Add support for long running traces

This CL adds the ability to pass a file descriptor to the
service when enabling tracing and periodically draining the
trace buffers into that file directly from the service.
This CL does not change the default behavior (which is: stream
the trace over IPC) but allows to change it when setting
|write_into_file|==true into the trace config.

More in details this CL:
- Adds new fields to the trace config to support passing the
  FD, as well as tuning the write period and max file size.
- Adds an explicit OnTracingStop() notification to the
  Consumer, as it can no longer rely on
  OnTraceData(has_more==false) to determine when tracing ended.
- Removes the OptimizeFor argument of TraceConfig, which ended
  up being never-used.
- Adds a SIGINT signal handler to the perfetto cmdline client,
  allowing to gracefully stop the trace and get back the results
  when hitting CTRL-c once.
- Stops using a temporary file when NOT using --dropbox, as the
  trace file will be valid even if not finalized.
- Add large traces support to trace_to_text by tokenizing the
  packets before passing them to the protobuf decoder (which would
  accept at most a 64M protobuf)

Perfetto - Performance instrumentation and logging for POSIX platforms

This project is meant to be built both as part of the Android tree and from a standalone checkout

For internal docs see this page

Supported platforms

Android is the platform targeted in the first milestones. Right now Linux desktop and OSX are maintained best-effort.

Contributing

This project uses Android AOSP Gerrit for code reviews and uses the Google C++ style. Currently targets -std=c++11.

You can use both git cl upload from Chromium depot tools or Android repo to upload patches.

git cl is quite convenient as it supports code auto-formatting via git cl format.

See https://source.android.com/source/contributing for more details about external contributions and CLA signing.

Build instructions

See docs/build_instructions.md

Running Perfetto

See docs/running_perfetto.md

Continuous integration

Continuous build and test coverage is available at perfetto-ci.appspot.com. Trybots: CLs uploaded to gerrit are automatically submitted to TravisCI within one minute and made available on the CI page above. The relevant code lives in the infra/ directory.

Run tests

On the host (Linux / OSX)

$ tools/ninja -C out/default (tracing_unittests | tracing_benchmarks)
$ out/default/tracing_unittests --gtest_help

On Android

Either connect a device in ADB mode or use the bundled emulator.

To start the emulator:
$ tools/run_android_emulator (arm | arm64) &

To run the tests (either on the emulator or physical device):
$ tools/run_android_test out/default tracing_unittests
