While perf-lock currently reports both the total wait time and the number of contentions, it doesn't explicitly show the average wait time. Having this value immediately in the report can be quite useful when looking into performance issues. Furthermore, allowing report to sort by averages is another handy feature to have - and thus do not only print the value, but add it to the lock_stat structure.

2013-10-09tools/perf: Fix double/triple-build of the feature detection logic during ↵Ingo Molnar
'make install' et al Linus reported the following perf build system bug: 'Another annoyance during that make was that "make install" seems to want to re-make the thing I just built. That's absolutely horrible, [...]' The thing that got re-built were 'only' the (numerous) feature checks, not the whole project - but still it was mighty annoying as the feature checks took 9+ seconds even on reasonably fast boxes. Even with the autodep patches where feature detection is much faster it wastes resources, wastes screen real estate and confuses users if we execute feature detection twice. There were two sources for these unnecessary re-builds of the feature checks: - Unnecessary nested invocations of $(MAKE), apparently to be able to do conditional compilation dependent on documentation tools presence. Use straight dependencies instead, with no nesting. - A direct invocation of $(MAKE) to rebuild the PERF-VERSION-FILE. This is apparently done to be able to include it into the Makefile: -include $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE but that's entirely pointless for two reasons: 1) the version file gets regenerated by the initial build pass anyway, 2) including it is futile, given its contents: #define PERF_VERSION "3.12.rc3.g8510c7" 'make' will interpret that as a comment line... So just remove this part of the doc-generation logic. With these things fixed a 'make install' now rebuilds only what is needed. A repeated 'make install' on an already built tree is super fast now, it finishes in under 0.3 seconds: # # After the patch: # $ time make install ... real 0m0.280s user 0m0.162s sys 0m0.054s Prior all the autodep changes and prior this fix, a repeat 'make install' took 24.1 seconds (!) on the same system: # # Before the patches: # $ time make install ... real 0m24.109s user 0m21.171s sys 0m2.449s Which almost entirely was caused by fixable build system fat. We are now literally ~86 times faster. A fresh rebuild and install now takes just 11.4 seconds: # # After the patch: # $ make clean $ time make -j16 install ... real 0m11.457s user 1m43.411s sys 0m7.610s Without the patches it took 27.8 seconds: # # Before the patches: # $ make clean $ time make -j16 install ... real 0m27.801s user 1m59.242s sys 0m9.749s So even in the complete rebuild case we are now ~2.5 times faster.

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.

2013-08-07perf tools: Add support for pinned modifierMichael Ellerman
This commit adds support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU. The "p" modifier is already taken for precise, and "P" may be used in future to mean "fully precise". So we use "D", which stands for pinneD - and looks like a padlock, or if you're using the ":D" syntax perf smiles at you. This is an oft-requested feature from our HW folks, who want to be able to run a large number of events, but also want 100% accurate results for instructions per cycle. Comparison of results with and without pinning: $ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:D' -e cycles,instructions,... 79,590,480,683 cycles # 0.000 GHz 166,123,716,524 instructions # 2.09 insns per cycle # 0.11 stalled cycles per insn 79,352,134,463 cycles # 0.000 GHz [11.11%] 165,178,301,818 instructions # 2.08 insns per cycle # 0.11 stalled cycles per insn [11.13%] As you can see although perf does a very good job of scaling the values in the non-pinned case, there is some small discrepancy. The patch is fairly straight forward, the one detail is that we need to make sure we only request pinning for the group leader when we have a group.

2013-08-07perf stat: Add support for --initial-delay optionAndi Kleen
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.

2013-08-07perf tools: Add 'S' event/group modifier to read sample valueJiri Olsa
Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period value offered by lower layers. There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on event group: Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled. And same as for single events, values of all events within the group (including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format. Example: $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls ... $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio ... # Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }' # Event count (approx.): 12585593 # # Overhead Period Command Shared Object Symbol # .............. .............. ....... ................. .......................... # 19.92% 1.20% 2505936 31 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mark_held_locks 13.74% 0.47% 1729327 12 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_local 13.64% 23.72% 1716147 612 ls ld-2.14.90.so [.] check_match.10805 13.12% 23.22% 1650778 599 ls libc-2.14.90.so [.] _nl_intern_locale_data 11.24% 29.19% 1414554 753 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 8.50% 0.35% 1070150 9 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] check_chain_key ...

2013-07-22perf tools: Support callchain sorting based on addressesAndi Kleen
With programs with very large functions it can be useful to distinguish the callgraph nodes on more than just function names. So for example if you have multiple calls to the same function, it ends up being separate nodes in the chain. This patch adds a new key field to the callgraph options, that allows comparing nodes on functions (as today, default) and addresses. Longer term it would be nice to also handle src lines, but that would need more changes and address is a reasonable proxy for it today. I right now reference the global params, as there was no simple way to register a params pointer.

2013-07-12perf report/top: Add option to collapse undesired parts of call graphGreg Price
For example, in an application with an expensive function implemented with deeply nested recursive calls, the default call-graph presentation is dominated by the different callchains within that function. By ignoring these callees, we can collect the callchains leading into the function and compactly identify what to blame for expensive calls. For example, in this report the callers of garbage_collect() are scattered across the tree: $ perf report -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z] 22.03% ruby [.] gc_mark --- gc_mark |--59.40%-- mark_keyvalue | st_foreach | gc_mark_children | |--99.75%-- rb_gc_mark | | rb_vm_mark | | gc_mark_children | | gc_marks | | |--99.00%-- garbage_collect If we ignore the callees of garbage_collect(), its callers are coalesced: $ perf report --ignore-callees garbage_collect -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z] 72.92% ruby [.] garbage_collect --- garbage_collect vm_xmalloc |--47.08%-- ruby_xmalloc | st_insert2 | rb_hash_aset | |--98.45%-- features_index_add | | rb_provide_feature | | rb_require_safe | | vm_call_method Signed-off-by: Greg Price <price@mit.edu> Tested-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130623031720.GW22203@biohazard-cafe.mit.edu Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708115746.GO22203@biohazard-cafe.mit.edu Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> [ remove spaces at beginning of line, reported by Fengguang Wu ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2013-02-06perf stat: Add per processor socket count aggregationStephane Eranian
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. This is useful to gauge the amount of aggregation. # ./perf stat -I 1000 -a --aggr-socket -e cycles sleep 2 # time socket cpus counts events 1.000097680 S0 4 5,788,785 cycles 2.000379943 S0 4 27,361,546 cycles 2.001167808 S0 4 818,275 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/1360161962-9675-3-git-send-email-eranian@google.com [ committer note: Added missing man page entry based on above comments ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2013-01-31perf evlist: Add --group optionNamhyung Kim
Add '-g/--group' option for showing event groups. For simplicity it is currently not compatible with other options. $ perf evlist --group {ref-cycles,cycles} $ perf evlist ref-cycles cycles Suggested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1358845787-1350-20-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
