DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
2012-10-24 12:56:51 +00:00
|
|
|
This command displays the performance difference amongst two or more perf.data
|
|
|
|
|
files captured via perf record.
|
2009-12-14 22:09:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If no parameters are passed it will assume perf.data.old and perf.data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-09-06 15:46:55 +00:00
|
|
|
The differential profile is displayed only for events matching both
|
|
|
|
|
specified perf.data files.

perf diff: Use perf_session__fprintf_hists just like 'perf record'
That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:
$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
samples) ] perf diff | head -8
9.02% +1.00% find libc-2.10.1.so [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
2.91% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] __kmalloc
2.85% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
1.99% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
2.44% find [kernel] [k] half_md4_transform
$
So if you want to zoom into libc:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
37.34% find [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% find [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% find [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% find [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% find [.] _int_free
$
And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% [.] _int_free
$
The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:
perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% +2 [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% -1 [.] _int_free
$
Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:
$ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal

COMPARISON
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
The comparison is governed by the baseline file. The baseline perf.data
|
|
|
|
|
file is iterated for samples. All other perf.data files specified on
|
|
|
|
|
the command line are searched for the baseline sample pair. If the pair
|
|
|
|
|
is found, specified computation is made and result is displayed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All samples from non-baseline perf.data files, that do not match any
|
|
|
|
|
baseline entry, are displayed with empty space within baseline column
|
|
|
|
|
and possible computation results (delta) in their related column.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example files samples:
|
|
|
|
|
- file A with samples f1, f2, f3, f4, f6
|
|
|
|
|
- file B with samples f2, f4, f5
|
|
|
|
|
- file C with samples f1, f2, f5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
|
|
|
x - computation takes place for pair
|
|
|
|
|
b - baseline sample percentage
