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
35To add Node.js USDT(User-Level Statically Defined Tracing): perf buildid-cache --add `which node`
36To report cacheline events from previous recording: perf c2c report
