@ -24,23 +28,53 @@ There are several variants of perf trace:
|
|||
available via 'perf trace -l'). The following variants allow you to
|
||||
record and run those scripts:
|
||||
|
||||
'perf trace record <script>' to record the events required for 'perf
|
||||
trace report'. <script> is the name displayed in the output of
|
||||
'perf trace --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any language
|
||||
extension.
|
||||
'perf trace record <script> <command>' to record the events required
|
||||
for 'perf trace report'. <script> is the name displayed in the
|
||||
output of 'perf trace --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any
|
||||
language extension. If <command> is not specified, the events are
|
||||
recorded using the -a (system-wide) 'perf record' option.
|
||||
|
||||
'perf trace report <script>' to run and display the results of
|
||||
<script>. <script> is the name displayed in the output of 'perf
|
||||
'perf trace report <script> [args]' to run and display the results
|
||||
of <script>. <script> is the name displayed in the output of 'perf
|
||||
trace --list' i.e. the actual script name minus any language
|
||||
extension. The perf.data output from a previous run of 'perf trace
|
||||
record <script>' is used and should be present for this command to
|
||||
succeed.
|

succeed. [args] refers to the (mainly optional) args expected by
|
||||
the script.
|
||||
|
||||
'perf trace <script> <required-script-args> <command>' to both
|
||||
record the events required for <script> and to run the <script>
|
||||
using 'live-mode' i.e. without writing anything to disk. <script>
|
||||
is the name displayed in the output of 'perf trace --list' i.e. the
|
||||
actual script name minus any language extension. If <command> is
|
||||
not specified, the events are recorded using the -a (system-wide)
|
||||
'perf record' option. If <script> has any required args, they
|
||||
should be specified before <command>. This mode doesn't allow for
|
||||
optional script args to be specified; if optional script args are
|
||||
desired, they can be specified using separate 'perf trace record'
|
||||
and 'perf trace report' commands, with the stdout of the record step
|
||||
piped to the stdin of the report script, using the '-o -' and '-i -'
|
||||
options of the corresponding commands.
|
||||
|
||||
'perf trace <top-script>' to both record the events required for
|
||||
<top-script> and to run the <top-script> using 'live-mode'
|
||||
i.e. without writing anything to disk. <top-script> is the name
|
||||
displayed in the output of 'perf trace --list' i.e. the actual
|
||||
script name minus any language extension; a <top-script> is defined
|
||||
as any script name ending with the string 'top'.
|
||||
|
||||
[<record-options>] can be passed to the record steps of 'perf trace
|
||||
record' and 'live-mode' variants; this isn't possible however for
|
||||
<top-script> 'live-mode' or 'perf trace report' variants.

information on how to write and run your own trace scripts.
