From f90a24171a8179a29e5e1532fd5bb94e59b5380e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2019 16:20:13 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf script: Allow specifying event to switch on processing of other events Sometime we want to only consider events after something happens, so allow discarding events till such events is found, e.g.: Record all scheduler tracepoints and the sys_enter_nanosleep syscall event for the 'sleep 1' workload: # perf record -e sched:*,syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 31 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.032 MB perf.data (10 samples) ] # So we have these events in the generated perf data file: # perf evlist sched:sched_kthread_stop sched:sched_kthread_stop_ret sched:sched_waking sched:sched_wakeup sched:sched_wakeup_new sched:sched_switch sched:sched_migrate_task sched:sched_process_free sched:sched_process_exit sched:sched_wait_task sched:sched_process_wait sched:sched_process_fork sched:sched_process_exec sched:sched_stat_wait sched:sched_stat_sleep sched:sched_stat_iowait sched:sched_stat_blocked sched:sched_stat_runtime sched:sched_pi_setprio sched:sched_move_numa sched:sched_stick_numa sched:sched_swap_numa sched:sched_wake_idle_without_ipi syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep # Tip: use 'perf evlist --trace-fields' to show fields for tracepoint events # Then show all of the events that actually took place in this 'perf record' session: # perf script :13637 13637 [002] 108237.581529: sched:sched_waking: comm=perf pid=13638 prio=120 target_cpu=001 :13637 13637 [002] 108237.581537: sched:sched_wakeup: perf:13638 [120] success=1 CPU:001 sleep 13638 [001] 108237.581992: sched:sched_process_exec: filename=/usr/bin/sleep pid=13638 old_pid=13638 sleep 13638 [001] 108237.582286: syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep: rqtp: 0x7fff1948ac40, rmtp: 0x00000000 sleep 13638 [001] 108237.582289: sched:sched_stat_runtime: comm=sleep pid=13638 runtime=578104 [ns] vruntime=202889459556 [ns] sleep 13638 [001] 108237.582291: sched:sched_switch: sleep:13638 [120] S ==> swapper/1:0 [120] swapper 0 [001] 108238.582428: sched:sched_waking: comm=sleep pid=13638 prio=120 target_cpu=001 swapper 0 [001] 108238.582458: sched:sched_wakeup: sleep:13638 [120] success=1 CPU:001 sleep 13638 [001] 108238.582698: sched:sched_stat_runtime: comm=sleep pid=13638 runtime=173915 [ns] vruntime=202889633471 [ns] sleep 13638 [001] 108238.582782: sched:sched_process_exit: comm=sleep pid=13638 prio=120 # Now lets see only the ones that took place after a certain "marker": # perf script --switch-on syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep sleep 13638 [001] 108237.582289: sched:sched_stat_runtime: comm=sleep pid=13638 runtime=578104 [ns] vruntime=202889459556 [ns] sleep 13638 [001] 108237.582291: sched:sched_switch: sleep:13638 [120] S ==> swapper/1:0 [120] swapper 0 [001] 108238.582428: sched:sched_waking: comm=sleep pid=13638 prio=120 target_cpu=001 swapper 0 [001] 108238.582458: sched:sched_wakeup: sleep:13638 [120] success=1 CPU:001 sleep 13638 [001] 108238.582698: sched:sched_stat_runtime: comm=sleep pid=13638 runtime=173915 [ns] vruntime=202889633471 [ns] sleep 13638 [001] 108238.582782: sched:sched_process_exit: comm=sleep pid=13638 prio=120 # Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Florian Weimer Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: William Cohen Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-f1oo0ufdhrkx6nhy2lj1ierm@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/Documentation/perf-script.txt | 3 +++ tools/perf/builtin-script.c | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 29 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-script.txt b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-script.txt index caaab28f8400..9936819aae1c 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-script.txt +++ b/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-script.txt @@ -417,6 +417,9 @@ include::itrace.txt[] For itrace only show specified functions and their callees for itrace.
