使用FlameGraph生成火焰图

安装Perf

对于Linux内核版本高于2.6.31的系统，源码里有perf，root用户可以直接在这个路径编译安装，非root用户可以拷贝出来

cp /usr/src/linux-source-3.13.0 ~ -r
cd ~/linux-source-3.13.0/tools/perf
make && make install

如果报了-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=、-Werror=format-truncation=之类的告警，是因为有-Werror的编译选项。

vim ./config/Makefile
:1,$s/-Werror/-Wno-error/g

注意留意输出信息，如果缺少部分依赖，也能编译成功，但是生成的火焰图不可用，只有函数地址，没有函数名。下方的输出信息显示，缺少dwarf、gtk2、gtk2-infobar等功能。需要一一安装这些依赖。

使用Perf捕获运行程序

perf record -F 4000 -p 31471 -g --sleep 300 #跟踪31471进程，持续300秒，每秒4000次断点，并跟踪调用栈
perf script -i perf.data > out.unfolded

安装FlameGraph

git clone git@github.com:brendangregg/FlameGraph.git

使用FlameGraph生成火焰图

cd FlameGraph
./stackcollapse-perf.pl ~/perf/out.unfolded > ~/perf/out.folded
./flamegraph.pl ~/perf/out.folded > ~/perf/out.svg

用浏览器可以打开out.svg文件。
