CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The perf configuration file contains many variables to change various
|
|
|
|
aspects of each of its tools, including output, disk usage, etc.
|
|
|
|
The '$HOME/.perfconfig' file is used to store a per-user configuration.
|
|
|
|
The file '$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig' can be used to
|
|
|
|
store a system-wide default configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
2019-07-30 22:30:37 +08:00
|
|
|
One an disable reading config files by setting the PERF_CONFIG environment
|
|
|
|
variable to /dev/null, or provide an alternate config file by setting that
|
|
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-11 01:51:17 +08:00
|
|
|
When reading or writing, the values are read from the system and user
|
|
|
|
configuration files by default, and options '--system' and '--user'
|
|
|
|
can be used to tell the command to read from or write to only that location.

Syntax
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The file consist of sections. A section starts with its name
|
|
|
|
surrounded by square brackets and continues till the next section
|
|
|
|
begins. Each variable must be in a section, and have the form
|
|
|
|
'name = value', for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[section]
|
|
|
|
name1 = value1
|
|
|
|
name2 = value2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Section names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
|
|
|
|
newline (double quote `"` and backslash have to be escaped as `\"` and `\\`,
|
|
|
|
respectively). Section headers can't span multiple lines.
|
|

You can hide source code of annotate feature setting the config to false with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% perf config annotate.hide_src_code=true
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to add or modify several config items, you can do like
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% perf config ui.show-headers=false kmem.default=slab
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To modify the sort order of report functionality in user config file(i.e. `~/.perfconfig`), do
|
|
|
|
|
2020-12-17 01:13:17 +08:00
|
|
|
% perf config --user report.sort-order=srcline
|
2016-11-04 14:44:20 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To change colors of selected line to other foreground and background colors
|
|
|
|
in system config file (i.e. `$(sysconf)/perfconfig`), do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% perf config --system colors.selected=yellow,green
|
|
|
|
|
2016-11-04 14:44:17 +08:00
|
|
|
To query the record mode of call graph, do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% perf config call-graph.record-mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to know multiple config key/value pairs, you can do like
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% perf config report.queue-size call-graph.order report.children
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To query the config value of sort order of call graph in user config file (i.e. `~/.perfconfig`), do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% perf config --user call-graph.sort-order
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To query the config value of buildid directory in system config file (i.e. `$(sysconf)/perfconfig`), do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% perf config --system buildid.dir

|
|
|
|
colors.*::
|
|
|
|
The variables for customizing the colors used in the output for the
|
|
|
|
'report', 'top' and 'annotate' in the TUI. They should specify the
|
|
|
|
foreground and background colors, separated by a comma, for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
medium = green, lightgray
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the color configured for you terminal, just leave it
|
|
|
|
as 'default', for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
medium = default, lightgray
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Available colors:
|
|
|
|
red, yellow, green, cyan, gray, black, blue,
|
|
|
|
white, default, magenta, lightgray
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
colors.top::
|
|
|
|
'top' means a overhead percentage which is more than 5%.
|
|
|
|
And values of this variable specify percentage colors.
|
|
|
|
Basic key values are foreground-color 'red' and
|
|
|
|
background-color 'default'.
|
|
|
|
colors.medium::
|
|
|
|
'medium' means a overhead percentage which has more than 0.5%.
|
|
|
|
Default values are 'green' and 'default'.
|
|
|
|
colors.normal::
|
|
|
|
'normal' means the rest of overhead percentages
|
|
|
|
except 'top', 'medium', 'selected'.
|
|
|
|
Default values are 'lightgray' and 'default'.
|
|
|
|
colors.selected::
|
|
|
|
This selects the colors for the current entry in a list of entries
|
|
|
|
from sub-commands (top, report, annotate).
|
|
|
|
Default values are 'black' and 'lightgray'.
|
|
|
|
colors.jump_arrows::
|
|
|
|
Colors for jump arrows on assembly code listings
|
|
|
|
such as 'jns', 'jmp', 'jane', etc.
|
|
|
|
Default values are 'blue', 'default'.
|
|
|
|
colors.addr::
|
|
|
|
This selects colors for addresses from 'annotate'.
|
|
|
|
Default values are 'magenta', 'default'.
|
|
|
|
colors.root::
|
|
|
|
Colors for headers in the output of a sub-commands (top, report).
|
|
|
|
Default values are 'white', 'blue'.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-12-05 04:34:20 +08:00
|
|
|
core.*::
|
|
|
|
core.proc-map-timeout::
|
|
|
|
Sets a timeout (in milliseconds) for parsing /proc/<pid>/maps files.
|
|
|
|
Can be overridden by the --proc-map-timeout option on supported
|
|
|
|
subcommands. The default timeout is 500ms.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-08 19:39:32 +08:00
|
|
|
tui.*, gtk.*::
|
|
|
|
Subcommands that can be configured here are 'top', 'report' and 'annotate'.
|
|
|
|
These values are booleans, for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[tui]
|
|
|
|
top = true
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
will make the TUI be the default for the 'top' subcommand. Those will be
|
|
|
|
available if the required libs were detected at tool build time.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-08 19:39:33 +08:00
|
|
|
buildid.*::
|
|
|
|
buildid.dir::
|
|
|
|
Each executable and shared library in modern distributions comes with a
|
|
|
|
content based identifier that, if available, will be inserted in a
|
|
|
|
'perf.data' file header to, at analysis time find what is needed to do
|
|
|
|
symbol resolution, code annotation, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The recording tools also stores a hard link or copy in a per-user
|
|
|
|
directory, $HOME/.debug/, of binaries, shared libraries, /proc/kallsyms
|
|
|
|
and /proc/kcore files to be used at analysis time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The buildid.dir variable can be used to either change this directory
|
|
|
|
cache location, or to disable it altogether. If you want to disable it,
|
|
|
|
set buildid.dir to /dev/null. The default is $HOME/.debug
|
|
|
|
|
2020-12-14 18:54:55 +08:00
|
|
|
buildid-cache.*::
|
|
|
|
buildid-cache.debuginfod=URLs
|
|
|
|
Specify debuginfod URLs to be used when retrieving perf.data binaries,
|
|
|
|
it follows the same syntax as the DEBUGINFOD_URLS variable, like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
buildid-cache.debuginfod=http://192.168.122.174:8002
|

|
|
2016-01-08 19:39:34 +08:00
|
|
|
annotate.*::
|
|
|
|
These are in control of addresses, jump function, source code
|
|
|
|
in lines of assembly code from a specific program.
|
|
|
|

annotate.disassembler_style:
|
|
|
|
Use this to change the default disassembler style to some other value
|
|
|
|
supported by binutils, such as "intel", see the '-M' option help in the
|
|
|
|
'objdump' man page.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-08 19:39:34 +08:00
|
|
|
annotate.hide_src_code::
|
|
|
|
If a program which is analyzed has source code,
|
|
|
|
this option lets 'annotate' print a list of assembly code with the source code.
|
|
|
|
For example, let's see a part of a program. There're four lines.
|
|
|
|
If this option is 'true', they can be printed
|
|
|
|
without source code from a program as below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
│ push %rbp
|
|
|
|
│ mov %rsp,%rbp
|
|
|
|
│ sub $0x10,%rsp
|
|
|
|
│ mov (%rdi),%rdx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But if this option is 'false', source code of the part
|
|
|
|
can be also printed as below. Default is 'false'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
│ struct rb_node *rb_next(const struct rb_node *node)
|
|
|
|
│ {
|
|
|
|
│ push %rbp
|
|
|
|
│ mov %rsp,%rbp
|
|
|
|
│ sub $0x10,%rsp
|
|
|
|
│ struct rb_node *parent;
|
|
|
|
│
|
|
|
|
│ if (RB_EMPTY_NODE(node))
|
|
|
|
│ mov (%rdi),%rdx
|
|
|
|
│ return n;
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
This option works with tui, stdio2 browsers.

|
|
|
annotate.use_offset::
|
|
|
|
Basing on a first address of a loaded function, offset can be used.
|
|
|
|
Instead of using original addresses of assembly code,
|
|
|
|
addresses subtracted from a base address can be printed.
|
|
|
|
Let's illustrate an example.
|
|

annotate.offset_level::
|
|
|
|
Default is '1', meaning just jump targets will have offsets show right beside
|
|
|
|
the instruction. When set to '2' 'call' instructions will also have its offsets
|
|
|
|
shown, 3 or higher will show offsets for all instructions.

hist.percentage::
|
|
|
|
This option control the way to calculate overhead of filtered entries -
|
|
|
|
that means the value of this option is effective only if there's a
|
|
|
|
filter (by comm, dso or symbol name). Suppose a following example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overhead Symbols
|
|
|
|
........ .......
|
|
|
|
33.33% foo
|
|
|
|
33.33% bar
|
|
|
|
33.33% baz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is an original overhead and we'll filter out the first 'foo'
|
|
|
|
entry. The value of 'relative' would increase the overhead of 'bar'
|
|
|
|
and 'baz' to 50.00% for each, while 'absolute' would show their
|
|
|
|
current overhead (33.33%).

This option controls display of column headers (like 'Overhead' and 'Symbol')
|
|

in 'report' and 'top'. If this option is false, they are hidden.
|
|
|
|
This option is only applied to TUI.

|
call-graph.*::
|
2020-03-26 00:40:53 +08:00
|
|
|
The following controls the handling of call-graphs (obtained via the
|
|
|
|
-g/--call-graph options).
|
2016-02-04 17:25:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
call-graph.record-mode::
|
2020-03-26 00:40:53 +08:00
|
|
|
The mode for user space can be 'fp' (frame pointer), 'dwarf'
|
|
|
|
and 'lbr'. The value 'dwarf' is effective only if libunwind
|
|
|
|
(or a recent version of libdw) is present on the system;
|
|
|
|
the value 'lbr' only works for certain cpus. The method for
|
|
|
|
kernel space is controlled not by this option but by the
|
|
|
|
kernel config (CONFIG_UNWINDER_*).
|
2016-02-04 17:25:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
call-graph.dump-size::
|
|
|
|
The size of stack to dump in order to do post-unwinding. Default is 8192 (byte).
|
|
|
|
When using dwarf into record-mode, the default size will be used if omitted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
call-graph.print-type::
|
|
|
|
The print-types can be graph (graph absolute), fractal (graph relative),
|
|
|
|
flat and folded. This option controls a way to show overhead for each callchain
|
|
|
|
entry. Suppose a following example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overhead Symbols
|
|
|
|
........ .......
|
|
|
|
40.00% foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|--50.00%--bar
|
|
|
|
| main
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--50.00%--baz
|
|
|
|
main
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This output is a 'fractal' format. The 'foo' came from 'bar' and 'baz' exactly
|
|
|
|
half and half so 'fractal' shows 50.00% for each
|
|
|
|
(meaning that it assumes 100% total overhead of 'foo').
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The 'graph' uses absolute overhead value of 'foo' as total so each of
|
|
|
|
'bar' and 'baz' callchain will have 20.00% of overhead.
|
|
|
|
If 'flat' is used, single column and linear exposure of call chains.
|
|
|
|
'folded' mean call chains are displayed in a line, separated by semicolons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
call-graph.order::
|
|
|
|
This option controls print order of callchains. The default is
|
|
|
|
'callee' which means callee is printed at top and then followed by its
|
|
|
|
caller and so on. The 'caller' prints it in reverse order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this option is not set and report.children or top.children is
|
|
|
|
set to true (or the equivalent command line option is given),
|
|
|
|
the default value of this option is changed to 'caller' for the
|
|
|
|
execution of 'perf report' or 'perf top'. Other commands will
|
|
|
|
still default to 'callee'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
call-graph.sort-key::
|
|
|
|
The callchains are merged if they contain same information.
|
|
|
|
The sort-key option determines a way to compare the callchains.
|
|
|
|
A value of 'sort-key' can be 'function' or 'address'.
|
|
|
|
The default is 'function'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
call-graph.threshold::
|
|
|
|
When there're many callchains it'd print tons of lines. So perf omits
|
|
|
|
small callchains under a certain overhead (threshold) and this option
|
|
|
|
control the threshold. Default is 0.5 (%). The overhead is calculated
|
|
|
|
by value depends on call-graph.print-type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
call-graph.print-limit::
|
|
|
|
This is a maximum number of lines of callchain printed for a single
|
|
|
|
histogram entry. Default is 0 which means no limitation.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-02-04 17:25:08 +08:00
|
|
|
report.*::
|
2016-08-13 07:41:01 +08:00
|
|
|
report.sort_order::
|
|
|
|
Allows changing the default sort order from "comm,dso,symbol" to
|
|
|
|
some other default, for instance "sym,dso" may be more fitting for
|
|
|
|
kernel developers.
|
2016-02-04 17:25:08 +08:00
|
|
|
report.percent-limit::
|
|
|
|
This one is mostly the same as call-graph.threshold but works for
|
|
|
|
histogram entries. Entries having an overhead lower than this
|
|
|
|
percentage will not be printed. Default is '0'. If percent-limit
|
|
|
|
is '10', only entries which have more than 10% of overhead will be
|
|
|
|
printed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
report.queue-size::
|
|
|
|
This option sets up the maximum allocation size of the internal
|
|
|
|
event queue for ordering events. Default is 0, meaning no limit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
report.children::
|
|
|
|
'Children' means functions called from another function.
|
|
|
|
If this option is true, 'perf report' cumulates callchains of children
|
|
|
|
and show (accumulated) total overhead as well as 'Self' overhead.
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the 'perf report' manual. The default is 'true'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
report.group::
|
|
|
|
This option is to show event group information together.
|
|
|
|
Example output with this turned on, notice that there is one column
|
|
|
|
per event in the group, ref-cycles and cycles:
|
|

perf record: Add --buildid-mmap option to enable PERF_RECORD_MMAP2's build id
Add --buildid-mmap option to enable build id in PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events.
It will only work if there's kernel support for that and it disables
build id cache (implies --no-buildid).
It's also possible to enable it permanently via config option in
~/.perfconfig file:
[record]
build-id=mmap
Also added build_id bit in the verbose output for perf_event_attr:
# perf record --buildid-mmap -vv
...
perf_event_attr:
type 1
size 120
...
build_id 1
Adding also missing text_poke bit.
Committer testing:
$ perf record -h build
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-B, --no-buildid do not collect buildids in perf.data
-N, --no-buildid-cache

--buildid-all Record build-id of all DSOs regardless of hits
--buildid-mmap Record build-id in map events

This option can be 'cache', 'no-cache', 'skip' or 'mmap'.
|
2016-02-04 17:25:13 +08:00
|
|
|
'cache' is to post-process data and save/update the binaries into

the build-id cache (in ~/.debug). This is the default.
|
|
|
|
But if this option is 'no-cache', it will not update the build-id cache.

'skip' skips post-processing and does not update the cache.

perf trace: Allow configuring default for perf_event_attr.inherit
I.f. if children should inherit the parent perf_event configuration,
i.e. if we should trace children as well or just the parent.
The default is to follow children, to disable this and have a behaviour
similar to strace, set this config option or use the --no_inherit 'perf
trace' option.
E.g.:
Default:
# perf config trace.no_inherit
# trace -e clone,*sleep time sleep 1
0.000 time/21107 clone(clone_flags: CHILD_CLEARTID|CHILD_SETTID|0x11, newsp: 0, child_tidptr: 0x7f7b8f9ae810) = 21108 (time)

Disable it:
# trace -e clone,*sleep time sleep 1
0.000 clone(clone_flags: CHILD_CLEARTID|CHILD_SETTID|0x11, newsp: 0, child_tidptr: 0x7ff41e100810) = 21414 (time)

perf trace: Allow choosing how to augment the tracepoint arguments
So far we used the libtraceevent printing routines when showing
tracepoint arguments, but since 'perf trace' has a lot of beautifiers
for syscall arguments, and since some of those can be used to augment
tracepoint arguments, add a routine to make use of those beautifiers
and allow the user to choose which one to use.
The default now is to use the same beautifiers used for the strace-like
sys_enter+sys_exit lines, but the user can choose the libtraceevent ones
by either using the:
perf trace --libtraceevent_print
command line option, or by setting:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[trace]
tracepoint_beautifiers = libtraceevent
For instance, here are some examples:
# perf trace -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "perf", pid: 5273 (perf), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
0.621 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffdd06d1140, rmtp: NULL) ...
0.628 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "sleep", prev_pid: 5273 (sleep), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 1, next_comm: "swapper/6", next_pid: 0, next_prio: 120)
1000.879 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
0.621 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
1001.026 exit_group(error_code: 0) = ?
1001.216 sched:sched_process_exit(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120)
#
And then using libtraceevent, as before:
# perf trace --libtraceevent_print -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=perf pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
0.739 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffeba6c2f40, rmtp: NULL) ...
0.747 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm=sleep prev_pid=5288 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120)
1000.902 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=sleep pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
0.739 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
1001.012 exit_group(error_code: 0) = ?
#
The new default allocates an array of 'struct syscall_arg_fmt' for the
tracepoint arguments and, just like with syscall arguments, tries to
find suitable syscall_arg__scnprintf_NAME() routines to augment those
tracepoint arguments based on their type (as in the tracefs "format"
file), or even in their name + type, for instance arguntents with names
ending in "fd" with type "int" get the fd scnprintf beautifier attached,
etc.
Soon this will take advantage of the kernel BTF information to augment
enumerations based on the tracefs "format" type info.
