To also trace kernel space presents a problem, namely kernel self-modifying
|
||||
code. A fairly good kernel image is available in /proc/kcore but to get an
|
||||
accurate image a copy of /proc/kcore needs to be made under the same conditions
|
||||
as the data capture. A script perf-with-kcore can do that, but beware that the
|
||||
script makes use of 'sudo' to copy /proc/kcore. If you have perf installed
|
||||
locally from the source tree you can do:
|
||||
as the data capture. 'perf record' can make a copy of /proc/kcore if the option
|
||||
--kcore is used, but access to /proc/kcore is restricted e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore record pt_ls -e intel_pt// -- ls
|
||||
sudo perf record -o pt_ls --kcore -e intel_pt// -- ls
|
||||
|
||||
which will create a directory named 'pt_ls' and put the perf.data file and
|
||||
copies of /proc/kcore, /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules into it. Then to use
|
||||
'perf report' becomes:
|
||||
which will create a directory named 'pt_ls' and put the perf.data file (named
|
||||
simply 'data') and copies of /proc/kcore, /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules into
|
||||
it. The other tools understand the directory format, so to use 'perf report'
|
||||
becomes:
|
||||
|
||||
~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report pt_ls
|
||||
sudo perf report -i pt_ls
|
||||
|
||||
Because samples are synthesized after-the-fact, the sampling period can be
|
||||
selected for reporting. e.g. sample every microsecond
|
||||
|
||||
~/libexec/perf-core/perf-with-kcore report pt_ls --itrace=i1usge
|
||||
sudo perf report pt_ls --itrace=i1usge
|
||||
|
||||
See the sections below for more information about the --itrace option.
