It graphs +every module init call found, through both kernel and user modes. The +timeline is split into two phases: kernel mode & user mode. kernel mode +represents a single process run on a single cpu with serial init calls. +Once user mode begins, the init process is called, and the init calls +start working in parallel. +.PP +If no specific command is given, the tool reads the current dmesg log and +outputs a new timeline. +.PP +The tool can also augment the timeline with ftrace data on custom target +functions as well as full trace callgraphs. +.PP +Generates output files in subdirectory: boot-yymmdd-HHMMSS + html timeline : <hostname>_boot.html + raw dmesg file : <hostname>_boot_dmesg.txt + raw ftrace file : <hostname>_boot_ftrace.txt +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB-h\fR +Print this help text +.TP +\fB-v\fR +Print the current tool version +.TP +\fB-addlogs\fR +Add the dmesg log to the html output. It will be viewable by +clicking a button in the timeline. +.TP +\fB-result \fIfile\fR +Export a results table to a text file for parsing. +.TP +\fB-o \fIname\fR +Overrides the output subdirectory name when running a new test. +Use {date}, {time}, {hostname} for current values. +.sp +e.g. boot-{hostname}-{date}-{time} +.SS "advanced" +.TP +\fB-f or -callgraph\fR +Use ftrace to create initcall callgraphs (default: disabled). If -func +is not used there will be one callgraph per initcall. This can produce +very large outputs, i.e. 10MB - 100MB. +.TP +\fB-fstat\fR +Use ftrace to add function detail (default: disabled) +.TP +\fB-maxdepth \fIlevel\fR +limit the callgraph trace depth to \fIlevel\fR (default: 2). This is +the best way to limit the output size when using -callgraph. +.TP +\fB-mincg \fIt\fR +Discard all callgraphs shorter than \fIt\fR milliseconds (default: 0=all). +This reduces the html file size as there can be many tiny callgraphs +which are barely visible in the timeline. +The value is a float: e.g. 0.001 represents 1 us. +.TP +\fB-cgfilter \fI"func1,func2,..."\fR +Reduce callgraph output in the timeline by limiting it to a list of calls. The +argument can be a single function name or a comma delimited list. +(default: none) +.TP +\fB-cgskip \fIfile\fR +Reduce callgraph output in the timeline by skipping over uninteresting +functions in the trace, e.g. printk or console_unlock. The functions listed +in this file will show up as empty leaves in the callgraph with only the start/end +times displayed. +(default: none) +.TP +\fB-timeprec \fIn\fR +Number of significant digits in timestamps (0:S, 3:ms, [6:us]) +.TP +\fB-expandcg\fR +pre-expand the callgraph data in the html output (default: disabled) +.TP +\fB-func \fI"func1,func2,..."\fR +Instead of tracing each initcall, trace a custom list of functions (default: do_one_initcall) +.TP +\fB-reboot\fR +Reboot the machine and generate a new timeline automatically.
