/*
* Event loop instrumentation. This code attempts to measure the
* latency of the UI-thread event loop by firing native events at it from
* a background thread, and measuring how long it takes for them
* to be serviced. The measurement interval (kMeasureInterval, below)
* is also used as the upper bound of acceptable response time.
* When an event takes longer than that interval to be serviced,
* a sample will be written to the log.
*
* Usage:
*
* Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP=1 in the environment to enable
* this instrumentation. Currently only the UI process is instrumented.
*
* Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP_OUTPUT in the environment to a
* file path to contain the log output, the default is to log to stdout.
*
* Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP_THRESHOLD in the environment to an
* integer number of milliseconds to change the threshold for reporting.
* The default is 20 milliseconds. Unresponsive periods shorter than this
* threshold will not be reported.
*
* Set MOZ_INSTRUMENT_EVENT_LOOP_INTERVAL in the environment to an
* integer number of milliseconds to change the maximum sampling frequency.
* This variable controls how often events will be sent to the main
* thread's event loop to sample responsiveness. The sampler will not
* send events twice within LOOP_INTERVAL milliseconds.
* The default is 10 milliseconds.
*
* All logged output lines start with MOZ_EVENT_TRACE. All timestamps
* output are milliseconds since the epoch (PRTime / 1000).
*
* On startup, a line of the form:
* MOZ_EVENT_TRACE start <timestamp>
* will be output.
*
* On shutdown, a line of the form:
* MOZ_EVENT_TRACE stop <timestamp>
* will be output.
*
* When an event servicing time exceeds the threshold, a line of the form:
* MOZ_EVENT_TRACE sample <timestamp> <duration>
* will be output, where <duration> is the number of milliseconds that
* it took for the event to be serviced.
