Hi Steven, Ingo, Here is a rework of the last RFC [1] I posted. Its a a complete rewrite from scratch to be more upstream friendly.
Android systrace viewer heavily depends on the tgid to group tasks. tgid is also useful for analyzing traces and generating stats for groups of tasks. Basically in this approach I try to make sure there is no overhead in terms of runtime or space usage for existing users who don't need tgid. Only if the trace option is enabled will the tgid table which does the mapping be allocated and used. I tested these and they are showing good results so far, looking forward to getting your feedback and thoughts on them. Thank you.
