Subject: [PATCH v2 15/15] perf ilist: Add new python ilist command
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2025 09:02:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250611160206.552030-16-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250611160206.552030-1-irogers@google.com>
The perf ilist command is a textual app [1] similar to perf list. In
the top-left pane a tree of PMUs is displayed. Selecting a PMU expands
the events within it. Selecting an event displays the `perf list`
style event information in the top-right pane.
When an event is selected it is opened and the counters on each CPU
the event is for are periodically read. The bottom of the screen
contains a scrollable set of sparklines showing the events in total
and on each CPU. Scrolling below the sparklines shows the same data as
raw counts. The sparklines are small graphs where the height of the
bar is in relation to maximum of the other counts in the graph.
By default the counts are read with an interval of 0.1 seconds (10
times per second). A -I/--interval command line option allows the
interval to be changed. The oldest read counts are dropped when the
counts fill the line causing the sparkline to move from right to left.
