2014-09-26perf stat: Fix --per-core on multi socket systemsAndi Kleen1-4/+5
On systems with more than one socket perf stat --per-core would either segfault or stop before outputting all cores. The problem was that the output code referenced the id including the socket number in the higher bits, which is far beyond any per cpu array. Mask out the socket number before referencing cpus in abs_printout. I also renamed the variable in nsec_printout to be clear what it is, even though it doesn't reference cpus.

2014-04-14perf stat: Initialize statistics correctlyAndi Kleen1-2/+9
perf stat did initialize the stats structure used to compute stddev etc. incorrectly. It merely zeroes it. But one member (min) needs to be set to a non zero value. This causes min to be not computed at all. Call init_stats() correctly. It doesn't matter for stat currently because it doesn't use min, but it's still better to do it correctly. The other users of statistics are already correct.

2014-01-13perf evlist: Send the errno in the signal when workload failsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-6/+15
When a tool uses perf_evlist__start_workload and the supplied workload fails (e.g.: its binary wasn't found), perror was being used to print the error reason. This is undesirable, as the caller may be a GUI, when it wants to have total control of the error reporting process. So move to using sigaction(SA_SIGINFO) + siginfo_t->sa_value->sival_int to communicate to the caller the errno and let it print it using the UI of its choosing.

2013-11-27tools/perf/stat: Add event unit and scale supportStephane Eranian1-30/+84
This patch adds perf stat support for handling event units and scales as exported by the kernel. The kernel can export PMU events actual unit and scaling factor via sysfs: $ ls -1 /sys/devices/power/events/energy-* /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.scale /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.unit $ cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale 2.3283064365386962890625e-10 $ cat cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit Joules This patch modifies the pmu event alias code to check for the presence of the .unit and .scale files to load the corresponding values. They are then used by perf stat transparently: # perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000 # time counts unit events 1.000214717 3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/ [100.00%] 1.000214717 0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/ 1.000214717 12965028 cycles [100.00%] 2.000749289 3.01 Joules power/energy-pkg/ 2.000749289 0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/ 2.000749289 15817043 cycles When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by the kernel, nothing is printed. In csv output mode, there will be an empty field. Special thanks to Jiri for providing the supporting code in the parser to trigger reading of the scale and unit files.

2013-10-04tools/perf/stat: Add perf stat --transactionAndi Kleen1-1/+143
Add support to perf stat to print the basic transactional execution statistics: Total cycles, Cycles in Transaction, Cycles in aborted transsactions using the in_tx and in_tx_checkpoint qualifiers. Transaction Starts and Elision Starts, to compute the average transaction length. This is a reasonable overview over the success of the transactions. Also support architectures that have a transaction aborted cycles counter like POWER8. Since that is awkward to handle in the kernel abstract handle both cases here. Enable with a new --transaction / -T option. This requires measuring these events in a group, since they depend on each other. This is implemented by using TM sysfs events exported by the kernel Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1377128846-977-5-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2013-08-08perf stat: Flush output after each line in interval modeAndi Kleen1-0/+2
When interval mode is outputting to a pipe, each measurement should be flushed individually, so that the reader sees it timely.

2013-08-08perf stat: Add support for --initial-delay optionAndi Kleen1-1/+21
When measuring workloads the startup phase -- doing page faults, dynamic linking, opening files -- is often very different from the rest of the workload. Especially with smaller kernels and using counter multiplexing this can give significant measurement errors. Multiplexing assumes that the workload is mostly the same over longer periods. But at startup there is typically some spike of activity which is relatively short. If many groups are multiplexing the one group seeing the spike, and which is then scaled up over the time to run all groups, may see a significant error. Also in general it's often not useful to measure the startup, because it is so different from the rest. One way around this is to use interval mode and discard the first sample, but this can be awkward because interval mode doesn't support intervals of less than 100ms, and also a useful interval is not necessarily the same as a useful startup delay. This patch adds a new --initial-delay / -D option to skip measuring for the startup phase. The time can be specified in ms Here's a simple example: perf stat -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done' ... 3,721 page-faults ... If we just wait 20 ms the number of page faults is 1/3 less: perf stat -D 20 -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done' ... 2,823 page-faults ... So we filtered out most of the startup noise from bash.

2013-03-25perf stat: Add per-core aggregationStephane Eranian1-3/+28
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>

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>
