The files in this directory help with testing Virgl on the virtio-gpu winsys
by means of Crosvm.
A whole environment will be built in a Docker image, then Mesa and Virglrenderer
will be built from local directories to be used both in the host and the guest.
The container image builds on top of other images built by scripts in the crosvm repository.
Instructions for building base images:
```console
$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/crosvm
$ pushd crosvm
$ sh docker/build_crosvm_base.sh
$ sh docker/build_crosvm.sh
```
Instructions for building target image:
```console
$ cd virglrenderer
$ sh perf-testing/build-dockerimage.sh
```
Instructions for running the container:
```console
$ cd virglrenderer
$ bash perf-testing/run_trace-in-container.sh \
--root $PATH_THAT_CONTAINS_MESA_CHECKOUT_VIRGLRENDERER_AND_TRACES_DB_CHECKOUT \
--trace $API_TRACE_TO_RUN
```
There are also options for run_trace-in-container.sh that allow specifying the
path to mesa, virglrenderer, and the traces db. These override the root path.
In addition, the root path defaults to the current working directory.
As a conveniance for shell autocompletion users running the script from the default
root that contains the traces db as subdirectory the the trace file name can be
also given with this traces db sudirectory name, i.e. if the traces db is located
in '$workdir/traces-db', root=$workdir, and the trace is calles 'sometrace.trace',
then both commands
```
perf-testing/run_trace-in-container.sh -r $rootdir -t traces-db/sometrace.trace
```
and
```
perf-testing/run_trace-in-container.sh -r $rootdir -t sometrace.trace
```
will work equally.
At the moment of writing, the branch perfetto-tracing is needed for mesa,
and the for virglrenderer at least commit 7db2faa354 is needed,
so these projects emit the required traces.
The perfetto traces will be saved to the a subdirectory of the traces-db checkout
directory with a name based on the api trace passed in with the --trace parameter.
Once the run_trace-in-container.sh script finishes, 3 Perfetto trace files will be written:
$(API_TRACE_TO_RUN%.*}-host.perfetto, $(API_TRACE_TO_RUN%.*}-guest.perfetto
and $(API_TRACE_TO_RUN%.*}-summary.perfetto. The last one is the fusion of the two first.
In order to visualize the traces, the Perfetto UI needs to be running in a local
service which can be started as follows:
```console
$ perf-testing/perfetto-ui.sh
```
The Perfetto UI can be loaded then on Chromium on the http://localhost:10000 address.
