Name
bpftool-perf - tool for inspection of perf related bpf prog attachments
SYNOPSIS
bpftool [OPTIONS] perf COMMAND
OPTIONS := { { -j | --json } [{ -p | --pretty }] | { -d | --debug } }
COMMANDS := { show | list | help }
PERF COMMANDS
bpftool perf { show | list }
bpftool perf help
DESCRIPTION
bpftool perf { show | list }
List all raw_tracepoint, tracepoint, kprobe attachment in the system.
Output will start with process id and file descriptor in that process, followed by bpf program id, attachment
information, and attachment point. The attachment point for raw_tracepoint/tracepoint is the trace probe
name. The attachment point for k[ret]probe is either symbol name and offset, or a kernel virtual address. The
attachment point for u[ret]probe is the file name and the file offset.
bpftool perf help
Print short help message.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Print short help message (similar to bpftool help).
-V, --version
Print bpftool's version number (similar to bpftool version), the number of the libbpf version in use, and op‐
tional features that were included when bpftool was compiled. Optional features include linking against LLVM
or libbfd to provide the disassembler for JIT-ted programs (bpftool prog dump jited) and usage of BPF skele‐
tons (some features like bpftool prog profile or showing pids associated to BPF objects may rely on it).
-j, --json
Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this option has no effect.
-p, --pretty
Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies -j.
-d, --debug
Print all logs available, even debug-level information. This includes logs from libbpf as well as from the
verifier, when attempting to load programs.
