+

Note: A higher value indicates heavier CPU load but more sampling data.

+

--period <num>

+

Specifies the number of occurrence times of an event that triggers a sampling. That is, a sampling is performed once when the event occurs the specified number of times.

+

-e

+

Specifies the events to monitor. You can run the list command to list all the events supported. event:u indicates an event in the user space, and event:k indicates an event in the kernel space.

--offcpu

+

Monitors the CPU scheduling event, which is equivalent to the --period 1 -e sched:sched_switch event.

+

-j <branch_filter1>[,branch_filter2]...

+

Monitors the branch prediction events. Branch prediction tries to predict the next instruction to be executed if there are multiple if else conditions.

+

-s / --call-stack <fp \| dwarf[,size]>

+
