perf-record(1)
==============
NAME
----
perf-record - Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf record' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-l] [-a] <command>
'perf record' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-l] [-a] -- <command> [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command runs a command and gathers a performance counter profile
from it, into perf.data - without displaying anything.
This file can then be inspected later on, using 'perf report'.
OPTIONS
-------
<command>...::
Any command you can specify in a shell.
-e::
--event=::
Select the PMU event. Selection can be:
- a symbolic event name (use 'perf list' to list all events)
- a raw PMU event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
hexadecimal event descriptor.
- a hardware breakpoint event in the form of '\mem:addr[:access]'
where addr is the address in memory you want to break in.
Access is the memory access type (read, write, execute) it can
be passed as follows: '\mem:addr[:[r][w][x]]'.
If you want to profile read-write accesses in 0x1000, just set
'mem:0x1000:rw'.
-a::
System-wide collection.
-l::
Scale counter values.
-p::
--pid=::
Record events on existing pid.
-r::
--realtime=::
Collect data with this RT SCHED_FIFO priority.
-A::
--append::
Append to the output file to do incremental profiling.
-f::
--force::
Overwrite existing data file. (deprecated)
-c::
--count=::
Event period to sample.
-o::
--output=::
Output file name.
-i::
--no-inherit::
Child tasks do not inherit counters.
-F::
--freq=::
Profile at this frequency.
-m::
--mmap-pages=::
Number of mmap data pages.
-g::
--call-graph::
Do call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording.
-q::
--quiet::
Don't print any message, useful for scripting.
-v::
--verbose::
Be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc).
-s::
--stat::
Per thread counts.
-d::
--data::
Sample addresses.
-n::
--no-samples::
Don't sample.
-R::
--raw-samples::
Collect raw sample records from all opened counters (default for tracepoint counters).
-C::
--cpu::
Collect samples only on the list of cpus provided. Multiple CPUs can be provided as a
comma-sperated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2.
In per-thread mode with inheritance mode on (default), samples are captured only when
the thread executes on the designated CPUs. Default is to monitor all CPUs.
-N::
--no-buildid-cache::
Do not update the builid cache. This saves some overhead in situations
where the information in the perf.data file (which includes buildids)
is sufficient.
