1421651 - Remove docshell markers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Gecko Profiler, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Greg Tatum [:gregtatum]]

The docshell markers need to be removed after we've migrated to the new performance recording panel. This is the bug to track that work.

Greg, can you add some background about why we want to do this?

Comment 2

[Greg Tatum [:gregtatum]]

docshell markers are collected via references to the docshell. This is really nice because it's easy to associate a given event with a particular website. The DevTools performance tool uses these, and created a competing implementation with the Gecko Profiler markers. It would be nice to unify these approaches and only have one implementation of markers.

We might need to have a broader conversation to figure out exactly how to accomplish this, as the docshell markers are nice in that they can be targeted at one particular docshell, while the Gecko Profiler ones are associated per content process. It would be nice to do some investigation on figuring out how to get some kind of docshell ID in the marker payloads of the Gecko Profiles. See bug 1417976.

The Firefox Profiler markers now have information about the content they relate to. I believe we can remove docshell markers now as I don't think there's any consumer left.

Of course it would be good while doing that that we also have existing equivalent Firefox Profiler markers.

This patch removes the old docshell timeline AutoTimelineMarker from the codebase and replaces it with an equivalent Gecko profiler marker. This patch also fixes Bug 1834143, which is a subset of 1421651.

This patch adds an API to count the number of restyles triggered by animations. This API will replace the existing timeline marker based testing of the animation/restyle system.

The above commit only adds the facilities required to enable removal, unfortunately. Re-opening while waiting for D184217, which will definitively close this.
