     1.9 + * Event loop instrumentation. This code attempts to measure the
    1.10 + * latency of the UI-thread event loop by firing native events at it from
    1.11 + * a background thread, and measuring how long it takes for them
    1.12 + * to be serviced. The measurement interval (kMeasureInterval, below)
    1.13 + * is also used as the upper bound of acceptable response time.
    1.14 + * When an event takes longer than that interval to be serviced,
    1.15 + * a sample will be written to the log.
    1.16 + *
    1.17 + * Usage:
    1.18 + *
    1.19 + * Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP=1 in the environment to enable
    1.20 + * this instrumentation. Currently only the UI process is instrumented.
    1.21 + *
    1.22 + * Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP_OUTPUT in the environment to a
    1.23 + * file path to contain the log output, the default is to log to stdout.
    1.24 + *
    1.25 + * Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP_THRESHOLD in the environment to an
    1.26 + * integer number of milliseconds to change the threshold for reporting.
    1.27 + * The default is 20 milliseconds. Unresponsive periods shorter than this
    1.28 + * threshold will not be reported.
    1.29 + *
    1.30 + * Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP_INTERVAL in the environment to an
    1.31 + * integer number of milliseconds to change the maximum sampling frequency.
    1.32 + * This variable controls how often events will be sent to the main
    1.33 + * thread's event loop to sample responsiveness. The sampler will not
    1.34 + * send events twice within LOOP_INTERVAL milliseconds.
    1.35 + * The default is 10 milliseconds.
    1.36 + *
    1.37 + * All logged output lines start with MOZ_EVENT_TRACE. All timestamps
    1.38 + * output are milliseconds since the epoch (PRTime / 1000).
    1.39 + *
    1.40 + * On startup, a line of the form:
    1.41 + *   MOZ_EVENT_TRACE start <timestamp>
    1.42 + * will be output.
    1.43 + *
    1.44 + * On shutdown, a line of the form:
    1.45 + *   MOZ_EVENT_TRACE stop <timestamp>
    1.46 + * will be output.
    1.47 + *
    1.48 + * When an event servicing time exceeds the threshold, a line of the form:
    1.49 + *   MOZ_EVENT_TRACE sample <timestamp> <duration>
    1.50 + * will be output, where <duration> is the number of milliseconds that
    1.51 + * it took for the event to be serviced. Duration may contain a fractional
    1.52 + * component.
