perf parse-events: Handle uncore event aliases in small groups properly

2018-05-30T13:40:44Z

Perf stat doesn't count the uncore event aliases from the same uncore block in a group, for example: perf stat -e '{unc_m_cas_count.all,unc_m_clockticks}' -a -I 1000 # time counts unit events 1.000447342 unc_m_cas_count.all 1.000447342 unc_m_clockticks 2.000740654 unc_m_cas_count.all 2.000740654 unc_m_clockticks The output is very misleading. It gives a wrong impression that the uncore event doesn't work. An uncore block could be composed by several PMUs. An uncore event alias is a joint name which means the same event runs on all PMUs of a block. Perf doesn't support mixed events from different PMUs in the same group. It is wrong to put uncore event aliases in a big group. The right way is to split the big group into multiple small groups which only include the events from the same PMU. Only uncore event aliases from the same uncore block should be specially handled here. It doesn't make sense to mix the uncore events with other uncore events from different blocks or even core events in a group.

perf stat: Fix duplicate PMU name for interval print

2018-04-24T19:12:00Z

PMU name is printed repeatedly for interval print, for example: perf stat --no-merge -e 'unc_m_clockticks' -a -I 1000 # time counts unit events 1.001053069 243,702,144 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_4] 1.001053069 244,268,304 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_2] 1.001053069 244,427,386 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_0] 1.001053069 244,583,760 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5] 1.001053069 244,738,971 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3] 1.001053069 244,880,309 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_1] 2.002024821 240,818,200 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_4] [uncore_imc_4] 2.002024821 240,767,812 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_2] [uncore_imc_2] 2.002024821 240,764,215 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_0] [uncore_imc_0] 2.002024821 240,759,504 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5] [uncore_imc_5] 2.002024821 240,755,992 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3] [uncore_imc_3] 2.002024821 240,750,403 unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_1] [uncore_imc_1] For each print, the PMU name is unconditionally appended to the counter->name. Need to check the counter->name first. If the PMU name is already appended, do nothing. Committer notes: Add and use perf_evsel->uniquified_name bool instead of doing the more expensive strstr(event->name, pmu->name).

perf report: Fix the output for stdio events list

perf pmu: Display pmu name when printing unmerged events in stat

2018-03-08T13:05:49Z

To simplify creation of events accross multiple instances of the same type of PMU stat supports two methods for creating multiple events from a single event specification: 1. A prefix or glob can be used in the PMU name. 2. Aliases, which are listed immediately after the Kernel PMU events by perf list, are used. When the --no-merge option is passed and these events are displayed individually the PMU name is lost and it's not possible to see which count corresponds to which pmu: $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 67 l3cache/read-miss/ 67 l3cache/read-miss/ 63 l3cache/read-miss/ 60 l3cache/read-miss/ 0.001675706 seconds time elapsed $ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 12 l3cache_read_miss 17 l3cache_read_miss 10 l3cache_read_miss 8 l3cache_read_miss 0.001661305 seconds time elapsed This change adds the original pmu name to the event. For dynamic pmu events the pmu name is restored in the event name: $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 63 l3cache_0_3/read-miss/ 74 l3cache_0_1/read-miss/ 64 l3cache_0_2/read-miss/ 74 l3cache_0_0/read-miss/ 0.001675706 seconds time elapsed For alias events the name is added after the event name: $ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 10 l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_3] 12 l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_1] 10 l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_2] 17 l3cache_read_miss [l3cache_0_0] 0.001661305 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Agustin Vega-Frias Acked-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Timur Tabi Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Change-Id: I8056b9eda74bda33e95065056167ad96e97cb1fb Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1520345084-42646-3-git-send-email-agustinv@codeaurora.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Add perf_evlist__parse_sample_timestamp function

2017-11-16T17:50:09Z

Add perf_evlist__parse_sample_timestamp to retrieve the timestamp of the sample. The idea is to use this function instead of the full sample parsing before we queue the sample. At that time only the timestamp is needed and we parse the sample once again later on delivery.

perf evsel: Enable type checking for perf_evsel_config_term types

2017-11-16T17:49:51Z

Use a typed enum for the perf_evsel_config_term type enum. This allows gcc to do much stronger type checks, and also check for missing case statements. I removed the unused _MAX member from the number. It found one missing case. I'm not sure it's a real problem, so I just turned it into a BUG_ON for now.
