/*
 * 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. Duration may contain a fractional
 * component.
