NAME
hatari_profile - Post-processor for Hatari profiler data
SYNOPSIS
hatari_profile.py [options] <datafiles>
DESCRIPTION
A Python script to post-process data produced by Hatari profiler "save" commands, both for CPU and DSP:
profile save <filename> dspprofile save <filename>
It can provide function level (CPU and DSP) processor usage information for anything Hatari profiler records: instruction counts, processor cycles and depending on processor, also instruction cache misses or cycle differences.
This information can be provided as ASCII list of heaviest functions, as callgraphs (if profile data includes caller information), or as callgrind format export which can be viewed in (Linux) Kcachegrind GUI.
OPTIONS
Invoking hatari_profile without arguments lists all of its options.
USAGE EXAMPLES
Regardless of whether profile data contains some symbol information, you should always give script all relevant debug symbols, otherwise costs might not get correctly assigned to symbols preceding those costs.
This post-processes profile data for EmuTOS (ROM), with symbol file having fixed/absolute addresses (-a), shows statistics (-s) and top lists (-t), but limits list output to anything taking over 2% (-l 2) and includes "propagated" subroutine call costs (-p):

This creates GraphViz callgraph files (-g) and Kcachegrind callgrind data file (-k) from Bad Mood (Doom BSP viewer) profile. Symbols for the program are TEXT section relative (-r), calls to some interrupt routines in the program are ignored as they aren't real calls, callgraph nodes using over 2% are highlighted, and there are some options to limit and simplify the graph:
