-s::
--sort=::
Sort by key(s): pid, comm, dso, symbol, parent, srcline.
Sort histogram entries by given key(s) - multiple keys can be specified
in CSV format. Following sort keys are available:
pid, comm, dso, symbol, parent, cpu, srcline.
Each key has following meaning:
- comm: command (name) of the task which can be read via /proc/<pid>/comm
- pid: command and tid of the task
- dso: name of library or module executed at the time of sample
- symbol: name of function executed at the time of sample
- parent: name of function matched to the parent regex filter. Unmatched
entries are displayed as "[other]".
- cpu: cpu number the task ran at the time of sample
- srcline: filename and line number executed at the time of sample. The
DWARF debuggin info must be provided.
By default, comm, dso and symbol keys are used.
(i.e. --sort comm,dso,symbol)
If --branch-stack option is used, following sort keys are also
available:
dso_from, dso_to, symbol_from, symbol_to, mispredict.
- dso_from: name of library or module branched from
- dso_to: name of library or module branched to
- symbol_from: name of function branched from
- symbol_to: name of function branched to
- mispredict: "N" for predicted branch, "Y" for mispredicted branch
And default sort keys are changed to comm, dso_from, symbol_from, dso_to
and symbol_to, see '--branch-stack'.
-p::
--parent=<regex>::
regex filter to identify parent, see: '--sort parent'
A regex filter to identify parent. The parent is a caller of this
function and searched through the callchain, thus it requires callchain
information recorded. The pattern is in the exteneded regex format and
defaults to "\^sys_|^do_page_fault", see '--sort parent'.

-t::
--field-separator=::
Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
all occurrences of this separator in symbol names (and other output)
with a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.
