Subject: [PATCH 00/19] perf report: Add support for event group view (v9)
Hello,
This is a 9th attempt to enable event group view support to perf report.
The basic idea is link group member's hist entries to a leader so that
they can be shown with leader's output together. The output is sorted
by the leader's period and in turn first group member's and so on.
To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then
perf report parses the saved group relation from file header and
prints them together if --group option is provided. You can use 'perf
evlist' command to see event group information:
$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]
$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}
With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately like this:
$ perf report
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
#
# Samples: 3K of event 'ref-cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 3153797218
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ..........................
#
99.84% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp
0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del
0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time
0.01% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
# Samples: 3K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 3722310525
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. .........................
#
99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page
0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks
0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time
0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
In this case the event group information will be shown in the end of
header area. So you can use --group option to enable event group view.
$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
#
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ....... ................. ..........................
#
99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp
0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del
0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time
0.01% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
0.00% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
0.00% 0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
0.00% 0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page
0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks
0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time
As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and
cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group {
ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of group leader
first.
If perf.data file doesn't contain group information, this --group
option does nothing. So if you want enable event group view by
default you can set it in ~/.perfconfig file:
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
[report]
group = true
It can be overridden with command line if you want:
$ perf report --no-group
You can also get this on my 'perf/group-v9' branch in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git
Any comments are welcome, thanks.
