perf report: Fix condition in sort__sym_cmp()

2024-08-03T06:49:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit cb39d05e67dc24985ff9f5150e71040fa4d60ab8 ] It's expected that both hist entries are in the same hists when comparing two. But the current code in the function checks one without dso sort key and other with the key. This would make the condition true in any case. I guess the intention of the original commit was to add '!' for the right side too. But as it should be the same, let's just remove it.

perf map: Delete two variable initialisations before null pointer checks in sort__sym_from_cmp()

2023-05-17T09:53:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit c160118a90d4acf335993d8d59b02ae2147a524e ] Addresses of two data structure members were determined before corresponding null pointer checks in the implementation of the function “sort__sym_from_cmp”. Thus avoid the risk for undefined behaviour by removing extra initialisations for the local variables “from_l” and “from_r” (also because they were already reassigned with the same value behind this pointer check). This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

perf tools: Add 'addr' sort key

2022-10-04T11:55:22+00:00

Sometimes users want to see actual (virtual) address of sampled instructions. Add a new 'addr' sort key to display the raw addresses. $ perf record -o- true | perf report -i- -s addr # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ] # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 12 of event 'cycles:u' # Event count (approx.): 252512 # # Overhead Address # ........ .................. # 42.96% 0x7f96f08443d7 29.55% 0x7f96f0859b50 14.76% 0x7f96f0852e02 8.30% 0x7f96f0855028 4.43% 0xffffffff8de01087 Note that it just compares and displays the sample ip. Each process can have a different memory layout and the ip will be different even if they run the same binary. So this sort key is mostly meaningful for per-process profile data.

perf report: Add "addr_from" and "addr_to" sort dimensions

2022-02-16T14:21:22+00:00

With the existing symbol_from/symbol_to, branches captured in the same function would be collapsed into a single function if the latencies associated with the each branch (cycles) were all the same. That is the case on Intel Broadwell, for instance. Since Intel Skylake, the latency is captured by hardware and therefore is used to disambiguate branches. Add addr_from/addr_to sort dimensions to sort branches based on their addresses and not the function there are in. The output is still the function name but the offset within the function is provided to uniquely identify each branch. These new sort dimensions also help with annotate because they create different entries in the histogram which, in turn, generates proper branch annotations. Here is an example using AMD's branch sampling: $ perf record -a -b -c 1000037 -e cpu/branch-brs/ test_prg $ perf report Samples: 6M of event 'cpu/branch-brs/', Event count (approx.): 6901276 Overhead Command Source Shared Object Source Symbol Target Symbol Basic Block Cycle 99.65% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread [.] test_thread - 0.02% test_prg [kernel.vmlinux] [k] asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt [k] error_entry - $ perf report -F overhead,comm,dso,addr_from,addr_to Samples: 6M of event 'cpu/branch-brs/', Event count (approx.): 6901276 Overhead Command Shared Object Source Address Target Address 4.22% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x3c [.] test_thread+0x4 4.13% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x4 [.] test_thread+0x3a 4.09% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x3a [.] test_thread+0x6 4.08% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x2 [.] test_thread+0x3c 4.06% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x3e [.] test_thread+0x2 3.87% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x6 [.] test_thread+0x38 3.84% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread [.] test_thread+0x3e 3.76% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x1e [.] test_thread 3.76% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x38 [.] test_thread+0x8 3.56% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x22 [.] test_thread+0x1e 3.54% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x8 [.] test_thread+0x36 3.47% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x1c [.] test_thread+0x22 3.45% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x36 [.] test_thread+0xa 3.28% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x24 [.] test_thread+0x1c 3.25% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0xa [.] test_thread+0x34 3.24% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x1a [.] test_thread+0x24 3.20% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x34 [.] test_thread+0xc 3.04% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x26 [.] test_thread+0x1a 3.01% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0xc [.] test_thread+0x32 2.98% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x18 [.] test_thread+0x26 2.94% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x32 [.] test_thread+0xe 2.76% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x28 [.] test_thread+0x18 2.73% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0xe [.] test_thread+0x30 2.67% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x30 [.] test_thread+0x10 2.67% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x16 [.] test_thread+0x28 2.46% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x10 [.] test_thread+0x2e 2.44% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x2a [.] test_thread+0x16 2.38% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x14 [.] test_thread+0x2a 2.32% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x2e [.] test_thread+0x12 2.28% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x12 [.] test_thread+0x2c 2.16% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x2c [.] test_thread+0x14 0.02% test_prg [kernel.vmlinux] [k] asm_sysvec_apic_ti+0x5 [k] error_entry Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kim Phillips Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Song Liu Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220208211637.2221872-13-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf sort: Include global and local variants for p_stage_cyc sort key

2022-01-10T18:39:00+00:00

Sort key 'p_stage_cyc' is used to present the latency cycles spent in pipeline stages. perf has local 'p_stage_cyc' sort key to display this info. There is no global variant available for this sort key. The local variant shows latency in a single sample, whereas the global value will be useful to present the total latency (sum of latencies) in the hist entry. It represents the latency number multiplied by the number of samples. Add global ('p_stage_cyc') and local variant ('local_p_stage_cyc') for this sort key. Use 'local_p_stage_cyc' as default option for "mem" sort mode. Also add this to the list of dynamic sort keys and made the "dynamic_headers" and "arch_specific_sort_keys" as static.

Add new '__rel_loc' dynamic data location attribute support. This type attribute is similar to the '__data_loc' but records the offset from the field itself. The libtraceevent adds TEP_FIELD_IS_RELATIVE to the 'tep_format_field::flags' with TEP_FIELD_IS_DYNAMIC for'__rel_loc'.
