Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ef4b1a539f perf report: Add --switch-on/--switch-off events
Since 'perf top' shares the histogram browser with 'perf report', then
the same explanation in the previous cset applies.

An additional example uses a pair of SDT events available for systemtap:

  # perf probe --exec=/usr/bin/stap '%*:*'
  Added new events:
    sdt_stap:benchmark__thread__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark   (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark__thread__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass6__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass6__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass5__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass5__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass0__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass0__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass1a__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass1b__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass1__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass2__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass2__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass3__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass3__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass4__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:pass4__end  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:benchmark__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__get  (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__clean (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__add__module (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:cache__add__source (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:stap_system__complete (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:stap_system__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:stap_system__spawn (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:stap_system__fork (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:intern_string (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:client__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
    sdt_stap:client__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e sdt_stap:client__end -aR sleep 1

  #

From these we're use the two below to run systemtap's test suite:

  # perf record -e sdt_stap:pass2__*,cycles:P make installcheck > /dev/null
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 8 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.691 MB perf.data (39638 samples) ]
  Terminated
  # perf script | grep sdt_stap
              stap 28979 [000] 19424.302660: sdt_stap:pass2__start: (561b9a537de3) arg1=140730364262544
              stap 28979 [000] 19424.333083:   sdt_stap:pass2__end: (561b9a53a9e1) arg1=140730364262544

  # perf script | grep cycles |  wc -l

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf report' [-i <file> | --input=file]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command displays the performance counter profile information recorded
via perf record.
OPTIONS
-------

file://filename entries. This option will affect the percentage of
the overhead column. See --percentage for more info.
--pid=::
Only show events for given process ID (comma separated list).
--tid=::
Only show events for given thread ID (comma separated list).
-d::
--dsos=::
Only consider symbols in these dsos. CSV that understands
file://filename entries. This option will affect the percentage of
the overhead column. See --percentage for more info.
-S::
--symbols=::
Only consider these symbols. CSV that understands
file://filename entries. This option will affect the percentage of
the overhead column. See --percentage for more info.
--symbol-filter=::
Only show symbols that match (partially) with this filter.
-U::
--hide-unresolved::
Only display entries resolved to a symbol.
-s::
--sort=::
Sort histogram entries by given key(s) - multiple keys can be specified
in CSV format. Following sort keys are available:
pid, comm, dso, symbol, parent, cpu, socket, srcline, weight,
local_weight, cgroup_id.
Each key has following meaning:
- comm: command (name) of the task which can be read via /proc/<pid>/comm
- pid: command and tid of the task
- dso: name of library or module executed at the time of sample
- dso_size: size of library or module executed at the time of sample
- symbol: name of function executed at the time of sample
- symbol_size: size of function executed at the time of sample
- parent: name of function matched to the parent regex filter. Unmatched
entries are displayed as "[other]".
- cpu: cpu number the task ran at the time of sample
- socket: processor socket number the task ran at the time of sample
- srcline: filename and line number executed at the time of sample. The
DWARF debugging info must be provided.
- srcfile: file name of the source file of the samples. Requires dwarf
information.
- weight: Event specific weight, e.g. memory latency or transaction
abort cost. This is the global weight.
- local_weight: Local weight version of the weight above.
- cgroup_id: ID derived from cgroup namespace device and inode numbers.
- transaction: Transaction abort flags.
- overhead: Overhead percentage of sample
- overhead_sys: Overhead percentage of sample running in system mode
- overhead_us: Overhead percentage of sample running in user mode
- overhead_guest_sys: Overhead percentage of sample running in system mode
on guest machine
- overhead_guest_us: Overhead percentage of sample running in user mode on
guest machine
- sample: Number of sample
- period: Raw number of event count of sample
- time: Separate the samples by time stamp with the resolution specified by
--time-quantum (default 100ms). Specify with overhead and before it.
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'.
When the sort key symbol is specified, columns "IPC" and "IPC Coverage"
are enabled automatically. Column "IPC" reports the average IPC per function
and column "IPC coverage" reports the percentage of instructions with
sampled IPC in this function. IPC means Instruction Per Cycle. If it's low,
it indicates there may be a performance bottleneck when the function is
executed, such as a memory access bottleneck. If a function has high overhead
and low IPC, it's worth further analyzing it to optimize its performance.
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
- phys_daddr: physical address of data being executed on at the time of 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 extended 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
is not fixed so any parameter can be given in an arbitrary 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
- srcline: compare on source filename and line number
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: display 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
--ignore-vmlinux::
Ignore vmlinux files.
--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. It forces group output also
if there are no groups defined in data file.
--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/p or -e cpu/mem-stores/p. 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.nanoseconds. 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. Multiple ranges can be separated by spaces, which
requires the argument to be quoted e.g. --time "1234.567,1234.789 1235,"
Also support time percent with multiple time ranges. Time string is
'a%/n,b%/m,...' or 'a%-b%,c%-%d,...'.
For example:
Select the second 10% time slice:
perf report --time 10%/2
Select from 0% to 10% time slice:
perf report --time 0%-10%
Select the first and second 10% time slices:
perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2
Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices:
perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
--switch-on EVENT_NAME::
Only consider events after this event is found.
This may be interesting to measure a workload only after some initialization
phase is over, i.e. insert a perf probe at that point and then using this
option with that probe.
--switch-off EVENT_NAME::
Stop considering events after this event is found.
--show-on-off-events::
Show the --switch-on/off events too. This has no effect in 'perf report' now
but probably we'll make the default not to show the switch-on/off events
on the --group mode and if there is only one event besides the off/on ones,
go straight to the histogram browser, just like 'perf report' with no events
explicitely specified does.
--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
--samples=N::
Save N individual samples for each histogram entry to show context in perf
report tui browser.
--raw-trace::
When displaying traceevent output, do not use print fmt or plugins.
--hierarchy::
Enable hierarchical output.
--inline::
If a callgraph address belongs to an inlined function, the inline stack
will be printed. Each entry is function name or file/line. Enabled by
default, disable with --no-inline.
--mmaps::
Show --tasks output plus mmap information in a format similar to
/proc/<PID>/maps.
Please note that not all mmaps are stored, options affecting which ones
are include 'perf record --data', for instance.
--ns::
Show time stamps in nanoseconds.
--stats::
Display overall events statistics without any further processing.
(like the one at the end of the perf report -D command)
--tasks::
Display monitored tasks stored in perf data. Displaying pid/tid/ppid
plus the command string aligned to distinguish parent and child tasks.
--percent-type::
Set annotation percent type from following choices:
global-period, local-period, global-hits, local-hits
The local/global keywords set if the percentage is computed
in the scope of the function (local) or the whole data (global).
The period/hits keywords set the base the percentage is computed
on - the samples period or the number of samples (hits).
--time-quantum::
Configure time quantum for time sort key. Default 100ms.
Accepts s, us, ms, ns units.
