perf-kwork - Tool to trace/measure kernel work properties
(latencies)
perf kwork {record|report|latency|timehist|top}
There are several variants of perf kwork:
'perf kwork record <command>' to record the kernel work
of an arbitrary workload.
'perf kwork report' to report the per kwork runtime.
'perf kwork latency' to report the per kwork latencies.
'perf kwork timehist' provides an analysis of kernel work events.
'perf kwork top' to report the task cpu usage.
Example usage:
perf kwork record -- sleep 1
perf kwork report
perf kwork report -b
perf kwork latency
perf kwork latency -b
perf kwork timehist
perf kwork top
perf kwork top -b
By default it shows the individual work events such as irq, workqeueu,
including the run time and delay (time between raise and actually entry):
Runtime start Runtime end Cpu Kwork name Runtime Delaytime
(TYPE)NAME:NUM (msec) (msec)

...
Times are in msec.usec.
-D, --dump-raw-trace=
Display verbose dump of the sched data.
-f, --force
Don’t complain, do it.
-k, --kwork
List of kwork to profile (irq, softirq, workqueue, sched,
etc)
-v, --verbose
Be more verbose. (show symbol address, etc)
OPTIONS for perf kwork report
.ft C
-b::
--use-bpf::
Use BPF to measure kwork runtime
-C::
--cpu::
Only show events for the given CPU(s) (comma separated list).
-i::
--input::
Input file name. (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
-n::
--name::
Only show events for the given name.
-s::
--sort::
Sort by key(s): runtime, max, count
-S::
--with-summary::
Show summary with statistics
--time::
Only analyze samples within given time window: <start>,<stop>. Times
have the format seconds.microseconds. If start is not given (i.e., time
string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If
stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes
to end of file.
OPTIONS for 'perf kwork latency'
.ft
-b, --use-bpf
Use BPF to measure kwork latency
-C, --cpu
Only show events for the given CPU(s) (comma separated list).
-i, --input
Input file name. (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
-n, --name
Only show events for the given name.
-s, --sort
Sort by key(s): avg, max, count
--time
Only analyze samples within given time window:
<start>,<stop>. Times have the format seconds.microseconds.
If start is not given (i.e., time string is ,x.y) then
analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If stop time is
not given (i.e, time string is x.y,) then analysis goes to
end of file.
-C, --cpu
Only show events for the given CPU(s) (comma separated list).
-g, --call-graph
Display call chains if present (default off).
-i, --input
Input file name. (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
-k, --vmlinux=<file>
Vmlinux pathname
-n, --name
Only show events for the given name.
--kallsyms=<file>
Kallsyms pathname
--max-stack
Maximum number of functions to display in backtrace, default
5.
--symfs=<directory>
Look for files with symbols relative to this directory.
--time
Only analyze samples within given time window:
<start>,<stop>. Times have the format seconds.microseconds.
If start is not given (i.e., time string is ,x.y) then
analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If stop time is
not given (i.e, time string is x.y,) then analysis goes to
end of file.
OPTIONS for perf kwork top
.ft C
-b::
--use-bpf::
Use BPF to measure task cpu usage.
-C::
--cpu::
Only show events for the given CPU(s) (comma separated list).
-i::
--input::
Input file name. (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)
-n::
--name::
Only show events for the given name.
-s::
--sort::
Sort by key(s): rate, runtime, tid
--time::
Only analyze samples within given time window: <start>,<stop>. Times
have the format seconds.microseconds. If start is not given (i.e., time
string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If
stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes
to end of file.
