perf-mem(1)
===========
NAME
----
perf-mem - Profile memory accesses
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf mem' [<options>] (record [<command>] | report)
DESCRIPTION
-----------
perf mem: Enable sampling loads and stores simultaneously This patch modifies perf mem to default to sampling loads and stores simultaneously. It could only do one or the other before yet there was no hardware restriction preventing simultaneous collection. With this patch, one run is sufficient to collect both. It is still possible to sample only loads or stores by using the -t option: $ perf mem -t load rec $ perf mem -t load rep Or $ perf mem -t store rec $ perf mem -t store rep The perf report TUI will show one event at a time. The store output will contain a Weight column which will be empty. In V2, we updated the man pages to reflect the change and also simplify the initialization of the argv vector passed to the cmd_*() functions as per LKML feedback. In V3, we fixed typos in the changelog.

"perf mem report" displays the result. It invokes perf report with the
right set of options to display a memory access profile. By default, loads
and stores are sampled. Use the -t option to limit to loads or stores.

perf mem: Clarify load-latency in documentation Clarify in the documentation that 'perf mem report' reports use-latency, not load/store-latency on Intel systems. This often causes confusion with users.

Note that on Intel systems the memory latency reported is the use-latency,
not the pure load (or store latency). Use latency includes any pipeline
queueing delays in addition to the memory subsystem latency.

The separator is the space character.
-C::
