The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.: # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first) While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file. Applies to the following commands: perf annotate perf buildid-list perf evlist perf kmem perf lock perf report perf sched perf script perf timechart Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename strings. v2: * Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup browser if stdout is a pipe" Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1323248577-11268-5-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

NAME

|
----
|
|
perf-report - Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the profile
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'perf report' [-i <file> | --input=file]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This command displays the performance counter profile information recorded
|
|
via perf record.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-i::
|
|
--input=::
|
|
Input file name. (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Be more verbose. (show symbol address, etc)
|
|
|
|
-d::
|
|
--dsos=::
|
|
Only consider symbols in these dsos. CSV that understands
|
|
file://filename entries.
|
|
-n::
|
|
--show-nr-samples::
|
|
Show the number of samples for each symbol
|
|
|
|
--showcpuutilization::
|
|
Show sample percentage for different cpu modes.
|
|
|
|
-T::
|
|
--threads::
|
|
Show per-thread event counters
|
|
-c::
|
|
--comms=::
|
|
Only consider symbols in these comms. CSV that understands
|
|
file://filename entries.
|
|
-S::
|
|
--symbols=::
|
|
Only consider these symbols. CSV that understands
|
|
file://filename entries.
|
|
|
|
-U::
|
|
--hide-unresolved::
|
|
Only display entries resolved to a symbol.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
--sort=::
|
|
Sort by key(s): pid, comm, dso, symbol, parent.
|
|
|
|
-p::
|
|
--parent=<regex>::
|
|
regex filter to identify parent, 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.
|
|
|
|
-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 [type,min[,limit],order]::
|
|
--call-graph::
|
|
Display call chains using type, min percent threshold, optional print
|
|
limit and order.
|
|
type can be either:
|
|
- flat: single column, linear exposure of call chains.
|
|
- graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates.
|
|
- fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of
|
|
the tree is considered as a new profiled object. +
|
|
|
|
order can be either:
|
|
- callee: callee based call graph.
|
|
- caller: inverted caller based call graph.
|
|
|
|
Default: fractal,0.5,callee.
|
|
|
|
-G::
|
|
--inverted::
|
|
alias for inverted caller based call graph.
|
|
|
|
--pretty=<key>::
|
|
Pretty printing style. key: normal, raw
|
|
|
|
--stdio:: Use the stdio interface.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
-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 complain, do it.
|
|
|
|
--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.

|
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
