Firefox is consuming an excessive amount of CPU resources while idling on Facebook compared to other browsers (see URL). The following trace seems to be the culprit:

We should break in the code that schedule the timer. This should let us know what mutation is causing this.

The refresh driver is schedule when something when a new frame is (potentially) required. Sometimes we know ahead of time that we're going to produce something identical and stop.

Understanding what is causing is refresh driver to trigger in the first place is a good first step.
The culprit for the RefreshDriverTimer::Tick seems to be the css class _55ym:

<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            ._55ym{animation:rotateSpinner 1.2s linear infinite}
            @keyframes rotateSpinner{0%{transform:rotate(0deg)} 100%{transform:rotate(360deg)}}
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <span class="_55ym">
        </span>
    </body>
</html>

The _55ym class is used to animate the spinning wheels on the left toolbar of Facebook. The wheels are visible only when the user clicks on one of the menu items and the content is being loaded though.
Is the refresh driver ticking even when the animation is trivially hidden?

If so that's a bug and should be fix. We can compute if something is not visible and should be able to keep the refresh driver off. Nice find.
Right, there is no visible animation but refresh driver gets scheduled anyway.
See the animation in Comment 4. Can we get someone from Layout to look at optimizing how CSS animations trigger the refresh driver? We should avoid scheduling the timer for no change animations.
Flags: needinfo?(roc)
Summary: High power consumption on Facebook while idling → [Power] Invisible CSS animations activate the refresh driver
Note that the refresh driver ticks even when the animation is trivially hidden, e.g.:

<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            ._5tqs{display: none;}
            ._55ym{animation:rotateSpinner 1.2s linear infinite}
            @keyframes rotateSpinner{0%{transform:rotate(0deg)} 100%{transform:rotate(360deg)}}

    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="_55ym _5tqs">foo</div>
    </body>
</html>

There are two possible optimizations here: 
1) Don't tick when the animation is not visible
2) Don't tick when a visible animation is not going to produce a delta in the frame buffer (e.g. Comment 4)

For this particular bug addressing 1) should fix the issue.

Animations can affect layout even without affecting what's painted, and that's observable from script.  So optimizing out animations that are not on display:none stuff without breaking compat is pretty tough.
Yeah, I suspect we want to go with something along the lines of (1) -- something like: "Don't tell the refresh driver about animations for an element IF that element's (un-animated) computed 'display' is none, and also there are currently no animations on its 'display' value."

This might want to happen in nsAnimationManager::GetElementAnimations() (e.g. maybe don't call AddElementData there), or in a related function.

We also probably need to also worry about SMIL animations, which could be another way of actually-showing something with un-animated "display:none"... Maybe as a fast pass, we could check if there are any SMIL animations targeting the element at all.
s/fast pass/quick and easy hack/
We could probably do something for animations in a display:none subtree, involving keeping the animations in the animation manager but not updating them -- especially if we can depend on the element not having a persistent style context.
One other note.  The testcase in comment 8 in fact has an observable effect: if you query the computed "transform" of the object, it should change over time as the animation progresses.  So either that needs to tick the refresh driver to update the style or we need to somehow update it when getComputedStyle happens or something...
Here's a live testcase, based on comment 8. It's got a (short) delay before the animation is applied, so you can watch (in a debugger) when we register as a refresh observer & start ticking.

Tagging dbaron instead of roc [to pick an assignee], since I believe style-system / animations are more his area of expertise.  (This came up in the Platform meeting today, too, as something that Power folks are looking for help on.)

Roberto you know that we do worse on power usage on this page. But do you know if other browsers optimize away the timer or are they just more efficient at returning early from their refresh timer?

If it's the later then perhaps the problem is easier to optimize. We might just have to get better at returning faster.

I don't think that'll do it; if I recall correctly from other bugs, it's the frequent wakeups that are responsible for the power usage in cases like this (even if they're short).  They never let the CPU get into a lower power state, or something like that.
I don't think so either. But it's probably worth checking this assumption before we take on a potentially difficult bug. Unless this bug is easy, then we should do just do it.
In the Facebook case, is the offending animation actually in a display:none subtree?
See comment 8. Not a subtree in that case but it has both the animation and display none.
Robert's question was whether comment 8 is actually an accurate representation of what's going on with the original page this bug was filed on or whether it's a synthetic testcase.

Chrome optimizes away the timer. Returning early wouldn't really help though in terms of power usage (see Daniel's comment).

Comment 8 is an accurate representation of what's causing the issue with Facebook.
It looks like they simply don't apply animations at all to display:none elements.  It's not clear to me that this is actually spec-compliant...  David?
Per conversation with bz in IRC, we have (at least) two options here:

 (a) Change the spec (and our implementation) to match the Chrome behavior, so that animations on properties in a 'display:none' subtree have no effect (except perhaps for animations targeting the 'display' property itself).

 (b) Optimize our current behavior by lazily computing animations on elements inside of a 'display:none' subtree (again, probably excluding the 'display' property itself).  Store such animations in a separate list on the animation manager, without letting them prompt the refresh driver to tick. (but if the refresh driver is already ticking for other reasons, we might as well sample them with everything else). And then -- whenever getComputedStyle() is called, flush these animations. (That's the lazy part.)  (and perhaps skip the flush if we had a refresh driver tick or a flush "recently".)
(In reply to Daniel Holbert [:dholbert] from comment #25)

Sorry to nitpick but ideally i'd be best to behave the same way regardless and not sample them at all. This way if we think an animation has no impact then it stop regardless. This make bugs where we incorrectly disable an animation obvious. Otherwise you get a bug that only reproduces if we're not painting.

Sure, that would work.

The reason I'm suggesting sampling them during not-requested-by-us ticks is
 (a) it should be low-cost -- as long as we're already taking the hit of ticking the refresh driver (for something else), the marginal cost of sampling these animations is minimal
 (b) it will let us keep getComputedStyle() more efficient (no need to worry about flushing these animations there, if we've had a recent tick().

I don't understand what the hypothetical bug you're talking about would look like.

These animations shouldn't have any observable effect, since they're by definition in content that doesn't render.

(except via getComputedStyle, which will only have a slight observable difference -- whether it reports the animation as of the last tick (if we have other animations running; note that this is the current behavior) or whether it reports the up-to-the-millisecond animation state (if no other animations are running & hence no ticks are happening).

I agree that we should probably prioritize this, and I also agree that this is unlikely to be fixable for 2.1 (since a patch here is likely to involve some risk, and hence would be scary to backport).

I'm told that 2.2 will be based on gecko36 or later, so I think we've got ~12 weeks, if this is targeted for 2.2.

I'll bring this up with dbaron in our 1:1 next week.

For display:none, we shouldn't be running animations on display:none subtrees at all, per recent changes to CSS animations. See bug 984850 comment 5 and 6.

This didn't work for me.

For FF 35.0.1, I see between 33-37 "Energy Impact" in Activity Monitor on OSX 10.10.2.
For FF 38.0.1 (nightly) with e10s, I see between 4.5-5.7 "Energy Impact" with the same profile.

To test, I created a clean profile and loaded twitter and left it untouched until the energy impact settled down after a few seconds.
I believe twitter's energy problem is related to animated images, not CSS animations.  (At least it used to be.)

If I'm understanding [1] and [2] correctly, setting display:none should stop the animation entirely. If somebody can outline where to fix this I can probably rustle up some spare cycles to write the patch.

[2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Nov/0709.html
layout/style/nsAnimationManager.cpp is where we actually create the animations. We create the whole set of animations in BuildAnimations then compare it to the existing set (in CheckAnimationRule) and cancel any animations that are in the old list but not the new one. So simply updating BuildAnimations might be enough.

Regarding events, I think that will give us the behavior we want--i.e. no 'animationend' event if you set display:none part-way through. In the future we'll probably add an 'animationcancel' event for that. If you set display:block part-way through, the animation should restart which is also the behaviour that will just fall out of updating BuildAnimations.

The bigger issue is probably around invisible animations. For compositor animations, when the target is offscreen we don't create a layer and hence we can't run it on the compositor and throttle it so we keep ticking the refresh driver and use more power when the animation is invisible than when it is visible. Or at least I think that was the issue. I think dbaron had some ideas for this but I think he was also waiting to finish some other refactoring first.

I think you need to check whether any of the ancestor nsStyleContexts are display:none as well, too.

Also, we need to consider what happens if we *use an animation* to set an element's 'display' property to none. (I assume you can do that.)  The links in comment 51 don't really say. Seems like we'd get into a catch-22, where we stop applying animations because we're "display:none"; but the reason we're display:none is *because* of an animation... so maybe that means our animation is no longer applied & we go back to display:block again... but then we can be animated again so we reapply our animation and go back to display:none?

Updated patch. I assumed we would want to cache the display:none rather than walking up the style context ancestor chain every time. I'm unsure though if the cache needs recomputing when nsStyleContext::MoveTo is called - it doesn't look like the other bits get reset when that happens.

Thankfully [1] doesn't say display is animatable (thereby implying it is not). Good thing, too, or you'd have to implement ease-in transitions between display:none and display:block!

Yeah -- I'd expect we'd need to check the new parent after MoveTo, though I'm not sure either. It does seem like there are some other bits (like the INLINE_DESCENDANT_OF_RUBY one) should be updated if MoveTo is called; that may be a bug.

Ah, nice. I'd thought that maybe CSS animations allowed you to interpolate between keywords in stepwise manner, but I guess not.

However, SVG SMIL animation *does* allow you to animate "display"[1], http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/propidx.html -- and we have that encoded into Gecko at [2].  We manage SMIL animations separately from CSS animations right now (not via this BuildAnimations call, AFAIK) -- but when we someday make all animations share a common implementation (via a single grand Web Animations backend), we'll have to worry about this problem a bit more...

[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/painting.html#DisplayProperty (see "Animatable: yes")
[2] http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/smil/nsSMILCSSProperty.cpp#186


Anyway, the patch looks OK to me (perhaps birtles or heycam should review, when you're ready for full review).  Nits below, all around a central theme:

Also: The use of "Descendant" is slightly misleading here, since we're including the "I myself am 'display:none'" scenario, and I am *not* a "descendant" of myself. I'd suggest changing to use the term "display:none subtree", e.g. IsInDisplayNoneSubtree() and NS_STYLE_IN_DISPLAY_NONE_SUBTREE.

Don't forget to bump NS_STYLE_CONTEXT_TYPE_SHIFT when adding a new style context bit.

We should not be calling MoveTo if the bits differ; that is handled by comparing the bits in ElementRestyler::ComputeRestyleResultFromNewContext.  Might be good to have an assertion in MoveTo, though, that the old and new parents agree on these flags bits.

While you could recompute the NS_STYLE_IN_DISPLAY_NONE_SUBTREE bits in MoveTo, it's probably not worth it, so just add another check to ComputeRestyleResultFromNewContext.
Normally we won't even construct style contexts for descendants of display:none elements -- unless somebody asks for computed style on them.  So I wonder if there's a better way that doesn't use up a bit on the style context.  Then again, now that we've switched to 64-bits there, we're probably a little less constrained.

That said, there's a working group resolution in https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Oct/0290.html that changes that, since it makes all non-interpolable properties settable by animations.  (It's not clear if it's going to end up being Web-compatible.)



At some point we should also fix this for visual-only properties that are offscreen.  That might lead to a stronger fix that allows this one to be removed.

So I made all the changes in comments 57-58, including the MoveTo assertion, and pushed to try [1].

The try push shows crashes on the assert that I added. I reproduced it locally and it looks like MoveTo is getting called in a scenario where the two parents have a different value for the NS_STYLE_HAS_TEXT_DECORATION_LINES bit. Is that expected? Maybe my assertion was checking the wrong bits? See [2] for what I did.

Actually, ignore that.  Since this bug is also fixing things to match a statement in the spec, not building animations should be the right fix here, whereas the work for visual-only properties would be an optimization that changes mNeedsRefreshes but doesn't change whether we build animations.

That said, given that there's spec prose here, there should probably be some relevant tests in test_animations.html to test it too!

That may well be a regression from bug 931668.  The optimization for bug 931668 should probably get disabled if the text-decoration bit is different or if your new display-none bit is different.

Though ElementRestyler::ComputeRestyleResultFromNewContext looks like it already checks the text-decoration bit.  Presumably it should also check your new bit.  That doesn't explain the assertion, though.
If I remove the NS_STYLE_HAS_TEXT_DECORATION_LINES from the assert check, there's still another call to MoveTo that's bad, resulting the Android crashtest failure on this try push:

I don't think I'll be able to reproduce this one locally.
Attached patch PatchSplinter Review
I decided to just check my new bit in the assert, since technically that's what my patch cares about. If we want to add other bits to the assert we can do that in follow-up patches.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This looks good.  I am also not sure about those assertion failures in the previous patches you pushed to try.  They look like a real problem -- can you file a bug for that (or mention it in the followup bug you file for expanding |mask| to cover more flags)?

We really need some tests for this, too, before we land it.

Whiteboard: [possible solution in comment 25 part b]
I filed bug 1142531 for adding the asserts into MoveTo and fixing the failures, or otherwise dealing with that problem.

Part 2 - Tests

Review of attachment 8576681 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This looks good, but can you also add a subtest that checks this behaviour on a child of a display:none element?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe use a helper function in test_animations_omta.html too to keep the files more similar?
Attachment #8577232 - Flags: review?(cam) → review+
I wanted to do that but the yields made it non-trivial to do and it was cleaner to just have two separate test functions.
