perf report: Use hierarchy hpp list on stdio

2016-03-08T09:11:20+00:00

Now hpp formats are linked using perf_hpp_list_node when hierarchy is enabled. Use this info to print entries with multiple sort keys in a single hierarchy properly. For example, the below example shows using 4 sort keys with 2 levels. $ perf report --hierarchy -s '{prev_pid,prev_comm},{next_pid,next_comm}' \ --percent-limit 1 -i perf.data.sched ... # Overhead prev_pid+prev_comm / next_pid+next_comm # ........... ....................................... # 22.36% 0 swapper/0 9.48% 17773 transmission-gt 5.25% 109 kworker/0:1H 1.53% 6524 Xephyr 21.39% 17773 transmission-gt 9.52% 0 swapper/0 9.04% 0 swapper/2 1.78% 0 swapper/3 Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1457361308-514-6-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf hists: Fix indent for multiple hierarchy sort key

2016-03-08T09:11:20+00:00

When multiple sort keys are used in a single hierarchy, it should indent using number of hierarchy levels instead of number of sort keys.

perf hists: Use own hpp_list for hierarchy mode

2016-03-08T09:11:19+00:00

Now each hists has its own hpp lists in hierarchy. So instead of having a pointer to a single perf_hpp_fmt in a hist entry, make it point the hpp_list for its level. This will be used to support multiple sort keys in a single hierarchy level.

perf report: Left align dynamic entries in hierarchy

2016-02-26T21:37:06+00:00

The dynamic entries are right-aligned unlike other entries since it usually has numeric value. But for the hierarchy mode, left alignment is more appropriate IMHO. Also trim spaces on the left so that we can easily identify the hierarchy. Before: $ perf report --hierarchy -i perf.data.kmem -s gfp_flags,ptr,bytes_req --stdio -g none ... # # Overhead gfp_flags / ptr / bytes_req # .............. ................................................................................................. # 91.67% GFP_ATOMIC|GFP_NOWARN|GFP_NOMEMALLOC 37.50% 0xffff8803f7669400 37.50% 448 8.33% 0xffff8803f766be00 8.33% 96 4.17% 0xffff8800d156dc00 4.17% 704 After: # Overhead gfp_flags / ptr / bytes_req # .............. .................................... # 91.67% GFP_ATOMIC|GFP_NOWARN|GFP_NOMEMALLOC 37.50% 0xffff8803f7669400 37.50% 448 8.33% 0xffff8803f766be00 8.33% 96 4.17% 0xffff8800d156dc00 4.17% 704 Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1456512767-1164-3-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf report: Fix indentation of dynamic entries in hierarchy

2016-02-26T21:36:11+00:00

When dynamic entries are used in the hierarchy mode with multiple events, the output might not be aligned properly. In the hierarchy mode, the each sort column is indented using total number of sort keys. So it keeps track of number of sort keys when adding them. However a dynamic sort key can be added more than once when multiple events have same field names. This results in unnecessarily long indentation in the output. For example perf kmem records following events: $ perf evlist --trace-fields -i perf.data.kmem kmem:kmalloc: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags kmem:kmalloc_node: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags,node kmem:kfree: trace_fields: call_site,ptr kmem:kmem_cache_alloc: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags kmem:kmem_cache_alloc_node: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags,node kmem:kmem_cache_free: trace_fields: call_site,ptr kmem:mm_page_alloc: trace_fields: page,order,gfp_flags,migratetype kmem:mm_page_free: trace_fields: page,order As you can see, many field names shared between kmem events. So adding 'ptr' dynamic sort key alone will set nr_sort_keys to 6. And this adds many unnecessary spaces between columns. Before: $ perf report -i perf.data.kmem --hierarchy -s ptr -g none --stdio ... # Overhead ptr # ....................... ................................... # 99.89% 0xffff8803ffb79720 0.06% 0xffff8803d228a000 0.03% 0xffff8803f7678f00 0.00% 0xffff880401dc5280 0.00% 0xffff880406172380 0.00% 0xffff8803ffac3a00 0.00% 0xffff8803ffac1600 After: # Overhead ptr # ........ .................... # 99.89% 0xffff8803ffb79720 0.06% 0xffff8803d228a000 0.03% 0xffff8803f7678f00 0.00% 0xffff880401dc5280 0.00% 0xffff880406172380 0.00% 0xffff8803ffac3a00 0.00% 0xffff8803ffac1600 Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1456512767-1164-2-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf report: Show message for percent limit on stdio

2016-02-26T14:20:36+00:00

When the hierarchy mode is used, some entries might be omiited due to a percent limit or filter. In this case the output hierarchy is different than other entries. Add an informative message to users about this. For example, when 4% of percent limit is applied: Before: # Overhead Command / Shared Object / Symbol # .............. .......................................... # 49.09% swapper 48.67% [kernel.vmlinux] 34.42% [k] intel_idle 11.51% firefox 8.87% libpthread-2.22.so 6.60% [.] __GI___libc_recvmsg 10.49% gnome-shell 4.74% libc-2.22.so 10.08% Xorg 6.11% libc-2.22.so 5.27% [.] __memcpy_sse2_unaligned 6.15% perf Note that, gnome-shell/libc has no symbols and perf has no dso/symbols. With that patch the output will look like below: After: # Overhead Command / Shared Object / Symbol # .............. .......................................... # 49.09% swapper 48.67% [kernel.vmlinux] 34.42% [k] intel_idle 11.51% firefox 8.87% libpthread-2.22.so 6.60% [.] __GI___libc_recvmsg 10.49% gnome-shell 4.74% libc-2.22.so no entry >= 4.00% 10.08% Xorg 6.11% libc-2.22.so 5.27% [.] __memcpy_sse2_unaligned 6.15% perf no entry >= 4.00% Suggested-and-Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1456488800-28124-2-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

The hierarchy output mode is to group entries for each level so that user can see higher level picture more easily. It also helps to find out which component is most costly.

perf hists: Do column alignment on the format iterator

2016-02-12T15:52:25+00:00

We were doing column alignment in the format function for each cell, returning a string padded with spaces so that when the next column is printed the cursor is at its column alignment. This ends up needlessly printing trailing spaces, do it at the format iterator, that is where we know if it is needed, i.e. if there is more columns to be printed. This eliminates the need for triming lines when doing a dump using 'P' in the TUI browser and also produces far saner results with things like piping 'perf report' to 'less'. Right now only the formatters for sym->name and the 'locked' column (perf mem report), that are the ones that end up at the end of lines in the default 'perf report', 'perf top' and 'perf mem report' tools, the others will be done in a subsequent patch. In the end the 'width' parameter for the formatters now mean, in 'printf' terms, the 'precision', where before it was the field 'width'.
