Add event annotations and software-generated counters to your code, which are propagated into the Timeline view and Log view.
Annotation macros are defined in streamline_annotate.h and gator_annotate.h.
There are two types of annotations, user space annotations and kernel space annotations:
User space annotations are for annotating your application. Streamline supports the following types of user space annotations:
String
Visual
Marker
Custom counters
Groups and channels
Custom Activity Maps (CAM)
Kernel annotations send annotations to gatord from a kernel context, using Linux ftrace as the transport mechanism. Kernel annotations are defined in <install_directory>/sw/streamline/gator/trace/event/gator_annotate.h.
