=============
NAME
----
perf-ftrace - simple wrapper for kernel's ftrace functionality
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf ftrace' <command>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The 'perf ftrace' command is a simple wrapper of kernel's ftrace
functionality. It only supports single thread tracing currently and
just reads trace_pipe in text and then write it to stdout.
The following options apply to perf ftrace.
OPTIONS
-------
-t::
--tracer=::
Tracer to use: function_graph or function.
-v::
--verbose=::
Verbosity level.
-p::
--pid=::
Trace on existing process id (comma separated list).
-a::
--all-cpus::
Force system-wide collection. Scripts run without a <command>
normally use -a by default, while scripts run with a <command>
normally don't - this option allows the latter to be run in
system-wide mode.
-C::
--cpu=::
Only trace for the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can
be provided as a comma separated list with no space like: 0,1.
Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2.
Default is to trace on all online CPUs.
-T::
--trace-funcs=::
Only trace functions given by the argument. Multiple functions
can be given by using this option more than once. The function
argument also can be a glob pattern. It will be passed to
'set_ftrace_filter' in tracefs.
-N::
--notrace-funcs=::
Do not trace functions given by the argument. Like -T option,
this can be used more than once to specify multiple functions
(or glob patterns). It will be passed to 'set_ftrace_notrace'
in tracefs.
-G::
--graph-funcs=::
Set graph filter on the given function (or a glob pattern).
This is useful for the function_graph tracer only and enables
tracing for functions executed from the given function.
This can be used more than once to specify multiple functions.
It will be passed to 'set_graph_function' in tracefs.
-g::
--nograph-funcs=::
Set graph notrace filter on the given function (or a glob pattern).
Like -G option, this is useful for the function_graph tracer only
and disables tracing for function executed from the given function.
This can be used more than once to specify multiple functions.
It will be passed to 'set_graph_notrace' in tracefs.
-D::
--graph-depth=::
Set max depth for function graph tracer to follow
