Primiano Tucci2ab19f62020-07-01 21:28:31 +01001Unreleased:
2 Tracing service and probes:
Primiano Tucci06dab692022-03-15 15:32:33 +00003 * Added prebuilts for mac-arm64.
Lalit Maganti8d6d7c12022-02-24 20:35:23 +00004 * Removed merged trace and config protos from Bazel. Embedder should
5 instead depend on the non-merged proto targets.
Ryan Savitski3167ea02022-03-21 20:26:36 +00006 * Added FtraceConfig.disable_generic_events. If set, the ftrace data source
7 will not emit events for which it doesn't have a compile-time proto
8 message.
Primiano Tuccife6c2e32022-02-08 20:59:11 +00009 Trace Processor:
Primiano Tucci06dab692022-03-15 15:32:33 +000010 * Added prebuilts for mac-arm64.
Ryan Savitskie65c4052022-03-24 18:22:19 +000011 * Added an optional dependency from trace processor onto a subset of
12 sources from llvm-project for function name demangling. Bazel embedders
13 might need to update their PERFETTO_CONFIG in perfetto_cfg.bzl to opt in
14 or out of the new dependency. See
15 perfetto/bazel/standalone/perfetto_cfg.bzl for details.
Primiano Tuccife6c2e32022-02-08 20:59:11 +000016 UI:
Lalit Maganti6b515622022-02-15 14:42:18 +000017 * Added flow arrows between binder transaction pairs (request/reply
18 and async send/async recv).
Primiano Tuccife6c2e32022-02-08 20:59:11 +000019 SDK:
Alexander Timin94204c62022-03-14 16:57:32 +000020 * Added support for writing typed proto messages inside DebugAnnotations.
Mohit Saini5a7403c2022-03-14 18:24:43 +000021 * Added support for delta encoding of timestamps for TrackEvents.
22 To disable it, refer to `disable_incremental_timestamps` flag in
23 `track_event_config.proto`.

Primiano Tuccid5184022022-02-10 16:41:56 +000026v24.2 - 2022-02-10:
27 SDK:
28 * Revert of incremental timestamps, introduced in v24.0.
29 Some clients were depending on non-incremental timestamps.
30 Future releases will re-enable this but offer an opt-out.

Primiano Tuccid59e9de2022-02-09 10:42:14 +000033v24.1 - 2022-02-09:
34 Tracing service and probes:
35 * Fixed build failures on Windows.
36 Trace Processor:
37 * Fixed build failures on Windows.

Primiano Tuccife6c2e32022-02-08 20:59:11 +000040v24.0 - 2022-02-08:
41 Tracing service and probes:
42 * Added "cpufreq_period_ms" in data source "linux.sys_stats" to poll
43 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq periodically.
44 * Added support for Trusty TEE workqueue events.
45 * Added support for more PMU events in traced_perf.
Primiano Tucci24df3232022-01-26 19:15:17 +000046 * Changed output format of perfetto --query. Made the output more compact
47 and added a summary of ongoing tracing sessions for the caller UID.
Primiano Tuccife6c2e32022-02-08 20:59:11 +000048 * Changed timeout for traced stall detection from 2s to 4s.
49 * Changed internal buffer management to split trace filtering in smaller
50 tasks and avoid too large memory allocation when filtering.
51 * Fixed a bug that could cause producers to see Flush() requests after an
52 OnStop() and mis-behave if the tracing session is extremely short.
Primiano Tuccie9e81c02021-12-03 18:02:58 +000053 Trace Processor:
Primiano Tuccife6c2e32022-02-08 20:59:11 +000054 * Added support for passing multiple SQL statements to ExecuteQuery(). All
55 queries will be executed fully, with the returned iterator yielding rows
56 for the final statement.
57 * Added support for multi-line SQL comments; previously only single line
Lalit Maganti95465982022-01-27 22:41:15 +000058 comments were supported.
Primiano Tucci4f997ef2022-01-11 20:22:47 +000059 UI:
Primiano Tuccife6c2e32022-02-08 20:59:11 +000060 * Added support for parsing instant events from legacy systrace formats.
61 * Added ingestion and visualization for inet_sock_set_state and
62 tcp_retransmit_skb events, showing TCP connections on dedicated tracks.
Primiano Tucci2b2236f2022-01-28 10:50:43 +000063 * Changed HTTP+RPC to use the /websocket endpoint available in newer
64 versions of trace_processor --httpd.
Primiano Tuccife6c2e32022-02-08 20:59:11 +000065 * Changed text selection/copy: now allowed by default for DOM elements.
66 * Changed search to also lookup slices by ID when the term is a number.
67 * Changed postMessage() API, suppressed confirmation dialog when the opener
68 is in the same origin, for cases when the UI is self-hosted.
Primiano Tucci4f997ef2022-01-11 20:22:47 +000069 SDK:
Primiano Tuccid5184022022-02-10 16:41:56 +000070 * Changed timestamps emitted by the SDK to be incremental by default, using
71 ClockSnapshot + TracePacketDefaults.
Primiano Tucci4f997ef2022-01-11 20:22:47 +000072
73
74v23.0 - 2022-01-11:
75 Tracing service and probes:
76 * Added workaround for a kernel ftrace bug causing some "comm" fields to be
77 not null-terminated. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f0a5157803 .
78 * Added ability to talk to the newer AIDL-based health hal in traced_probes.
79 It still falls back on the older HIDL interface for older devices.
80 Trace Processor:
Primiano Tucci1d518b42022-01-11 19:09:45 +000081 * Changed the argument for the trace path in constructor of TraceProcessor
82 in the Python API from |file_path| to |trace|.
Lalit Maganticb8e0ff2022-01-11 15:36:37 +000083 |file_path| is deprecated and may be removed in the future.
Primiano Tucci1d518b42022-01-11 19:09:45 +000084 * Changed the Python API constructor. Now it takes a TraceProcessorConfig
Lalit Maganticb8e0ff2022-01-11 15:36:37 +000085 instead of passing parameters directly. This may break existing code
86 but migration should be trivial (all current options are still
87 supported).
Primiano Tucci1d518b42022-01-11 19:09:45 +000088 * Fixed a HTTP keepalive bug in trace_processor --httpd. The bug, introduced
89 in v22.0, caused each RPC request to close the connection, effectively
90 defeating the 'Connection: Keep-Alive', after each query made by the UI.
Primiano Tucci4f997ef2022-01-11 20:22:47 +000091 * Added parsing of netif_receive_skb events from proto traces.
92 * Added android_netperf metric based on netif events.
93 * Fixed a bug that would cause fetch errors when loading traces > 32 MB when
94 using trace_processor --httpd.
95 * Added a workaround to tokenize properly /proc/pid/cmdline for chrome
96 processes on Linux/CrOS. Chrome rewrites its cmdline replacing \0 -> ' '.
Primiano Tuccie9e81c02021-12-03 18:02:58 +000097 UI:

102
Primiano Tucci26e2acb2021-12-07 20:27:53 +0000103v22.1 - 2021-12-07:
104 Tracing service and probes:
105 * Added workaround for a Linux kernel bug causing some ftrace strings to
106 be non-null-terminated (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f0a5157).
107 Trace Processor:
108 * Fixed build failures on Windows.

Primiano Tuccie9e81c02021-12-03 18:02:58 +0000111v22.0 - 2021-12-03:
112 Tracing service and probes:
Lalit Maganti7030e782021-11-08 13:12:42 +0000113 * Added Android SDK version to the SystemInfo trace packet.
Primiano Tucci2277f062021-11-08 22:24:05 +0000114 * Changed compiler flags. Assume recent x64 CPUs (-msse4.2 -mavx -mpopcnt).
115 This behavior affects only standalone builds and can be changed by setting
116 enable_perfetto_x64_cpu_opt=false in the GN args.
Daniele Di Proietto4d9665b2021-11-24 18:25:46 +0000117 * The java heap profiler now rescans all the processes every time for
118 continous_dump_config. The scan_pids_only_on_start can be used to restore
119 the old behavior.
Primiano Tuccie9e81c02021-12-03 18:02:58 +0000120 * Added support for building on ARM Macs.
121 * Added support for the rss_stat_throttled event on Android via
122 FtraceConfig.throttle_rss_stat. In newer Android kernels the base rss_stat
123 event is now unthrottled. rss_stat used to be throttled by a downstream
124 kernel change, unnecessary after https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/10/25/1411 .
125 atrace.rc configures throttling from userspace at boot.
126 * Fixed a bug that caused IPCs to stall traced and hit the watchdog if in
127 the middle of a suspend/resume. Switched from SND_TIMEO to poll(POLLOUT).
128 * Added "linux.sysfs_power" data source to poll /sys/class/power_supply/
129 and report periodically battery charge and drain rate if supported.
Lalit Maganti33928bc2022-01-27 17:30:08 +0000130 * Add snapshotting for non-BOOTTIME ftrace clocks. This fixes handling of
131 ftrace events from old Linux kernel versions (i.e. 3.x) and adds
132 proper support for using the "global" clock rather than "boot".
Primiano Tucci6a46cc72021-10-04 18:57:12 +0100133 Trace Processor:
Primiano Tuccie9e81c02021-12-03 18:02:58 +0000134 * Speeded up proto trace ingestion by 2x (~20 MB/s -> ~40 MB/s).
Lalit Maganti1cf65eb2021-11-10 16:13:48 +0000135 * Changed LIKE comparisions to be case-senstive. This may break existing
136 queries but was a necessary from a performance perspective.
Primiano Tuccie9e81c02021-12-03 18:02:58 +0000137 Going forward, GLOB must be used, instead of LIKE, for checked in metrics
138 to avoid unnecessary slowdowns.
Primiano Tucci2277f062021-11-08 22:24:05 +0000139 * Changed compiler flags, assume recent x64 CPUs (see above).
Hector Dearmanee80bcb2021-11-30 13:51:30 +0000140 * Changed how displayTimeUnit is handled in JSON traces to match catapult.
Primiano Tuccie9e81c02021-12-03 18:02:58 +0000141 * Added websocket endpoint to RPC interface to reduce query latency.
142 * Added support for hot-reloading metrics (see //docs/analysis/metrics.md).
Lalit Maganti33928bc2022-01-27 17:30:08 +0000143 * Added ingestion support for non-BOOTTIME ftrace clocks.
Primiano Tucci6a46cc72021-10-04 18:57:12 +0100144 UI:
Primiano Tuccie9e81c02021-12-03 18:02:58 +0000145 * Added ability to save/restore record config. Remember last used config.
146 * Fixed bug causing the recording page to hold onto the USB interface making
147 adb unusable after a recording session.
Primiano Tucci6a46cc72021-10-04 18:57:12 +0100148 SDK:
Primiano Tucci360f0232021-11-04 13:41:08 +0000149 * Added UpdateDataSource() descriptor IPC endpoint to allow updates of the
150 data source capabilities (e.g., category list for track event).
Primiano Tucci6a46cc72021-10-04 18:57:12 +0100151
152
Primiano Tucciea727872021-11-02 21:42:05 +0000153v21.0 - 2021-11-01:
154 Tracing service and probes:
155 * Added reporting of last 8 PERFETTO_LOG() entries and crash keys to
156 crash tombstones on Android.
157 * Changed kallsym parser to save 100ms for starting a tracing session with
158 enable_ksyms=true.
159 * Removed advertisement of the built-in data sources "android.heapprofd",
160 "android.java_hprof", "linux.perf" on Linux and other platforms. Built-in
161 data sources are only used to lazy-start daemons on Android OS.
162 * Changed ACL files on Android atrace.rc to support to up to 24 ftrace cpus.
163 No change on Linux which remains unlimited.
164 Trace Processor:
165 * Changed protobuf decoders to use less stack and fall back on heap sooner
166 (before: 16KB of stack per decoder, after: 1.6KB). It caused problems with
167 some embedders which use smaller per-thread stacks.
168 * Added support for SPAN OUTER JOIN on unpartitioned tables.
169 * Improved performance of as_pandas_dataframe() in the Python API by 16x.
170 UI:
171 * Added visualization of direct_reclaim ftrace events.
172 SDK:
173 * Added perfetto::{Flow,TerminatingFlow} to the track-event library.
174
175
Primiano Tuccia94219a2021-10-05 10:38:24 +0100176v20.1 - 2021-10-05:
177 Tracing service and probes:
178 * Fixed standalone Windows build. Updated the llvm-win toolchain.
179
180
Primiano Tucci6a46cc72021-10-04 18:57:12 +0100181v20.0 - 2021-10-03:
182 Tracing service and probes:
Primiano Tucci5eabf6f2021-09-07 14:49:48 +0100183 * Removed DCHECK that would cause crashes when a debug build of the service
184 is used with a producer built with -DNDEBUG.
Daniele Di Proiettoa4c180e2021-09-15 15:42:34 +0000185 * Changed the service-side field-level filtering configuration protobuf
186 field number, because the feature had a bug. This is effectively
187 equivalent to deprecating the feature and reintroducing it under a
188 different name.
Primiano Tucci6a46cc72021-10-04 18:57:12 +0100189 * Added support for boot tracing on Android. Early kernel tracing (prior to
190 the point when /data is mounted) is not yet supported. For instructions
191 see /docs/case-studies/android-boot-tracing.md .
Primiano Tucci5f303142021-06-02 10:28:50 +0100192 Trace Processor:
Lalit Maganti09002982021-09-10 17:04:08 +0100193 * Added reqiurement of separating queries by semi-colon (;) followed by
194 new-line when specifying a query file with -q to trace processor shell.
Zaina Al-Mashni5ed83f92021-09-09 09:08:38 +0000195 * Added "ancestor_slice_by_stack" and "descendant_slice_by_stack" table
196 functions to walk up and down the slice stacks.
Lalit Maganti09e840c2021-09-22 15:23:17 +0100197 * Overhauled windowed sorting to be based on packet ordering and
Primiano Tucci6a46cc72021-10-04 18:57:12 +0100198 lifecycle events inside the trace instead of time-based ordering.
199 * Removed |SortingMode::kForceFlushPeriodWindowedSort| due to changes to the
200 sorting algorithm, which is now based on Flush events rather than time.
201 Embedders should switch to |SortingMode::kDefaultHeuristics|. Other
202 SortingMode enum values are no-ops and will be removed in future versions.
Primiano Tucci876be6d2021-08-02 20:58:06 +0100203 UI:
Primiano Tucci6a46cc72021-10-04 18:57:12 +0100204 * Added initial flamegraph support for traced_perf callstack samples.
205 * Added initial Pivot table for aggregation of userspace slices. The feature
206 is disabled by default for and requires manual enabling via
207 https://ui.perfetto.dev/#!/flags .
Primiano Tucci876be6d2021-08-02 20:58:06 +0100208 SDK:
Primiano Tucci1a69d012021-09-07 14:52:27 +0100209 * Changed DCHECK and DLOGs to be always disabled in SDK builds, regardless
210 of NDEBUG.

212
Primiano Tuccie356c102021-09-07 11:47:47 +0100213v19.0 - 2021-09-02:
214 Tracing service and probes:
215 * Added ftrace clock reporting to the trace.
216 Trace Processor:
217 * Added support for longs/doubles to RUN_METRIC.
218 * Added power profile data for sunfish, redfin, and bramble.
219 * Added experimental Python library for computing slice breakdowns.
220 * Fixed parsing of JSON escape sequences.
221 * Fixed JSON trace detection.
222 UI:
223 * Added local cacheing of traces. Traces are reloaded in case of refresh or
224 tab being discarded by the browser.
225 * Added icon to distinguish metric-derived tracks.
226 * Added release channel selector to feature flags page.
227 * Fixed crash with null slice names.
228 SDK:
229 * Added some missing NESTABLE_ASYNC legacy trace macros.
230 * Fixed reporting of producer uid in --query.
231 * Fixed version numbering scheme for minor versions. Previously versions
232 were numbered as like v19.0.42 where 42 represented the number of commits
233 since the last major version release. This was ambiguous in the presence
234 of branches. Now versions are numbered like v19.0-ab12cd34 where ab12cd34
235 is the shortened Git commit-ish.

237
Primiano Tucci876be6d2021-08-02 20:58:06 +0100238v18.0 - 2021-08-02:
239 Tracing service and probes:
240 * Added cross-compiler toolchains for Linux-{arm,64} based on Debian Sid.
241 These will be used for generating monthly releases' prebuilts via LUCI.
242 Trace Processor:
243 * Added 'android_gpu' metric to report residency information for each GPU
244 frequency (via `trace_processor_shell --run-metrics android_gpu`).
Primiano Tuccie2422be2021-07-20 18:19:45 +0100245 * Removed the RawQuery RPC interface.
Primiano Tucci50199ce2021-07-02 14:50:53 +0100246 UI:
Primiano Tuccie2422be2021-07-20 18:19:45 +0100247 * Added a highlighted section to thread slices to visualize CPU time
Zaina Al-Mashni3911f612021-07-13 18:09:34 +0000248 (darker) verses wall time (lighter).
Primiano Tucci876be6d2021-08-02 20:58:06 +0100249 * Added global counter tracks for perf counters (e.g. "CPU 0 cycles", "CPU 0
250 instructions") when the 'linux.perf' data source (traced_perf) is used.
251 * Added a (feature) 'Flags' page to enable/disable individual metrics.
252 * Fixed races that could cause occasional crashes when loading a trace
253 from a permalink.
Primiano Tucci50199ce2021-07-02 14:50:53 +0100254 SDK:
Primiano Tuccie2422be2021-07-20 18:19:45 +0100255 * Fix undefined reference on ~TracingMuxerFake when building the SDK.

259 Tracing service and probes:
Ryan Savitski6444aad2021-07-02 16:30:57 +0100260 * Fixed a bug in ftrace parsing of absolute timestamps
261 (RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP), encountered on Linux kernels 5.9+.
Primiano Tucci50199ce2021-07-02 14:50:53 +0100262 * Fixed a bug in --save-for-bugreport causing 0-length traces if the
263 selected trace declared one or more triggers in the config.
264 * Fixed a bug in tracebox causing the PERFETTO_PRODUCER_SOCK_NAME env
265 var to be ignored.
266 Trace Processor:
Primiano Tucci728230d2021-06-16 15:38:35 +0100267 * Changed CORS headers of --httpd mode to allow only https://ui.perfetto.dev
268 and http://localhost:10000. This affects only CORS-aware browser clients.
Primiano Tucci50199ce2021-07-02 14:50:53 +0100269 * Added GPU frequency metrics.
Primiano Tucci5f303142021-06-02 10:28:50 +0100270 UI:
Primiano Tuccice51d522021-06-03 14:57:45 +0100271 * Fixed ADB connection issues ("unable to reset device") on Windows and Mac.
Primiano Tucci50199ce2021-07-02 14:50:53 +0100272 * Added caching of tracing in the cache storage so that the trace is
273 re-opened if a tab is killed (Chrome tab discarding or accidental CTRL+W).
Primiano Tucci5f303142021-06-02 10:28:50 +0100274 SDK:
Sami Kyostilac687c2e2021-06-03 13:00:45 +0100275 * Added support for writing track events using custom clock timestamps.
Primiano Tucci5f303142021-06-02 10:28:50 +0100276
277
Primiano Tucci5ca51f92021-06-08 10:29:35 +0100278v16.1 - 2021-06-08:
279 Tracing service and probes:
280 * Cherry-pick of r.android.com/1716718 which missed the v16 branch cut and
281 fixed MSVC 2019 builds.
282
283
Primiano Tucci5f303142021-06-02 10:28:50 +0100284v16.0 - 2021-06-01:
285 Tracing service and probes:
Primiano Tucci235610f2021-05-24 20:22:43 +0100286 * Added support for building most targets (including traced, SDK and
287 trace_processor_shell) from Windows using either clang-cl or MSVC 2019.
288 * Added tracebox, a monolithic binary to capture traces with one command
289 on Linux and older versions of Android (tested on Android Oreo).
Primiano Tucci5f303142021-06-02 10:28:50 +0100290 * Added support for service-side field-level filtering of traces. The
291 consumer can pass a filter bytecode and ensure that non-allowed fields
