|
|
|
|
By default, comm, dso and symbol keys are used.
|
|
(i.e. --sort comm,dso,symbol)
|
|
|
|
If --branch-stack option is used, following sort keys are also
|
|
available:
|
|
|
|
- dso_from: name of library or module branched from
|
|
- dso_to: name of library or module branched to
|
|
- symbol_from: name of function branched from
|
|
- symbol_to: name of function branched to
|
|
- srcline_from: source file and line branched from
|
|
- srcline_to: source file and line branched to
|
|
- mispredict: "N" for predicted branch, "Y" for mispredicted branch
|
|
- in_tx: branch in TSX transaction
|
|
- abort: TSX transaction abort.
|
|
- cycles: Cycles in basic block
|
|
|
|
And default sort keys are changed to comm, dso_from, symbol_from, dso_to
|
|
and symbol_to, see '--branch-stack'.
|
|
|
|
If the --mem-mode option is used, the following sort keys are also available
|
|
(incompatible with --branch-stack):
|
|
symbol_daddr, dso_daddr, locked, tlb, mem, snoop, dcacheline.
|
|
|
|
- symbol_daddr: name of data symbol being executed on at the time of sample
|
|
- dso_daddr: name of library or module containing the data being executed
|
|
on at the time of the sample
|
|
- locked: whether the bus was locked at the time of the sample
|
|
- tlb: type of tlb access for the data at the time of the sample
|
|
- mem: type of memory access for the data at the time of the sample
|
|
- snoop: type of snoop (if any) for the data at the time of the sample
|
|
- dcacheline: the cacheline the data address is on at the time of the sample
|
|
|
|
And the default sort keys are changed to local_weight, mem, sym, dso,
|
|
symbol_daddr, dso_daddr, snoop, tlb, locked, see '--mem-mode'.
|
|
|
|
If the data file has tracepoint event(s), following (dynamic) sort keys
|
|
are also available:
|
|
trace, trace_fields, [<event>.]<field>[/raw]
|
|
|
|
- trace: pretty printed trace output in a single column
|
|
- trace_fields: fields in tracepoints in separate columns
|
|
- <field name>: optional event and field name for a specific field
|
|
|
|
The last form consists of event and field names. If event name is
|
|
omitted, it searches all events for matching field name. The matched
|
|
field will be shown only for the event has the field. The event name
|
|
supports substring match so user doesn't need to specify full subsystem
|
|
and event name everytime. For example, 'sched:sched_switch' event can
|
|
be shortened to 'switch' as long as it's not ambiguous. Also event can
|
|
be specified by its index (starting from 1) preceded by the '%'.
|
|
So '%1' is the first event, '%2' is the second, and so on.
|
|
|
|
The field name can have '/raw' suffix which disables pretty printing
|
|
and shows raw field value like hex numbers. The --raw-trace option
|
|
has the same effect for all dynamic sort keys.
|
|
|
|
The default sort keys are changed to 'trace' if all events in the data
|
|
file are tracepoint.
|
|
|
|
-F::
|
|
--fields=::
|
|
Specify output field - multiple keys can be specified in CSV format.
|
|
Following fields are available:
|
|
overhead, overhead_sys, overhead_us, overhead_children, sample and period.
|
|
Also it can contain any sort key(s).
|
|
|
|
By default, every sort keys not specified in -F will be appended
|
|
automatically.
|
|
|
|
If the keys starts with a prefix '+', then it will append the specified
|
|
field(s) to the default field order. For example: perf report -F +period,sample.
|
|
|
|
-p::
|
|
--parent=<regex>::
|
|
A regex filter to identify parent. The parent is a caller of this
|
|
function and searched through the callchain, thus it requires callchain
|
|
information recorded. The pattern is in the exteneded regex format and
|
|
defaults to "\^sys_|^do_page_fault", see '--sort parent'.
|
|
|
|
-x::
|
|
--exclude-other::
|
|
Only display entries with parent-match.
|
|
|
|
-w::
|
|
--column-widths=<width[,width...]>::
|
|
Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal
|
|
readability. 0 means no limit (default behavior).
|
|
|
|
-t::
|
|
--field-separator=::
|
|
Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
|
|
all occurrences of this separator in symbol names (and other output)
|
|
with a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.
|
|
|
|
-D::
|
|
--dump-raw-trace::
|
|
Dump raw trace in ASCII.
|
|
|
|
-g::
|
|
--call-graph=<print_type,threshold[,print_limit],order,sort_key[,branch],value>::
|
|
Display call chains using type, min percent threshold, print limit,
|
|
call order, sort key, optional branch and value. Note that ordering of
|
|
parameters is not fixed so any parement can be given in an arbitraty order.
|
|
One exception is the print_limit which should be preceded by threshold.
|
|
|
|
print_type can be either:
|
|
- flat: single column, linear exposure of call chains.
|
|
- graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates. (default)
|
|
- fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of
|
|
the tree is considered as a new profiled object.
|
|
- folded: call chains are displayed in a line, separated by semicolons
|
|
- none: disable call chain display.
|
|
|
|
threshold is a percentage value which specifies a minimum percent to be
|
|
included in the output call graph. Default is 0.5 (%).
|
|
|
|
print_limit is only applied when stdio interface is used. It's to limit
|
|
number of call graph entries in a single hist entry. Note that it needs
|
|
to be given after threshold (but not necessarily consecutive).
|
|
Default is 0 (unlimited).
|
|
|
|
order can be either:
|
|
- callee: callee based call graph.
|
|
- caller: inverted caller based call graph.
|
|
Default is 'caller' when --children is used, otherwise 'callee'.
|
|
|
|
sort_key can be:
|
|
- function: compare on functions (default)
|
|
- address: compare on individual code addresses
|
|
|
|
branch can be:
|
|
- branch: include last branch information in callgraph when available.
|
|
Usually more convenient to use --branch-history for this.
|
|
|
|
value can be:
|
|
- percent: diplay overhead percent (default)
|
|
- period: display event period
|
|
- count: display event count
|
|
|
|
--children::
|
|
Accumulate callchain of children to parent entry so that then can
|
|
show up in the output. The output will have a new "Children" column
|
|
and will be sorted on the data. It requires callchains are recorded.
|
|
See the `overhead calculation' section for more details. Enabled by
|
|
default, disable with --no-children.
|
|
|
|
--max-stack::
|
|
Set the stack depth limit when parsing the callchain, anything
|
|
beyond the specified depth will be ignored. This is a trade-off
|
|
between information loss and faster processing especially for
|
|
workloads that can have a very long callchain stack.
|
|
Note that when using the --itrace option the synthesized callchain size
|
|
will override this value if the synthesized callchain size is bigger.
|
|
|
|
Default: 127
|
|
|
|
-G::
|
|
--inverted::
|
|
alias for inverted caller based call graph.
|
|
|
|
--ignore-callees=<regex>::
|
|
Ignore callees of the function(s) matching the given regex.
|
|
This has the effect of collecting the callers of each such
|
|
function into one place in the call-graph tree.
|
|
|
|
--pretty=<key>::
|
|
Pretty printing style. key: normal, raw
|
|
|
|
--stdio:: Use the stdio interface.
|
|
|
|
--stdio-color::
|
|
'always', 'never' or 'auto', allowing configuring color output
|
|
via the command line, in addition to via "color.ui" .perfconfig.
|
|
Use '--stdio-color always' to generate color even when redirecting
|
|
to a pipe or file. Using just '--stdio-color' is equivalent to
|
|
using 'always'.
|
|
|
|
--tui:: Use the TUI interface, that is integrated with annotate and allows
|
|
zooming into DSOs or threads, among other features. Use of --tui
|
|
requires a tty, if one is not present, as when piping to other
|
|
commands, the stdio interface is used.
|
|
|
|
--gtk:: Use the GTK2 interface.
|
|
|
|
-k::
|
|
--vmlinux=<file>::
|
|
vmlinux pathname
|
|
|
|
--kallsyms=<file>::
|
|
kallsyms pathname
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
--modules::
|
|
Load module symbols. WARNING: This should only be used with -k and
|
|
a LIVE kernel.
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
--force::
|
|
Don't do ownership validation.
|
|
|
|
--symfs=<directory>::
|
|
Look for files with symbols relative to this directory.
|
|
|
|
-C::
|
|
--cpu:: Only report samples for the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can
|
|
be provided as a comma-separated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of
|
|
CPUs are specified with -: 0-2. Default is to report samples on all
|
|
CPUs.
|
|
|
|
-M::
|
|
--disassembler-style=:: Set disassembler style for objdump.
|
|
|
|
--source::
|
|
Interleave source code with assembly code. Enabled by default,
|
|
disable with --no-source.
|
|
|
|
--asm-raw::
|
|
Show raw instruction encoding of assembly instructions.
|
|
|
|
--show-total-period:: Show a column with the sum of periods.
|
|
|
|
-I::
|
|
--show-info::
|
|
Display extended information about the perf.data file. This adds
|
|
information which may be very large and thus may clutter the display.
|
|
It currently includes: cpu and numa topology of the host system.
|
|
|
|
-b::
|
|
--branch-stack::
|
|
Use the addresses of sampled taken branches instead of the instruction
|
|
address to build the histograms. To generate meaningful output, the
|
|
perf.data file must have been obtained using perf record -b or
|
|
perf record --branch-filter xxx where xxx is a branch filter option.
|
|
perf report is able to auto-detect whether a perf.data file contains
|
|
branch stacks and it will automatically switch to the branch view mode,
|
|
unless --no-branch-stack is used.
|
|
|
|
--branch-history::
|
|
Add the addresses of sampled taken branches to the callstack.
|
|
This allows to examine the path the program took to each sample.
|
|
The data collection must have used -b (or -j) and -g.
|
|
|
|
--objdump=<path>::
|
|
Path to objdump binary.
|
|
|
|
--group::
|
|
Show event group information together.
|
|
|
|
--demangle::
|
|
Demangle symbol names to human readable form. It's enabled by default,
|
|
disable with --no-demangle.
|
|
|
|
--demangle-kernel::
|
|
Demangle kernel symbol names to human readable form (for C++ kernels).
|
|
|
|
--mem-mode::
|
|
Use the data addresses of samples in addition to instruction addresses
|
|
to build the histograms. To generate meaningful output, the perf.data
|
|
file must have been obtained using perf record -d -W and using a
|
|
special event -e cpu/mem-loads/ or -e cpu/mem-stores/. See
|
|
'perf mem' for simpler access.
|
|
|
|
--percent-limit::
|
|
Do not show entries which have an overhead under that percent.
|
|
(Default: 0). Note that this option also sets the percent limit (threshold)
|
|
of callchains. However the default value of callchain threshold is
|
|
different than the default value of hist entries. Please see the
|
|
--call-graph option for details.
|
|
|
|
--percentage::
|
|
Determine how to display the overhead percentage of filtered entries.
|
|
Filters can be applied by --comms, --dsos and/or --symbols options and
|
|
Zoom operations on the TUI (thread, dso, etc).
|
|
|
|
"relative" means it's relative to filtered entries only so that the
|
|
sum of shown entries will be always 100%. "absolute" means it retains
|
|
the original value before and after the filter is applied.
|
|
|
|
--header::
|
|
Show header information in the perf.data file. This includes
|
|
various information like hostname, OS and perf version, cpu/mem
|
|
info, perf command line, event list and so on. Currently only
|
|
--stdio output supports this feature.
|
|
|
|
--header-only::
|
|
Show only perf.data header (forces --stdio).
|
|
|
|
--time::
|
|
Only analyze samples within given time window: <start>,<stop>. Times
|
|
have the format seconds.microseconds. If start is not given (i.e., time
|
|
string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If
|
|
stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes
|
|
to end of file.
|
|
|
|
--itrace::
|
|
Options for decoding instruction tracing data. The options are:
|
|
|
|
include::itrace.txt[]
|
|
|
|
To disable decoding entirely, use --no-itrace.
|
|
|
|
--full-source-path::
|
|
Show the full path for source files for srcline output.
|
|
|
|
--show-ref-call-graph::
|
|
When multiple events are sampled, it may not be needed to collect
|
|
callgraphs for all of them. The sample sites are usually nearby,
|
|
and it's enough to collect the callgraphs on a reference event.
|
|
So user can use "call-graph=no" event modifier to disable callgraph
|
|
for other events to reduce the overhead.
|
|
However, perf report cannot show callgraphs for the event which
|
|
disable the callgraph.
|
|
This option extends the perf report to show reference callgraphs,
|
|
which collected by reference event, in no callgraph event.
|
|
|
|
--socket-filter::
|
|
Only report the samples on the processor socket that match with this filter
|
|
|
|
--raw-trace::
|
|
When displaying traceevent output, do not use print fmt or plugins.
|
|
|
|
--hierarchy::
|
|
Enable hierarchical output.
