+.TH xfsdist 8 "2016-02-12" "USER COMMANDS"
+.SH NAME
+xfsdist \- Summarize XFS operation latency. Uses Linux eBPF/bcc.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B xfsdist [\-h] [\-T] [\-N] [\-d] [interval] [count]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This tool summarizes time (latency) spent in common XFS file operations: reads,
+writes, opens, and syncs, and presents it as a power-of-2 histogram. It uses an
+in-kernel eBPF map to store the histogram for efficiency.
+
+Since this works by tracing the xfs_file_operations interface functions, it
+will need updating to match any changes to these functions.
+
+Since this uses BPF, only the root user can use this tool.
+.SH REQUIREMENTS
+CONFIG_BPF and bcc.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\-h
+Print usage message.
+.TP
+\-T
+Don't include timestamps on interval output.
+.TP
+\-m
+Output in milliseconds.
+.TP
+\-p PID
+Trace this PID only.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+Trace XFS operation time, and print a summary on Ctrl-C:
+#
+.B xfsdist
+.TP
+Trace PID 181 only:
+#
+.B xfsdist -p 181
+.TP
+Print 1 second summaries, 10 times:
+#
+.B xfsdist 1 10
+.TP
+1 second summaries, printed in milliseconds
+#
+.B xfsdist \-m 1
+.SH FIELDS
+.TP
+msecs
+Range of milliseconds for this bucket.
+.TP
+usecs
+Range of microseconds for this bucket.
+.TP
+count
+Number of operations in this time range.
+.TP
+distribution
+ASCII representation of the distribution (the count column).
+.SH OVERHEAD
+This adds low-overhead instrumentation to these XFS operations,
+including reads and writes from the file system cache. Such reads and writes
+can be very frequent (depending on the workload; eg, 1M/sec), at which
+point the overhead of this tool may become noticeable.
+Measure and quantify before use.
+.SH SOURCE
+This is from bcc.
+.IP
+https://github.com/iovisor/bcc
+.PP
+Also look in the bcc distribution for a companion _examples.txt file containing
+example usage, output, and commentary for this tool.
+.SH OS
+Linux
+.SH STABILITY
+Unstable - in development.

+Demonstrations of xfsdist, the Linux eBPF/bcc version.

+xfsdist traces XFS reads, writes, opens, and fsyncs, and summarizes their
+latency as a power-of-2 histogram. For example:
+
+# ./xfsdist
+Tracing XFS operation latency... Hit Ctrl-C to end.

+
+This output shows a bi-modal distribution for read latency, with a faster
+mode of 20,686 reads that took between 8 and 15 microseconds, and a slower
+mode of over 10,000 reads that took between 64 and 1023 microseconds. It's
+likely that the faster mode was a hit from the in-memory file system cache,
+and the slower mode is a read from a storage device (disk).
+
+This "latency" is measured from when the operation was issued from the VFS
+interface to the file system, to when it completed. This spans everything:
+block device I/O (disk I/O), file system CPU cycles, file system locks, run
+queue latency, etc. This is a better measure of the latency suffered by
+applications reading from the file system than measuring this down at the
+block device interface.
+
+Note that this only traces the common file system operations previously
+listed: other file system operations (eg, inode operations including
+getattr()) are not traced.
+
+
+An optional interval and a count can be provided, as well as -m to show the
+distributions in milliseconds. For example:
+
+# ./xfsdist -m 1 5
+Tracing XFS operation latency... Hit Ctrl-C to end.
