2013-04-01perf tools: Add new mem command for memory access profilingStephane Eranian1-0/+48
This new command is a wrapper on top of perf record and perf report to make it easier to configure for memory access profiling. To record loads: $ perf mem -t load rec ..... To record stores: $ perf mem -t store rec ..... To get the report: $ perf mem -t load rep Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359040242-8269-15-git-send-email-eranian@google.com [ Fixed minor conflict with 66857b5 "Sort command-list.txt alphabetically" ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2013-04-01perf tools: Add support for weight v7 (modified)Andi Kleen3-2/+8
perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling. Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event and the total cost over the measurement period. Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library. v2: Merge with new hist refactoring. v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check. Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight. v4: Readd sort keys to manpage v5: Move weight to end v6: Move weight to template v7: Rename weight key. Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4.

2013-03-25perf stat: Add per-core aggregationStephane Eranian1-0/+6
This patch adds the --per-core option to perf stat. This option is used to aggregate system-wide counts on a per physical core basis. On processors with hyperthreading, this means counts of all HT threads running on a physical core are aggregated. This mode is useful to find imblance between physical cores running an uniform workload. Cores are identified by socket: S0-C1, means physical core 1 on socket 0. Note that cores are identified using their physical core id, thus their numbering may not be continuous. Per core aggregation can be combined with interval printing: # perf stat -a --per-core -I 1000 -e cycles sleep 1000 # time core cpus counts events 1.000090030 S0-C0 1 4,765,747 cycles 1.000090030 S0-C1 1 5,580,647 cycles 1.000090030 S0-C2 1 221,181 cycles 1.000090030 S0-C3 1 266,092 cycles Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1360846649-6411-4-git-send-email-eranian@google.com [ committer note: Remove parts already applied on 86ee6e1 to keep bisectability ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2013-03-15perf stat: Introduce --repeat foreverFrederik Deweerdt1-1/+1
The following patch causes 'perf stat --repeat 0' to be interpreted as 'forever', displaying the stats for every run. We act as if a single run was asked, and reset the stats in each iteration.

This patch adds per-processor socket count aggregation for system-wide mode measurements. This is a useful mode to detect imbalance between sockets. To enable this mode, use --aggr-socket in addition to -a. (system-wide). The output includes the socket number and the number of online processors on that socket.

2013-01-30perf stat: Add interval printingStephane Eranian1-0/+4
This patch adds a new printing mode for perf stat. It allows interval printing. That means perf stat can now print event deltas at regular time interval. This is useful to detect phases in programs. The -I option enables interval printing. It expects an interval duration in milliseconds. Minimum is 100ms. Once, activated perf stat prints events deltas since last printout. All modes are supported. $ perf stat -I 1000 -e cycles noploop 10 noploop for 10 seconds # time counts events 1.000109853 2,388,560,546 cycles 2.000262846 2,393,332,358 cycles 3.000354131 2,393,176,537 cycles 4.000439503 2,393,203,790 cycles 5.000527075 2,393,167,675 cycles 6.000609052 2,393,203,670 cycles 7.000691082 2,393,175,678 cycles The output format makes it easy to feed into a plotting program such as gnuplot when the -I option is used in combination with the -x option: $ perf stat -x, -I 1000 -e cycles noploop 10 noploop for 10 seconds 1.000084113,2378775498,cycles 2.000245798,2391056897,cycles 3.000354445,2392089414,cycles 4.000459115,2390936603,cycles 5.000565341,2392108173,cycles Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1359460064-3060-3-git-send-email-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2012-12-12perf top: Use perf_evlist__config()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-1/+1
Using struct perf_record_opts to specify how to configure the evsel perf_event_attrs. This gets top closer to record in the way it sets up evsels, with the aim of sharing more and more to the point that both will be a single utility. In this direction top now uses the same callchain option parsing as record and that brings DWARF callchains to top, something that was already available for record.

2012-12-09perf buildid-cache: Add option to show build ids that are missing in the cacheArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+3
This will allow to connect with services being put in place by distros such as Fedora, where one can retrieve DSOs by their build-id.

2012-12-09perf diff: Remove displacement output optionJiri Olsa1-4/+0
It seems not very useful, because it's possible and event more convenient to lookup related symbol by name. Also the output value for both 'baseline' and 'new' data is quite apparent from diff output. And above all it complicates hist code factoring ;) Ditching out PERF_HPP__DISPL column with related output functions.

2012-10-26perf inject: Merge sched_stat_* and sched_switch eventsAndrew Vagin1-0/+5
You may want to know where and how long a task is sleeping. A callchain may be found in sched_switch and a time slice in stat_iowait, so I add handler in perf inject for merging this events. My code saves sched_switch event for each process and when it meets stat_iowait, it reports the sched_switch event, because this event contains a correct callchain. By another words it replaces all stat_iowait events on proper sched_switch events. I use the next sequence of commands for testing: perf record -e sched:sched_stat_sleep -e sched:sched_switch \ -e sched:sched_process_exit -g -o ~/perf.data.raw \ ~/test-program perf inject -v -s -i ~/perf.data.raw -o ~/perf.data perf report --stdio -i ~/perf.data 100.00% foo [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __schedule | --- __schedule schedule | |--79.75%-- schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock | schedule_hrtimeout_range | poll_schedule_timeout | do_select | core_sys_select | sys_select | system_call_fastpath | __select | __libc_start_main | --20.25%-- do_nanosleep hrtimer_nanosleep sys_nanosleep system_call_fastpath __GI___libc_nanosleep __libc_start_main And here is test-program.c: #include<unistd.h> #include<time.h> #include<sys/select.h> int main() { struct timespec ts1; struct timeval tv1; int i; long s; for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { ts1.tv_sec = 0; ts1.tv_nsec = 10000000; nanosleep(&ts1, NULL); tv1.tv_sec = 0; tv1.tv_usec = 40000; select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL,&tv1); } return 1; } Signed-off-by: Andrew Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1344344165-369636-4-git-send-email-avagin@openvz.org [ committer note: Made it use evsel->handler ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too! In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have a: -o filename Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report, etc). It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner: "Announcing a new utility: 'trace'" http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/ Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments of that LWN article.

2012-09-08perf diff: Make diff command work with evsel histsJiri Olsa1-0/+3
Putting 'perf diff' command back on track with the 'latest' evsel hists changes. Each evsel has its own 'hists' object gathering stats for the particular event. While currently counts are accumulated for the whole session regardless of the events diversification within compared sessions. The 'perf diff' command now outputs all matching events within compared sessions (with event name specified). The per event diff output stays the same. $ ./perf diff # Event 'cycles' # # Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol # ........ .......... ................. .............................. # 0.00% +15.14% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __wake_up 0.00% +13.38% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ext4fs_dirhash ...

2012-09-06perf tools: Allow user to indicate path to objdump in command lineMaciek Borzecki2-0/+6
When analyzing perf data from hosts of other architecture than one of the local host it's useful to call objdump that is part of a toolchain for that architecture. Instead of calling regular objdump, call one that user specified in command line.

2012-07-02perf bench: Fix confused variable namings and descriptions in mem subsystemHitoshi Mitake1-2/+2
As Namhyung Kim pointed, there are confused namings and descriptions of words "cycle" and "clock" in mem-memset.c and mem-memcpy.c. With the option "-c" (or "--clock", now renamed as "--cycle"), mem subsystem measures cost of memset() and memcpy() with cpu-cycles event. But current mem subsystem source code contains lots of confused variable namings and descriptions with "clock" (e.g. the variable use_clock). This is a very bad style because there is another software event named "cpu-clock". This patch replaces wrong usage of "clock" to "cycle". v2: modified Documentation/perf-bench.txt for the descriptions of --cycle option Signed-off-by: Hitoshi Mitake <h.mitake@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1341236777-18457-1-git-send-email-h.mitake@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
