perf mem: Show absolute percent in mem_stat output

Currently the output sums up to 100% for each entry. But it can be confusing when it's displayed with 'overhead'.

perf mem: Add 'dtlb' output field

2025-05-02T18:36:14Z

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.

2025-05-02T18:36:14Z

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. The rest goes to 'memory' field which can be RAM, CXL, PMEM, IO, etc. $ perf mem report -F cache,mem,dso --stdio ... # # -------------- Cache -------------- --- Memory --- # L1 L2 L3 L1-buf Other RAM Other Shared Object # ................................... .............. .................................... # 53.9% 3.6% 16.2% 21.6% 4.8% 4.8% 95.2% [kernel.kallsyms] 64.7% 1.7% 3.5% 17.4% 12.8% 12.8% 87.2% chrome (deleted) 78.3% 2.8% 0.0% 1.0% 17.9% 17.9% 82.1% libc.so.6 39.6% 1.5% 0.0% 5.7% 53.2% 53.2% 46.8% libxul.so 26.2% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 73.8% 73.8% 26.2% [unknown] 85.5% 0.0% 0.0% 14.5% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% libspa-audioconvert.so 66.3% 4.4% 0.0% 29.4% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% libglib-2.0.so.0.8200.1 (deleted) 1.9% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 98.1% 98.1% 1.9% libmutter-cogl-15.so.0.0.0 (deleted) 10.6% 0.0% 0.0% 89.4% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% libpulsecommon-16.1.so 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% libfreeblpriv3.so (deleted) ...

perf hist: Hide unused mem stat columns

perf mem: Add 'op' output field

2025-05-02T18:36:14Z

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 Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Leo Yan Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Ravi Bangoria Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250430205548.789750-8-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf hist: Implement output fields for mem stats

2025-05-02T18:36:14Z

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.

perf hist: Basic support for mem_stat accounting

2025-05-02T18:36:14Z

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.

As we don't use multi-line headers normally, it should not have any changes in the output.
