SYNOPSIS

|
--------
|

[verse]

'perf timechart' [<timechart options>] {record} [<record options>]

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
There are two variants of perf timechart:
|
|
|
|
'perf timechart record <command>' to record the system level events
|
|
of an arbitrary workload.
|
|
|
|
'perf timechart' to turn a trace into a Scalable Vector Graphics file,
|
|
that can be viewed with popular SVG viewers such as 'Inkscape'.
|
|

|
|
-T::
|
|
--tasks-only::

EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
$ perf timechart record git pull
|
|
|
|
[ perf record: Woken up 13 times to write data ]
|
|
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.253 MB perf.data (~185801 samples) ]
|
|
|
|
$ perf timechart
|
|
|
|
Written 10.2 seconds of trace to output.svg.
|
|
|
|
Record system-wide timechart:
|
|
|
|
$ perf timechart record
|
|
|
|
then generate timechart and highlight 'gcc' tasks:
|
|
|
|
$ perf timechart --highlight gcc
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
--proc-num::
|
|
Print task info for at least given number of tasks.
|
|
-t::
|
|
--topology::
|
|
Sort CPUs according to topology.
|
|
--highlight=<duration_nsecs|task_name>::
|
|
Highlight tasks (using different color) that run more than given
|
|
duration or tasks with given name. If number is given it's interpreted
|
|
as number of nanoseconds. If non-numeric string is given it's
|
|
interpreted as task name.
|

|
|
