Refactor Scrolling and Tracks using Panels In this CL: * We introduce the interface Panel, which only two methods: renderCanvas and updateDom. * Tracks are internally reimplemented as Panels. Track extension API remains unchanged (except they now get timeScale and visibleWindowMs through a global.) * Introduce LightRedrawer, which schedules rafs for high frequency drawing. All canvas drawing now happens through LightRedrawer, although m.redraw still remains in most places until we change overview timeline to work with LightRedrawer. * Lift out state used by canvas redrawing to global FrontendLocalState object, since attributes do not propagate through the mithril tree if m.redraw is not called. * Scrolling architecture is simplified. CanvasController, Scrollable Container, and CanvasWrapper are all gone, replaced with the single ScrollingPanelContainer. What's not in this CL: * We don't have a non-scrolling panel container. We can factor out the common code between scrolling and non-scrolling container and do that in a seperate CL. * We don't have any additional panels other than tracks. Known issues: * The trace doesn't draw after loading until you pan/zoom for the first time. We will need to initialize the time scale and visibleWindowMs properly after a trace load.

Perfetto is an open-source project for performance instrumentation and tracing of Linux/Android/Chrome platforms and user-space apps.
It consists of:
A portable, high efficiency, user-space tracing library
designed for tracing of multi-process systems, based on zero-alloc zero-copy zero-syscall (on fast-paths) writing of protobufs over shared memory.
OS-wide Linux/Android probes for platform debugging
Web-based frontend
A UI for inspection and analysis of traces (coming soon).
Batch processing of traces
A python / C++ (TBD) library for trace-based metrics (coming soon).
Perfetto is building the next-gen unified tracing ecosystem for:
The goal is to create an open, portable and developer friendly tracing ecosystem for app and platform performance debugging.
Designed for production
Perfetto's tracing library and daemons are designed for use in production. Privilege isolation is a key design goal:
See docs/security-model.md for more details.
Long traces
Pefetto aims at supporting hours-long / O(100GB) traces, both in terms of recording backend and UI frontend.
Interoperability
Perfetto traces (output) and configuration (input) consists of protobuf messages, in order to allow interoperability with several languages.
See docs/trace-format.md for more details.
Composability
As Perfetto is designed both for OS-level tracing and app-level tracing, its design allows to compose several instances of the Perfetto tracing library, allowing to nest multiple layers of tracing and drive then with the same frontend. This allows powerful blending of app-specific and OS-wide trace events. See docs/multi-layer-tracing.md for more details.
Portability
The only dependencies of Perfetto's tracing libraries are C++11 and Protobuf lite (plus google-test, google-benchmark, libprotobuf-full for testing).
Extensibility
Perfetto allows third parties to defined their own protobufs for:
Allowing apps to define their own strongly-typed input and output schema. See docs/trace-format.md for more details.
