ui: add a Field Flamegraph to the Heap Dump Explorer The heap dump flamegraph is a class tree: it shows which classes retain memory but not through which fields. Add a Field Flamegraph tab which puts the field holding each object between its parent and its class (SystemServer -> .mPackageManagerService -> PackageManagerService -> ..), for the shortest path and dominator trees. The trees come from new stdlib modules, android.memory.heap_graph. field_tree and dominator_field_tree, which have the same totals as the class trees. Runs of a class held by the same field (e.g. linked lists) collapse into one level. An object whose dominator does not reference it gets a '[via Owner.field]' frame naming the field which does. "Show objects" on a field frame lists the objects the field holds.
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.
