Description
This PR splits
vkCmd*recorded commands into their own CPU timing category (VulkanCPUTiming/VkCmd), separating them from otherVkCommandBufferoperations (such asvkBeginCommandBufferandvkEndCommandBuffer).Motivation
Previously, all
VkCommandBufferrelated calls were grouped under a single Perfetto category (VulkanCPUTiming/VkCommandBuffer). Enabling this category meant tracing every single recorded command (e.g.,vkCmdDraw,vkCmdBindPipeline), which introduces massive CPU overhead and drastically inflates trace sizes due to their very high frequency during frame recording.By splitting recorded commands into a distinct
VkCmdcategory, users can now selectively trace important command buffer lifecycle operations (likeBeginandEnd) using the existingVkCommandBuffercategory. This allows for logging important buffer commands without incurring the huge performance penalty of tracing every individualvkCmd*call, unless explicitly needed.
