18 * Memory reporters measure Firefox's memory usage. They are primarily used to

25 interface nsIHandleReportCallback : nsISupports
28 * The arguments to the callback are as follows.
31 * |process| The name of the process containing this reporter. Each
32 * reporter initially has "" in this field, indicating that it applies to the
33 * current process. (This is true even for reporters in a child process.)
34 * When a reporter from a child process is copied into the main process, the
35 * copy has its 'process' field set appropriately.
38 * |path| The path that this memory usage should be reported under. Paths
39 * are '/'-delimited, eg. "a/b/c".
41 * Each reporter can be viewed as representing a leaf node in a tree.
42 * Internal nodes of the tree don't have reporters. So, for example, the
43 * reporters "explicit/a/b", "explicit/a/c", "explicit/d/e", and
44 * "explicit/d/f" define this tree:
46 * explicit
47 * |--a
48 * | |--b [*]
49 * | \--c [*]
50 * \--d
51 * |--e [*]
52 * \--f [*]
54 * Nodes marked with a [*] have a reporter. Notice that the internal
55 * nodes are implicitly defined by the paths.
57 * Nodes within a tree should not overlap measurements, otherwise the
58 * parent node measurements will be double-counted. So in the example
59 * above, |b| should not count any allocations counted by |c|, and vice
60 * versa.
62 * All nodes within each tree must have the same units.
64 * If you want to include a '/' not as a path separator, e.g. because the
65 * path contains a URL, you need to convert each '/' in the URL to a '\'.
66 * Consumers of the path will undo this change. Any other '\' character
67 * in a path will also be changed. This is clumsy but hasn't caused any
68 * problems so far.
70 * The paths of all reporters form a set of trees. Trees can be
71 * "degenerate", i.e. contain a single entry with no '/'.
74 * |kind| There are three kinds of memory reporters.
76 * - HEAP: reporters measuring memory allocated by the heap allocator,
77 * e.g. by calling malloc, calloc, realloc, memalign, operator new, or
78 * operator new[]. Reporters in this category must have units
79 * UNITS_BYTES.
81 * - NONHEAP: reporters measuring memory which the program explicitly
82 * allocated, but does not live on the heap. Such memory is commonly
83 * allocated by calling one of the OS's memory-mapping functions (e.g.
84 * mmap, VirtualAlloc, or vm_allocate). Reporters in this category
85 * must have units UNITS_BYTES.
87 * - OTHER: reporters which don't fit into either of these categories.
88 * They can have any units.
90 * The kind only matters for reporters in the "explicit" tree;
91 * aboutMemory.js uses it to calculate "heap-unclassified".
94 * |units| The units on the reporter's amount. One of the following.
96 * - BYTES: The amount contains a number of bytes.
98 * - COUNT: The amount is an instantaneous count of things currently in
99 * existence. For instance, the number of tabs currently open would have
100 * units COUNT.
102 * - COUNT_CUMULATIVE: The amount contains the number of times some event
103 * has occurred since the application started up. For instance, the
104 * number of times the user has opened a new tab would have units
105 * COUNT_CUMULATIVE.
107 * The amount returned by a reporter with units COUNT_CUMULATIVE must
108 * never decrease over the lifetime of the application.
110 * - PERCENTAGE: The amount contains a fraction that should be expressed as
111 * a percentage. NOTE! The |amount| field should be given a value 100x
112 * the actual percentage; this number will be divided by 100 when shown.
113 * This allows a fractional percentage to be shown even though |amount| is
114 * an integer. E.g. if the actual percentage is 12.34%, |amount| should
115 * be 1234.
117 * Values greater than 100% are allowed.
120 * |amount| The numeric value reported by this memory reporter. Accesses
121 * can fail if something goes wrong when getting the amount.
124 * |description| A human-readable description of this memory usage report.
126 void callback(in ACString process, in AUTF8String path, in int32_t kind,
127 in int32_t units, in int64_t amount,
128 in AUTF8String description, in nsISupports data);
132 * An nsIMemoryReporter reports one or more memory measurements via a
133 * callback function which is called once for each measurement.
135 * An nsIMemoryReporter that reports a single measurement is sometimes called a
136 * "uni-reporter". One that reports multiple measurements is sometimes called
137 * a "multi-reporter".
139 * aboutMemory.js is the most important consumer of memory reports. It
140 * places the following constraints on reports.
142 * - All reports within a single sub-tree must have the same units.
144 * - There may be an "explicit" tree. If present, it represents
145 * non-overlapping regions of memory that have been explicitly allocated with
146 * an OS-level allocation (e.g. mmap/VirtualAlloc/vm_allocate) or a
147 * heap-level allocation (e.g. malloc/calloc/operator new). Reporters in
148 * this tree must have kind HEAP or NONHEAP, units BYTES.
150 * It is preferred, but not required, that report descriptions use complete
151 * sentences (i.e. start with a capital letter and end with a period, or
152 * similar).

318 * The memory reporter manager, for the most part, treats reporters
319 * registered with it as a black box. However, there are some
320 * "distinguished" amounts (as could be reported by a memory reporter) that
321 * the manager provides as attributes, because they are sufficiently
322 * interesting that we want external code (e.g. telemetry) to be able to rely
323 * on them.
325 * Note that these are not reporters and so getReports() does not look at
326 * them. However, distinguished amounts can be embedded in a reporter.
328 * Access to these attributes can fail. In particular, some of them are not
329 * available on all platforms.
331 * If you add a new distinguished amount, please update
332 * toolkit/components/aboutmemory/tests/test_memoryReporters.xul.
334 * |vsize| (UNITS_BYTES) The virtual size, i.e. the amount of address space
335 * taken up.
337 * |vsizeMaxContiguous| (UNITS_BYTES) The size of the largest contiguous
338 * block of virtual memory.
340 * |resident| (UNITS_BYTES) The resident size (a.k.a. RSS or physical memory
341 * used).
343 * |residentFast| (UNITS_BYTES) This is like |resident|, but on Mac OS
344 * |resident| can purge pages, which is slow. It also affects the result of
345 * |residentFast|, and so |resident| and |residentFast| should not be used
346 * together.
348 * |residentPeak| (UNITS_BYTES) The peak resident size.
350 * |residentUnique| (UNITS_BYTES) The unique set size (a.k.a. USS).
352 * |heapAllocated| (UNITS_BYTES) Memory mapped by the heap allocator.
354 * |heapOverheadFraction| (UNITS_PERCENTAGE) In the heap allocator, this is
355 * the fraction of committed heap bytes that are overhead. Like all
356 * UNITS_PERCENTAGE measurements, its amount is multiplied by 100x so it can
357 * be represented by an int64_t.
359 * |JSMainRuntimeGCHeap| (UNITS_BYTES) Size of the main JS runtime's GC
360 * heap.
362 * |JSMainRuntimeTemporaryPeak| (UNITS_BYTES) Peak size of the transient
363 * storage in the main JSRuntime.
365 * |JSMainRuntimeCompartments{System,User}| (UNITS_COUNT) The number of
366 * {system,user} compartments in the main JS runtime.
368 * |JSMainRuntimeRealms{System,User}| (UNITS_COUNT) The number of
369 * {system,user} realms in the main JS runtime.
371 * |imagesContentUsedUncompressed| (UNITS_BYTES) Memory used for decoded
372 * raster images in content.
374 * |storageSQLite| (UNITS_BYTES) Memory used by SQLite.
376 * |lowMemoryEventsPhysical| (UNITS_COUNT_CUMULATIVE)
377 * The number of low-physical-memory events that have occurred since the
378 * process started.
380 * |ghostWindows| (UNITS_COUNT) A cached value of the number of ghost
381 * windows. This should have been updated within the past 60s.
383 * |pageFaultsHard| (UNITS_COUNT_CUMULATIVE) The number of hard (a.k.a.
384 * major) page faults that have occurred since the process started.
