perf parse-events: Use wildcard processing to set an event to merge into

2025-05-14T12:36:24Z

The merge stat code fails for uncore events if they are repeated twice, for example `perf stat -e clockticks,clockticks -I 1000` as the counts of the second set of uncore events will be merged into the first counter. Reimplement the logic to have a first_wildcard_match so that merged later events correctly merge into the first wildcard event that they will be aggregated into.

perf stat: Don't merge counters purely on name

2025-02-05T05:29:05Z

Counter merging was added in commit 942c5593393d ("perf stat: Add perf_stat_merge_counters()"), however, it merges events with the same name on different PMUs regardless of whether the different PMUs are actually of the same type (ie they differ only in the suffix on the PMU). For hwmon events there may be a temp1 event on every PMU, but the PMU names are all unique and don't differ just by a suffix. The merging is over eager and will merge all the hwmon counters together meaning an aggregated and very large temp1 value is shown. The same would be true for say cache events and memory controller events where the PMUs differ but the event names are the same. Fix the problem by correctly saying two PMUs alias when they differ only by suffix. Note, there is an overlap with evsel's merged_stat with aggregation and the evsel's metric_leader where aggregation happens for metrics.

perf evsel: Remove pmu_name

2024-09-26T20:26:11Z

"evsel->pmu_name" is only ever assigned a strdup of "pmu->name", a strdup of "evsel->pmu_name" or NULL. As such, prefer to use "pmu->name" directly and even to directly compare PMUs than PMU names. For safety, add some additional NULL tests.

perf cpumap: Clean up use of perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty

2024-03-21T13:41:28Z

Most uses of what was perf_cpu_map__empty but is now perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty want to do something with the CPU map if it contains CPUs. Replace uses of perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty with other helpers so that CPUs within the map can be handled.

libperf cpumap: Rename perf_cpu_map__empty() to perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty()

2023-12-12T17:55:13Z

The name perf_cpu_map_empty is misleading as true is also returned when the map contains an "any" CPU (aka dummy) map. Rename to perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty(), later changes will (re)introduce perf_cpu_map__empty() and perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu().

perf stat: Show average value on multiple runs

2023-06-16T13:17:45Z

When -r option is used, perf stat runs the command multiple times and update stats in the evsel->stats.res_stats for global aggregation. But the value is never used and the value it prints at the end is just the value from the last run. I think we should print the average number of multiple runs. Add evlist__copy_res_stats() to update the aggr counter (for display) using the values in the evsel->stats.res_stats.

perf stat: Fix counting when initial delay configured

2023-03-02T20:39:03Z

When creating counters with initial delay configured, the enable_on_exec field is not set. So we need to enable the counters later. The problem is, when a workload is specified the target__none() is true. So we also need to check stat_config.initial_delay. In this change, we add a new field 'initial_delay' for struct target which could be shared by other subcommands. And define target__enable_on_exec() which returns whether enable_on_exec should be set on normal cases. Before this fix the event is not counted: $ ./perf stat -e instructions -D 100 sleep 2 Events disabled Events enabled Performance counter stats for 'sleep 2': instructions 1.901661124 seconds time elapsed 0.001602000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys After fix it works: $ ./perf stat -e instructions -D 100 sleep 2 Events disabled Events enabled Performance counter stats for 'sleep 2': 404,214 instructions 1.901743475 seconds time elapsed 0.001617000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys Fixes: c587e77e100fa40e ("perf stat: Do not delay the workload with --delay") Signed-off-by: Changbin Du Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Hui Wang Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230302031146.2801588-2-changbin.du@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
