perf-top(1)
===========
NAME
----
perf-top - System profiling tool.
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf top' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command generates and displays a performance counter profile in real time.
OPTIONS
-------
-a::
--all-cpus::
System-wide collection. (default)
-c <count>::
--count=<count>::
Event period to sample.
-C <cpu-list>::
--cpu=<cpu>::
Monitor 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.
Default is to monitor all CPUS.
-d <seconds>::
--delay=<seconds>::
Number of seconds to delay between refreshes.
-e <event>::
--event=<event>::
Select the PMU event. Selection can be a symbolic event name
(use 'perf list' to list all events) or a raw PMU
event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
hexadecimal event descriptor.
-E <entries>::
--entries=<entries>::
Display this many functions.
-f <count>::
--count-filter=<count>::
Only display functions with more events than this.
-g::
--group::
Put the counters into a counter group.
-F <freq>::
--freq=<freq>::
Profile at this frequency.
-i::
--inherit::
Child tasks inherit counters, only makes sens with -p option.
-k <path>::
--vmlinux=<path>::
Path to vmlinux. Required for annotation functionality.
-m <pages>::
--mmap-pages=<pages>::
Number of mmapped data pages.
-p <pid>::
--pid=<pid>::
Profile events on existing Process ID.
-t <tid>::
--tid=<tid>::
Profile events on existing thread ID.
-r <priority>::
--realtime=<priority>::
Collect data with this RT SCHED_FIFO priority.
-s <symbol>::
--sym-annotate=<symbol>::
Annotate this symbol.
-K::
--hide_kernel_symbols::
Hide kernel symbols.
-U::
--hide_user_symbols::
Hide user symbols.
-D::
--dump-symtab::
Dump the symbol table used for profiling.
-v::
--verbose::
Be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc).
-z::
--zero::
Zero history across display updates.
-s::
--sort::
Sort by key(s): pid, comm, dso, symbol, parent
-n::
--show-nr-samples::
Show a column with the number of samples.
--show-total-period::
Show a column with the sum of periods.
--dsos::
Only consider symbols in these dsos.
--comms::
Only consider symbols in these comms.
--symbols::
Only consider these symbols.
-G [type,min,order]::
--call-graph::
Display call chains using type, min percent threshold 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.
INTERACTIVE PROMPTING KEYS
--------------------------
[d]::
Display refresh delay.
[e]::
Number of entries to display.
[E]::
Event to display when multiple counters are active.
[f]::
Profile display filter (>= hit count).
[F]::
Annotation display filter (>= % of total).
[s]::
Annotate symbol.
[S]::
Stop annotation, return to full profile display.
[z]::
Toggle event count zeroing across display updates.
[qQ]::
Quit.
Pressing any unmapped key displays a menu, and prompts for input.
