* display perf.data header * display PIDs of user stacks * added option to change color scheme * default to blue/green color scheme to improve accessibility * correctly identify kernel stacks when kernel-debuginfo is installed Signed-off-by: Andreas Gerstmayr <agerstmayr@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210830164729.116049-1-agerstmayr@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2020-06-22perf flamegraph: Explicitly set utf-8 encodingAndreas Gerstmayr1-3/+5
On some platforms the default encoding is not utf-8, which causes an UnicodeDecodeError when reading the flamegraph template and writing the flamegraph Signed-off-by: Andreas Gerstmayr <agerstmayr@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200619153232.203537-1-agerstmayr@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2020-04-16perf script: Add flamegraph.py scriptAndreas Gerstmayr1-0/+124
This script works in tandem with d3-flame-graph to generate flame graphs from perf. It supports two output formats: JSON and HTML (the default). The HTML format will look for a standalone d3-flame-graph template file in /usr/share/d3-flame-graph/d3-flamegraph-base.html and fill in the collected stacks. Usage: perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60 perf script report flamegraph Combined: perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 60 Committer testing: Tested both with "PYTHON=python3" and with the default, that uses python2-devel: Complete set of instructions: $ mkdir /tmp/build/perf $ make PYTHON=python3 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin $ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH $ perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60 $ perf script report flamegraph Now go and open the generated flamegraph.html file in a browser. At first this required building with PYTHON=python3, but after I reported this Andreas was kind enough to send a patch making it work with both python and python3.
