring parts don't have to
47 //! be copied over and over again. One allocates a string in `measureme` and
48 //! gets back a `StringId`. This `StringId` is then used to refer to that
49 //! string. `measureme` strings are actually DAGs of string components so that
50 //! arbitrary sharing of substrings can be done efficiently. This is useful
51 //! because `event_id`s contain lots of redundant text like query names or
52 //! def-path components.
54 //! - `StringId`s can be "virtual" which means that the client picks a numeric
55 //! ID according to some application-specific scheme and can later make that
56 //! ID be mapped to an actual string. This is used to cheaply generate
57 //! `event_id`s while the events actually occur, causing little timing
58 //! distortion, and then later map those `StringId`s, in bulk, to actual
59 //! `event_id` strings. This way the largest part of the tracing overhead is
60 //! localized to one contiguous chunk of time.
62 //! How are these `event_id`s generated in the compiler? For things that occur
63 //! infrequently (e.g. "generic activities"), we just allocate the string the
64 //! first time it is used and then keep the `StringId` in a hash table. This
65 //! is implemented in `SelfProfiler::get_or_alloc_cached_string()`.
67 //! For queries it gets more interesting: First we need a unique numeric ID for
68 //! each query invocation (the `QueryInvocationId`). This ID is used as the
69 //! virtual `StringId` we use as `event_id` for a given event. This ID has to
70 //! be available both when the query is executed and later, together with the
71 //! query key, when we allocate the actual `event_id` strings in bulk.
73 //! We could make the compiler generate and keep track of such an ID for each
74 //! query invocation but luckily we already have something that fits all the
75 //! the requirements: the query's `DepNodeIndex`. So we use the numeric value
76 //! of the `DepNodeIndex` as `event_id` when recording the event and then,
77 //! just before the query context is dropped, we walk the entire query cache
78 //! (which stores the `DepNodeIndex` along with the query key for each
79 //! invocation) and allocate the corresponding strings together with a mapping
80 //! for `DepNodeIndex as StringId`.
