==============
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.
--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.
