Intel has supported such capability via Intel Processor Trace (PT) since at least 2014 [1]. Here is a full trace recorder built by Jane Street feeding into standard program trace visualizers [2].
ARM has supported such capability via the standard CoreSight Program Trace Macrocell (PTM)[3]/Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM)[4] since at least 2000.
If you pair it with standard data trace, which is less commonly available, then you have the prerequisites for a hardware trace time travel debugger as originally seen in the early 2000s [5]
You can get similar performance/function tracing entirely in software via software-instrumented instruction trace and similar debugging information (though less granular performance information) via record-replay time travel debugger recordings.
