1For a higher level overview, try: perf report --sort comm,dso 2Sample related events with: perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}:S' 3Compare performance results with: perf diff [<old file> <new file>] 4Boolean options have negative forms, e.g.: perf report --no-children 5Customize output of perf script with: perf script -F event,ip,sym 6Generate a script for your data: perf script -g <lang> 7Save output of perf stat using: perf stat record <target workload> 8Create an archive with symtabs to analyse on other machine: perf archive 9Search options using a keyword: perf report -h <keyword> 10Use parent filter to see specific call path: perf report -p <regex> 11List events using substring match: perf list <keyword> 12To see list of saved events and attributes: perf evlist -v 13Use --symfs <dir> if your symbol files are in non-standard locations 14To see callchains in a more compact form: perf report -g folded 15Show individual samples with: perf script 16Limit to show entries above 5% only: perf report --percent-limit 5 17Profiling branch (mis)predictions with: perf record -b / perf report 18Treat branches as callchains: perf report --branch-history 19To count events in every 1000 msec: perf stat -I 1000 20Print event counts in CSV format with: perf stat -x, 21If you have debuginfo enabled, try: perf report -s sym,srcline 22For memory address profiling, try: perf mem record / perf mem report 23For tracepoint events, try: perf report -s trace_fields 24To record callchains for each sample: perf record -g 25To record every process run by a user: perf record -u <user> 26Skip collecting build-id when recording: perf record -B 27To change sampling frequency to 100 Hz: perf record -F 100 28See assembly instructions with percentage: perf annotate <symbol> 29If you prefer Intel style assembly, try: perf annotate -M intel 30For hierarchical output, try: perf report --hierarchy 31Order by the overhead of source file name and line number: perf report -s srcline 32System-wide collection from all CPUs: perf record -a 33Show current config key-value pairs: perf config --list 34Show user configuration overrides: perf config --user --list 35
