Android systrace tool, calls atrace tool via ADB. However, I don't understand very well the format of the traces file. Apparently it is very similar to linux ftrace tool with some differences. The main difference is that is doesn't uses a System.Map file but it includes all that information into the trace file. Also, there are new B|E entries that are android specific.
However, in that documentation we can read that the format belongs to Linux Perf Tool. I don't think so, linux perf gives as an output a very different format... (unless some special configuration is active...)
My question is: Does anybody know where can I found an official documentation about android trace files generated with atrace tool from adb?
Is this format familiar to you ? # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 66427/66427 #P:2 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | atrace-1724 [000] d..3 14186.680000: sched_switch: prev_comm=atrace prev_pid=1724 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/0 next_pid=0 next_prio=120 -0 [000] d.h7 14186.690000: sched_wakeup: comm=tfm_b6bcf800 pid=1714 prio=35 success=1 target_cpu=000 -0 [000] d..3 14186.690000: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/0 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=tfm_b6bcf800 next_pid=1714 next_prio=35 tfm_b6bcf800-1714 [000] d..3 14186.690000: sched_switch: prev_comm=tfm_b6bcf800 prev_pid=1714 prev_prio=35 prev_state=D|W ==> next_comm=swapper/0 next_pid=0 next_prio=120 -0 [001] d.h3 14186.690000: sched_wakeup: comm=Player Aud Mixe pid=146 prio=35 success=1 target_cpu=001 -0 [001] d..3 14186.690000: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/1 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=Player Aud Mixe next_pid=146 next_prio=35 Player Aud Mixe-146 [001] d..3 14186.690000: sched_switch: prev_comm=Player Aud Mixe prev_pid=146 prev_prio=35 prev_state=D ==> next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120 -0 [001] d.h3 14186.690000: sched_wakeup: comm=Player Aud Mixe pid=146 prio=35 success=1 target_cpu=001 -0 [001] d..3 14186.690000: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/1 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=Player Aud Mixe next_pid=146 next_prio=35 Player Aud Mixe-146 [001] d..3 14186.690000: sched_switch: prev_comm=Player Aud Mixe prev_pid=146 prev_prio=35 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120 -0 [001] d.h3 14186.700000: sched_wakeup: comm=Player Aud Mixe pid=146 prio=35 success=1 target_cpu=001 -0 [001] d..3 14186.700000: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/1 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=Player Aud Mixe next_pid=146 next_prio=35 EventThread-110 [001] d..5 14190.100000: sched_wakeup: comm=SurfaceFlinger pid=103 prio=112 success=1 target_cpu=001 EventThread-110 [001] d..3 14190.100000: sched_switch: prev_comm=EventThread prev_pid=110 prev_prio=111 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=SurfaceFlinger next_pid=103 next_prio=112 SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: B|96|onMessageReceived SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: B|96|handleTransaction SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: B|96|doTransaction SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: E SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: E SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: B|96|handleMessageInvalidate SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: E SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: E SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: B|96|onMessageReceived SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: B|96|handleMessageRefresh SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: B|96|rebuildLayerStacks SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: B|96|computeVisibleRegions SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: E SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: E SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] ...1 14190.100000: tracing_mark_write: B|96|doComposition SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] d.h4 14190.100000: sched_wakeup: comm=surfaceflinger pid=96 prio=120 success=1 target_cpu=001 SurfaceFlinger-103 [001] d..3 14190.100000: sched_switch: prev_comm=SurfaceFlinger prev_pid=103 prev_prio=112 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=surfaceflinger next_pid=96 next_prio=120
