==============
NAME
----
perf-report - Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the profile
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf report' [-i <file> | --input=file]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command displays the performance counter profile information recorded
via perf record.
OPTIONS
-------
-i::
--input=::
Input file name. (default: perf.data)
-d::
--dsos=::
Only consider symbols in these dsos. CSV that understands
file://filename entries.
-n
--show-nr-samples
Show the number of samples for each symbol
-T
--threads
Show per-thread event counters
-C::
--comms=::
Only consider symbols in these comms. CSV that understands
file://filename entries.
-S::
--symbols=::
Only consider these symbols. CSV that understands
file://filename entries.
perf report: Adjust column width to the values sampled Auto-adjust column width of perf report output to the longest occuring string length. Example: [acme@doppio pahole]$ perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol | head -13 12.79% pahole /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so [.] __libdw_find_attr 8.90% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] _int_malloc 8.68% pahole /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so [.] __libdw_form_val_len 8.15% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] __GI_strcmp 6.80% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] __tsearch 5.54% pahole ./build/libdwarves.so.1.0.0 [.] tag__recode_dwarf_type [acme@doppio pahole]$ [acme@doppio pahole]$ perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol -d /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so | head -10 21.92% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] _int_malloc 20.08% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] __GI_strcmp 16.75% pahole /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so [.] __tsearch [acme@doppio pahole]$ Also add these extra options to control the new behaviour: -w, --field-width Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal readability. -t, --field-separator: Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output) with a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.

-w::
--field-width=::
Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal
readability.
-t::
--field-separator=::
Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output)
with a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.
-g [type,min]::
--call-graph::
Display callchains using type and min percent threshold.
type can be either:
- flat: single column, linear exposure of callchains.
- graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates.
- fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of
the tree is considered as a new profiled object. +
Default: fractal,0.5.
