TRACE-CMD-REPORT(1) libtracefs Manual TRACE-CMD-REPORT(1)
trace-cmd-report - show in ASCII a trace created by trace-cmd
record
trace-cmd report [OPTIONS] [input-file [input-file ...]]
The trace-cmd(1) report command will output a human readable
report of a trace created by trace-cmd record.
-i input-file
By default, trace-cmd report will read the file trace.dat. But
the -i option open up the given input-file instead. Note, the
input file may also be specified as the last item on the
command line.
-e
This outputs the endianess of the file. trace-cmd report is
smart enough to be able to read big endian files on little
endian machines, and vise versa.
-f
This outputs the list of all functions that have been mapped
in the trace.dat file. Note, this list may contain functions
that may not appear in the trace, as it is the list of
mappings to translate function addresses into function names.
-P
This outputs the list of "trace_printk()" data. The raw trace
data points to static pointers in the kernel. This must be
stored in the trace.dat file.
-E
This lists the possible events in the file (but this list is
not necessarily the list of events in the file).
--events
This will list the event formats that are stored in the
trace.dat file.
--event regex
This will print events that match the given regex. If a colon
is specified, then the characters before the colon will be
used to match the system and the characters after the colon
will match the event.
trace-cmd report --event sys:read
The above will only match events where the system name contains "sys"
and the event name contains "read".
trace-cmd report --event read
The above will match all events that contain "read" in its name. Also it
may list all events of a system that contains "read" as well.
--check-events
This will parse the event format strings that are stored in
the trace.dat file and return whether the formats can be
parsed correctly. It will load plugins unless -N is specified.
-t
Print the full timestamp. The timestamps in the data file are
usually recorded to the nanosecond. But the default display of
the timestamp is only to the microsecond. To see the full
timestamp, add the -t option.
-F filter
Add a filter to limit what events are displayed. Filters
defined after an input file (specified with -i) only apply to
that input file. Filters provided before any input file is
given are considered global and apply to all input files.
The format of the filter is:
<events> ':' <filter>
<events> = SYSTEM'/'EVENT | SYSTEM | EVENT | <events> ',' <events>
<filter> = EVENT_FIELD <op> <value> | <filter> '&&' <filter> |
<filter> '||' <filter> | '(' <filter> ')' | '!' <filter>
<op> = '==' | '!=' | '>=' | '<=' | '>' | '<' | '&' | '|' | '^' |
'+' | '-' | '*' | '/' | '%'
<value> = NUM | STRING | EVENT_FIELD
SYSTEM is the name of the system to filter on. If the EVENT is left out,
then it applies to all events under the SYSTEM. If only one string is used
without the '/' to deliminate between SYSTEM and EVENT, then the filter
will be applied to all systems and events that match the given string.
Whitespace is ignored, such that "sched:next_pid==123" is equivalent to
"sched : next_pid == 123".
STRING is defined with single or double quotes (single quote must end with
single quote, and double with double). Whitespace within quotes are not
ignored.
The representation of a SYSTEM or EVENT may also be a regular expression
as defined by 'regcomp(3)'.
The EVENT_FIELD is the name of the field of an event that is being
filtered. If the event does not contain the EVENT_FIELD, that part of the
equation will be considered false.
-F 'sched : bogus == 1 || common_pid == 2'
The "bogus == 1" will always evaluate to FALSE because no event has a
field called "bogus", but the "common_pid == 2" will still be evaluated
since all events have the field "common_pid". Any "sched" event that was
traced by the process with the PID of 2 will be shown.
Note, the EVENT_FIELD is the field name as shown by an events format
(as displayed with *--events*), and not what is found in the output.
If the output shows "ID:foo" but the field that "foo" belongs to was
called "name" in the event format, then "name" must be used in the filter.
The same is true about values. If the value that is displayed is converted
by to a string symbol, the filter checks the original value and not the
value displayed. For example, to filter on all tasks that were in the
running state at a context switch:
-F 'sched/sched_switch : prev_state==0'
Although the output displays 'R', having 'prev_stat=="R"' will not work.
Note: You can also specify 'COMM' as an EVENT_FIELD. This will use the
task name (or comm) of the record to compare. For example, to filter out
all of the "trace-cmd" tasks:
-F '.*:COMM != "trace-cmd"'
-I
Do not print events where the HARDIRQ latency flag is set.
This will filter out most events that are from interrupt
context. Note, it may not filter out function traced functions
that are in interrupt context but were called before the
kernel "in interrupt" flag was set.
-S
Do not print events where the SOFTIRQ latency flag is set.
This will filter out most events that are from soft interrupt
context.
-v
This causes the following filters of -F to filter out the
matching events.
-v -F 'sched/sched_switch : prev_state == 0'
Will not display any sched_switch events that have a prev_state of 0.
Removing the *-v* will only print out those events.
-T
Test the filters of -F. After processing a filter string, the
resulting filter will be displayed for each event. This is
useful for using a filter for more than one event where a
field may not exist in all events. Also it can be used to make
sure there are no misspelled event field names, as they will
simply be ignored. -T is ignored if -F is not specified.
-V
Show verbose messages (see --verbose but only for the numbers)
-L
This will not load system wide plugins. It loads "local only".
That is what it finds in the ~/.trace-cmd/plugins directory.
-N
This will not load any plugins.
-n event-re
This will cause all events that match the option to ignore any
registered handler (by the plugins) to print the event. The
normal event will be printed instead. The event-re is a
regular expression as defined by regcomp(3).
--profile
With the --profile option, "trace-cmd report" will process all
the events first, and then output a format showing where tasks
have spent their time in the kernel, as well as where they are
blocked the most, and where wake up latencies are.
See trace-cmd-profile(1) for more details and examples.
-G
Set interrupt (soft and hard) events as global (associated to
CPU instead of tasks). Only works for --profile.
-H event-hooks
Add custom event matching to connect any two events together.
See trace-cmd-profile(1) for format.
-R
This will show the events in "raw" format. That is, it will
ignore the event’s print formatting and just print the
contents of each field.
-r event-re
This will cause all events that match the option to print its
raw fields. The event-re is a regular expression as defined by
regcomp(3).
-l
This adds a "latency output" format. Information about
interrupts being disabled, soft irq being disabled, the
"need_resched" flag being set, preempt count, and big kernel
lock are all being recorded with every event. But the default
display does not show this information. This option will set
display this information with 6 characters. When one of the
fields is zero or N/A a '.\' is shown.
<idle>-0 0d.h1. 106467.859747: function: ktime_get <-- tick_check_idle
The 0d.h1. denotes this information.
It starts with a number. This represents the CPU number that the event occurred
on.
The second character is one of the following:
'd' - Interrupts are disabled
'.' - Interrupts are enabled
'X' - Has flags that are not yet known by trace-cmd
The third character is the "need rescheduling" flag.
'N' - A schedule is set to take place
'.' - No scheduling is set
The fourth character represents the context the event was in when it triggered
'h' - Hard interrupt context
's' - Soft interrupt context
'H' - Hard interrupt context that interrupted a soft interrupt
'.' - Normal context
The next is a number (should be less than 10), that represents the preemption
depth (the number of times preempt_disable() is called without preempt_enable()).
'.' means preemption is enabled.
On some systems, "migrate disable" may exist, in which case a number will be
shown for that, or '.' meaning migration is enabled.
If lockdep in enabled on the system, then the number represents the depth of
locks that are held when the event triggered. '.' means no locks are held.
-w
If both the sched_switch and sched_wakeup events are enabled,
then this option will report the latency between the time the
task was first woken, and the time it was scheduled in.
-q
Quiet non critical warnings.
-O
Pass options to the trace-cmd plugins that are loaded.
-O plugin:var=value
The 'plugin:' and '=value' are optional. Value may be left off for options
that are boolean. If the 'plugin:' is left off, then any variable that matches
in all plugins will be set.
Example: -O fgraph:tailprint
--cpu <cpu list>
List of CPUs, separated by "," or ":", used for filtering the
events. A range of CPUs can be specified using "cpuX-cpuY"
notation, where all CPUs in the range between cpuX and cpuY
will be included in the list. The order of CPUs in the list
must be from lower to greater.
Example: "--cpu 0,3" - show events from CPUs 0 and 3
"--cpu 2-4" - show events from CPUs 2, 3 and 4
--cpus
List the CPUs that have data in the trace file then exit.
--first-event
Show the timestamp of the first event of all CPUs that have
data.
--last-event
Show the timestamp of the last event of all CPUs that have
data.
--stat
If the trace.dat file recorded the final stats (outputed at
the end of record) the --stat option can be used to retrieve
them.
--uname
If the trace.dat file recorded uname during the run, this will
retrieve that information.
--version
If the trace.dat file recorded the version of the executable
used to create it, report that version.
--ts-offset offset
Add (or subtract if negative) an offset for all timestamps of
the previous data file specified with -i. This is useful to
merge sort multiple trace.dat files where the difference in
the timestamp is known. For example if a trace is done on a
virtual guest, and another trace is done on the host. If the
host timestamp is 1000 units ahead of the guest, the following
can be done:
trace-cmd report -i host.dat --ts-offset -1000 -i guest.dat
This will subtract 1000 timestamp units from all the host events as it merges
with the guest.dat events. Note, the units is for the raw units recorded in
the trace. If the units are nanoseconds, the addition (or subtraction) from
the offset will be nanoseconds even if the displayed units are microseconds.
--ts2secs HZ
Convert the current clock source into a second (nanosecond
resolution) output. When using clocks like x86-tsc, if the
frequency is known, by passing in the clock frequency, this
will convert the time to seconds.
This option affects any trace.dat file given with *-i* proceeding it.
If this option comes before any *-i* option, then that value becomes
the default conversion for all other trace.dat files. If another
--ts2secs option appears after a *-i* trace.dat file, than that option
will override the default value.
Example: On a 3.4 GHz machine
trace-cmd record -p function -C x86-tsc
trace-cmd report --ts2ns 3400000000
The report will convert the cycles timestamps into a readable second
display. The default display resolution is microseconds, unless *-t*
is used.
The value of --ts-offset must still be in the raw timestamp units, even
with this option. The offset will be converted as well.
--ts-diff
Show the time differences between events. The difference will
appear in parenthesis just after the timestamp.
--ts-check
Make sure no timestamp goes backwards, and if it does, print
out a warning message of the fact.
--nodate
Ignore converting the timestamps to the date set by trace-cmd
record(3) --date option.
--raw-ts
Display raw timestamps, without any corrections.
--align-ts
Display timestamps aligned to the first event.
--verbose[=level]
Set the log level. Supported log levels are "none", "crit",
"err", "warn", "info", "debug", "all" or their identifiers
"0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6". Setting the log level to
specific value enables all logs from that and all previous
levels. The level will default to "info" if one is not
specified.
Example: enable all critical, error and warning logs
trace-cmd report --verbose=warning
Using a trace.dat file that was created with:
# trace-cmd record -p function -e all sleep 5

The above needs a little explanation. The filter specifies the
"sched" subsystem, which includes all scheduling events. Any event
that does not have the format field "prev_state", will evaluate
those expressions as FALSE, and will not produce a match. Only the
sched_switch event will match that. The second "-F" will include
the sched_waking event.

The above trace produces the wakeup latencies of the tasks. The
"sched_switch" event reports each individual latency after writing
the event information. At the end of the report, the average
wakeup latency is reported, as well as the maxim and minimum
latency and the timestamp they happened at. It does this for both
normal tasks as well as real-time tasks.

The above version will only show the wakeups and context switches
of Real Time tasks. The prio used inside the kernel starts at 0
for highest priority. That is prio 0 is equivalent to user space
real time priority 99, and priority 98 is equivalent to user space
real time priority 1. Prios less than 100 represent Real Time
tasks. Notice that the total wake up timings are identical to the
RT task timings.
