The following is the project description of the original project

Ftrace

Ftrace is a Python library for parsing and analyzing performance/power of Linux-based platform (e.g.Android). It relies on Function Tracer (Ftrace) - an internal tracing framework introduced in Linux kernel (>= 2.6.27). For complete documentation, see here.

Android devices are shipped with atrace binary that utilizes Ftrace and supports enabling and profiling of useful android events. In addition, Systrace tool

• Python/HTML-based wrapper - was developed by Google for profiling and visualizing via chrome://tracing/ on Chrome browser.

Prerequisites

Ftrace

Ftrace must be configured/enabled in the kernel. This requires CONFIG_FTRACE and other Ftrace options.

debugfs

Requires a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_FS option enabled (debugfs was added in 2.6.10-rc3). The debugfs needs to be mounted:

# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug

Most non-rooted (production) devices ship with some support for Ftrace and restrictions on what can be traced.

Quick Start

Ftrace parsing library provides API for in-depth analysis of both performance/power related issues. A version of this tool was used at Qualcomm (by previous employer) for development of big.LITTLE scheduler, UX analysis (application launch time), HMP usage and much more. To get started, lets load a trace file.

Loading a trace file.
