perf stat: Fallback to user only counters when perf_event_paranoid > 1

2016-05-12T19:25:18+00:00

After 0161028b7c8a ("perf/core: Change the default paranoia level to 2") 'perf stat' fails for users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so just use 'perf_evsel__fallback()' to have the same behaviour as 'perf record', i.e. set perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to 1.

perf stat: Add --metric-only support for -A

2016-03-10T19:50:47+00:00

Add metric only support for -A too.

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode

2016-03-10T19:49:40+00:00

Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line. One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns. Example: % perf stat -a -I 1000 --metric-only 1.001452803 frontend cycles idle insn per cycle stalled cycles per insn branch-misses of all branches 1.001452803 158.91% 0.66 2.39 2.92% 2.002192321 180.63% 0.76 2.08 2.96% 3.003088282 150.59% 0.62 2.57 2.84% 4.004369835 196.20% 0.98 1.62 3.79% 5.005227314 231.98% 0.84 1.90 4.71% v2: Lots of updates. v3: Use slightly narrower columns v4: Add comment Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1457049458-28956-6-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf stat: Check for frontend stalled for metrics

2016-03-03T14:10:40+00:00

perf stat: Support metrics in --per-core/socket mode

2016-03-03T14:10:36+00:00

Enable metrics printing in --per-core / --per-socket mode. We need to save the shadow metrics in a unique place. Always use the first CPU in the aggregation. Then use the same CPU to retrieve the shadow value later.

perf stat: Implement CSV metrics output

2016-03-03T14:10:36+00:00

Now support CSV output for metrics. With the new output callbacks this is relatively straight forward by creating new callbacks. This allows to easily plot metrics from CSV files. The new line callback needs to know the number of fields to skip them correctly Example output before: % perf stat -x, true 0.200687,,task-clock,200687,100.00 0,,context-switches,200687,100.00 0,,cpu-migrations,200687,100.00 40,,page-faults,200687,100.00 730871,,cycles,203601,100.00 551056,,stalled-cycles-frontend,203601,100.00 ,,stalled-cycles-backend,0,100.00 385523,,instructions,203601,100.00 78028,,branches,203601,100.00 3946,,branch-misses,203601,100.00 After: % perf stat -x, true .502457,,task-clock,502457,100.00,0.485,CPUs utilized 0,,context-switches,502457,100.00,0.000,K/sec 0,,cpu-migrations,502457,100.00,0.000,K/sec 45,,page-faults,502457,100.00,0.090,M/sec 644692,,cycles,509102,100.00,1.283,GHz 423470,,stalled-cycles-frontend,509102,100.00,65.69,frontend cycles idle ,,stalled-cycles-backend,0,100.00,,,, 492701,,instructions,509102,100.00,0.76,insn per cycle ,,,,,0.86,stalled cycles per insn 97767,,branches,509102,100.00,194.578,M/sec 4788,,branch-misses,509102,100.00,4.90,of all branches or easier readable $ perf stat -x, -o x.csv true $ column -s, -t x.csv 0.490635 task-clock 490635 100.00 0.489 CPUs utilized 0 context-switches 490635 100.00 0.000 K/sec 0 cpu-migrations 490635 100.00 0.000 K/sec 45 page-faults 490635 100.00 0.092 M/sec 629080 cycles 497698 100.00 1.282 GHz 409498 stalled-cycles-frontend 497698 100.00 65.09 frontend cycles idle stalled-cycles-backend 0 100.00 491424 instructions 497698 100.00 0.78 insn per cycle 0.83 stalled cycles per insn 97278 branches 497698 100.00 198.270 M/sec 4569 branch-misses 497698 100.00 4.70 of all branches Two new fields are added: metric value and metric name. v2: Split out function argument changes v3: Reenable metrics for real. v4: Fix wrong hunk from refactoring. v5: Remove extra "noise" printing (Jiri), but add it to the not counted case.

perf stat: Check existence of frontend/backed stalled cycles

2016-03-03T14:06:43+00:00

Only put the frontend/backend stalled cycles into the default perf stat events when the CPU actually supports them. This avoids empty columns with --metric-only on newer Intel CPUs.

perf stat: Bail out on unsupported event config modifiers

2016-02-19T22:12:49+00:00

'perf stat' accepts some config terms but doesn't apply them. For example: # perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash # ls # exit Performance counter stats for 'bash': 266258061 instructions/no-inherit/ 266258061 instructions/inherit/ 1.402183915 seconds time elapsed The result is confusing, because user may expect the first 'instructions' event exclude the 'ls' command. This patch forbid most of these config terms for 'perf stat'. Result: # ./perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash event syntax error: 'instructions/no-inherit/' \___ 'no-inherit' is not usable in 'perf stat' ... We can add blocked config terms back when 'perf stat' really supports them.
