perf stat: Move metric list from config to evlist

2025-07-11T19:36:40+00:00

The rblist of metric_event that then have a list of associated metric_expr is moved out of the stat_config and into the evlist. This is done as part of refactoring things for python, having the state split in two places complicates that implementation. The evlist is doing the harder work of enabling and disabling events, the metrics are needed to compute a value and it doesn't seem unreasonable to hang them from the evlist.

perf lock contention: Add -G/--cgroup-filter option

perf tools: Add read_all_cgroups() and __cgroup_find()

2023-09-12T20:32:00+00:00

The read_all_cgroups() is to build a tree of cgroups in the system and users can look up a cgroup using __cgroup_find().

perf stat: Enable BPF counter with --for-each-cgroup

2021-07-05T17:16:57+00:00

Recently bperf was added to use BPF to count perf events for various purposes. This is an extension for the approach and targetting to cgroup usages. Unlike the other bperf, it doesn't share the events with other processes but it'd reduce unnecessary events (and the overhead of multiplexing) for each monitored cgroup within the perf session. When --for-each-cgroup is used with --bpf-counters, it will open cgroup-switches event per cpu internally and attach the new BPF program to read given perf_events and to aggregate the results for cgroups. It's only called when task is switched to a task in a different cgroup.

perf tools: Allow creation of cgroup without open

2020-09-28T12:18:06+00:00

This is a preparation for a test case of expanding events for multiple cgroups. Instead of using real system cgroup, the test will use fake cgroups so it needs a way to have them without a open file descriptor.

perf tools: Copy metric events properly when expand cgroups

2020-09-28T12:16:21+00:00

The metricgroup__copy_metric_events() is to handle metrics events when expanding event for cgroups. As the metric events keep pointers to evsel, it should be refreshed when events are cloned during the operation. The perf_stat__collect_metric_expr() is also called in case an event has a metric directly. During the copy, it references evsel by index as the evlist now has cloned evsels for the given cgroup. Also kernel test robot found an issue in the python module import so add empty implementations of those two functions to fix it.

perf stat: Add --for-each-cgroup option

2020-09-28T12:07:08+00:00

The --for-each-cgroup option is a syntax sugar to monitor large number of cgroups easily. Current command line requires to list all the events and cgroups even if users want to monitor same events for each cgroup. This patch addresses that usage by copying given events for each cgroup on user's behalf. For instance, if they want to monitor 6 events for 200 cgroups each they should write 1200 event names (with -e) AND 1200 cgroup names (with -G) on the command line. But with this change, they can just specify 6 events and 200 cgroups with a new option. A simpler example below: It wants to measure 3 events for 2 cgroups ('A' and 'B'). The result is that total 6 events are counted like below. $ perf stat -a -e cpu-clock,cycles,instructions --for-each-cgroup A,B sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 988.18 msec cpu-clock A # 0.987 CPUs utilized 3,153,761,702 cycles A # 3.200 GHz (100.00%) 8,067,769,847 instructions A # 2.57 insn per cycle (100.00%) 982.71 msec cpu-clock B # 0.982 CPUs utilized 3,136,093,298 cycles B # 3.182 GHz (99.99%) 8,109,619,327 instructions B # 2.58 insn per cycle (99.99%) 1.001228054 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200924124455.336326-3-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
