systrace: can't create /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_marker: No such file or directory

Question

I try to do a systrace of a react native app running on android:

/home/a/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/systrace/systrace.py --time=5 -o trace.html sched gfx view -a com.mypackage

This is the error I get, but trace_markers seem to be defect:

These categories are unavailable: sched
Starting tracing (5 seconds)
Tracing completed. Collecting output...

ValueError: Invalid trace result format for HTML output

How could I fix this?

React: 16.0.0-alpha.12
React Native: 0.48.2
Android: 7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1-20170607)

@ChiamakaNwolisa: no. A friend of mine did the systrace on his mac and send me the results. — Stuck, Jan 29 '18 at 10:44

The problem is：

IOError: Unable to get atrace data. Did you forget adb root?

Try this cmd：

python systrace.py -a com.example.myapp -b 16384 \
  -o my_systrace_report.html sched freq idle am wm gfx view binder_driver hal \
  dalvik camera input res
