perf build: Include libtraceevent headers directly indicated by pkg-config

2024-11-09T06:42:57+00:00

Currently the libtraceevent's found by pkg-config, which give the include path as: [root@localhost tmp]# pkg-config --cflags libtraceevent -I/usr/local/include/traceevent So we should include the libtraceevent headers directly without "traceevent/" prefix. Update all the users.

perf annotate-data: Add 'typecln' sort key

2024-08-21T14:48:43+00:00

Sometimes it's useful to organize member fields in cache-line boundary. The 'typecln' sort key is short for type-cacheline and to show samples in each cacheline. The cacheline size is fixed to 64 for now, but it can read the actual size once it saves the value from sysfs. For example, you maybe want to which cacheline in a target is hot or cold. The following shows members in the cfs_rq's first cache line. $ perf report -s type,typecln,typeoff -H ... - 2.67% struct cfs_rq + 1.23% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 2 + 0.57% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 4 + 0.46% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 6 - 0.41% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 0 0.39% struct cfs_rq +0x14 (h_nr_running) 0.02% struct cfs_rq +0x38 (tasks_timeline.rb_leftmost) ...

perf annotate-data: Show offset and size in hex

2024-08-21T14:48:39+00:00

It'd be better to have them in hex to check cacheline alignment. Percent offset size field 100.00 0 0x1c0 struct cfs_rq { 0.00 0 0x10 struct load_weight load { 0.00 0 0x8 long unsigned int weight; 0.00 0x8 0x4 u32 inv_weight; }; 0.00 0x10 0x4 unsigned int nr_running; 14.56 0x14 0x4 unsigned int h_nr_running; 0.00 0x18 0x4 unsigned int idle_nr_running; 0.00 0x1c 0x4 unsigned int idle_h_nr_running; ... Committer notes: Justification from Namhyung when asked about why it would be "better": Cache line sizes are power of 2 so it'd be natural to use hex and check whether an offset is in the same boundary. Also 'perf annotate' shows instruction offsets in hex. > > Maybe this should be selectable? I can add an option and/or a config if you want.

perf tools: Add mode argument to sort_help()

2024-08-01T21:55:55+00:00

Some sort keys are meaningful only in a specific mode - like branch stack and memory (data-src). Add the mode to skip unnecessary ones. This will be used for 'perf mem report' later. While at it, change the prefix for the -F/--fields option to remove the duplicate part. Before: $ perf report -F Error: switch `F' requires a value Usage: perf report [] -F, --fields output field(s): overhead period sample overhead overhead_sys overhead_us overhead_guest_sys overhead_guest_us overhead_children sample period weight1 weight2 weight3 ins_lat retire_lat ...

perf report: Fix condition in sort__sym_cmp()

2024-06-25T18:06:20+00:00

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 dso: Add reference count checking and accessor functions

2024-05-06T18:28:49+00:00

Add reference count checking to struct dso, this can help with implementing correct reference counting discipline. To avoid RC_CHK_ACCESS everywhere, add accessor functions for the variables in struct dso. The majority of the change is mechanical in nature and not easy to split up.

perf report: Add weight[123] output fields

2024-04-17T15:21:39+00:00

Add weight1, weight2 and weight3 fields to -F/--fields and their aliases like 'ins_lat', 'p_stage_cyc' and 'retire_lat'. Note that they are in the sort keys too but the difference is that output fields will sum up the weight values and display the average. In the sort key, users can see the distribution of weight value and I think it's confusing we have local vs. global weight for the same weight. For example, I experiment with mem-loads events to get the weights. On my laptop, it seems only weight1 field is supported. $ perf mem record -- perf test -w noploop Let's look at the noploop function only. It has 7 samples. $ perf script -F event,ip,sym,weight | grep noploop # event weight ip sym cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 43 55b3c122bffc noploop cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 48 55b3c122bffc noploop cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 38 55b3c122bffc noploop <--- same weight cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 38 55b3c122bffc noploop <--- same weight cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 59 55b3c122bffc noploop cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 33 55b3c122bffc noploop cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 38 55b3c122bffc noploop <--- same weight When you use the 'weight' sort key, it'd show entries with a separate weight value separately. Also note that the first entry has 3 samples with weight value 38, so they are displayed together and the weight value is the sum of 3 samples (114 = 38 * 3). $ perf report -n -s +weight | grep -e Weight -e noploop # Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol Weight 0.53% 3 perf perf [.] noploop 114 0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 59 0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 48 0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 43 0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 33 If you use 'local_weight' sort key, you can see the actual weight. $ perf report -n -s +local_weight | grep -e Weight -e noploop # Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol Local Weight 0.53% 3 perf perf [.] noploop 38 0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 59 0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 48 0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 43 0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 33 But when you use the -F/--field option instead, you can see the average weight for the while noploop function (as it won't group samples by weight value and use the default 'comm,dso,sym' sort keys). $ perf report -n -F +weight | grep -e Weight -e noploop Warning: --fields weight shows the average value unlike in the --sort key. # Overhead Samples Weight1 Command Shared Object Symbol 1.23% 7 42.4 perf perf [.] noploop The weight1 field shows the average value: (38 * 3 + 59 + 48 + 43 + 33) / 7 = 42.4 Also it'd show the warning that 'weight' field has the average value. Using 'weight1' can remove the warning.
