uftrace-report - Print statistics and summary for trace data
uftrace report [options]
This command collects trace data from a given data file and prints statistics
and summary information. It shows function statistics by default, but can show
task statistics with the --task option and show differences between traces
with the --diff option.
-f FIELD, --output-fields=FIELD
: Customize field in the output. Possible values are: total, total-avg,
total-min, total-max, total-stdv, self, self-avg, self-min, self-max,
self-stdv, size, call and all. Multiple fields can be set by using comma.
Special field of 'none' can be used (solely) to hide all fields and 'all' can be used
to show all fields.
Default is 'total,self,call'. See FIELDS.
stdv stands for the relative standard deviation (RSD),
which is the standard deviation expressed as a percentage of the mean.
The relative standard deviation is calculated using the formula:
\[ RSD = \left( \frac{\sigma}{\mu} \right) \times 100\% \]
where:
- \( \sigma \) represents the standard deviation.
- \( \mu \) represents the mean of the function's time.
-s KEYS[,KEYS,...], --sort=KEYS[,KEYS,...]
: Sort functions by given KEYS. Multiple KEYS can be given, separated by
comma (,). Possible keys are total (time), total-avg, total-min,
total-max, total-stdv, self (time), self-avg, self-min, self-max,
self-stdv, size, call and func. But if either --avg-total or
--avg-self is used, the possible keys can be avg, min and max
that apply to total or self time respectively.
--avg-total : Show average, min, max, relative standard deviation of each function's total time.
--avg-self : Show average, min, max, relative standard deviation of each function's self time.
--task
: Report task summary information rather than function statistics.
Customize field in the output with -f option. Possible values are: total,
self, func and tid. Multiple fields can be set by using comma.
Special field of 'none' can be used (solely) to hide all fields.
Default is 'total,self,func,tid'. See TASK FIELDS.
--diff=DATA : Report differences between the input trace data and the given DATA.
--diff-policy=POLICY : Apply custom diff policy. Available values are: "abs", "no-abs", "percent", "no-percent", "compact" and "full". The "abs" is to sort diff result using absolute value so positive and negative entries can be shown together while "no-abs" will show positive entries first and then negative ones. The "percent" is to show diff in percentage while "no-percent" is to show the values. The "full" is to show all three columns of baseline, new data and difference while "compact" only shows the difference. The default is "abs", "compact" and "no-percent".
--sort-column=IDX
: When --diff is used with "full" policy, 3 columns will be shown for each
total time, self time and call count. This option selects the index of the
column to be used as a sort key. Index 0 is for original data given by the
--data option, index 1 is for data given by the --diff option, and index
2 is for (percentage) differences between the two data.
--srcline : Show source location of each function if available.
--format=TYPE : Show format style output. Currently, normal and html styles are supported.
-F FUNC, --filter=FUNC
: Set filter to trace selected functions and their children functions.
This option can be used more than once.
See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.
-N FUNC, --notrace=FUNC
: Set filter not to trace selected functions and their children functions.
This option can be used more than once.
See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.
-C FUNC, --caller-filter=FUNC
: Set filter to trace callers of selected functions only.
This option can be used more than once.
See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.
-T TRG, --trigger=TRG
: Set trigger on selected functions. This option can be used more than once.
See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of triggers.
-D DEPTH, --depth DEPTH : Set trace limit in nesting level.
-t TIME, --time-filter=TIME : Do not account functions which run under the time threshold. If some functions explicitly have the 'trace' trigger applied, those are always accounted regardless of execution time.
-Z SIZE, --size-filter=SIZE : Do not show functions smaller than SIZE bytes.
-L LOCATION, --loc-filter=LOCATION : Set filter to trace selected source locations. This option can be used more than once.
--no-libcall : Do not show library calls.
--no-event
: Do not show any events. Implies --no-sched.
--no-sched : Do not show schedule events.
--no-sched-preempt : Do not show preempt schedule events but show regular(sleeping) schedule events.
--match=TYPE
: Use pattern match using TYPE. Possible types are regex and glob.
Default is regex.
--with-syms=DIR : Read symbol data from the .sym files in DIR directory instead of the binary. This can be useful to deal with stripped binaries. The file name of the main binary should be the same when saved and used.
-H FUNC, --hide=FUNC
: Set filter not to trace selected functions.
It doesn't affect their subtrees, but hides only the given functions.
This option can be used more than once.
See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.
--kernel-full : Show all kernel functions, including those called outside of user functions.
--kernel-only : Show kernel functions only without user functions.
--event-full : Show all (user) events outside of user functions.
--tid=TID[,TID,...]
: Only print functions called by the given tasks. To see the list of
tasks in the data file, you can use uftrace report --task or
uftrace info. This option can also be used more than once.
--demangle=TYPE : Use demangled C++ symbol names for filters, triggers, arguments and/or return values. Possible values are "full", "simple" and "no". Default is "simple" which ignores function arguments and template parameters.
-r RANGE, --time-range=RANGE
: Only show functions executed within the time RANGE. The RANGE can be
<start><stop> (separated by "") and one of <start> and <stop> can
be omitted. The <start> and <stop> are timestamp or elapsed time if
they have <time_unit> postfix, for example '100us'. The timestamp or
elapsed time can be shown with -f time or -f elapsed option respectively
in uftrace replay(1).
This command shows information like the following:

To see a difference between two data:
$ uftrace record abc
$ uftrace report --diff uftrace.data.old
#
# uftrace diff
# [0] base: uftrace.data (from uftrace record abc )
# [1] diff: uftrace.data.old (from uftrace record abc )

-0.131 us -0.131 us +0 __cxa_atexit

The above example shows difference sorted by absolute value of total time. The following changes it to use (non-absolute) value of self time.
$ uftrace report --diff uftrace.data.old -s self --diff-policy no-abs

By using "full" policy, user can see raw data as well like below. Also it's possible to sort by different column (for raw data). The example below will sort output by total time of the base data.
$ uftrace report --diff uftrace.data.old --sort-column 0 --diff-policy full,percent

# uftrace diff

The uftrace allows user to customize the report output with a couple of fields. By default it uses total, self and call fields, but you can use other fields in any order like:
$ uftrace report -f total,total-max,self-min,call
Total time Total max Self min Calls Function

Each field can be used as sort key:

Each field has following meaning:
- total: total time of each function.
- total-avg: average of total time of each function.
- total-min: min of total time of each function.
- total-max: max of total time of each function.
- self: self time of each function.
- self-avg: average of self time of each function.
- self-min: min of self time of each function.
- self-max: max of self time of each function.
- call: called count of each function.
The default value is 'total,self,call'. If given field name starts with "+", then it'll be appended to the default fields. So "-f +total-avg" is as same as "-f total,self,call,total-avg". And it also accepts a special field name of 'none' which disables the field display and shows function output only.
- total: total time of each task.
- self: self time of each task.
- func: number of functions in the task.
- tid: task ID.
The default value is 'total,self,func,tid'. See FIELDS for field usage.
