perf report: Show all sort keys in help output

2019-03-19T19:15:42Z

Show all the supported sort keys in the command line help output, so that it's not needed to refer to the manpage. Before: % perf report -h ... -s, --sort sort by key(s): pid, comm, dso, symbol, parent, cpu, srcline, ... Please refer the man page for the complete list. After: % perf report -h ... -s, --sort sort by key(s): overhead overhead_sys overhead_us overhead_guest_sys overhead_guest_us overhead_children sample period pid comm dso symbol parent cpu ...

perf report: Support time sort key

2019-03-11T19:32:31Z

Add a time sort key to perf report to display samples for different time quantums separately. This allows easier analysis of workloads that change over time, and also will allow looking at the context of samples. % perf record ... % perf report --sort time,overhead,symbol --time-quantum 1ms --stdio ... 0.67% 277061.87300 [.] _dl_start 0.50% 277061.87300 [.] f1 0.50% 277061.87300 [.] f2 0.33% 277061.87300 [.] main 0.29% 277061.87300 [.] _dl_lookup_symbol_x 0.29% 277061.87300 [.] dl_main 0.29% 277061.87300 [.] do_lookup_x 0.17% 277061.87300 [.] _dl_debug_initialize 0.17% 277061.87300 [.] _dl_init_paths 0.08% 277061.87300 [.] check_match 0.04% 277061.87300 [.] _dl_count_modids 1.33% 277061.87400 [.] f1 1.33% 277061.87400 [.] f2 1.33% 277061.87400 [.] main 1.17% 277061.87500 [.] main 1.08% 277061.87500 [.] f1 1.08% 277061.87500 [.] f2 1.00% 277061.87600 [.] main 0.83% 277061.87600 [.] f1 0.83% 277061.87600 [.] f2 1.00% 277061.87700 [.] main Committer notes: Rename 'time' argument to hist_time() to htime to overcome this in older distros: cc1: warnings being treated as errors util/hist.c: In function 'hist_time': util/hist.c:251: error: declaration of 'time' shadows a global declaration /usr/include/time.h:186: error: shadowed declaration is here Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190311144502.15423-4-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf report: Don't shadow inlined symbol with different addr range

2019-02-19T15:30:12Z

We can't assume inlined symbols with the same name are equal, because their address range may be different. This will cause the symbols with different addresses be shadowed when adding to the hist entry, and lead to ERANGE error when checking the symbol address during sample parse, the addr should be within the range of [sym.start, sym.end]. The error message is like: "0x36aea60 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68". The second parameter of symbol__new() is the length of the fake symbol for the inline frame, which is the subtraction of the end and start address of base_sym.

perf report: Move symbol annotation to the resort phase

2019-02-06T13:00:40Z

Currently we make the annotation for the IPC column during the entry display, already outside of the progress bar scope, so it appears like 'perf report' is stuck. Move the annotation retrieval to the resort phase, so that all the data are ready for display.

pref tools: Add missing map.h includes

2019-02-06T13:00:38Z

Lots of places get the map.h file indirectly, and since we're going to remove it from machine.h, then those need to include it directly, do it now, before we remove that dep.

perf tools: Fix diverse comment typos

2018-12-17T17:56:47Z

Go over the tools/ files that are maintained in Arnaldo's tree and fix common typos: half of them were in comments, the other half in JSON files. No change in functionality intended. Committer notes: This was split from a larger patch as there are code that is, additionally, maintained outside the kernel tree, so to ease cherry-picking and/or backporting, split this into multiple patches. Just typos in comments, no need to backport, reducing the possibility of possible backporting artifacts.

perf report: Display average IPC and IPC coverage per symbol

2018-12-17T17:55:44Z

Support displaying the average IPC and IPC coverage per symbol in 'perf report' --tui and --stdio modes. For example, $ perf record -b ... $ perf report -s symbol Overhead Symbol IPC [IPC Coverage] 39.60% [.] __random 2.30 [ 54.8%] 18.02% [.] main 0.43 [ 54.3%] 14.21% [.] compute_flag 2.29 [100.0%] 14.16% [.] rand 0.36 [100.0%] 7.06% [.] __random_r 2.57 [ 70.5%] 6.85% [.] rand@plt 0.00 [ 0.0%] Jiri Olsa provided the patch to support the --stdio mode. I merged Jiri's code in this patch. $ perf report -s symbol --stdio # Overhead Symbol IPC [IPC Coverage] # ........ ........................... .................... # 39.60% [.] __random 2.30 [ 54.8%] 18.02% [.] main 0.43 [ 54.3%] 14.21% [.] compute_flag 2.29 [100.0%] 14.16% [.] rand 0.36 [100.0%] 7.06% [.] __random_r 2.57 [ 70.5%] 6.85% [.] rand@plt 0.00 [ 0.0%] 0.02% [k] run_timer_softirq 1.60 [ 57.2%] The columns "IPC" and "[IPC Coverage]" are automatically enabled when the sort-key "symbol" is specified. If the perf.data file doesn't contain timed LBR information, columns are filled with "-". For example, # Overhead Symbol IPC [IPC Coverage] # ........ ........................... .................... # 46.57% [.] main - - 17.60% [.] rand - - 15.84% [.] __random_r - - 11.90% [.] __random - - 6.50% [.] compute_flag - - 1.59% [.] rand@plt - - 0.00% [.] _dl_relocate_object - - 0.00% [k] tlb_flush_mmu - - 0.00% [k] perf_event_mmap - - 0.00% [k] native_sched_clock - - 0.00% [k] intel_pmu_handle_irq_v4 - - 0.00% [k] native_write_msr - - v3: --- Removed the sortkey 'ipc' from command-line.

tools lib traceevent, perf tools: Rename enum format_flags to enum tep_format_flags

2018-09-19T20:14:13Z

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, variables, data structures and functions require a unique prefix to prevent name space conflicts. That prefix will be "tep_". This renames enum format_flags to enum tep_format_flags and adds prefix TEP_ to all of its members.
