Background context:go/memory-infra: memory profiling in chrome://tracing
Copying this from Issue 661504. Comment #27 is spot-on, we should:
1) Have all the docs in a consistent place
2) Have them linked from the traceviewer UI and results.html page.

There were no tooltips for me in traces; no idea what I needed to hover over. But https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/cc/memory.md was really really helpful.
It would be wonderful if everything in memory infra, and perf test graphs etc, would link to some documentation like that. The general "what is this value" is a very common first question for me when I get assigned a perf regression.
