NAME

       opannotate - produce source or assembly annotated with profile data

SYNOPSIS

       opannotate [ options ] [profile specification]

DESCRIPTION

       opannotate  outputs  annotated  source  and/or  assembly  from profile data of an OProfile
       session. See oprofile(1) for how to write profile specifications.

OPTIONS

       --assembly / -a
              Output annotated assembly. The binary file to  be  annotated  does  not  need  full
              debugging  information  to  use  this  option,  but symbol information is required.
              Without symbol information, opannotate will silently refuse to annotate the binary.
              If  this option is combined with --source, then mixed source / assembly annotations
              are output.

       --demangle / -D none|smart|normal
              none: no demangling. normal: use default demangler (default)  smart:  use  pattern-
              matching to make C++ symbol demangling more readable.

       --exclude-dependent / -x
              Do  not  include  application-specific images for libraries, kernel modules and the
              kernel. This option only makes sense if the profile session used --separate.

       --exclude-file [files]
              Exclude all files in the given comma-separated list of glob patterns.  This  option
              is  supported  solely with the --source option. It can be used to filter out source
              files in the output using the following types of specifications:

              • filenames (basename -- i.e., no path)

              • filename glob specifications (all files whose base  filename  matches  the  given
                pattern)

              • directory  segments  (all  source  files located in the specified directory; e.g.
                "libio")

              • directory segment glob specifications (e.g., "libi*")

       --exclude-symbols / -e [symbols]
              Exclude all the symbols in the given comma-separated list.

       --help / -? / --usage
              Show help message.

       --image-path / -p [paths]
              Comma-separated list of additional paths to search for binaries.  This is needed to
              find modules in kernels 2.6 and upwards.

       --root / -R [path]
              A path to a filesystem to search for additional binaries.

       --include-file [files]
              Only  include  files  in the given comma-separated list of glob patterns.  The same
              rules apply for this option as for the --exclude-file option.

       --merge / -m [lib,cpu,tid,tgid,unitmask,all]
              Merge any profiles separated in a --separate session.

       --include-symbols / -i [symbols]
              Only include symbols in the given comma-separated list.

       --objdump-params [params]
              Pass the given parameters as extra values when calling objdump.  If more  than  one
              option  is  to  be  passed  to objdump, the parameters must be enclosed in a quoted
              string.

              An example of where  this  option  is  useful  is  when  your  toolchain  does  not
              automatically  recognize  instructions  that  are  specific to your processor.  For
              example, on IBM POWER7/RHEL 6, objdump must be told that a  binary  file  may  have
              POWER7-specific  instructions.  The  opannotate  option to show the POWER7-specific
              instructions is:
                 --objdump-params=-Mpower7

              The opannotate option to show the POWER7-specific  instructions,  the  source  code
              (--source) and the line numbers (-l) would be:
                 --objdump-params="-Mpower7 -l --source"

       --output-dir / -o [dir]
              Output  directory.  This makes opannotate output one annotated file for each source
              file. This option can't be used in conjunction with --assembly.

       --search-dirs / -d [paths]
              Comma-separated list of paths to search for source files. You may need to use  this
              option when the debug information for an image contains relative paths.

       --base-dirs / -b [paths]
              Comma-separated  list  of  paths to strip from debug source files, prior to looking
              for them in --search-dirs.

       --session-dir=dir_path
              Use sample database from the specified directory dir_path instead  of  the  default
              location.  If  --session-dir  is  not  specified,  then  opannotate will search for
              samples in <current_dir>/oprofile_data first. If that directory does not exist, the
              standard session-dir of /var/lib/oprofile is used.

       --source / -s
              Output  annotated  source.  This requires debugging information to be available for
              the binaries.

       --threshold / -t [percentage]
              For annotated assembly, only output data for symbols that have more than the  given
              percentage  of  total samples. For profiles using multiple events, if the threshold
              is reached for any event, then all sample data for the symbol is shown.

              For annotated source, only output data for source files that  have  more  than  the
              given  percentage  of  total  samples.  For  profiles using multiple events, if the
              threshold is reached for any event, then all sample data for  the  source  file  is
              shown.

       --verbose / -V [options]
              Give verbose debugging output.

       --version / -v
              Show version.

ENVIRONMENT

       No special environment variables are recognised by opannotate.

FILES

       <session_dir>/samples
              The location of the generated sample files.
