2014-09-17perf tools: Disable kernel symbol demangling by defaultAvi Kivity1-0/+3
Some Linux symbols (for example __vt_event_wait) are interpreted by the demangler as C++ mangled names, which of course they aren't. Disable kernel symbol demangling by default to avoid this, and allow enabling it with a new option --demangle-kernel for those who wish it.

2014-08-12perf top: Add -w option for setting column widthNamhyung Kim1-0/+6
Add -w/--column-widths option like perf report does so that users are able to see symbols even with some very long C++ library/functions. It can be a list separated by comma for each column. $ perf top -w 0,20,30 The value of 0 means there's no limit.

2013-10-21perf top: Add --max-stack option to limit callchain stack scanWaiman Long1-0/+8
When the callgraph function is enabled (-G), it may take a long time to scan all the stack data and merge them accordingly. This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-top to limit the depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for perf-top to finish its processing. It reduces the amount of information provided to the user in exchange for faster speed.

2013-07-12perf report/top: Add option to collapse undesired parts of call graphGreg Price1-0/+5
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>

This gets top closer to record in the way it sets up evsels, with the aim of sharing more and more to the point that both will be a single utility.

2011-10-07perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-3/+20
This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top': 1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old "KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields. 2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period. And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in 'perf report', for instance: [root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 31.59% libcrypto.so.1.0.0 21.55% [kernel] 18.57% libpython2.6.so.1.0 7.04% libc-2.12.so 6.99% _backend_agg.so 4.72% sshd 1.48% multiarray.so 1.39% libfreetype.so.6.3.22 1.37% perf 0.71% libgobject-2.0.so.0.2200.5 0.53% [tg3] 0.48% libglib-2.0.so.0.2200.5 0.44% libstdc++.so.6.0.13 0.40% libcairo.so.2.10800.8 0.38% libm-2.12.so 0.34% umath.so 0.30% libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.9 0.22% libpthread-2.12.so 0.20% libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.9 0.20% librt-2.12.so 0.15% _path.so 0.13% libpango-1.0.so.0.2800.1 0.11% libatlas.so.3.0 0.09% ft2font.so 0.09% libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.2800.1 0.08% libX11.so.6.3.0 0.07% [vdso] 0.06% cyclictest ^C All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols, etc. The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the zoom operations, do annotation, etc. This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.

Examples: $ perf record -a -C0-1,4-7 sleep 1 $ perf top -C0-4 $ perf stat -a -C1,2,3,4 sleep 1 With perf record in per-thread mode with inherit mode on, samples are collected only when the thread runs on the designated CPUs. The -C option does not turn on system-wide mode automatically. Cc: David S.

2010-02-04perf top: Teach it to autolocate vmlinuxKirill Smelkov1-1/+1
By relying on logic in dso__load_kernel_sym(), we can automatically load vmlinux. The only thing which needs to be adjusted, is how --sym-annotate option is handled - now we can't rely on vmlinux been loaded until full successful pass of dso__load_vmlinux(), but that's not the case if we'll do sym_filter_entry setup in symbol_filter(). So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we know the whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done. By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't annotate userspace - see next patches with fixes.

2009-06-06perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/Ingo Molnar1-0/+39
Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the (new) tools/ directory.
