2018-02-16perf stat: Add support to print counts after a period of timeyuzhoujian1-0/+5
Introduce a new option to print counts after N milliseconds and update 'perf stat' documentation accordingly. Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat. $ perf stat --time 2000 -e cycles -a Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 157,260,423 cycles 2.003060766 seconds time elapsed We can print the count deltas after N milliseconds with this new introduced option. This option is not supported with "-I" option. In addition, according to Kangliang's patch(19afd10410957), the monitoring overhead for system-wide core event could be very high if the interval-print parameter was below 100ms, and the limitation value is 10ms. So the same warning will be displayed when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms, and the minimal time is limited to 10ms. Users can make a decision according to their spcific cases. Committer notes: This actually stops the workload after the specified time, then prints the counts. So I renamed the option to --timeout and updated the documentation to state that it will not just print the counts after the specified time, but will really stop the 'perf stat' session and print the counts. The rename from 'time' to 'timeout' also fixes the build in systems where 'time' is used by glibc and can't be used as a name of a variable, such as centos:5 and centos:6. Changes since v3: - none. Changes since v2: - modify the time check in __run_perf_stat func to keep some consistency with the workload case. - add the warning when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms. - add the pr_err when the time is set below 10ms. Changes since v1: - none.

2018-02-16perf stat: Add support to print counts for fixed timesyuzhoujian1-0/+5
Introduce a new option to print counts for fixed number of times and update 'perf stat' documentation accordingly. Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat. $ perf stat -I 1000 --interval-count 2 -e cycles -a # time counts unit events 1.002827089 93,884,870 cycles 2.004231506 56,573,446 cycles We can just print the counts for several times with this newly introduced option.

Changes since v2: - none. Changes since v1: - change the name of the new option "times-print" to "interval-count". - keep the new option interval specifically.

perf script has a --time option to limit the time range of output. It only supports absolute time. Now this option is extended to support multiple time ranges and support the percent of time. For example: 1. Select the first and second 10% time slices: perf script --time 10%/1,10%/2 2. Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices: perf script --time 0%-10%,30%-40% Changelog: v6: Fix the merge issue with latest perf/core branch. No functional changes. v5: Add checking of first/last sample time to detect if it's recorded in perf.data. If it's not recorded, returns error message to user. v4: Remove perf_time__skip_sample, only uses perf_time__ranges_skip_sample v3: Since the definitions of first_sample_time/last_sample_time are moved from perf_session to perf_evlist so change the related code.

perf report has a --time option to limit the time range of output. It only supports absolute time. Now this option is extended to support multiple time ranges and support the percent of time. For example: 1. Select the first and second 10% time slices: perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 2. Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices: perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% Changelog: v6: Fix the merge issue with latest perf/core branch. No functional changes. v5: Add checking of first/last sample time to detect if it's recorded in perf.data. If it's not recorded, returns error message to user. v4: Remove perf_time__skip_sample, only uses perf_time__ranges_skip_sample v3: Since the definitions of first_sample_time/last_sample_time are moved from perf_session to perf_evlist so change the related code.

2018-01-08perf record: Record the first and last sample time in the headerJin Yao1-0/+3
In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed, to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the function write_sample_time(). Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time from perf file header. Committer testing: # perf record -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.099 MB perf.data (1101 samples) ] [root@jouet home]# perf report --header | grep "time of " # time of first sample : 22947.909226 # time of last sample : 22948.910704 # # perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE\( 0 22947909226101 0x20bb68 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 0/0: 0xffffffffa21b1af3 period: 1 addr: 0 0 22947909229928 0x20bb98 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 0/0: 0xffffffffa200d204 period: 1 addr: 0 <SNIP> 3 22948910397351 0x219360 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 28251/28251: 0xffffffffa22071d8 period: 169518 addr: 0 0 22948910652380 0x20f120 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 0/0: 0xffffffffa2856816 period: 198807 addr: 0 2 22948910704034 0x2172d0 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 0/0: 0xffffffffa2856816 period: 88111 addr: 0 # Changelog: v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion. v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled. While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option "--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the timestamp boundary calculation. v5: There is an issue that the sample walking can only work when '--buildid-all' is not enabled. So we need to let the walking be able to work even if '--buildid-all' is enabled and let the processing skips the dso hit marking for this case. At first, I want to provide a new option "--record-time-boundaries". While after consideration, I think a new option is not very necessary. v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time and last_sample_time from struct record and directly save them in perf_evlist.

2018-01-08perf header: Add infrastructure to record first and last sample timeJin Yao1-0/+4
perf report/script/... have a --time option to limit the time range of output. That's very useful to slice large traces, e.g. when processing the output of perf script for some analysis. But right now --time only supports absolute time. Also there is no fast way to get the start/end times of a given trace except for looking at it. This makes it hard to e.g. only decode the first half of the trace, which is useful for parallelization of scripts Another problem is that perf records are variable size and there is no synchronization mechanism. So the only way to find the last sample reliably would be to walk all samples. But we want to avoid that in perf report/... because it is already quite expensive. That is why storing the first sample time and last sample time in perf record is better. This patch creates a new header feature type HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME and related ops. Save the first sample time and the last sample time to the feature section in perf file header. That will be done when, for instance, processing build-ids, where we already have to process all samples to create the build-id table, take advantage of that to further amortize that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make 'perf report/script' faster when using --time. Committer testing: After this patch is applied the header is written with zeroes, we need the next patch, for "perf record" to actually write the timestamps: # perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE\( 22501155244406 0x44f0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21be8c5 period: 1 addr: 0 <SNIP> 22501155793625 0x4a30 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21ffd50 period: 2828043 addr: 0 # perf report --header | grep "time of " # time of first sample : 0.000000 # time of last sample : 0.000000 # Changelog: v7: 1. Rebase to latest perf/core branch. 2. Add following clarification in patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion. "That will be done when, for instance, processing build-ids, where we already have to process all samples to create the build-id table, take advantage of that to further amortize that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make 'perf report/script' faster when using --time." v4: Use perf script time style for timestamp printing. Also add with the printing of sample duration. v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time/last_sample_time from perf_session.

2017-11-30perf script: Allow computing 'perf stat' style metricsAndi Kleen1-1/+9
Add support for computing 'perf stat' style metrics in 'perf script'. When using leader sampling we can get metrics for each sampling period by computing formulas over the values of the different group members. This allows things like fine grained IPC tracking through sampling, much more fine grained than with 'perf stat'. The metric is still averaged over the sampling period, it is not just for the sampling point. This patch adds a new metric output field for 'perf script' that uses the existing 'perf stat' metrics infrastructure to compute any metrics supported by 'perf stat'. For example to sample IPC: $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles,instructions}:S' -a sleep 1 $ perf script -F metric,ip,sym,time,cpu,comm ... alsa-sink-ALC32 [000] 42815.856074: 7fd65937d6cc [unknown] alsa-sink-ALC32 [000] 42815.856074: 7fd65937d6cc [unknown] alsa-sink-ALC32 [000] 42815.856074: 7fd65937d6cc [unknown] alsa-sink-ALC32 [000] 42815.856074: metric: 0.13 insn per cycle swapper [000] 42815.857961: ffffffff81655df0 __schedule swapper [000] 42815.857961: ffffffff81655df0 __schedule swapper [000] 42815.857961: ffffffff81655df0 __schedule swapper [000] 42815.857961: metric: 0.23 insn per cycle qemu-system-x86 [000] 42815.858130: ffffffff8165ad0e _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore qemu-system-x86 [000] 42815.858130: ffffffff8165ad0e _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore qemu-system-x86 [000] 42815.858130: ffffffff8165ad0e _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore qemu-system-x86 [000] 42815.858130: metric: 0.46 insn per cycle :4972 [000] 42815.858312: ffffffffa080e5f2 vmx_vcpu_run :4972 [000] 42815.858312: ffffffffa080e5f2 vmx_vcpu_run :4972 [000] 42815.858312: ffffffffa080e5f2 vmx_vcpu_run :4972 [000] 42815.858312: metric: 0.45 insn per cycle TopDown: This requires disabling SMT if you have it enabled, because SMT would require sampling per core, which is not supported. $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,topdown-fetch-bubbles,\ topdown-recovery-bubbles,\ topdown-slots-retired,topdown-total-slots,\ topdown-slots-issued}:S' -a sleep 1 $ perf script --header -I -F cpu,ip,sym,event,metric,period ...

It applies to the whole period. But the metric is over a longer time which does not have the same behavior. For example the gap above doesn't have any events, while they are clustered at the beginning and end of the sample period. But we're summing everything together. The metric doesn't know that the gap is different than the busy period.

2017-09-13perf list: Add metric groups to perf listAndi Kleen1-1/+6
Add code to perf list to print metric groups, and metrics that don't have an event name.

The metricgroups are printed by default, but can be limited by perf list metric or perf list metricgroup % perf list metricgroup ..

2017-09-13perf stat: Support JSON metrics in perf statAndi Kleen1-0/+7
Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a higher level result (e.g. IPC). Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't have an event name. We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a short cut to select several related metrics at once. Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or metric groups specified. Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist. When computing shadow values look for metrics in that list. Then they are computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request. % perf stat -M Summary --metric-only -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': Instructions CLKS CPU_Utilization GFLOPs SMT_2T_Utilization Kernel_Utilization 317614222.0 1392930775.0 0.0 0.0 0.2 0.1 1.001497549 seconds time elapsed % perf stat -M GFLOPs flops Performance counter stats for 'flops': 3,999,541,471 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar_single # 1.2 GFLOPs (66.65%) 14 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar_double (66.65%) 0 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_packed_double (66.67%) 0 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_packed_single (66.70%) 0 simd_fp_256.packed_double (66.70%) 0 simd_fp_256.packed_single (66.67%) 0 duration_time 3.238372845 seconds time elapsed v2: Add missing header file v3: Move find_map to pmu.c Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170831194036.30146-7-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2017-09-13perf tools: Support weak groups in 'perf stat'Andi Kleen1-0/+2
Setting up groups can be complicated due to the complicated scheduling restrictions of different PMUs. User tools usually don't understand all these restrictions. Still in many cases it is useful to set up groups and they work most of the time. However if the group is set up wrong some members will not report any value because they never get scheduled. Add a concept of a 'weak group': try to set up a group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group. That gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but still a usable fallback if they don't. In theory it would be possible to have more complex fallback strategies (e.g. try to split the group in half), but the simple fallback of not using a group seems to work for now. So far the weak group is only implemented for perf stat, not for record. Here's an unschedulable group (on IvyBridge with SMT on) % perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}' -a sleep 1 73,806,067 branches 4,848,144 branch-misses # 6.57% of all branches 14,754,458 l1d.replacement 24,905,558 l2_lines_in.all <not supported> l2_rqsts.all_code_rd <------- will never report anything With the weak group: % perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}:W' -a sleep 1 125,366,055 branches (80.02%) 9,208,402 branch-misses # 7.35% of all branches (80.01%) 24,560,249 l1d.replacement (80.00%) 43,174,971 l2_lines_in.all (80.05%) 31,891,457 l2_rqsts.all_code_rd (79.92%) The extra event scheduled with some extra multiplexing v2: Move fallback code to separate function.
