Subject: [RFC/PATCHSET 00/12] perf report: Add support to event group viewing (v1)
Hi all,
This is a patchset to support event grouping on perf report.
It depends on other patches like refactoring hist print [1],
processing file header feature [2] and (obviously) Jiri's event group
management [3]. All of this need to be reviewed though. ;)
The basic idea is move group member's hist entries to a leader, and
sort/collapse them on the leader's tree. The leader will have all of
group members' stat in it. The output is sorted by the leader's period
and in turn first child and so on.
To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then
perf report parses the saved command line and reconstruct the group
relation. Currently only the '-e { event1,event2 }' syntax is supported
(i.e. --group option is *NOT* supported) to make things easy. But it'd
not be that hard to support --group also.
But I think re-using event parsing routine (at least, in its current
form) has some problems especially if perf report will not run on the
same machine that runs perf record. I cannot find a better way than
extending/changing the perf file format to let perf record know about
the group relationship. Any thought?
Here is an example:
$ ./perf record -e cycles:u -e '{cache-references,cache-misses}:u' noploop 1
Without --group:
$ ./perf report --stdio

(Hmm.. looks like there's a bug in group event counting in the header
area. But I believe the period value itself is intact.)
You can access it via my tree as well (if you want to test it).
