perf-top(1)
===========

NAME
----
perf-top - System profiling tool.

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf top' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [<options>]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command generates and displays a performance counter profile in realtime.


OPTIONS
-------
-a::
--all-cpus::
        System-wide collection.  (default)

-c <count>::
--count=<count>::
	Event period to sample.

-C <cpu>::
--CPU=<cpu>::
	CPU to profile.

-d <seconds>::
--delay=<seconds>::
	Number of seconds to delay between refreshes.

-e <event>::
--event=<event>::
	Select the PMU event. Selection can be a symbolic event name
	(use 'perf list' to list all events) or a raw PMU
	event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
	hexadecimal event descriptor.

-E <entries>::
--entries=<entries>::
	Display this many functions.

-f <count>::
--count-filter=<count>::
	Only display functions with more events than this.

-F <freq>::
--freq=<freq>::
	Profile at this frequency.

-i::
--inherit::
	Child tasks inherit counters, only makes sens with -p option.

-k <path>::
--vmlinux=<path>::
	Path to vmlinux.  Required for annotation functionality.

-m <pages>::
--mmap-pages=<pages>::
	Number of mmapped data pages.

-p <pid>::
--pid=<pid>::
	Profile events on existing pid.

-r <priority>::
--realtime=<priority>::
	Collect data with this RT SCHED_FIFO priority.

-s <symbol>::
--sym-annotate=<symbol>::
        Annotate this symbol.  Requires -k option.

-v::
--verbose::
	Be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc).

-z::
--zero::
	Zero history across display updates.

INTERACTIVE PROMPTING KEYS
--------------------------

[d]::
	Display refresh delay.

[e]::
	Number of entries to display.

[E]::
	Event to display when multiple counters are active.

[f]::
	Profile display filter (>= hit count).

[F]::
	Annotation display filter (>= % of total).

[s]::
	Annotate symbol.

[S]::
	Stop annotation, return to full profile display.

[w]::
	Toggle between weighted sum and individual count[E]r profile.

[z]::
	Toggle event count zeroing across display updates.

[qQ]::
	Quit.

Pressing any unmapped key displays a menu, and prompts for input.
