Subject: [RFC 00/21] perf tools: Add toggling events support
hi,
sending *RFC* for toggling events support.
Adding perf interface that allows to create toggle events, which can
enable or disable another event. Whenever the toggle event is triggered
(has overflow), it toggles another event state and either starts or
stops it.
The goal is to be able to create toggling tracepoint events to enable and
disable HW counters, but the interface is generic enough to be used for
any kind of event.
It's based on the Frederic's patchset:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/14/346
Most of the changelogs info is on wiki:
https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Jolsa_Features_Togle_Event
In a nutshell:
The interface is added to the sys_perf_event_open syscall
and new ioctl was added for completeness, check:
perf: Add event toggle sys_perf_event_open interface
perf: Add event toggle ioctl interface
The perf tool interface is pretty rough at the moment. We use
'on' and 'off' terms to specify the toggling event, like:
-e 'cycles,irq_entry/on=cycles/,irq_exit/off=cycles/'
Meaning:
- irq_entry toggles on (starts) cycles, and irq_exit toggled off (stops) cycles.
- cycles is started as paused
Looking forward to some ideas for better interface in here ;-)
The patchset is available at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
perf/core_toggle
thanks for comments,
jirka
Example:
Define toggle(on/off) events:
# perf probe -a fork_entry=do_fork
# perf probe -a fork_exit=do_fork%return
Following record session samples only within do_fork function:
# perf record -g -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:k,probe:fork_entry/on=cycles/,probe:fork_exit/off=cycles/' \
perf bench sched messaging
Following stat session measure cycles within do_fork function:
# perf stat -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:k,probe:fork_entry/on=cycles/,probe:fork_exit/off=cycles/' \
perf bench sched messaging
# Running sched/messaging benchmark...
# 20 sender and receiver processes per group
# 1 groups == 40 processes run
Total time: 0.073 [sec]
Performance counter stats for './perf bench sched messaging -g 1':
20,935,464 cycles # 0.000 GHz
18,897 cache-misses
40 probe:fork_entry
40 probe:fork_exit
0.086319682 seconds time elapsed
Example:
Measure interrupts cycles:
# ./perf stat -e 'cycles,cycles/name=cycles_irq/,irq:irq_handler_entry/on=cycles_irq/,irq:irq_handler_exit/off=cycles_irq/' -a sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
50,680,084,994 cycles # 0.000 GHz [100.00%]
652,690 cycles_irq # 0.000 GHz
33 irq:irq_handler_entry [100.00%]
33 irq:irq_handler_exit
10.002084400 seconds time elapsed
