Subject: [GIT PULL 00/43] perf/core new feature: 'perf stat record/report'
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>
Hi Ingo,
Please consider pulling, cool new feature! This is on top of the
perf-core-for-mingo-2.1 tag, with that RHEL6.7 bugfix, I had also to go
over this one fixing stuff in many spots :-\
- Arnaldo
The following changes since commit 1843b4e057b7717db21a3ad96fa16d6b4ee8f6c4:
tools subcmd: Rename subcmd header include guards (2015-12-17 14:27:14 -0300)
are available in the git repository at:

perf stat report: Allow to override aggr_mode (2015-12-17 16:30:30 -0300)
----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvement.
User visible:
- Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the scripting
capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat' specific scripting
support to calculate event ratios, etc. Simple example:
$ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
1,134,996 cycles
0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat report
Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':
1,134,996 cycles
0.000670644 seconds time elapsed
$
It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:
$ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535
0x12a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_CONFIG
0x16a [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_STAT
-1 -1 0x19a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff81000000(0x1f000000) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text
0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
[acme@...andy linux]$
An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to not
generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.
The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.
Jiri's cover letter for this series:
The initial attempt defined its own formula lang and allowed triggering user's
script on the end of the stat command:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136742146322273&w=2
This patchset abandons the idea of new formula language and rather adds support
to:
- store stat data into perf.data file
- add python support to process stat events
Basically it allows to store stat data into perf.data and post process it with
python scripts in a similar way we do for sampling data.
The stat data are stored in new stat, stat-round, stat-config user events.
stat - stored for each read syscall of the counter
stat round - stored for each interval or end of the command invocation
stat config - stores all the config information needed to process data
so report tool could restore the same output as record
The python script can now define 'stat__<eventname>_<modifier>' functions
to get stat events data and 'stat__interval' to get stat-round data.
See CPI script example in scripts/python/stat-cpi.py.
