| Unreleased:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Android perf profiler ("linux.perf" data source) and Java heap snapshots
 | |
|       ("android.java_hprof") now support a single wildcard (*) in the config
 | |
|       options that name process command lines to target.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:

| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v25.0 - 2022-04-01:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Added prebuilts for mac-arm64.
 | |
|     * Removed merged trace and config protos from Bazel. Embedder should
 | |
|       instead depend on the non-merged proto targets.
 | |
|     * Added FtraceConfig.disable_generic_events. If set, the ftrace data source
 | |
|       will not emit events for which it doesn't have a compile-time proto
 | |
|       message.
 | |
|     * Added ingestion support for cros_ec (CrOS sensors) ftrace events.
 | |
|     * Added ingestion support for kvm trace events.
 | |
|     * Added reporting of atrace failures. Now they are bubbled up to the UI
 | |
|       rather than causing atrace data to be silently missing.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Added prebuilts for mac-arm64.
 | |
|     * Changed LIKE comparisions to be case-insenstive. This reverts the change
 | |
|       introduced in v22. GLOB should be used where case senstive searches are
 | |
|       desired; built-in metrics continue to require the use of GLOB.
 | |
|     * Added an optional dependency from trace processor onto a subset of
 | |
|       sources from llvm-project for function name demangling. Bazel embedders
 | |
|       might need to update their PERFETTO_CONFIG in perfetto_cfg.bzl to opt in
 | |
|       or out of the new dependency. See
 | |
|       perfetto/bazel/standalone/perfetto_cfg.bzl for details.
 | |
|   UI:
 | |
|     * Added flow arrows between binder transaction pairs (request/reply
 | |
|       and async send/async recv).
 | |
|   SDK:
 | |
|     * Added support for writing typed proto messages inside DebugAnnotations.
 | |
|     * Added support for delta encoding of timestamps for TrackEvents.
 | |
|       To disable it, refer to `disable_incremental_timestamps` flag in
 | |
|       `track_event_config.proto`.
 | |
|   Tools:
 | |
|     * Added support of gzip-compressed traces to traceconv.
 | |
|     * Changed `traceconv text` to use an internal proto->pbtx converter rather
 | |
|       than relying on libprotobuf. It could cause some small divergencies in the
 | |
|       output format vs past releases.
 | |
|     * Added tools/cpu_profile helper script to capture traces with callstack
 | |
|       samples.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v24.2 - 2022-02-10:
 | |
|   SDK:
 | |
|     * Revert of incremental timestamps, introduced in v24.0.
 | |
|       Some clients were depending on non-incremental timestamps.
 | |
|       Future releases will re-enable this but offer an opt-out.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v24.1 - 2022-02-09:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Fixed build failures on Windows.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Fixed build failures on Windows.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v24.0 - 2022-02-08:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Added "cpufreq_period_ms" in data source "linux.sys_stats" to poll
 | |
|       /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq periodically.
 | |
|     * Added support for Trusty TEE workqueue events.
 | |
|     * Added support for more PMU events in traced_perf.
 | |
|     * Changed output format of perfetto --query. Made the output more compact
 | |
|       and added a summary of ongoing tracing sessions for the caller UID.
 | |
|     * Changed timeout for traced stall detection from 2s to 4s.
 | |
|     * Changed internal buffer management to split trace filtering in smaller
 | |
|       tasks and avoid too large memory allocation when filtering.
 | |
|     * Fixed a bug that could cause producers to see Flush() requests after an
 | |
|       OnStop() and mis-behave if the tracing session is extremely short.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Added support for passing multiple SQL statements to ExecuteQuery(). All
 | |
|       queries will be executed fully, with the returned iterator yielding rows
 | |
|       for the final statement.
 | |
|     * Added support for multi-line SQL comments; previously only single line
 | |
|       comments were supported.
 | |
|   UI:
 | |
|     * Added support for parsing instant events from legacy systrace formats.
 | |
|     * Added ingestion and visualization for inet_sock_set_state and
 | |
|       tcp_retransmit_skb events, showing TCP connections on dedicated tracks.
 | |
|     * Changed HTTP+RPC to use the /websocket endpoint available in newer
 | |
|       versions of trace_processor --httpd.
 | |
|     * Changed text selection/copy: now allowed by default for DOM elements.
 | |
|     * Changed search to also lookup slices by ID when the term is a number.
 | |
|     * Changed postMessage() API, suppressed confirmation dialog when the opener
 | |
|       is in the same origin, for cases when the UI is self-hosted.
 | |
|   SDK:
 | |
|     * Changed timestamps emitted by the SDK to be incremental by default, using
 | |
|       ClockSnapshot + TracePacketDefaults.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v23.0 - 2022-01-11:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Added workaround for a kernel ftrace bug causing some "comm" fields to be
 | |
|       not null-terminated. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f0a5157803 .
 | |
|     * Added ability to talk to the newer AIDL-based health hal in traced_probes.
 | |
|       It still falls back on the older HIDL interface for older devices.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Changed the argument for the trace path in constructor of TraceProcessor
 | |
|       in the Python API from |file_path| to |trace|.
 | |
|       |file_path| is deprecated and may be removed in the future.
 | |
|     * Changed the Python API constructor. Now it takes a TraceProcessorConfig
 | |
|       instead of passing parameters directly. This may break existing code
 | |
|       but migration should be trivial (all current options are still
 | |
|       supported).
 | |
|     * Fixed a HTTP keepalive bug in trace_processor --httpd. The bug, introduced
 | |
|       in v22.0, caused each RPC request to close the connection, effectively
 | |
|       defeating the 'Connection: Keep-Alive', after each query made by the UI.
 | |
|     * Added parsing of netif_receive_skb events from proto traces.
 | |
|     * Added android_netperf metric based on netif events.
 | |
|     * Fixed a bug that would cause fetch errors when loading traces > 32 MB when
 | |
|       using trace_processor --httpd.
 | |
|     * Added a workaround to tokenize properly /proc/pid/cmdline for chrome
 | |
|       processes on Linux/CrOS. Chrome rewrites its cmdline replacing \0 -> ' '.

| 
 | |
| v22.1 - 2021-12-07:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Added workaround for a Linux kernel bug causing some ftrace strings to
 | |
|       be non-null-terminated (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f0a5157).
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Fixed build failures on Windows.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v22.0 - 2021-12-03:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Added Android SDK version to the SystemInfo trace packet.
 | |
|     * Changed compiler flags. Assume recent x64 CPUs (-msse4.2 -mavx -mpopcnt).
 | |
|       This behavior affects only standalone builds and can be changed by setting
 | |
|       enable_perfetto_x64_cpu_opt=false in the GN args.
 | |
|     * The java heap profiler now rescans all the processes every time for
 | |
|       continous_dump_config. The scan_pids_only_on_start can be used to restore
 | |
|       the old behavior.
 | |
|     * Added support for building on ARM Macs.
 | |
|     * Added support for the rss_stat_throttled event on Android via
 | |
|       FtraceConfig.throttle_rss_stat. In newer Android kernels the base rss_stat
 | |
|       event is now unthrottled. rss_stat used to be throttled by a downstream
 | |
|       kernel change, unnecessary after https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/10/25/1411 .
 | |
|       atrace.rc configures throttling from userspace at boot.
 | |
|     * Fixed a bug that caused IPCs to stall traced and hit the watchdog if in
 | |
|       the middle of a suspend/resume. Switched from SND_TIMEO to poll(POLLOUT).
 | |
|     * Added "linux.sysfs_power" data source to poll /sys/class/power_supply/
 | |
|       and report periodically battery charge and drain rate if supported.
 | |
|     * Add snapshotting for non-BOOTTIME ftrace clocks. This fixes handling of
 | |
|       ftrace events from old Linux kernel versions (i.e. 3.x) and adds
 | |
|       proper support for using the "global" clock rather than "boot".
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Speeded up proto trace ingestion by 2x (~20 MB/s -> ~40 MB/s).
 | |
|     * Changed LIKE comparisions to be case-senstive. This may break existing
 | |
|       queries but was a necessary from a performance perspective.
 | |
|       Going forward, GLOB must be used, instead of LIKE, for checked in metrics
 | |
|       to avoid unnecessary slowdowns.
 | |
|     * Changed compiler flags, assume recent x64 CPUs (see above).
 | |
|     * Changed how displayTimeUnit is handled in JSON traces to match catapult.
 | |
|     * Added websocket endpoint to RPC interface to reduce query latency.
 | |
|     * Added support for hot-reloading metrics (see //docs/analysis/metrics.md).
 | |
|     * Added ingestion support for non-BOOTTIME ftrace clocks.
 | |
|   UI:
 | |
|     * Added ability to save/restore record config. Remember last used config.
 | |
|     * Fixed bug causing the recording page to hold onto the USB interface making
 | |
|       adb unusable after a recording session.
 | |
|   SDK:
 | |
|     * Added UpdateDataSource() descriptor IPC endpoint to allow updates of the
 | |
|       data source capabilities (e.g., category list for track event).
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v21.0 - 2021-11-01:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Added reporting of last 8 PERFETTO_LOG() entries and crash keys to
 | |
|       crash tombstones on Android.
 | |
|     * Changed kallsym parser to save 100ms for starting a tracing session with
 | |
|       enable_ksyms=true.
 | |
|     * Removed advertisement of the built-in data sources "android.heapprofd",
 | |
|       "android.java_hprof", "linux.perf" on Linux and other platforms. Built-in
 | |
|       data sources are only used to lazy-start daemons on Android OS.
 | |
|     * Changed ACL files on Android atrace.rc to support to up to 24 ftrace cpus.
 | |
|       No change on Linux which remains unlimited.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Changed protobuf decoders to use less stack and fall back on heap sooner
 | |
|       (before: 16KB of stack per decoder, after: 1.6KB). It caused problems with
 | |
|       some embedders which use smaller per-thread stacks.
 | |
|     * Added support for SPAN OUTER JOIN on unpartitioned tables.
 | |
|     * Improved performance of as_pandas_dataframe() in the Python API by 16x.
 | |
|   UI:
 | |
|     * Added visualization of direct_reclaim ftrace events.
 | |
|   SDK:
 | |
|     * Added perfetto::{Flow,TerminatingFlow} to the track-event library.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v20.1 - 2021-10-05:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Fixed standalone Windows build. Updated the llvm-win toolchain.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v20.0 - 2021-10-03:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Removed DCHECK that would cause crashes when a debug build of the service
 | |
|       is used with a producer built with -DNDEBUG.
 | |
|     * Changed the service-side field-level filtering configuration protobuf
 | |
|       field number, because the feature had a bug. This is effectively
 | |
|       equivalent to deprecating the feature and reintroducing it under a
 | |
|       different name.
 | |
|     * Added support for boot tracing on Android. Early kernel tracing (prior to
 | |
|       the point when /data is mounted) is not yet supported. For instructions
 | |
|       see /docs/case-studies/android-boot-tracing.md .
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Added reqiurement of separating queries by semi-colon (;) followed by
 | |
|       new-line when specifying a query file with -q to trace processor shell.
 | |
|     * Added "ancestor_slice_by_stack" and "descendant_slice_by_stack" table
 | |
|       functions to walk up and down the slice stacks.
 | |
|     * Overhauled windowed sorting to be based on packet ordering and
 | |
|       lifecycle events inside the trace instead of time-based ordering.
 | |
|     * Removed |SortingMode::kForceFlushPeriodWindowedSort| due to changes to the
 | |
|       sorting algorithm, which is now based on Flush events rather than time.
 | |
|       Embedders should switch to |SortingMode::kDefaultHeuristics|. Other
 | |
|       SortingMode enum values are no-ops and will be removed in future versions.
 | |
|   UI:
 | |
|     * Added initial flamegraph support for traced_perf callstack samples.
 | |
|     * Added initial Pivot table for aggregation of userspace slices. The feature
 | |
|       is disabled by default for and requires manual enabling via
 | |
|       https://ui.perfetto.dev/#!/flags .
 | |
|   SDK:
 | |
|     * Changed DCHECK and DLOGs to be always disabled in SDK builds, regardless
 | |
|       of NDEBUG.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v19.0 - 2021-09-02:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Added ftrace clock reporting to the trace.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Added support for longs/doubles to RUN_METRIC.
 | |
|     * Added power profile data for sunfish, redfin, and bramble.
 | |
|     * Added experimental Python library for computing slice breakdowns.
 | |
|     * Fixed parsing of JSON escape sequences.
 | |
|     * Fixed JSON trace detection.
 | |
|   UI:
 | |
|     * Added local cacheing of traces. Traces are reloaded in case of refresh or
 | |
|       tab being discarded by the browser.
 | |
|     * Added icon to distinguish metric-derived tracks.
 | |
|     * Added release channel selector to feature flags page.
 | |
|     * Fixed crash with null slice names.
 | |
|   SDK:
 | |
|     * Added some missing NESTABLE_ASYNC legacy trace macros.
 | |
|     * Fixed reporting of producer uid in --query.
 | |
|     * Fixed version numbering scheme for minor versions. Previously versions
 | |
|       were numbered as like v19.0.42 where 42 represented the number of commits
 | |
|       since the last major version release. This was ambiguous in the presence
 | |
|       of branches. Now versions are numbered like v19.0-ab12cd34 where ab12cd34
 | |
|       is the shortened Git commit-ish.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v18.0 - 2021-08-02:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Added cross-compiler toolchains for Linux-{arm,64} based on Debian Sid.
 | |
|       These will be used for generating monthly releases' prebuilts via LUCI.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Added 'android_gpu' metric to report residency information for each GPU
 | |
|       frequency (via `trace_processor_shell --run-metrics android_gpu`).
 | |
|     * Removed the RawQuery RPC interface.
 | |
|   UI:
 | |
|     * Added a highlighted section to thread slices to visualize CPU time
 | |
|       (darker) verses wall time (lighter).
 | |
|     * Added global counter tracks for perf counters (e.g. "CPU 0 cycles", "CPU 0
 | |
|       instructions") when the 'linux.perf' data source (traced_perf) is used.
 | |
|     * Added a (feature) 'Flags' page to enable/disable individual metrics.
 | |
|     * Fixed races that could cause occasional crashes when loading a trace
 | |
|       from a permalink.
 | |
|   SDK:
 | |
|     * Fix undefined reference on ~TracingMuxerFake when building the SDK.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v17.0 - 2021-07-02:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Fixed a bug in ftrace parsing of absolute timestamps
 | |
|       (RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP), encountered on Linux kernels 5.9+.
 | |
|     * Fixed a bug in --save-for-bugreport causing 0-length traces if the
 | |
|       selected trace declared one or more triggers in the config.
 | |
|     * Fixed a bug in tracebox causing the PERFETTO_PRODUCER_SOCK_NAME env
 | |
|       var to be ignored.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Changed CORS headers of --httpd mode to allow only https://ui.perfetto.dev
 | |
|       and http://localhost:10000. This affects only CORS-aware browser clients.
 | |
|     * Added GPU frequency metrics.
 | |
|   UI:
 | |
|     * Fixed ADB connection issues ("unable to reset device") on Windows and Mac.
 | |
|     * Added caching of tracing in the cache storage so that the trace is
 | |
|       re-opened if a tab is killed (Chrome tab discarding or accidental CTRL+W).
 | |
|   SDK:
 | |
|     * Added support for writing track events using custom clock timestamps.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v16.1 - 2021-06-08:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Cherry-pick of r.android.com/1716718 which missed the v16 branch cut and
 | |
|       fixed MSVC 2019 builds.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v16.0 - 2021-06-01:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Added support for building most targets (including traced, SDK and
 | |
|       trace_processor_shell) from Windows using either clang-cl or MSVC 2019.
 | |
|     * Added tracebox, a monolithic binary to capture traces with one command
 | |
|       on Linux and older versions of Android (tested on Android Oreo).
 | |
|     * Added support for service-side field-level filtering of traces. The
 | |
|       consumer can pass a filter bytecode and ensure that non-allowed fields
 | |
|       are never emitted in output.
 | |
|     * Added reporting of service version and producer SDK version into the trace
 | |
|       and `perfetto --query`.
 | |
|     * Fixed compatibility with Android versions older than Pie (for sideloading)
 | |
|       which cause failures when trying to enable atrace categories.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Added new RPC interface based on a bidirectional binary pipe. This allows
 | |
|       to simplify integration with out-of-process users. The existing --httpd
 | |
|       interface now exposes a single /rpc endpoint. Older endpoints are still
 | |
|       available for legacy clients.
 | |
|     * Added support for counters and instant events in JSON traces.
 | |
|     * Fixed support of displayTimeUnit in JSON traces.
 | |
|   UI:
 | |
|     * Added warning dialog when trying to use a trace_processor_shell --httpd
 | |
|       which is too old.
 | |
|     * Added warning dialog when trying to use a trace_processor_shell --httpd
 | |
|       RPC instance from more than one tab.
 | |
|     * Added links to convert the trace to JSON or systrace directly from the UI.
 | |
|     * Changed track sorting logic. Tracks are now sorted in groups (e.g.,
 | |
|       scheduling tracks, summary tracks, frame timeline tracks).
 | |
|     * Fixed crashes happening flakily when pushing traces via window.open().
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| v15.0 - 2021-05-05:
 | |
|   Tracing service and probes:
 | |
|     * Added support for {host,target}=aarch64 standalone builds.
 | |
|     * Added --background cmdline switch to traced and traced_probes services.
 | |
|     * Changed trigger_perfetto to ignore unknown command line arguments to
 | |
|       preserve forward compatibility.
 | |
|     * Added -a / --app cmdline argument to tools/record_android_trace.
 | |
|   Trace Processor:
 | |
|     * Added sanitisation of keys in nested debug annotation dictionaries.
 | |
|     * Changed Android startup metric: count CPU time of JIT thread pool, report
 | |
|       timestamp of activities during startup.
 | |
|     * Changed android_surfaceflinger metric, added missed frame counters.
 | |
|     * Changed version of SQLite to 3.35.4.
 | |
|     * Fixed importing of JSON traces with decimal (sub-us) timestamp.
 | |
|     * Fixed prepending "debug." prefix to debug annotations with non-interned
 | |
|       names.
 | |
|   UI:
 | |
|     * Added support to visualize the lifetime of individual dmabuf allocations
 | |
|       as async slices (datasource: already existing ftrace dmabuf event).
 | |
|     * Fixed visualization of unfinished slices to extend to the end of the
 | |
|       viewport.
 | |
|   SDK:
 | |
|     * Added support for passing arbitrary number of debug annotations to
 | |
|       TRACE_EVENT and combining them with lambdas.
 | |
|     * Added support for writing typed TrackEvent arguments using TRACE_EVENT
 | |
|       inline without lambdas.
 | |
|     * Changed ConvertTimestampToTraceTimeNs to be a member of
 | |
