NAME

|
----
|
|
perf-record - Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'perf record' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-l] [-a] <command>
|
|
'perf record' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-l] [-a] -- <command> [<options>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This command runs a command and gathers a performance counter profile
|
|
from it, into perf.data - without displaying anything.
|
|
|
|
This file can then be inspected later on, using 'perf report'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<command>...::
|
|
Any command you can specify in a shell.
|
|
|
|
-e::
|
|
--event=::
|
|
Select the PMU event. Selection can be:
|
|
|
|
- a symbolic event name (use 'perf list' to list all events)
|
|
|
|
- a raw PMU event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
|
|
hexadecimal event descriptor.
|
|
|
|
- a hardware breakpoint event in the form of '\mem:addr[:access]'
|
|
where addr is the address in memory you want to break in.
|
|
Access is the memory access type (read, write, execute) it can
|
|
be passed as follows: '\mem:addr[:[r][w][x]]'.
|
|
If you want to profile read-write accesses in 0x1000, just set
|
|
'mem:0x1000:rw'.
