2017-12-27perf probe: Support escaped character in parserMasami Hiramatsu
Support the special characters escaped by '\' in parser. This allows user to specify versions directly like below. ===== # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state\\@GLIBC_2.2.5 Added new event: probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2.2.5 in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_get_state -aR sleep 1 ===== Or, you can use separators in source filename, e.g. ===== # ./perf probe -x /opt/test/a.out foo+bar.c:3 Semantic error :There is non-digit character in offset. Error: Command Parse Error. ===== Usually "+" in source file cause parser error, but ===== # ./perf probe -x /opt/test/a.out foo\\+bar.c:4 Added new event: probe_a:main (on @foo+bar.c:4 in /opt/test/a.out) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_a:main -aR sleep 1 ===== escaped "\+" allows you to specify that.

2017-12-27perf probe: Add __return suffix for return eventsMasami Hiramatsu
Add __return suffix for function return events automatically. Without this, user have to give --force option and will see the number suffix for each event like "function_1", which is not easy to recognize. Instead, this adds __return suffix to it automatically.

2017-11-29perf script: Allow computing 'perf stat' style metricsAndi Kleen
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 ...

Handle stats in ->stats, not ->priv Minor cleanups Extra explanation about the use of the term 'averaging', from Andi in the thread in the Link: tag below: <quote Andi> The current samples contains the sum of event counts for a sampling period. EventA-1 EventA-2 EventA-3 EventA-4 EventB-1 EventB-2 EventC-3 gap with no events overflow |-----------------------------------------------------------------| period-start period-end ^ ^ | | previous sample current sample So EventA = 4 and EventB = 3 at the sample point I generate a metric, let's say EventA / EventB. 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. That's what I'm trying to express with averaging. </quote> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171117214300.32746-4-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2017-10-27perf script: Allow creating per-event dump filesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Introduce a new option to dump trace output to files named by the monitored events and update perf-script documentation accordingly. Shown below is output of perf script command with the newly introduced option. $ perf record -e cycles -e cs -ag -- sleep 1 $ perf script --per-event-dump $ ls perf.data.cycles.dump perf.data.cs.dump Without per-event-dump support, drawing flamegraphs for different events would require post processing to separate events. You can monitor only one event at a time if you want to get flamegraphs for different events. Using this option, you can get the trace output files named by the monitored events, and could draw flamegraphs according to the event's name.

2017-09-13perf stat: Support JSON metrics in perf statAndi Kleen
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 Kleen
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.

Implementing a new --smi-cost mode in perf stat to measure SMI cost. During the measurement, the /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi will be set. The measurement can be done with one counter (unhalted core cycles), and two free running MSR counters (IA32_APERF and SMI_COUNT). In practice, the percentages of SMI core cycles should be more useful than absolute value. So the output will be the percentage of SMI core cycles and SMI#. metric_only will be set by default. SMI cycles% = (aperf - unhalted core cycles) / aperf Here is an example output. Performance counter stats for 'sudo echo ': SMI cycles% SMI# 0.1% 1 0.010858678 seconds time elapsed Users who wants to get the actual value can apply additional --no-metric-only.
