perf-timechart(1)
=================
NAME
----
perf-timechart - Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf timechart' {record}
DESCRIPTION
-----------
There are two variants of perf timechart:
'perf timechart record <command>' to record the system level events
of an arbitrary workload.
'perf timechart' to turn a trace into a Scalable Vector Graphics file,
that can be viewed with popular SVG viewers such as 'Inkscape'.
OPTIONS
-------
-o::
--output=::
Select the output file (default: output.svg)
-i::
--input=::
Select the input file (default: perf.data)
perf util: Make the timechart SVG width dynamic This patch adds a command line option for timechart that allows the user to specify the width of the SVG file. This patch also makes sure that each second of recording has at least 200 units (pixels at 96 DPI) of width. This impacts recordings longer than 5 seconds; recordings shorter than 5 second will scale up to have a width of 1000 units for the whole recording (as before).

-w::
--width=::
Select the width of the SVG file (default: 1000)
perf timechart: Add a process filter During the Kernel Summit demo of perf/ftrace/timechart, there was a feature request to have a process filter for timechart so that you can zoom into one or a few processes that you are really interested in. This patch adds basic support for this feature, the -p (--process) option now can select a PID or a process name to be shown. Multiple -p options are allowed, and the combined set will be included in the output.

perf timechart: Add a power-only mode For doing work on the Linux power management components, I need to make long (30+ seconds) traces. Currently, this then results in a HUGE svg file, with mostly process data that isn't interesting. This patch adds a --power-only mode to perf timechart that only outputs the CPU power section of the SVG; this significantly reduces the size of the SVG file, making even 30+ second traces viewable with inkscape. As a minor tweak for the same effect, the minimum text size is decreased; current inkscape cannot zoom in deep enough to show text this small, but it reduces inkscape compute time.
