سؤال

I know this is asked before but I am afraid "systrace uses atrace which extends ftrace, so check ftrace format here" is not enough for me. I am after more details on some systrace specific tag/formats. I have some guesses which I have little confidence on, thus I need somebody who really KNOW them to confirm/disconfirm.

Here is some results I found in trace.html.

Q1: Why does a "thread" come with different PID and sometimes get scheduled to run on different CPUs simultaneously, e.g. Thread-117? What does "thread" really mean here?

Q2: What does "prev_state" in "sched_switch" mean? What does "S,D,R,R+" refer to in this variable respectively?

Q3: "tracing_mark_write" uses B for begin, C for change and E for end. But E tag does not come with trace name. How to determine which B tag it corresponds to? Does it work in a call stack style LIFO? If so, that can only be guaranteed if a "thread" is a real thread that can not be split to run on two CPUs coherently. Which lead us back to Q1.

Any help is appreciated!

A1: It's showing you the thread name that you would see from ps -t on the device, which is set by the process. Unnamed Dalvik threads are named "Thread-N", where N is a serial number tracked by the Thread class (the same way the Binder thread pool created "Binder_1"). So the "117" in "Thread-117" has no relationship to the system pid or tid; it's just what the thread is called. It's not guaranteed to be unique -- you could have multiple instances in one process, or in separate processes.

A2: The states are the same as you'd see in ps output. See the Linux man page's "PROCESS STATE CODES" section:

   D    uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)
   R    running or runnable (on run queue)
   S    interruptible sleep (waiting for an event to complete)
   ...

A3: Yes, LIFO, for a single thread. This is matched by the public android.os.Trace API. (There is a different (non-public) API for "asynchronous" traces where you supply the same tag and "cookie" for start and end, but it's not used as widely.)
