如何使用谷歌perf工具

Moh*_*mad 9 profiling gperftools

我刚开始使用谷歌性能工具(google-perftools以及libgoogle-perftools4ubuntu中的软件包),我发誓我正在谷歌上搜索一天,我没有找到答案!问题是我没有通过CPU分析获得所有函数的结果.这是我的代码:

#include "gperftools/profiler.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
void bar()
{
        int a,b,c,d,j,k;
        a=0;
        int z=0;
        b = 1000;
        while(z < b)
        {
                while (a < b)
                {
                        d = sin(a);
                        c = cos(a);
                        j = tan(a);
                        k = tan(a);
                        k = d * c + j *k;
                        a++;
                }
                a = 0;
                z++;
        }
}
void foo()
{
        cout << "hey " << endl;
}

int main()
{
        ProfilerStart("/home/mohammad/gperf/dump.txt");

        int a = 1000;
        while(a--){foo();}
        bar();
        ProfilerFlush();
        ProfilerStop();
}

编译为 g++ test.cc -lprofiler -o a.out

这是我运行代码的方式:

CPUPROFILE=dump.txt ./a.out

我也试过这个:

这就是我得到的google-pprof --text a.out dump.txt:

但是没有关于foo功能的信息!

我的系统信息:ubuntu 12.04 g ++ 4.6.3

就这样!

osg*_*sgx 11

TL; DR:foo快速和小型地获取分析事件,再运行100次.频率设置是拼写错误,并且pprof不会比CONFIG_HZ(通常为250)更频繁地采样.最好切换到更现代的Linux perf分析器(来自其作者的教程,维基百科).

长版:

你的foo功能太短而简单 - 只需调用两个函数.使用程序g++ test.cc -lprofiler -o test.s -S -g过滤编译测试,使c ++名称可读:test.sc++filt

foo():

        ret

因此,要在配置文件中看到它,您应该运行foo更多次,将int a = 1000;main 更改为更大的内容,例如10000或更好的100000(就像我在测试中一样).

你也可以修正不正确的" CPUPROFILE_FREQUENC=10000"来纠正CPUPROFILE_FREQUENCY(注意Y).我应该说10000为CPUPROFILE_FREQUENCY的设置太高,因为它通常每秒只能生成1000或250个事件,具体取决于内核配置CONFIG_HZ(大多数3.x内核有250,检查grep CONFIG_HZ= /boot/config*).pprof中CPUPROFILE_FREQUENCY的默认设置为100.

我在Ubuntu 14.04上测试了不同的CPUPROFILE_FREQUENCY值:100000,10000,1000,250和bash脚本

for a in 100000 100000 10000 10000 1000 1000 300 300 250 250; do 
   echo -n "$a "; 
   CPUPROFILE_FREQUENCY=$a CPUPROFILE=dump$a.txt ./test >/dev/null;
done
Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)

结果是每个./test的120-140事件和运行时间大约0.5秒,因此来自google-perftools的cpuprofiler不能为单线程每秒执行更多事件,而不是内核中设置的CONFIG_HZ(我有250).

原始a = 1000 foo并且cout的函数运行得太快,无法在每次运行中获得任何分析事件(即使在250个事件/秒),因此您没有foo,也没有任何输入/输出函数.在少量的运行中,__write_nocancel可能会得到采样事件,然后foo 将报告libstdc ++的I/O函数(在某处不在顶部,因此使用或的--text选项),零自身事件计数和非零子事件计数:pprofgoogle-pprof

有了a=100000,foo仍然太短而且速度很快,无法获得自己的事件,但I/O函数有几个.这是我从长--text输出中得到的列表:

由于能够pprof读取调用链(它知道谁调用了获取样本的函数,如果没有省略帧信息),只能看到零自有计数器的函数.

我还可以推荐更现代,更强大的功能(软件和硬件事件,频率高达5 kHz或更高;用户空间和内核分析)和更好的支持分析器,Linux perf分析器(作者的教程,维基百科).

有结果从perfa=10000:

 ... note the 3 kHz frequency here VVVV
