Add stopwatch timer mechanism to Trace2. Timers are an alternative to Trace2 Regions. Regions are useful for measuring the time spent in various computation phases, such as the time to read the index, time to scan for unstaged files, time to scan for untracked files, and etc. However, regions are not appropriate in all places. For example, during a checkout, it would be very inefficient to use regions to measure the total time spent inflating objects from the ODB from across the entire lifetime of the process; a per-unzip() region would flood the output and significantly slow the command; and some form of post-processing would be requried to compute the time spent in unzip(). Timers can be used to measure a series of timer intervals and emit a single summary event (at thread and/or process exit).

/*
|
|
* Define a mechanism to allow "stopwatch" timers.
|
|
*
|
|
* Timers can be used to measure "interesting" activity that does not
|
|
* fit the "region" model, such as code called from many different
|
|
* regions (like zlib) and/or where data for individual calls are not
|
|
* interesting or are too numerous to be efficiently logged.
|
|
*
|
|
* Timer values are accumulated during program execution and emitted
|
|
* to the Trace2 logs at program exit.
|
|
*
|
|
* To make this model efficient, we define a compile-time fixed set of
|
|
* timers and timer ids using a "timer block" array in thread-local
|
|
* storage. This gives us constant time access to each timer within
|
|
* each thread, since we want start/stop operations to be as fast as
|
|
* possible. This lets us avoid the complexities of dynamically
|
|
* allocating a timer on the first use by a thread and/or possibly
|
|
* sharing that timer definition with other concurrent threads.
|
|
* However, this does require that we define time the set of timers at
|
|
* compile time.
|
|
*
|
|
* Each thread uses the timer block in its thread-local storage to
|
|
* compute partial sums for each timer (without locking). When a
|
|
* thread exits, those partial sums are (under lock) added to the
|
|
* global final sum.
|
|
*
|
|
* Using this "timer block" model costs ~48 bytes per timer per thread
|
|
* (we have about six uint64 fields per timer). This does increase
|
|
* the size of the thread-local storage block, but it is allocated (at
|
|
* thread create time) and not on the thread stack, so I'm not worried
|
|
* about the size.
|
|
*
|
|
* Partial sums for each timer are optionally emitted when a thread
|
|
* exits.
|
|
*
|
|
* Final sums for each timer are emitted between the "exit" and
|
|
* "atexit" events.
|
|
*
|
|
* A parallel "timer metadata" table contains the "category" and "name"
|
|
* fields for each timer. This eliminates the need to include those
|
|
* args in the various timer APIs.
