The change to per-cpu mmaps causes the -p, -t and -u options now to have inheritance enabled by default. Change that back to no inheritance but for the -t option only.

==============
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
perf-record - Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'perf record' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-l] [-a] <command>
|
|
'perf record' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-l] [-a] -- <command> [<options>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This command runs a command and gathers a performance counter profile
|
|
from it, into perf.data - without displaying anything.
|
|
|
|
This file can then be inspected later on, using 'perf report'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<command>...::
|
|
Any command you can specify in a shell.
|
|
|
|
-e::
|
|
--event=::
|
|
Select the PMU event. Selection can be:
|
|
|
|
- a symbolic event name (use 'perf list' to list all events)
|
|
|
|
- a raw PMU event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
|
|
hexadecimal event descriptor.
|
|
|
|
- a hardware breakpoint event in the form of '\mem:addr[:access]'
|
|
where addr is the address in memory you want to break in.
|
|
Access is the memory access type (read, write, execute) it can
|
|
be passed as follows: '\mem:addr[:[r][w][x]]'.
|
|
If you want to profile read-write accesses in 0x1000, just set
|
|
'mem:0x1000:rw'.
|
|
|
|
--filter=<filter>::
|
|
Event filter.
|
|
|
|
-a::
|
|
--all-cpus::
|
|
System-wide collection from all CPUs.
|
|
|
|
-l::
|
|
Scale counter values.
|
|
|
|
-p::
|
|
--pid=::
|
|
Record events on existing process ID (comma separated list).
|
|
|
|
-t::
|
|
--tid=::
|
|
Record events on existing thread ID (comma separated list).
|
|
This option also disables inheritance by default. Enable it by adding
|
|
--inherit.
|
|
|
|
-u::
|
|
--uid=::
|
|
Record events in threads owned by uid. Name or number.
|
|
|
|
-r::
|
|
--realtime=::
|
|
Collect data with this RT SCHED_FIFO priority.
|
|
|
|
-D::
|
|
--no-delay::
|
|
Collect data without buffering.
|
|
|
|
-c::
|
|
--count=::
|
|
Event period to sample.
|
|
|
|
-o::
|
|
--output=::
|
|
Output file name.
|
|
|
|
-i::
|
|
--no-inherit::
|
|
Child tasks do not inherit counters.
|
|
-F::
|
|
--freq=::
|
|
Profile at this frequency.
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
--mmap-pages=::
|
|
Number of mmap data pages (must be a power of two) or size
|
|
specification with appended unit character - B/K/M/G. The
|
|
size is rounded up to have nearest pages power of two value.
|
|
|
|
-g::
|
|
Enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording.
|
|
|
|
--call-graph::
|
|
Setup and enable call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording,
|
|
implies -g.
|
|
|
|
Allows specifying "fp" (frame pointer) or "dwarf"
|
|
(DWARF's CFI - Call Frame Information) as the method to collect
|
|
the information used to show the call graphs.
|
|
|
|
In some systems, where binaries are build with gcc
|
|
--fomit-frame-pointer, using the "fp" method will produce bogus
|
|
call graphs, using "dwarf", if available (perf tools linked to
|
|
the libunwind library) should be used instead.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
Don't print any message, useful for scripting.
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc).
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
--stat::
|
|
Per thread counts.
|
|
|
|
-d::
|
|
--data::
|
|
Sample addresses.
|
|
|
|
-T::
|
|
--timestamp::
|
|
Sample timestamps. Use it with 'perf report -D' to see the timestamps,
|
|
for instance.
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
--no-samples::
|
|
Don't sample.
|
|
|
|
-R::
|
|
--raw-samples::
|
|
Collect raw sample records from all opened counters (default for tracepoint counters).
|
|
|
|
-C::
|
|
--cpu::
|
|
Collect samples only on 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.
|
|
In per-thread mode with inheritance mode on (default), samples are captured only when
|
|
the thread executes on the designated CPUs. Default is to monitor all CPUs.
|
|
|
|
-N::
|
|
--no-buildid-cache::
|
|
Do not update the builid cache. This saves some overhead in situations
|
|
where the information in the perf.data file (which includes buildids)
|
|
is sufficient.
|
|
|
|
-G name,...::
|
|
--cgroup name,...::
|
|
monitor only in the container (cgroup) called "name". This option is available only
|
|
in per-cpu mode. The cgroup filesystem must be mounted. All threads belonging to
|
|
container "name" are monitored when they run on the monitored CPUs. Multiple cgroups
|
|
can be provided. Each cgroup is applied to the corresponding event, i.e., first cgroup
|
|
to first event, second cgroup to second event and so on. It is possible to provide
|
|
an empty cgroup (monitor all the time) using, e.g., -G foo,,bar. Cgroups must have
|
|
corresponding events, i.e., they always refer to events defined earlier on the command
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
-b::
|
|
--branch-any::
|
|
Enable taken branch stack sampling. Any type of taken branch may be sampled.
|
|
This is a shortcut for --branch-filter any. See --branch-filter for more infos.
|
|
|
|
-j::
|
|
--branch-filter::
|
|
Enable taken branch stack sampling. Each sample captures a series of consecutive
|
|
taken branches. The number of branches captured with each sample depends on the
|
|
underlying hardware, the type of branches of interest, and the executed code.
|
|
It is possible to select the types of branches captured by enabling filters. The
|
|
following filters are defined:
|
|
|
|
- any: any type of branches
|
|
- any_call: any function call or system call
|
|
- any_ret: any function return or system call return
|
|
- ind_call: any indirect branch
|
|
- u: only when the branch target is at the user level
|
|
- k: only when the branch target is in the kernel
|
|
- hv: only when the target is at the hypervisor level
|
|
- in_tx: only when the target is in a hardware transaction
|
|
- no_tx: only when the target is not in a hardware transaction
|
|
- abort_tx: only when the target is a hardware transaction abort
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
The option requires at least one branch type among any, any_call, any_ret, ind_call.
|
|
The privilege levels may be omitted, in which case, the privilege levels of the associated
|
|
event are applied to the branch filter. Both kernel (k) and hypervisor (hv) privilege
|
|
levels are subject to permissions. When sampling on multiple events, branch stack sampling
|
|
is enabled for all the sampling events. The sampled branch type is the same for all events.
|
|
The various filters must be specified as a comma separated list: --branch-filter any_ret,u,k
|
|
Note that this feature may not be available on all processors.
|
|
|
|
--weight::
|
|
Enable weightened sampling. An additional weight is recorded per sample and can be
|
|
displayed with the weight and local_weight sort keys. This currently works for TSX
|
|
abort events and some memory events in precise mode on modern Intel CPUs.
|
|
|
|
--transaction::
|
|
Record transaction flags for transaction related events.
|
|
|
|
--per-thread::
|
|
Use per-thread mmaps. By default per-cpu mmaps are created. This option
|
|
overrides that and uses per-thread mmaps. A side-effect of that is that
|
|
inheritance is automatically disabled. --per-thread is ignored with a warning
|
|
if combined with -a or -C options.
