1TRACE-CMD-PROFILE(1) TRACE-CMD-PROFILE(1)
2
6 trace-cmd-profile - profile tasks running live
7
9 trace-cmd profile [OPTIONS] [command]
10
12 The trace-cmd(1) profile will start tracing just like
13 trace-cmd-record(1), with the --profile option, except that it does not
14 write to a file, but instead, it will read the events as they happen
15 and will update the accounting of the events. When the trace is
16 finished, it will report the results just like trace-cmd-report(1)
17 would do with its --profile option. In other words, the profile command
18 does the work of trace-cmd record --profile, and trace-cmd report
19 --profile without having to record the data to disk, in between.
20 The advantage of using the profile command is that the profiling can be
22 done over a long period of time where recording all events would take
23 up too much disk space.
24 This will enable several events as well as the function graph tracer
26 with a depth of one (if the kernel supports it). This is to show where
27 tasks enter and exit the kernel and how long they were in the kernel.
28 To disable calling function graph, use the -p option to enable another
30 tracer. To not enable any tracer, use -p nop.
31 All timings are currently in nanoseconds.
33
35 These are the same as trace-cmd-record(1) with the --profile option.
36 -p tracer
38 Set a tracer plugin to run instead of function graph tracing set to
39 depth of 1. To not run any tracer, use -p nop.
40 -S
42 Only enable the tracer or events speficied on the command line.
43 With this option, the function_graph tracer is not enabled, nor are
44 any events (like sched_switch), unless they are specifically
45 specified on the command line (i.e. -p function -e sched_switch -e
46 sched_wakeup)
47 -G
49 Set interrupt (soft and hard) events as global (associated to CPU
50 instead of tasks).
51 -o file
53 Write the output of the profile to file. This supersedes --stderr
54 -H event-hooks
56 Add custom event matching to connect any two events together.
57 Format is:
58 [<start_system>:]<start_event>,<start_match>[,<start_pid>]/
59 [<end_system>:]<end_event>,<end_match>[,<flags>]
60 The start_system:start_event (start_system is optional), is the event that
62 starts the timing.
63 start_match is the field in the start event that is to match with the
65 end_match in the end event.
66 start_pid is optional, as matches are attached to the tasks that run
68 the events, if another field should be used to find that task, then
69 it is specified with start_pid.
70 end_system:end_event is the event that ends the timing (end_system is
72 optional).
73 end_match is the field in end_match that wil match the start event field
75 start_match.
76 flags are optional and can be the following (case insensitive):
78 p : The two events are pinned to the same CPU (start and end happen
80 on the same CPU always).
81 s : The event should have a stack traced with it (enable stack tracing
83 for the start event).
84 g : The event is global (not associated to a task). start_pid is
86 not applicable with this flag.
87 --stderr
89 Redirect the output to stderr. The output of the command being
90 executed is not changed. This allows watching the command execute
91 and saving the output of the profile to another file.

426 The above uses -F to follow the sleep task. It filters only on events
428 that pertain to sleep. Note, in order to follow forks, you need to also
429 include the -c flag.
430 Other tasks will appear in the profile as well if events reference more
432 than one task (like sched_switch and sched_wakeup do. The "prev_pid"
433 and "next_pid" of sched_switch, and the "common_pid" and "pid" of
434 sched_wakeup).
435 Stack traces are attached to events that are related to them.
437 Taking a look at the above output:
439 Event: sched_switch:R (2) Total: 234559 Avg: 117279 Max: 129886 Min:104673
441 This shows that task was preempted (it’s in the running R state). It
443 was preempted twice [4m(2) for a total of 234,559 nanoseconds, with a
444 average preempt time of 117,279 ns, and maximum of 128,886 ns and
445 minimum of 104,673 ns.
446 The tree shows where it was preempted:

479 Event: sched_switch:S (1) Total: 1000513242 Avg: 1000513242 Max: 1000513242 Min:10005132
481 This shows that the task was scheduled out in the INTERRUPTIBLE state
483 once for a total of 1,000,513,242 ns (~1s), which makes sense as the
484 task was a "sleep 1".
485 After the schedule events, the function events are shown. By default
487 the profiler will use the function graph tracer if the depth setting is
488 supported by the kernel. It will set the depth to one which will only
489 trace the first function that enters the kernel. It will also record
490 the amount of time it was in the kernel.

506 Count of times the event was hit is always in parenthesis [4m(5).
508 The function graph trace may produce too much overhead as it is still
510 triggering (just not tracing) on all functions. To limit functions just
511 to system calls (not interrupts), add the following option:
512 -l 'sys_*' -l 'SyS_*'
514 To disable function graph tracing totally, use:
516 -p nop
518 To use function tracing instead (note, this will not record timings,
520 but just the count of times a function is hit):
521 -p function
523 Following the functions are the events that are recorded.

538 These are the raw system call events, with the raw system call ID after
540 the "sys_enter:" For example, "59" is execve(2). Why did it execute 5
541 times? Looking at a strace of this run, we can see:
542 execve("/usr/lib64/ccache/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], [/* 27 vars */] <unfinished ...>
544 <... execve resumed> ) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
545 execve("/usr/local/sbin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], [/* 27 vars */] <unfinished ...>
546 <... execve resumed> ) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
547 execve("/usr/local/bin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], [/* 27 vars */] <unfinished ...>
548 <... execve resumed> ) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
549 execve("/usr/sbin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], [/* 27 vars */] <unfinished ...>
550 <... execve resumed> ) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
551 execve("/usr/bin/sleep", ["sleep", "1"], [/* 27 vars */] <unfinished ...>
552 <... execve resumed> ) = 0
553 It attempted to execve the "sleep" command for each path in $PATH until
555 it found one.
556 The page_fault_user events show what userspace address took a page
558 fault.

578 The timings for the softirq_raise events measure the time it took from
580 the raised softirq to the time it executed.
581 The timings for the softirq_entry events measure the time the softirq
583 took to execute.
584 The stack traces for the softirqs (and possibly other events) are used
586 when an event has a stack attached to it. This can happen if the
587 profile ran more stacks than just the sched events, or when events are
588 dropped and stacks
589 To have full control of what gets traced, use the -S option that will
591 have trace-cmd not enable any events or the function_graph tracer. Only
592 the events listed on the command line are shown.
593 If only the time of kmalloc is needed to be seen, and where it was
595 recorded, using the -S option and enabling function_graph and stack
596 tracing for just the function needed will give the profile of only that
597 function.
