If the object file has debug symbols then the source code will be +displayed alongside assembly code. + +If there is no debug info in the object, then annotated assembly is displayed. + +OPTIONS +------- +-i:: +--input=:: + Input file name. (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo) + +-d:: +--dsos=:: + Only consider symbols in these dsos. +-s:: +--symbol=:: + Symbol to annotate. + +-f:: +--force:: + Don't do ownership validation. + +-v:: +--verbose:: + Be more verbose. (Show symbol address, etc) + +-q:: +--quiet:: + Do not show any message. (Suppress -v) + +-n:: +--show-nr-samples:: + Show the number of samples for each symbol + +-D:: +--dump-raw-trace:: + Dump raw trace in ASCII. + +-k:: +--vmlinux=:: + vmlinux pathname. + +--ignore-vmlinux:: + Ignore vmlinux files. + +-m:: +--modules:: + Load module symbols. WARNING: use only with -k and LIVE kernel. + +-l:: +--print-line:: + Print matching source lines (may be slow). + +-P:: +--full-paths:: + Don't shorten the displayed pathnames. + +--stdio:: Use the stdio interface. + +--stdio2:: Use the stdio2 interface, non-interactive, uses the TUI formatting. + +--stdio-color=:: + 'always', 'never' or 'auto', allowing configuring color output + via the command line, in addition to via "color.ui" .perfconfig. + Use '--stdio-color always' to generate color even when redirecting + to a pipe or file. Using just '--stdio-color' is equivalent to + using 'always'. + +--tui:: Use the TUI interface. Use of --tui requires a tty, if one is not + present, as when piping to other commands, the stdio interface is + used. This interfaces starts by centering on the line with more + samples, TAB/UNTAB cycles through the lines with more samples. + +--gtk:: Use the GTK interface. + +-C:: +--cpu=:: Only report samples for the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can + be provided as a comma-separated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of + CPUs are specified with -: 0-2. Default is to report samples on all + CPUs. + +--asm-raw:: + Show raw instruction encoding of assembly instructions. + +--show-total-period:: Show a column with the sum of periods. + +--source:: + Interleave source code with assembly code. Enabled by default, + disable with --no-source. + +--symfs=:: + Look for files with symbols relative to this directory. + +-M:: +--disassembler-style=:: Set disassembler style for objdump. + +--objdump=:: + Path to objdump binary. + +--skip-missing:: + Skip symbols that cannot be annotated. + +--group:: + Show event group information together + +--percent-type:: + Set annotation percent type from following choices: + global-period, local-period, global-hits, local-hits + + The local/global keywords set if the percentage is computed + in the scope of the function (local) or the whole data (global). + The period/hits keywords set the base the percentage is computed + on - the samples period or the number of samples (hits). + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkperf:perf-record[1], linkperf:perf-report[1] -- cgit v1.2.3
