Subject: [PATCH v1 0/4] perf: enable compression of record mode trace to save
storage space
The patch set implements runtime record trace compression accompanied by
trace file decompression implemented in the tool report mode. Zstandard
library API [1] is used for compression/decompression of data that come
from perf_events kernel data buffers.
Realized -z,--compression_level=n option provides ~3-5x avg. trace file
size reduction on the tested workloads what significantly saves user's
storage space on larger server systems where trace file size can easily
reach several tens or even hundreds of GiBs, especially when profiling
with stacks for later dwarf unwinding, context-switches tracing and etc.
The option is effective jointly with asynchronous trace writing because
compression requires auxiliary memory buffers to operate on and memory
buffers for asynchronous trace writing serve that purpose.
Added --mmap-flush option can be used to avoid compressing every single
byte of data from mmaped kernel buffers to the trace file and increase
compression ratio at the same time lowering tool runtime overhead.
The feature can be disabled from the command line using NO_LIBZSTD define
and Zstandard sources can be overridden using value of LIBZSTD_DIR define.
The patch set is for Arnaldo's perf/core repository.
Examples:
$ make -C tools/perf NO_LIBZSTD=1 clean all
$ make -C tools/perf LIBZSTD_DIR=/path/to/zstd-1.3.7 clean all
$ tools/perf/perf record -F 42000 --aio -z 1 --mmap-flush 0x1000 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
