PERF-MEM(1)                       perf Manual                      PERF-MEM(1)

NAME
       perf-mem - Profile memory accesses

SYNOPSIS
       perf mem [<options>] (record [<command>] | report)

DESCRIPTION
       "perf mem record" runs a command and gathers memory operation data from
       it, into perf.data. Perf record options are accepted and are passed
       through.

       "perf mem report" displays the result. It invokes perf report with the
       right set of options to display a memory access profile. By default,
       loads and stores are sampled. Use the -t option to limit to loads or
       stores.

       Note that on Intel systems the memory latency reported is the
       use-latency, not the pure load (or store latency). Use latency includes
       any pipeline queueing delays in addition to the memory subsystem
       latency.

OPTIONS
       <command>...
           Any command you can specify in a shell.

       -i, --input=<file>
           Input file name.

       -f, --force
           Don’t do ownership validation

       -t, --type=<type>
           Select the memory operation type: load or store (default:
           load,store)

       -D, --dump-raw-samples
           Dump the raw decoded samples on the screen in a format that is easy
           to parse with one sample per line.

       -x, --field-separator=<separator>
           Specify the field separator used when dump raw samples (-D option).
           By default, The separator is the space character.

       -C, --cpu=<cpu>
           Monitor only on the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can be
           provided as a comma-separated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of
           CPUs are specified with -: 0-2. Default is to monitor all CPUS.

       -U, --hide-unresolved
           Only display entries resolved to a symbol.

       -p, --phys-data
           Record/Report sample physical addresses

       --data-page-size
           Record/Report sample data address page size

RECORD OPTIONS
       -e, --event <event>
           Event selector. Use perf mem record -e list to list available
           events.

       -K, --all-kernel
           Configure all used events to run in kernel space.

       -U, --all-user
           Configure all used events to run in user space.

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

       --ldlat <n>
           Specify desired latency for loads event. (x86 only)

       In addition, for report all perf report options are valid, and for
       record all perf record options.
