At any +point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in +this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event +stream. + +Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that +needs userspace processing to augment the events stream with additional +information could make use of this facility. + +OPTIONS +------- +-b:: +--build-ids=:: + Inject build-ids into the output stream +-v:: +--verbose:: + Be more verbose. +-i:: +--input=:: + Input file name. (default: stdin) +-o:: +--output=:: + Output file name. (default: stdout) +-s:: +--sched-stat:: + Merge sched_stat and sched_switch for getting events where and how long + tasks slept. sched_switch contains a callchain where a task slept and + sched_stat contains a timeslice how long a task slept. + +--kallsyms=<file>:: + kallsyms pathname + +--itrace:: + Decode Instruction Tracing data, replacing it with synthesized events. + Options are: + +include::itrace.txt[] + +--strip:: + Use with --itrace to strip out non-synthesized events. + +-j:: +--jit:: + Process jitdump files by injecting the mmap records corresponding to jitted + functions. This option also generates the ELF images for each jitted function + found in the jitdumps files captured in the input perf.data file. Use this option + if you are monitoring environment using JIT runtimes, such as Java, DART or V8. + +-f:: +--force:: + Don't complain, do it. + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkperf:perf-record[1], linkperf:perf-report[1], linkperf:perf-archive[1] |
