perf report: Add srcline_from/to branch sort keys

2016-05-23T14:25:16+00:00

Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys that allow to show the source lines of a branch. That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to associate it with cycle counts: % perf record -b -e cycles:p ./tcall % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,mispredict ... 15.10% tcall.c:18 tcall.c:10 N 14.83% tcall.c:11 tcall.c:5 N 14.12% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 N 14.04% tcall.c:12 tcall.c:5 N 12.42% tcall.c:17 tcall.c:18 N 12.39% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:13 N 12.27% tcall.c:13 tcall.c:17 N ... % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,cycles ... 17.12% tcall.c:18 tcall.c:11 1 17.01% tcall.c:12 tcall.c:6 1 16.98% tcall.c:11 tcall.c:6 1 15.91% tcall.c:17 tcall.c:18 1 6.38% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 7 4.80% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 8 4.21% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 8 2.67% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 7 2.62% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 10 2.10% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 9 1.58% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 6 1.44% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 5 1.38% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 9 1.06% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 13 1.05% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 4 1.01% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 6 Open issues: - Some kernel symbols get misresolved.

perf hists: Move sort__need_collapse into struct perf_hpp_list

2016-05-06T00:03:58+00:00

Now we have sort dimensions private for struct hists, we need to make dimension booleans hists specific as well. Moving sort__need_collapse into struct perf_hpp_list. Adding hists__has macro to easily access this info perf struct hists object.

perf hists: Clear dummy entry accumulated period

2016-04-25T23:35:59+00:00

The accumulated period for dummy entry should also be 0. Otherwise, the total overhead could be overcounted. $ perf record -e '{LLC-load-misses,cpu/instructions/}' --call-graph=lbr ./tchain $ perf report --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 21K of event 'anon group { LLC-load-misses, cpu/instructions/ }' # Event count (approx.): 16313667937 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ................ ................ ........... ................ ............................ # 4769.98% 0.01% 0.00% 0.01% tchain_edit [kernel.vmlinux] [k] update_fast_timekeeper 4356.18% 0.01% 0.00% 0.01% tchain_edit [kernel.vmlinux] [k] trigger_load_balance 3181.12% 0.01% 0.00% 0.01% tchain_edit [kernel.vmlinux] [k] irq_work_tick 1592.37% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% tchain_edit [kernel.vmlinux] [k] cpu_needs_another_gp Signed-off-by: Kan Liang Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461565689-5862-1-git-send-email-kan.liang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf callchain: Start moving away from global per thread cursors

2016-04-14T17:48:07+00:00

The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance: # perf test -v python 16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems : --- start --- test child forked, pid 18030 Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: callchain_cursor test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED! # This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global callchain_cursor variables. Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global variable.

perf tools: Recalc total periods using top-level entries in hierarchy

2016-03-10T19:46:13+00:00

When hierarchy mode is enabled, each entry in a hierarchy level shares the period. IOW an upper level entry's period is the sum of lower level entries. Thus perf uses only one of them to calculate the total period of hists. It was lowest-level (leaf) entries but it has a problem when it comes to filters. If a filter is applied, entries in the same level will be filtered or not. But upper level entries still have period of their sum including filtered one. So total sum of upper level entries will not be same as sum of lower level entries. This resulted in entries having more than 100% of overhead and it can be produced using perf top with filter(s).

perf tools: Fix command line filters in hierarchy mode

2016-03-10T19:45:48+00:00

When a command-line filter is applied in hierarchy mode, output is broken especially when filtering on lower level. The higher level entries doesn't show up so it's hard to see the results. Also it needs to handle multi sort keys in a single hierarchy level. Before: $ perf report --hierarchy -s 'cpu,{dso,comm}' --comms swapper --stdio ... # Overhead CPU / Shared Object+Command # ........... ........................... # 13.79% [kernel.vmlinux] swapper 31.71% 000 13.80% [kernel.vmlinux] swapper 0.43% [e1000e] swapper 11.89% [kernel.vmlinux] swapper 9.18% [kernel.vmlinux] swapper After: # Overhead CPU / Shared Object+Command # ........... ............................... # 33.09% 003 13.79% [kernel.vmlinux] swapper 31.71% 000 13.80% [kernel.vmlinux] swapper 0.43% [e1000e] swapper 21.90% 002 11.89% [kernel.vmlinux] swapper 13.30% 001 9.18% [kernel.vmlinux] swapper Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Tested-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1457531222-18130-4-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

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 hists: Introduce perf_hpp__setup_hists_formats()

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

The perf_hpp__setup_hists_formats() is to build hists-specific output formats (and sort keys). Currently it's only used in order to build the output format in a hierarchy with same sort keys, but it could be used with different sort keys in non-hierarchy mode later.
