NAME
----
perf-sched - Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies)

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf sched' {record|latency|map|replay|script|timehist}

DESCRIPTION
-----------
There are several variants of 'perf sched':

  'perf sched record <command>' to record the scheduling events
  of an arbitrary workload.

  'perf sched latency' to report the per task scheduling latencies
  and other scheduling properties of the workload.

  'perf sched script' to see a detailed trace of the workload that
   was recorded (aliased to 'perf script' for now).

  'perf sched replay' to simulate the workload that was recorded
  via perf sched record. (this is done by starting up mockup threads
  that mimic the workload based on the events in the trace. These
  threads can then replay the timings (CPU runtime and sleep patterns)
  of the workload as it occurred when it was recorded - and can repeat
  it a number of times, measuring its performance.)

  'perf sched map' to print a textual context-switching outline of
  workload captured via perf sched record.  Columns stand for
  individual CPUs, and the two-letter shortcuts stand for tasks that
  are running on a CPU. A '*' denotes the CPU that had the event, and
  a dot signals an idle CPU.

  'perf sched timehist' provides an analysis of scheduling events.
    
    Example usage:
        perf sched record -- sleep 1
        perf sched timehist
    
   By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the wait
   time (time between sched-out and next sched-in events for the task), the
   task scheduling delay (time between wakeup and actually running) and run
   time for the task:
    
                time    cpu  task name             wait time  sch delay   run time
                             [tid/pid]                (msec)     (msec)     (msec)

   Times are in msec.usec.

OPTIONS
-------
-i::
--input=<file>::
        Input file name. (default: perf.data unless stdin is a fifo)

-v::
--verbose::
        Be more verbose. (show symbol address, etc)

-D::
--dump-raw-trace=::
        Display verbose dump of the sched data.

OPTIONS for 'perf sched map'
----------------------------

--compact::
	Show only CPUs with activity. Helps visualizing on high core
	count systems.

--cpus::
	Show just entries with activities for the given CPUs.

--color-cpus::
	Highlight the given cpus.

--color-pids::
	Highlight the given pids.

OPTIONS for 'perf sched timehist'
---------------------------------
-k::
--vmlinux=<file>::
    vmlinux pathname

--kallsyms=<file>::
    kallsyms pathname

-g::
--no-call-graph::
	Do not display call chains if present.

--max-stack::
	Maximum number of functions to display in backtrace, default 5.

-s::
--summary::
    Show only a summary of scheduling by thread with min, max, and average
    run times (in sec) and relative stddev.

-S::
--with-summary::
    Show all scheduling events followed by a summary by thread with min,
    max, and average run times (in sec) and relative stddev.

--symfs=<directory>::
    Look for files with symbols relative to this directory.

-V::
--cpu-visual::
	Show visual aid for sched switches by CPU: 'i' marks idle time,
	's' are scheduler events.

-w::
--wakeups::
	Show wakeup events.

-M::
--migrations::
	Show migration events.

-I::
--idle-hist::
	Show idle-related events only.

--time::
	Only analyze samples within given time window: <start>,<stop>. Times
	have the format seconds.microseconds. If start is not given (i.e., time
	string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at the beginning of the file. If
	stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis goes
	to end of file.
