2025-05-28perf mem: Show absolute percent in mem_stat outputNamhyung Kim
Currently the output sums up to 100% for each entry. But it can be confusing when it's displayed with 'overhead'.

2025-05-02perf mem: Add 'dtlb' output fieldNamhyung Kim
This is a breakdown of perf_mem_data_src.mem_dtlb values. It assumes PMU drivers would set PERF_MEM_TLB_HIT bit with an appropriate level. And having PERF_MEM_TLB_MISS means that it failed to find one in any levels of TLB. For now, it doesn't use PERF_MEM_TLB_{WK,OS} bits. Also it seems Intel machines don't distinguish L1 or L2 precisely.

This is a breakdown of perf_mem_data_src.mem_lvl_num. But it's also divided into two parts because the combination is bigger than 8. Since there are many entries for different cache levels, 'cache' field focuses on them. I generalized buffers like LFB, MAB and MHB to L1-buf and L2-buf.

2025-05-02perf mem: Add 'op' output fieldNamhyung Kim
This is an actual example of the he_mem_stat based sample breakdown. It uses 'mem_op' field of union perf_mem_data_src which means memory operations. It'd have basically 'load' or 'store' which can be useful if PMU doesn't have separate events for them like IBS or SPE. In addition, there's an entry in case load and store happen at the same time. Also adds entries for prefetching and execution. $ perf mem report -F +op -s comm --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 4K of event 'ibs_op//' # Total weight : 9559 # Sort order : comm # # --------------------- Mem Op ---------------------- # Overhead Samples Load Store Ld+St Pfetch Exec Other N/A N/A Command # ........ ....... ................................................... ............... # 44.85% 4077 21.1% 30.7% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 48.3% 0.0% 0.0% swapper 26.82% 45 98.8% 0.3% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.9% 0.0% 0.0% netsli-prober 7.19% 442 51.7% 13.7% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 34.6% 0.0% 0.0% perf 5.81% 75 89.7% 2.2% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 8.1% 0.0% 0.0% qemu-system-ppc 4.77% 1 100.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% notifications_c 1.77% 10 95.9% 1.2% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 3.0% 0.0% 0.0% MemoryReleaser 0.77% 32 71.6% 4.1% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 24.3% 0.0% 0.0% DefaultEventMan 0.19% 10 66.7% 22.2% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 11.1% 0.0% 0.0% gnome-shell Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Leo Yan <leo.yan@arm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@amd.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250430205548.789750-8-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2025-05-02perf hist: Implement output fields for mem statsNamhyung Kim
This is a preparation for later changes to support mem_stat output. The new fields will need two lines for the header - the first line will show type of mem stat and the second line will show the name of each item which is returned by mem_stat_name(). Each element in the mem_stat array will be printed in percentage for the hist_entry and their sum would be 100%. Add new output field dimension only for SORT_MODE__MEM using mem_stat. To handle possible name conflict with existing sort keys, move the order of checking output field dimensions after the sort dimensions when it looks for sort keys.

Add a logic to account he->mem_stat based on mem_stat_type in hists. Each mem_stat entry will have different meaning based on the type so the index in the array is calculated at runtime using the corresponding value in the sample.data_src. Still hists has no mem_stat_types yet so this code won't work for now. Later hists->mem_stat_types will be allocated based on what users want in the output actually.

2025-04-25perf hist: Remove formats in hierarchy when cancel childrenNamhyung Kim
This is to support hierarchy options with custom output fields. Currently perf_hpp__cancel_cumulate() only removes accumulated overhead and latency fields from the global perf_hpp_list. This is not used in the hierarchy mode because each evsel's hist has its own separate hpp_list. So it needs to remove the fields from the lists too. Pass evlist to the function so that it can iterate the evsels.

2025-04-10perf ui browser hists: Set actions->thread before calling do_zoom_thread()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
In 7cecb7fe8388d5c3 ("perf hists: Move sort__has_comm into struct perf_hpp_list") it assumes that act->thread is set prior to calling do_zoom_thread(). This doesn't happen when we use ESC or the Left arrow key to Zoom out of a specific thread, making this operation not to work and we get stuck into the thread zoom. In 6422184b087ff435 ("perf hists browser: Simplify zooming code using pstack_peek()") it says no need to set actions->thread, and at that point that was true, but in 7cecb7fe8388d5c3 a actions->thread == NULL check was added before the zoom out of thread could kick in. We can zoom out using the alternative 't' thread zoom toggle hotkey to finally set actions->thread before calling do_zoom_thread() and zoom out, but lets also fix the ESC/Zoom out of thread case.

2025-04-10perf ui browser: Accept the left arrow key as a Zoom out if done on the ↵Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
first column In the past (like before 2015) we had the familiar workflow of using ENTER to get the menu and then zoom on a pid or DSO, kernel, etc and then use UP and DOWN to navigate further, etc, and then when wanting to go to the previous level, i.e. to Zoom out, use the LEFT arrow key. This way the right hand stays in the arrow keys block that is near the enter and we can go around real quickly. But then, when we started supporting horizontal scrolling by columns to support things like 'perf c2c report' that has lots of columns, we switched to using the LEFT key exclusively for that, horizontal scrolling, requiring the user to press 'm' to get a "context menu" that then would allow users to select the Zoom out operation. Ingo recently reported this as not intuitive, which is true, so lets overload the LEFT key with both meanings, by doing a Zoom out operation if the LEFT key is pressed when we're on the first column, but use it also for horizontal scrolling if it is pressed when the cursor is on column > 1.

2024-08-12perf annotate-data: Implement folding in TUI browserNamhyung Kim
Like 'perf report', use 'e' or 'E' key to toggle folding the current entry so that it can control displaying child entries. Note I didn't add the 'c' and 'C' key to collapse the entry because it's also handled with the 'e'/'E' since it toggles the state. Committer testing: Do some 'perf mem record' for some workload of the whole system, using the target options, as usual (--pid/-p, -C/--cpu, -a for the system wide profiling, etc) and then: # perf annotate --skip-empty --data-type=pthread_mutex_t That, by default, will start as --tui, then press 'E' to see the whole struct unfolded, etc. Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240812194447.2049187-3-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

In get_member_overhead(), k is updated when it has a entry in the histogram. But the entry->hists array is allocated with the number of evsel in the group. So the k should be reset when it iterates the event using for_each_group_evsel(), otherwise it'd crash due to a buffer overflow.

2024-05-07perf annotate: Use zfree() to avoid possibly accessing dangling pointersArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
When freeing a->b it is good practice to set a->b to NULL using zfree(&a->b) so that when we have a bug where a reference to a freed 'a' pointer is kept somewhere, we can more quickly cause a segfault if some code tries to use a->b. This is mostly done but some new cases were introduced recently, convert them to zfree().
