NAME
|
|
----
|
|
perf-sched - Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies)
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'perf sched' {record|latency|map|replay|script|timehist}
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
There are several variants of 'perf sched':
|
|
|
|
'perf sched record <command>' to record the scheduling events
|
|
of an arbitrary workload.
|
|
|
|
'perf sched latency' to report the per task scheduling latencies
|
|
and other scheduling properties of the workload.
|
|
|
|
'perf sched script' to see a detailed trace of the workload that
|
|
was recorded (aliased to 'perf script' for now).
|
|
|
|
'perf sched replay' to simulate the workload that was recorded
|
|
via perf sched record. (this is done by starting up mockup threads
|
|
that mimic the workload based on the events in the trace. These
|
|
threads can then replay the timings (CPU runtime and sleep patterns)
|
|
of the workload as it occurred when it was recorded - and can repeat
|
|
it a number of times, measuring its performance.)
|
|
|
|
'perf sched map' to print a textual context-switching outline of
|
|
workload captured via perf sched record. Columns stand for
|
|
individual CPUs, and the two-letter shortcuts stand for tasks that
|
|
are running on a CPU. A '*' denotes the CPU that had the event, and
|
|
a dot signals an idle CPU.
|
|
|
|
'perf sched timehist' provides an analysis of scheduling events.
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
perf sched record -- sleep 1
|
|
perf sched timehist
|
|
|
|
By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the wait
|
|
time (time between sched-out and next sched-in events for the task), the
|
|
task scheduling delay (time between wakeup and actually running) and run
|
|
time for the task:
|
|
|
|
time cpu task name wait time sch delay run time
|
|
[tid/pid] (msec) (msec) (msec)

--input=<file>::
|
|
Input file name. (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Be more verbose. (show symbol address, etc)

|
|
|
|
OPTIONS for 'perf sched map'
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
--compact::
|
|
Show only CPUs with activity. Helps visualizing on high core
|
|
count systems.
|
|
|
|
--cpus::
|
|
Show just entries with activities for the given CPUs.
|
|
|
|
--color-cpus::
|
|
Highlight the given cpus.
|
|
|
|
--color-pids::
|
|
Highlight the given pids.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS for 'perf sched timehist'
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
-k::
|
|
--vmlinux=<file>::
|
|
vmlinux pathname
|
|
|
|
--kallsyms=<file>::
|
|
kallsyms pathname
|
|
|
|
-g::
|
|
--no-call-graph::
|
|
Do not display call chains if present.
|
|
|
|
--max-stack::
|
|
Maximum number of functions to display in backtrace, default 5.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
--summary::
|
|
Show only a summary of scheduling by thread with min, max, and average
|
|
run times (in sec) and relative stddev.
|
|
|
|
-S::
|
|
--with-summary::
|
|
Show all scheduling events followed by a summary by thread with min,
|
|
max, and average run times (in sec) and relative stddev.
|
|
|
|
--symfs=<directory>::
|
|
Look for files with symbols relative to this directory.
|
|
|
|
-V::
|
|
--cpu-visual::
|
|
Show visual aid for sched switches by CPU: 'i' marks idle time,
|
|
's' are scheduler events.
|
|
|
|
-w::
|
|
--wakeups::
|
|
Show wakeup events.
|
|
|
|
-M::
|
|

|
|
Show migration events.
|
|
|
|

|
|
--next::
|
|
Show next task.
|
|
|
|
-I::
|
|
--idle-hist::
|
|
Show idle-related events only.
|
|
|
|
--time::
|
|
Only analyze samples within given time window: <start>,<stop>. Times
|
|
have the format seconds.microseconds. If start is not given (i.e., time
|
|
string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If
|
|
stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes
|
|
to end of file.
|
|
|
|
--state::
|
|
Show task state when it switched out.
