Module Mavkit_smart_rollup_wasm_debugger_lib.Profiling

Call stack representation and construction.

The call stack computation algorithm is the following:

There are two components: the current node (or stack frame) and the continuation (a list of stack frames). There's a "toplevel node" describing the execution at the toplevel of the interpreter. A node contains:

Note that for the rest of the algorithm, `time` will be eluded as its computation is equivalent to the ticks.

The algorithm starts with an empty toplevel and an empty continuation.

Let's take an example: call: f () { ...... g () { .... h () { ...... } .......... } ......... } tick: 0 ----------> 10 -------> 30 ---------> 60 --------> 100 -----> 160 10 ticks 20 ticks 30 ticks 40 ticks 60 ticks

T (nodes) : toplevel K : continuation (list) N : current node (N(id) means it hasn't changed from previous step)

N, K |- exec

Start: T, |- f () { g () { h () { } } } ==> at tick 0 N (f, 0, ), T |- g () { h () { } } } ==> at tick 10 N (g, 10, ), N (f, 10 - 0 = 10, []); T |- h () { } } } ==> at tick 30 N (h, 30, ), N (g, 30 - 10 = 20, []); N(f); T |- } } } ==> at tick 60 N (g, 60 - 20 = 40, N (h, 60 - 30 = 30, [])), N(f); T |- } } ==> at tick 100 N (f, 100 - 10 = 90, N (g, 100 - 40 = 60, [N(h)])), T |- } ==> at tick 160 T N (f, 160 - 90 = 70, [N(g, 60, [N(h, 30, [])])]), |- _

val call_function : 'a -> Z.t -> (unit -> Ptime.span option) -> 'b call_stack -> 'c call_stack list -> 'd call_stack * 'c call_stack list

call_function called_function current_tick current_function call_stack implements a function start. Please refere to the prelude of the module.

Profiling the execution of the PVM

type function_call =
  1. | Function of string
  2. | CallDirect of int32
  3. | CallRef of int32
  4. | Internal of string

A function call can be either a direct call, a call through a reference or an internal step of the PVM.

val pp_call : Stdlib.Format.formatter -> function_call -> unit
val initial_eval_call : function_call

initial_eval_call is `kernel_run` function call.

val update_on_decode : Z.t -> (unit -> Ptime.span option) -> ('a call_stack * 'a call_stack list) -> Mavryk_webassembly_interpreter.Decode.module_kont -> (function_call call_stack * 'a call_stack list) option Lwt.t

update_on_decode current_tick current_call_state starts and stop `internal` calls related to the Decode step of the PVM.

update_on_link current_tick current_call_state starts and stop `internal` call to the Link step of the PVM.

val update_on_init : Z.t -> (unit -> Ptime.span option) -> ('a call_stack * 'a call_stack list) -> Mavryk_webassembly_interpreter.Eval.init_kont -> (function_call call_stack * 'a call_stack list) option Lwt.t

update_on_init current_tick current_call_state starts and stop `internal` call to the Init step of the PVM.

val update_on_instr : Z.t -> (unit -> Ptime.span option) -> 'a call_stack -> 'a call_stack list -> string Custom_section.FuncMap.t -> Mavryk_webassembly_interpreter.Eval.admin_instr' -> (function_call call_stack * 'a call_stack list) option Lwt.t

update_on_instr current_tick current_node call_stack handle function calls during the evaluation.

val update_on_eval : Z.t -> (unit -> Ptime.span option) -> (function_call call_stack * function_call call_stack list) -> string Custom_section.FuncMap.t -> Mavryk_webassembly_interpreter.Eval.step_kont -> (function_call call_stack * function_call call_stack list) option Lwt.t

update_on_eval current_tick current_call_state handle function calls and end during the evaluation.

val update_call_stack : Z.t -> (unit -> Ptime.span option) -> (function_call call_stack * function_call call_stack list) -> string Custom_section.FuncMap.t -> Mavryk_scoru_wasm.Wasm_pvm_state.Internal_state.tick_state -> (function_call call_stack * function_call call_stack list) option Lwt.t

update_call_stack current_tick current_state_call symbols state returns the call state changes for any state. Returns None if no change happened.

Flamegraph building

Flamegraph are an aggregation of all the same callstacks, thus there is no longer a notion of time. We can easily collapse all nodes into a single one.

module StringMap : sig ... end
val collapse_stack : max_depth:int -> (Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a -> unit) -> 'b call_stack -> (StringMap.key * Z.t) list

collapse_stack ~max_depth pp_call call_stack collapses a call stack into a valid flamegraph. Node deeper than max_depth are not considered. pp_call is used to print the identifiers.

Pretty printing and flamegraph output

val pp_indent : Stdlib.Format.formatter -> int -> unit

pp_indent ppf depth prints an indentation corresponding to the given depth.

val pp_time_opt : Stdlib.Format.formatter -> Ptime.span option -> unit
val pp_nodes : ?max_depth:int -> int -> (Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a -> unit) -> Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'b call_stack list -> unit
val pp_stack : ?max_depth:int -> (Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a -> unit) -> Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a call_stack -> unit

pp_stack ~max_depth ppf stack pretty prints the stack. It should be used for debug only.

val pp_flame_callstack_node : prefix:string -> depth:int -> max_depth:int -> (Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a -> unit) -> Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'b call_stack -> unit
val pp_flame_callstack_nodes : prefix:string -> depth:int -> max_depth:int -> (Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a -> unit) -> Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'b call_stack list -> unit
val pp_callstack_as_flamegraph : max_depth:int -> (Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a -> unit) -> Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a call_stack -> unit

pp_callstack_as_flamegraph if pp_stack with the syntax of flamegraphs.

val pp_collapsed_flamegraph : max_depth:int -> (Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a -> unit) -> Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a call_stack -> unit

pp_flamegraph collapses the stack and print it as a valid flamegraph.

val pp_flamegraph : collapse:bool -> max_depth:int -> (Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a -> unit) -> Stdlib.Format.formatter -> 'a call_stack -> unit

pp_flamegraph ~collapsed ~max_depth pp_call ppf call_stack outputs the given call_stack with its `flamegraph` representation. If collapse = true, the stacks are collapsed. This can be useful to output smaller files, but the stack cannot be analyzed on a time basis (i.e. as a flamechart).

val aggregate_toplevel_time_and_ticks : 'a call_stack -> ('b * Z.t * Ptime.span option) list

aggregate_toplevel_time_and_ticks ~call_stack counts the time and ticks spent in each toplevel phases during an execution.

val full_ticks_and_time : ('a * Z.t * Ptime.span option) list -> Z.t * Ptime.span option
val pp_ticks_and_time : Stdlib.Format.formatter -> (function_call * Z.t * Ptime.span option) -> unit
