From 566a08859f63a33746e25246c5cda0f52528d2e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Milian Wolff Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 13:34:15 +0200 Subject: perf trace: Add support for printing call chains on sys_exit events. Now, one can print the call chain for every encountered sys_exit event, e.g.: $ perf trace -e nanosleep --call-graph dwarf path/to/ex_sleep 1005.757 (1000.090 ms): ex_sleep/13167 nanosleep(...) = 0 syscall_slow_exit_work ([kernel.kallsyms]) syscall_return_slowpath ([kernel.kallsyms]) int_ret_from_sys_call ([kernel.kallsyms]) __nanosleep (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so) [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0) QThread::sleep (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0) main (path/to/ex_sleep) __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so) _start (path/to/ex_sleep) Note that it is advised to increase the number of mmap pages to prevent event losses when using this new feature. Often, adding `-m 10M` to the `perf trace` invocation is enough. This feature is also available in strace when built with libunwind via `strace -k`. Performance wise, this solution is much better: $ time find path/to/linux &> /dev/null real 0m0.051s user 0m0.013s sys 0m0.037s $ time perf trace -m 800M --call-graph dwarf find path/to/linux &> /dev/null real 0m2.624s user 0m1.203s sys 0m1.333s $ time strace -k find path/to/linux &> /dev/null real 0m35.398s user 0m10.403s sys 0m23.173s Note that it is currently not possible to configure the print output. Adding such a feature, similar to what is available in `perf script` via its `--fields` knob can be added later on.
