1perf-inject(1) 2============== 3 4NAME 5---- 6perf-inject - Filter to augment the events stream with additional information 7 8SYNOPSIS 9-------- 10[verse] 11'perf inject <options>' 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout. At any 16point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in 17this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event 18stream. 19 20Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that 21needs userspace processing to augment the events stream with additional 22information could make use of this facility. 23 24OPTIONS 25------- 26-b:: 27--build-ids=:: 28 Inject build-ids into the output stream 29-v:: 30--verbose:: 31 Be more verbose. 32-i:: 33--input=:: 34 Input file name. (default: stdin) 35-o:: 36--output=:: 37 Output file name. (default: stdout) 38-s:: 39--sched-stat:: 40 Merge sched_stat and sched_switch for getting events where and how long 41 tasks slept. sched_switch contains a callchain where a task slept and 42 sched_stat contains a timeslice how long a task slept. 43 44--kallsyms=<file>:: 45 kallsyms pathname 46 47--itrace:: 48 Decode Instruction Tracing data, replacing it with synthesized events. 49 Options are: 50 51 i synthesize instructions events 52 b synthesize branches events 53 c synthesize branches events (calls only) 54 r synthesize branches events (returns only) 55 x synthesize transactions events 56 e synthesize error events 57 d create a debug log 58 g synthesize a call chain (use with i or x) 59 60 The default is all events i.e. the same as --itrace=ibxe 61 62 In addition, the period (default 100000) for instructions events 63 can be specified in units of: 64 65 i instructions 66 t ticks 67 ms milliseconds 68 us microseconds 69 ns nanoseconds (default) 70 71 Also the call chain size (default 16, max. 1024) for instructions or 72 transactions events can be specified. 73 74SEE ALSO 75-------- 76linkperf:perf-record[1], linkperf:perf-report[1], linkperf:perf-archive[1] 77
