Subject: [RFC 00/12] perf diff: Factor diff command
hi,
this patchset factors the perf diff command to be usable for
differential profiling following paper from Paul McKenney:
(thanks to Arnaldo for sharing it with me).
http://www2.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/scalability/paper/profiling.2002.06.04.pdf
The 'perf diff' and 'std/hist' code is now changed to allow computations
mentioned in the paper. Two of them are implemented within this patchset:
1) ratio differential profiling
2) weighted differential profiling
The standard ratio delta computation stays as default.
To sum it up:
- perf diff displays output for matching event pairs within 2 given perf.data files
- stdio ui code is factored to allow easy insertion of new data column
- added perf diff '-b' option to display only matched hist entries
(hist entries found in both files)
- added perf diff '-c' option to choose diff computation,
support for:
delta: the current default one
ratio: ratio differential profile
wdiff: weighted differential profile
- added perf diff '-c+' option to sort entries based on the computation data
- added perf diff '-F' option to show formula used to compute the data
- added perf diff '-p' option to display hist entries periods
Attached patches:
01/12 perf diff: Make diff command work with evsel hists
02/12 perf tools: Replace sort's standalone field_sep with symbol_conf.field_sep
03/12 perf hists: Add struct hists pointer to struct hist_entry
04/12 perf diff: Refactor diff displacement possition info
05/12 perf diff: Refactor stdio ui data columns output
06/12 perf diff: Add -b option for perf diff to display paired entries only
07/12 perf diff: Add ratio computation way to compare hist entries
08/12 perf diff: Add option to sort entries based on diff computation
09/12 perf diff: Add weighted diff computation way to compare hist entries
10/12 perf diff: Add -p option to display period values for hist entries
11/12 perf diff: Add -F option to display formula for computation
12/12 perf diff: Add -F option for ratio computation
I'm still testing this, trying to find out useful outputs/computations/options,
so looking for any ideas and recommendations ;)
thanks,
jirka
