NAME

6       perf-mem - Profile memory accesses
7

SYNOPSIS

9       perf mem [<options>] (record [<command>] | report)
10

DESCRIPTION

12       "perf mem record" runs a command and gathers memory operation data from
13       it, into perf.data. Perf record options are accepted and are passed
14       through.
15
16       "perf mem report" displays the result. It invokes perf report with the
17       right set of options to display a memory access profile. By default,
18       loads and stores are sampled. Use the -t option to limit to loads or
19       stores.
20
21       Note that on Intel systems the memory latency reported is the
22       use-latency, not the pure load (or store latency). Use latency includes
23       any pipeline queueing delays in addition to the memory subsystem
24       latency.
25

OPTIONS

27       <command>...
28           Any command you can specify in a shell.
29
30       -i, --input=<file>
31           Input file name.
32
33       -f, --force
34           Don’t do ownership validation
35
36       -t, --type=<type>
37           Select the memory operation type: load or store (default:
38           load,store)
39
40       -D, --dump-raw-samples
41           Dump the raw decoded samples on the screen in a format that is easy
42           to parse with one sample per line.
43
44       -x, --field-separator=<separator>
45           Specify the field separator used when dump raw samples (-D option).
46           By default, The separator is the space character.
47
48       -C, --cpu=<cpu>
49           Monitor only on the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can be
50           provided as a comma-separated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of
51           CPUs are specified with -: 0-2. Default is to monitor all CPUS.
52
53       -U, --hide-unresolved
54           Only display entries resolved to a symbol.
55
56       -p, --phys-data
57           Record/Report sample physical addresses
58
59       --data-page-size
60           Record/Report sample data address page size
61

RECORD OPTIONS

63       -e, --event <event>
64           Event selector. Use perf mem record -e list to list available
65           events.
66
67       -K, --all-kernel
68           Configure all used events to run in kernel space.
69
70       -U, --all-user
71           Configure all used events to run in user space.
72
73       -v, --verbose
74           Be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc)
75
76       --ldlat <n>
77           Specify desired latency for loads event. Supported on Intel and
78           Arm64 processors only. Ignored on other archs.
79
80       In addition, for report all perf report options are valid, and for
81       record all perf record options.
