2015-10-06perf tools: Get rid of superfluos call to reset_dimensionsJiri Olsa1-2/+0
There's no need to call reset_dimensions within __setup_output_field function. It's already called in its caller setup_sorting right before perf_hpp__init, which will be changed in following patch to respect taken dimension.

2015-10-05perf tools: Add support for sorting on the iaddrDon Zickus1-0/+37
Sorting on 'symbol' gives to broad a resolution as it can cover a range of IP address. Use the iaddr instead to get proper sorting on IP addresses. Need to use the 'mem_sort' feature of perf record.

2015-09-02perf tools: Always use non inlined file name for 'srcfile' sort keyAndi Kleen1-2/+2
When profiling the kernel with the 'srcfile' sort key it's common to "get stuck" in include. For example a lot of code uses current or other inlines, so they get accounted to some random include file. This is not very useful as a high level categorization. For example just profiling the idle loop usually shows mostly inlines, so you never see the actual cpuidle file. This patch changes the 'srcfile' sort key to always unwind the inline stack using BFD/DWARF. So we always account to the base function that called the inline. In a few cases include is still shown (for example for MSR accesses), but that is because they get inlining expanded as part of assigning to a global function pointer. For the majority it works fine though. v2: Use simpler while loop. Add maximum iteration count.

2015-08-10perf report: Add support for srcfile sort keyAndi Kleen1-0/+52
In some cases it's useful to characterize samples by file. This is useful to get a higher level categorization, for example to map cost to subsystems. Add a srcfile sort key to perf report. It builds on top of the existing srcline support.

cycles is a new branch_info field available on some CPUs that indicates the time deltas between branches in the LBR. Add a sort key and output code for the cycles to allow to display the basic block cycles individually in perf report. We also pass in the cycles for weight when LBRs are processed, which allows to get global and local weight, to get an estimate of the total cost. And also print the cycles information for perf report -D.

2015-06-19perf report: Fix sort__sym_cmp to also compare end of symbolYannick Brosseau1-5/+3
When using a map file from a JIT, due to memory reuse, we can obtain multiple symbols with the same start address but a different length. The symbols__find does check for the end so not doing it in sort__sym_cmp was causing the hist_entry in the annotate part of a report to match to the wrong entry, causing a fatal error.

2015-02-27perf diff: Support for different binariesKan Liang1-0/+9
Currently, the perf diff only works with same binaries. That's because it compares the symbol start address. It doesn't work if the perf.data comes from different binaries. This patch matches the symbol names. Actually, perf diff once intended to compare the symbol names. The commit as below can look for a pair by name. 604c5c92972d (perf diff: Change the default sort order to "dso,symbol") However, at that time, perf diff used a global list of dsos. That means the binaries which has same name can only be loaded once. That's a problem for comparing different binaries. For example, we have an old binary and an updated binary. They very likely have same name and most of the functions, so only dsos from old binary will be loaded. When processing the data from updated binary, perf still use the symbol information from old binary. That's wrong. Then the commit as below used IP to replace symbol name. 9c443dfdd31e ("perf diff: Fix support for all --sort combinations") >From that time, perf diff starts to compare the symbol address. The global dsos is discarded from a patch in 2010. a1645ce12adb ("perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host") However, at that time, perf diff already compared by address. So perf diff cannot work for different binaries as well. This patch actually rolls back the perf diff to original design. The document is also changed, so everybody knows the original design is to compare the symbol names. Here are some examples: The only difference between example_v1.c and example_v2.c is the location of f2 and f3. There is no change in behavior, but the previous perf diff display the wrong differential profile. example_v1.c noinline void f3(void) { volatile int i; for (i = 0; i < 10000;) { if(i%2) i++; else i++; } } noinline void f2(void) { volatile int a = 100, b, c; for (b = 0; b < 10000; b++) c = a * b; } noinline void f1(void) { f2(); f3(); } int main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) f1(); } example_v2.c noinline void f2(void) { volatile int a = 100, b, c; for (b = 0; b < 10000; b++) c = a * b; } noinline void f3(void) { volatile int i; for (i = 0; i < 10000;) { if(i%2) i++; else i++; } } noinline void f1(void) { f2(); f3(); } int main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) f1(); } [lk@localhost perf_diff]$ gcc example_v1.c -o example [lk@localhost perf_diff]$ perf record -o example_v1.data ./example [ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.813 MB example_v1.data (~35522 samples) ] [lk@localhost perf_diff]$ gcc example_v2.c -o example [lk@localhost perf_diff]$ perf record -o example_v2.data ./example [ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.824 MB example_v2.data (~36015 samples) ] Old perf diff result: [lk@localhost perf_diff]$ perf diff example_v1.data example_v2.data Event 'cycles' Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol ........ ....... ................ ...............................

2014-06-09perf tools: Add dcacheline sortDon Zickus1-0/+107
In perf's 'mem-mode', one can get access to a whole bunch of details specific to a particular sample instruction. A bunch of those details relate to the data address. One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique cacheline they belong too. Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting them can reveal cache contention. This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it. The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared. The alogortithm is as follows: o group cpumodes together o group entries with discovered maps together o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers o if userspace anon, then sort on pid o sort on cachelines based on data addresses The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'. Sample output: # # Samples: 206 of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp' # Total weight : 2534 # Sort order : dcacheline,pid # # Overhead Samples Data Cacheline Command: Pid # ........ ............ ...................................................................... .................. # 13.22% 1 [k] 0xffff88042f08ebc0 swapper: 0 9.27% 1 [k] 0xffff88082e8cea80 swapper: 0 3.59% 2 [k] 0xffffffff819ba180 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace_handler_na.23901+0xffffffffffffffe0 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] timekeeper_seq+0xfffffffffffffff8 swapper: 0 Note: Added a '+1' to symlen size in hists__calc_col_len to prevent the next column from prematurely tabbing over and mis-aligning.

2014-06-03perf tools: Move elide bool into perf_hpp_fmt structJiri Olsa1-34/+56
After output/sort fields refactoring, it's expensive to check the elide bool in its current location inside the 'struct sort_entry'. The perf_hpp__should_skip function gets highly noticable in workloads with high number of output/sort fields, like for: $ perf report -i perf-test.data -F overhead,sample,period,comm,pid,dso,symbol,cpu --stdio Performance report: 9.70% perf [.] perf_hpp__should_skip Moving the elide bool into the 'struct perf_hpp_fmt', which makes the perf_hpp__should_skip just single struct read. Got speedup of around 22% for my test perf.data workload. The change should not harm any other workload types.
