# Heap profiling
|
|
|
|
Cloud Hypervisor supports generating a profile using
|
|
[dhat](https://docs.rs/dhat/latest/dhat/) of the heap allocations made during
|
|
the runtime of the process.
|
|
|
|
## Building a suitable binary
|
|
|
|
This adds the symbol information to the release binary but does not otherwise
|
|
affect the performance.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cargo build --profile profiling --features "dhat-heap"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Generating output
|
|
|
|
Cloud Hypervisor can then be run as usual. However it is necessary to run with `--seccomp false` as the profiling requires extra syscalls.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ target/profiling/cloud-hypervisor \
|
|
--kernel ~/src/linux/vmlinux \
|
|
--pmem file=~/workloads/focal.raw \
|
|
--cpus boot=1 --memory size=1G \
|
|
--cmdline "root=/dev/pmem0p1 console=ttyS0" \
|
|
--serial tty --console off \
|
|
--api-socket /tmp/api1 \
|
|
--seccomp false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the VMM exits a message like the following will be shown:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dhat: Total: 384,582 bytes in 3,512 blocks
|
|
dhat: At t-gmax: 133,885 bytes in 379 blocks
|
|
dhat: At t-end: 12,160 bytes in 20 blocks
|
|
dhat: The data has been saved to dhat-heap.json, and is viewable with dhat/dh_view.html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The JSON output can then be uploaded to [the dh_view tool](https://nnethercote.github.io/dh_view/dh_view.html) for analysis.
