ui: add source and assembly view for callstack sample functions Add a details tab showing a function's source and disassembly, each line and instruction annotated with the number of samples taken on it (self) and including its callees (total), shaded by share of the hottest row. The data comes from the source_file and disassembly tables populated by `trace_processor bundle` and the callstacks.annotate stdlib module; when neither source nor disassembly was bundled the tab explains how to bundle them. Source is syntax highlighted for C, C++ and Rust and instructions for their mnemonics, registers and numbers, with a small dependency-free tokenizer. The assembly view draws branches to targets within the function as arrows in a gutter, packed into lanes with loops coloured distinctly, each row rendering its own slice so the listing stays virtualized. The tab opens from a "View source & assembly" action on flamegraph nodes of the stack sample flamegraphs, both for area selections and for single samples. To locate the function, the stack sample metrics carry the source file, sampled address and mapping id of each node as hidden properties.
Perfetto is an open-source suite of SDKs, daemons and tools which use tracing to help developers understand the behaviour of complex systems and root-cause functional and performance issues on client and embedded systems.
It is a production-grade tool that is the default tracing system for the Android operating system and the Chromium browser.
Perfetto is not a single tool, but a collection of components that work together:
Perfetto was designed to be a versatile and powerful tracing system for a wide range of use cases.
ftrace, allowing you to visualize scheduling, syscalls, interrupts, and custom kernel tracepoints on a timeline.chrome://tracing. Use it to debug and root-cause issues in the browser, V8, and Blink.We‘ve designed our documentation to guide you to the right information as quickly as possible, whether you’re a newcomer to performance analysis or an experienced developer.
