perf report: Free generated help strings for sort option

2021-07-15T20:27:52Z

ASan reports the memory leak of the strings allocated by sort_help() when running perf report. This patch changes the returned pointer to char* (instead of const char*), saves it in a temporary variable, and finally deallocates it at function exit.

perf sort: Display sort dimension p_stage_cyc only on supported archs

2021-03-26T11:50:00Z

The sort dimension "p_stage_cyc" is used to represent pipeline stage cycle information. Presently, this is used only in powerpc. For unsupported platforms, we don't want to display it in the perf report output columns. Hence add check in sort_dimension__add() and skip the sort key incase it is not applicable for the particular arch.

perf tools: Support pipeline stage cycles for powerpc

2021-03-26T11:49:54Z

The pipeline stage cycles details can be recorded on powerpc from the contents of Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) registers. On ISA v3.1 platform, sampling registers exposes the cycles spent in different pipeline stages. Patch adds perf tools support to present two of the cycle counter information along with memory latency (weight). Re-use the field 'ins_lat' for storing the first pipeline stage cycle. This is stored in 'var2_w' field of 'perf_sample_weight'. Add a new field 'p_stage_cyc' to store the second pipeline stage cycle which is stored in 'var3_w' field of perf_sample_weight. Add new sort function 'Pipeline Stage Cycle' and include this in default_mem_sort_order[]. This new sort function may be used to denote some other pipeline stage in another architecture. So add this to list of sort entries that can have dynamic header string.

perf sort: Add dynamic headers for perf report columns

2021-03-26T11:49:27Z

Currently the header string for different columns in perf report is fixed. Some fields of perf sample could have different meaning for different architectures than the meaning conveyed by the header string. An example is the new field 'var2_w' of perf_sample_weight structure. This is presently captured as 'Local INSTR Latency' in perf mem report. But this could be used to denote a different latency cycle in another architecture. Introduce a weak function arch_perf_header_entry() to set the arch specific header string for the fields which can contain dynamic header. If the architecture do not have this function, fall back to the default header string value.

perf report: Fix -F for branch & mem modes

2021-03-06T19:54:32Z

perf report fails to add valid additional fields with -F when used with branch or mem modes. Fix it. Before patch: $ perf record -b $ perf report -b -F +srcline_from --stdio Error: Invalid --fields key: `srcline_from' After patch: $ perf report -b -F +srcline_from --stdio # Samples: 8K of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 8784 ... Committer notes: There was an inversion: when looking at branch stack dimensions (keys) it was checking if the sort mode was 'mem', not 'branch'.

perf report: Support instruction latency

2021-02-08T19:25:00Z

The instruction latency information can be recorded on some platforms, e.g., the Intel Sapphire Rapids server. With both memory latency (weight) and the new instruction latency information, users can easily locate the expensive load instructions, and also understand the time spent in different stages. The users can optimize their applications in different pipeline stages. The 'weight' field is shared among different architectures. Reusing the 'weight' field may impacts other architectures. Add a new field to store the instruction latency. Like the 'weight' support, introduce a 'ins_lat' for the global instruction latency, and a 'local_ins_lat' for the local instruction latency version. Add new sort functions, INSTR Latency and Local INSTR Latency, accordingly. Add local_ins_lat to the default_mem_sort_order[].

perf tools: Support data block and addr block

2021-02-08T19:25:00Z

Two new data source fields, to indicate the block reasons of a load instruction, are introduced on the Intel Sapphire Rapids server. The fields can be used by the memory profiling. Add a new sort function, SORT_MEM_BLOCKED, for the two fields. For the previous platforms or the block reason is unknown, print "N/A" for the block reason. Add blocked as a default mem sort key for perf report and perf mem report.
