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)
perf report: Add -q/--quiet option The -q/--quiet option is to suppress any message. Sometimes users just want to see the numbers and it can be used for that case.

perf tools: Add 'cgroup_id' sort order keyword This patch introduces a cgroup identifier entry field in perf report to identify or distinguish data of different cgroups. It uses the device number and inode number of cgroup namespace, included in perf data with the new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event, as cgroup identifier. With the assumption that each container is created with it's own cgroup namespace, this allows assessment/analysis of multiple containers at once. A simple test for this would be to clone a few processes passing SIGCHILD & CLONE_NEWCROUP flags to each of them, execute shell and run different workloads on each of those contexts, while running perf record command with --namespaces option. Shown below is the output of perf report, sorted with cgroup identifier, on perf.data generated with the above test scenario, clearly indicating one context's considerable use of kernel memory in comparison with others: $ perf report -s cgroup_id,sample --stdio # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 5K of event 'kmem:kmalloc' # Event count (approx.): 5965 # # Overhead cgroup id (dev/inode) Samples # ........ ..................... ............ # 81.27% 3/0xeffffffb 4848 16.24% 3/0xf00000d0 969 1.16% 3/0xf00000ce 69 0.82% 3/0xf00000cf 49 0.50% 0/0x0 30 While this is a start, there is further scope of improving this. For example, instead of cgroup namespace's device and inode numbers, dev and inode numbers of some or all namespaces may be used to distinguish which processes are running in a given container context. Also, scripts to map device and inode info to containers sounds plausible for better tracing of containers.

perf report: Add support for srcfile sort key In some cases it's useful to characterize samples by file. This is useful to get a higher level categorization, for example to map cost to subsystems. Add a srcfile sort key to perf report. It builds on top of the existing srcline support.

- cgroup_id: ID derived from cgroup namespace device and inode numbers.
perf report: Add 'cgroup' sort key The cgroup sort key is to show cgroup membership of each task. Currently it shows full path in the cgroupfs (not relative to the root of cgroup namespace) since it'd be more intuitive IMHO. Otherwise root cgroup in different namespaces will all show same name - "/". The cgroup sort key should come before cgroup_id otherwise sort_dimension__add() will match it to cgroup_id as it only matches with the given substring. For example it will look like following. Note that record patch adding --all-cgroups patch will come later. $ perf record -a --namespace --all-cgroups cgtest [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.208 MB perf.data (4090 samples) ] $ perf report -s cgroup_id,cgroup,pid ... # Overhead cgroup id (dev/inode) Cgroup Pid:Command # ........ ..................... .......... ............... # 93.96% 0/0x0 / 0:swapper 1.25% 3/0xeffffffb / 278:looper0 0.86% 3/0xf000015f /sub/cgrp1 280:cgtest 0.37% 3/0xf0000160 /sub/cgrp2 281:cgtest 0.34% 3/0xf0000163 /sub/cgrp3 282:cgtest 0.22% 3/0xeffffffb /sub 278:looper0 0.20% 3/0xeffffffb / 280:cgtest 0.15% 3/0xf0000163 /sub/cgrp3 285:looper3 Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200325124536.2800725-6-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf report: Add srcline_from/to branch sort keys Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys that allow to show the source lines of a branch. That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to associate it with cycle counts: % perf record -b -e cycles:p ./tcall % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,mispredict ... 15.10% tcall.c:18 tcall.c:10 N 14.83% tcall.c:11 tcall.c:5 N 14.12% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 N 14.04% tcall.c:12 tcall.c:5 N 12.42% tcall.c:17 tcall.c:18 N 12.39% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:13 N 12.27% tcall.c:13 tcall.c:17 N ... % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,cycles ... 17.12% tcall.c:18 tcall.c:11 1 17.01% tcall.c:12 tcall.c:6 1 16.98% tcall.c:11 tcall.c:6 1 15.91% tcall.c:17 tcall.c:18 1 6.38% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 7 4.80% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 8 4.21% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 8 2.67% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 7 2.62% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 10 2.10% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 9 1.58% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 6 1.44% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 5 1.38% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 9 1.06% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 13 1.05% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 4 1.01% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 6 Open issues: - Some kernel symbols get misresolved.

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):
perf tools: Support data block and addr block Two new data source fields, to indicate the block reasons of a load instruction, are introduced on the Intel Sapphire Rapids server. The fields can be used by the memory profiling. Add a new sort function, SORT_MEM_BLOCKED, for the two fields. For the previous platforms or the block reason is unknown, print "N/A" for the block reason. Add blocked as a default mem sort key for perf report and perf mem report.

- blocked: reason of blocked load access for the data 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, blocked, local_ins_lat,
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.
perf report: Adjust column width to the values sampled Auto-adjust column width of perf report output to the longest occuring string length. Example: [acme@doppio pahole]$ perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol | head -13 12.79% pahole /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so [.] __libdw_find_attr 8.90% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] _int_malloc 8.68% pahole /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so [.] __libdw_form_val_len 8.15% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] __GI_strcmp 6.80% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] __tsearch 5.54% pahole ./build/libdwarves.so.1.0.0 [.] tag__recode_dwarf_type [acme@doppio pahole]$ [acme@doppio pahole]$ perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol -d /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so | head -10 21.92% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] _int_malloc 20.08% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] __GI_strcmp 16.75% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] __tsearch [acme@doppio pahole]$ Also add these extra options to control the new behaviour: -w, --field-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 occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output) with a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.

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.

sort_key can be:
- function: compare on functions (default)
- address: compare on individual code addresses
perf report: Enable sorting by srcline as key Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us. Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads. The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist entries that generate the same output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ perf report --stdio --inline -g address # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............ ................... ......................................... # 99.89% 35.34% cpp-inlining cpp-inlining [.] main | |--64.55%--main complex:655 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:664 (inline) | | | |--60.31%--hypot +20 | | | | | |--8.52%--__hypot_finite +273 | | | | | |--7.32%--__hypot_finite +411 ... --35.34%--_start +4194346 __libc_start_main +241 | |--6.65%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) | |--2.70%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) | |--1.69%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With this patch and `-g srcline` we instead get the following output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ perf report --stdio --inline -g srcline # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............ ................... ......................................... # 99.89% 35.34% cpp-inlining cpp-inlining [.] main | |--64.55%--main complex:655 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:664 (inline) | | | |--64.02%--hypot | | | | | --59.81%--__hypot_finite | | | --0.53%--cabs | --35.34%--_start __libc_start_main | |--12.48%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Yao Jin <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170318214928.9047-1-milian.wolff@kdab.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf callchain: Support handling complete branch stacks as histograms Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful. This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram infrastructure to unify them. This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the caller for short functions. Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be added in a patch after this one: tcall.c: volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c; __attribute__((noinline)) f2() { c = a / b; } __attribute__((noinline)) f1() { f2(); f2(); } main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) f1(); } % perf record -b -g ./tsrc/tcall [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.044 MB perf.data (~1923 samples) ] % perf report --no-children --branch-history ... 54.91% tcall.c:6 [.] f2 tcall | |--65.53%-- f2 tcall.c:5 | | | |--70.83%-- f1 tcall.c:11 | | f1 tcall.c:10 | | main tcall.c:18 | | main tcall.c:18 | | main tcall.c:17 | | main tcall.c:17 | | f1 tcall.c:13 | | f1 tcall.c:13 | | f2 tcall.c:7 | | f2 tcall.c:5 | | f1 tcall.c:12 | | f1 tcall.c:12 | | f2 tcall.c:7 | | f2 tcall.c:5 | | f1 tcall.c:11 | | | --29.17%-- f1 tcall.c:12 | f1 tcall.c:12 | f2 tcall.c:7 | f2 tcall.c:5 | f1 tcall.c:11 | f1 tcall.c:10 | main tcall.c:18 | main tcall.c:18 | main tcall.c:17 | main tcall.c:17 | f1 tcall.c:13 | f1 tcall.c:13 | f2 tcall.c:7 | f2 tcall.c:5 | f1 tcall.c:12 The default output is unchanged. This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere else. This adds the basic code to report: - add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode - when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c. The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the difference between LBR entry and normal call entry. - detect overlaps with the callchain - remove small loop duplicates in the LBR Current limitations: - The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history and LBR entries have no special marker. - It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow (e.g. with arrows) v2: Various fixes. v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space. v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback. v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without -b. v6: Rebase v7: Rebase.

perf report: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scan When callgraph data was included in the perf data file, it may take a long time to scan all those data and merge them together especially if the stored callchains are long and the perf data file itself is large, like a Gbyte or so.

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

Note that when using the --itrace option the synthesized callchain size
will override this value if the synthesized callchain size is bigger.

perf report/top: Add option to collapse undesired parts of call graph For example, in an application with an expensive function implemented with deeply nested recursive calls, the default call-graph presentation is dominated by the different callchains within that function. By ignoring these callees, we can collect the callchains leading into the function and compactly identify what to blame for expensive calls. For example, in this report the callers of garbage_collect() are scattered across the tree: $ perf report -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z] 22.03% ruby [.] gc_mark --- gc_mark |--59.40%-- mark_keyvalue | st_foreach | gc_mark_children | |--99.75%-- rb_gc_mark | | rb_vm_mark | | gc_mark_children | | gc_marks | | |--99.00%-- garbage_collect If we ignore the callees of garbage_collect(), its callers are coalesced: $ perf report --ignore-callees garbage_collect -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z] 72.92% ruby [.] garbage_collect --- garbage_collect vm_xmalloc |--47.08%-- ruby_xmalloc | st_insert2 | rb_hash_aset | |--98.45%-- features_index_add | | rb_provide_feature | | rb_require_safe | | vm_call_method Signed-off-by: Greg Price <price@mit.edu> Tested-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130623031720.GW22203@biohazard-cafe.mit.edu Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708115746.GO22203@biohazard-cafe.mit.edu Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> [ remove spaces at beginning of line, reported by Fengguang Wu ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8) The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime, profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track what was recorded, on what machine and when. This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions, we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files. We define the following useful new extensions: - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line - HEADER_VERSION: perf version - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs) - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as ASCII strings. Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA topology may be requested with the -I option. Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of this patch. $ perf report --stdio # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # HEADER_NUMA_TOPOLOGY info available, use -I to display # ======== # ... $ perf report --stdio -I # ======== # captured on : Mon Sep 26 15:22:14 2011 # hostname : quad # os release : 3.1.0-rc4-tip # perf version : 3.1.0-rc4 # arch : x86_64 # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,15,11 # total memory : 8105360 kB # cmdline : /home/eranian/perfmon/official/tip/build/tools/perf/perf record date # event : name = cycles, type = 0, config = 0x0, config1 = 0x0, config2 = 0x0, excl_usr = 0, excl_kern = 0, id = { 29, 30, 31, # sibling cores : 0-3 # sibling threads : 0 # sibling threads : 1 # sibling threads : 2 # sibling threads : 3 # node0 meminfo : total = 8320608 kB, free = 7571024 kB # node0 cpu list : 0-3 # ======== # ...

perf report: Add support for taken branch sampling This patch adds support for taken branch sampling, i.e, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature to perf report. In other words, to display histograms based on taken branches rather than executed instructions addresses. The new option is called -b and it takes no argument. To generate meaningful output, the perf.data must have been obtained using perf record -b xxx ... where xxx is a branch filter option. The output shows symbols, modules, sorted by 'who branches where' the most often. The percentages reported in the first column refer to the total number of branches captured and not the usual number of samples. Here is a quick example. Here branchy is simple test program which looks as follows: void f2(void) {} void f3(void) {} void f1(unsigned long n) { if (n & 1UL) f2(); else f3(); } int main(void) { unsigned long i; for (i=0; i < N; i++) f1(i); return 0; } Here is the output captured on Nehalem, if we are only interested in user level function calls. $ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy $ perf report -b --sort=symbol 52.34% [.] main [.] f1 24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3 23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2 0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul 0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal 0.01% [k] main [k] __printf About half (52%) of the call branches captured are from main() -> f1().

-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.

Remove first N entries from source file path names in executables
and add PREFIX. This allows to display source code compiled on systems
with different file system layout.

perf report: Allow specifying event to be used as sort key in --group output When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group information together. By default, the output is sorted by the first event in group. It would be nice for user to select any event for sorting. This patch introduces a new option "--group-sort-idx" to sort the output by the event at the index n in event group.

--group-sort-idx::
Sort the output by the event at the index n in group. If n is invalid,
sort by the first event. It can support multiple groups with different
amount of events. WARNING: This should be used on grouped events.
--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).
perf report: Add option to specify time window of interest Add option to allow user to control analysis window. e.g., collect data for time window and analyze a segment of interest within that window.

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
explicitly specified does.
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 #

--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.
perf report: Add option to enable the LBR stitching approach With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp. Also, it may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples with stitched LBRs are huge. Add an option to enable the approach. # To display the perf.data header info, please use # --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 6K of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 6492797701 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............... .................. # ................................. # 99.99% 99.99% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f43 | ---main f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8 f9 f10 f11 f12 f13 f14 f15 f16 f17 f18 f19 f20 f21 f22 f23 f24 f25 f26 f27 f28 f29 f30 f31 | --99.65%--f32 f33 f34 f35 f36 f37 f38 f39 f40 f41 f42 f43 Committer testing: $ perf record --call-graph lbr /wb/tchain_edit [ perf record: Woken up 23 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 5.578 MB perf.data (6839 samples) ] $ perf report --header-only | egrep 'cpu(desc|.*capabilities)' # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz # cpu pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=skylake $ Before: $ perf report --no-children --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 6K of event 'cycles:u' # Event count (approx.): 6459523879 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........... ................ ....................... # 99.95% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f43 | --99.92%--f43 f42 f41 f40 f39 f38 f37 f36 f35 f34 f33 f32 f31 f30 f29 f28 f27 f26 f25 f24 f23 f22 f21 f20 f19 f18 f17 f16 f15 f14 f13 f12 f11 0.03% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f42 0.01% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f41 0.00% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f31 0.00% tchain_edit ld-2.29.so [.] _dl_relocate_object 0.00% tchain_edit ld-2.29.so [.] memmove 0.00% tchain_edit [unknown] [k] 0xffffffff93a00b17 After: $ perf report --stitch-lbr --no-children --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 6K of event 'cycles:u' # Event count (approx.): 6459496645 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........... ................ ........................ # 99.97% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f43 | --99.93%--f43 f42 f41 f40 f39 f38 f37 f36 f35 f34 f33 f32 f31 f30 f29 f28 f27 f26 f25 f24 f23 f22 f21 f20 f19 f18 f17 f16 f15 f14 f13 f12 f11 f10 f9 f8 f7 f6 f5 f4 f3 f2 f1 main __libc_start_main 0.02% tchain_edit [unknown] [k] 0xffffffff93a00b17 0.01% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f31 0.00% tchain_edit ld-2.29.so [.] _dl_important_hwcaps Signed-off-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexey Budankov <alexey.budankov@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@linaro.org> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Pavel Gerasimov <pavel.gerasimov@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Vitaly Slobodskoy <vitaly.slobodskoy@intel.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200319202517.23423-14-kan.liang@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

--stitch-lbr::
Show callgraph with stitched LBRs, which may have more complete
callgraph. The perf.data file must have been obtained using
perf record --call-graph lbr.
Disabled by default. In common cases with call stack overflows,
it can recreate better call stacks than the default lbr call stack
output. But this approach is not full proof. There can be cases
where it creates incorrect call stacks from incorrect matches.
The known limitations include exception handing such as
setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns not match.
--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.
perf report: Introduce --mmaps Similar to --tasks, producing the same output plus /proc/<PID>/maps similar lines for each mmap record present in a perf.data file. Please note that not all mmaps are stored, for instance, some of the non-executable mmaps are only stored when 'perf record --data' is used, when the user wants to resolve data accesses in addition to asking for executable mmaps to get the DSO with symtabs. E.g.: # perf record sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (7 samples) ] [root@jouet ~]# perf report --mmaps # pid tid ppid comm 0 0 -1 |swapper 4137 4137 -1 |sleep 5628a35a1000-5628a37aa000 r-xp 00000000 3147148 /usr/bin/sleep 7fb65ad51000-7fb65b134000 r-xp 00000000 3149795 /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so 7fb65b134000-7fb65b35e000 r-xp 00000000 3149715 /usr/lib64/ld-2.26.so 7ffd94b9f000-7ffd94ba1000 r-xp 00000000 0 [vdso] # # perf record sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.019 MB perf.data (8 samples) ] # perf report --mmaps # pid tid ppid comm 0 0 -1 |swapper 4161 4161 -1 |sleep 55afae69a000-55afae8a3000 r-xp 00000000 3147148 /usr/bin/sleep 7f569f00d000-7f569f3f0000 r-xp 00000000 3149795 /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so 7f569f3f0000-7f569f61a000 r-xp 00000000 3149715 /usr/lib64/ld-2.26.so 7fff6fffe000-7fff70000000 r-xp 00000000 0 [vdso] # # perf record time sleep 1 0.00user 0.00system 0:01.00elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2156maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+73minor)pagefaults 0swaps [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.019 MB perf.data (14 samples) ] # perf report --mmaps # pid tid ppid comm 0 0 -1 |swapper 4281 4281 -1 |time 560560dca000-560560fcf000 r-xp 00000000 3190458 /usr/bin/time 7fc175196000-7fc175579000 r-xp 00000000 3149795 /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so 7fc175579000-7fc1757a3000 r-xp 00000000 3149715 /usr/lib64/ld-2.26.so 7ffc924f6000-7ffc924f8000 r-xp 00000000 0 [vdso] 4282 4282 4281 | sleep 560560dca000-560560fcf000 r-xp 00000000 3190458 /usr/bin/time 564b4de3c000-564b4e045000 r-xp 00000000 3147148 /usr/bin/sleep 7f6a5a716000-7f6a5aaf9000 r-xp 00000000 3149795 /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so 7f6a5aaf9000-7f6a5ad23000 r-xp 00000000 3149715 /usr/lib64/ld-2.26.so 7fc175196000-7fc175579000 r-xp 00000000 3149795 /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so 7fc175579000-7fc1757a3000 r-xp 00000000 3149715 /usr/lib64/ld-2.26.so 7ffc924f6000-7ffc924f8000 r-xp 00000000 0 [vdso] 7ffcec7e6000-7ffcec7e8000 r-xp 00000000 0 [vdso] # Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-zulwdlg5rfowogr1qznorvvc@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

--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.
perf report: Sort by sampled cycles percent per block for stdio It would be useful to support sorting for all blocks by the sampled cycles percent per block. This is useful to concentrate on the globally hottest blocks. This patch implements a new option "--total-cycles" which sorts all blocks by 'Sampled Cycles%'. The 'Sampled Cycles%' is the percent: percent = block sampled cycles aggregation / total sampled cycles Note that, this patch only supports "--stdio" mode. For example, # perf record -b ./div # perf report --total-cycles --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 2M of event 'cycles' #

--total-cycles::
When --total-cycles is specified, it supports sorting for all blocks by
'Sampled Cycles%'. This is useful to concentrate on the globally hottest
blocks. In output, there are some new columns:
'Sampled Cycles%' - block sampled cycles aggregation / total sampled cycles
'Sampled Cycles' - block sampled cycles aggregation
'Avg Cycles%' - block average sampled cycles / sum of total block average
sampled cycles
'Avg Cycles' - block average sampled cycles
--skip-empty::
Do not print 0 results in the --stat output.
