Subject: [PATCH] perf script: add flamegraph.py script
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2020 16:13:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200320151355.66302-1-agerstmayr@redhat.com> (raw)

This script works in tandem with d3-flame-graph to generate flame graphs
from perf. It supports two output formats: JSON and HTML (the default).
The HTML format will look for a standalone d3-flame-graph template file in
/usr/share/d3-flame-graph/d3-flamegraph-base.html and fill in the collected
stacks.

Usage:

    perf record -a -g -F 99 sleep 60
    perf script report flamegraph

Combined:

    perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 60

Package for d3-flame-graph is currently under review, in the meantime you can 
download the template from:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3-flame-graph@3.0.2/dist/templates/d3-flamegraph-base.html
and move it to /usr/share/d3-flame-graph/d3-flamegraph-base.html
