Remove stray doc references to valgrind.
We removed direct support for valgrind on linux quite some time ago, but apparently we missed a number of references in the docs. This CL removes them, to reduce confusion.

## Running layout tests under valgrind on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
As above, but use `tools/valgrind/chrome_tests.sh -t webkit` instead. e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
sh tools/valgrind/chrome_tests.sh -t webkit LayoutTests/fast/
|
||||
|
||||
This defaults to using --debug. Read the script for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're trying to reproduce a run from the valgrind buildbot, look for the
|
||||
`--run_chunk=XX:YY` line in the bot's log. You can rerun exactly as the bot did
|
||||
with the commands.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
cd ~/chromium/src
|
||||
echo XX > valgrind_layout_chunk.txt
|
||||
sh tools/valgrind/chrome_tests.sh -t layout -n YY
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That will run the XXth chunk of YY layout tests.

## Using valgrind
|
||||
|
||||
To run valgrind on the browser and renderer processes, with our suppression file
|
||||
and flags:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd $CHROMIUM_ROOT/src
|
||||
$ tools/valgrind/valgrind.sh out/Debug/chrome
|
||||
|
||||
You can use valgrind on chrome and/or on the renderers e.g
|
||||
`valgrind --smc-check=all ../sconsbuild/Debug/chrome`
|
||||
or by passing valgrind as the argument to `--render-cmd-prefix`.
|
||||
|
||||
Beware that there are several valgrind "false positives" e.g. pickle, sqlite and
|
||||
some instances in webkit that are ignorable. On systems with prelink and address
|
||||
space randomization (e.g. Fedora), you may also see valgrind errors in libstdc++
|
||||
on startup and in gnome-breakpad.
|
||||
|
||||
Valgrind doesn't seem to play nice with tcmalloc. To disable tcmalloc set the GN arg:
|
||||
|
||||
use_allocator="none"
|
||||
|
||||
and rebuild.

### Massif
|
||||
|
||||
[Massif](http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/mc-manual.html) is a
|
||||
[Valgrind](https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/using-valgrind)-based heap
|
||||
profiler. It is much slower than the heap profiler from google-perftools, but it
|
||||
may have some advantages. (In particular, it handles the multi-process
|
||||
executables well).
|
||||
|
||||
First, you will need to build massif from valgrind-variant project yourself,
|
||||
it's [easy](http://code.google.com/p/valgrind-variant/wiki/HowTo).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, make sure your Chromium is built using the
|
||||
[valgrind instructions](https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/using-valgrind).
|
||||
Now, you can run massif like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
path-to-valgrind-variant/valgrind/inst/bin/valgrind \
|
||||
--fullpath-after=/chromium/src/ \
|
||||
--trace-children-skip=*npviewer*,/bin/uname,/bin/sh,/usr/bin/which,/bin/ps,/bin/grep,/usr/bin/linux32 \
|
||||
--trace-children=yes \
|
||||
--tool=massif \
|
||||
out/Release/chrome --noerrdialogs --disable-hang-monitor --other-chrome-flags
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The result will be stored in massif.out.PID files, which you can post-process
|
||||
with [ms_print](http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/mc-manual.html).
|
||||
|
||||
TODO(kcc) sometimes when closing a tab the main process kills the tab process
|
||||
before massif completes writing it's log file. Need a flag that tells the main
|
||||
process to wait longer.
