This patch merges the profiling functionality in the kernel with the
performance events mechanism. A profiler sample is now just another
perf event, rather than a dedicated thing.
Since perf events were already per-process, this now makes profiling
per-process as well.
Processes with perf events would already write out a perfcore.PID file
to the current directory on death, but since we may want to profile
a process and then let it continue running, recorded perf events can
now be accessed at any time via /proc/PID/perf_events.
This patch also adds information about process memory regions to the
perfcore JSON format. This removes the need to supply a core dump to
the Profiler app for symbolication, and so the "profiler coredump"
mechanism is removed entirely.
There's still a hard limit of 4MB worth of perf events per process,
so this is by no means a perfect final design, but it's a nice step
forward for both simplicity and stability.

This patch removes size policies and preferred sizes, and replaces them
with min-size and max-size for each widget.
Box layout now works in 3 passes:
1) Set all items (widgets/spacers) to their min-size
2) Distribute remaining space evenly, respecting max-size
3) Place widgets one after the other, adding spacing in between
I've also added convenience helpers for setting a fixed size (which is
the same as setting min-size and max-size to the same value.)
This significantly reduces the verbosity of widget layout and makes GML
a bit more pleasant to write, too. :^)
This came up in @jonathandturner's video walking through the system
and playing with things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtV86uL5oD4
At one point, he tried profiling his Terminal app, and since the
Terminal was completely idle while profiling, no samples were captured
and there was no profile to show.
Make sure we propagate any error when loading the profile, and show it
in a GUI message box instead of stderr. :^)
Instead of filling the whole row with selection color, only fill behind
the text. This gives a snugger, more focused appearance.
For embedders that want the entire row to get filled with the selection
color when selected, they can opt in to the old behavior by calling
TreeView::set_should_fill_selected_rows(). This is used by Profiler.
This view mode takes every stack frame and turns it into a root in the
profile graph. This allows functions that are called from many places
to bubble up to the top. It's a very handy way to discover heavy things
in a profile that are otherwise obscured by having many callers.
* AK: Add formatter for JsonValue.
* Inspector: Use new format functions.
* Profiler: Use new format functions.
* UserspaceEmulator: Use new format functions.
This patch introduces the HeaderView class, which is a widget that
implements the column headers of TableView and TreeView.
This greatly simplifies event management in the view implementations
and also makes it much easier to eventually implement row headers.
This is a follow up to #2936 / d3e3b4ae56aa79d9bde12ca1f143dcf116f89a4c.
Affected programs:
- Applications: Browser (Download, View source, Inspect DOM tree, JS
console), Terminal (Settings)
- Demos: Cube, Eyes, Fire, HelloWorld, LibGfxDemo, WebView,
WidgetGallery
- DevTools: HackStudio, Inspector, Profiler
- Games: 2048, Minesweeper, Snake, Solitaire
- Userland: test-web
A few have been left out where manual positioning is done on purpose,
e.g. ClipboardManager (to be close to the menu bar) or VisualBuilder (to
preserve alignment of the multiple application windows).
Various applications were using the same slightly verbose code to center
themselves on the screen/desktop:
Gfx::IntRect window_rect { 0, 0, width, height };
window_rect.center_within(GUI::Desktop::the().rect());
window->set_rect(window_rect);
Which now becomes:
window->resize(width, height);
window->center_on_screen();
This enables a nice warning in case a function becomes dead code. Also, in case
of signal_trampoline_dummy, marking it external (non-static) prevents it from
being 'optimized away', which would lead to surprising and weird linker errors.
Moves ProcessChooser and RunningProcessesModel to LibGUI and
generalizes their construction for use by other apps. Updates
Profiler to reflect the change and use its new icons.
Since the vast majority of message boxes should be modal, require
the parent window to be passed in, which can be nullptr for the
rare case that they don't. By it being the first argument, the
default arguments also don't need to be explicitly stated in most
cases, and it encourages passing in a parent window handle.
Fix up several message boxes that should have been modal.
During app teardown, the Application object may be destroyed before
something else, and so having Application::the() return a reference was
obscuring the truth about its lifetime.
This patch makes the API more honest by returning a pointer. While
this makes call sites look a bit more sketchy, do note that the global
Application pointer only becomes null during app teardown.
We now show a list of running processes that the user can choose from.
After choosing one, we start profiling it and show a timer with a stop
button that the user has to press to stop profiling.
