Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] perf: enable compression of record mode trace to save
storage space
The patch set implements runtime trace compression for record mode and
trace file decompression for report mode. Zstandard 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 variety of tested workloads what saves user 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 and context-switches tracing and etc.
$ tools/perf/perf record -z 1 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
--mmap-flush option can be used to avoid compressing every single byte
of data and increase compression ratio at the same time lowering tool
runtime overhead.
The compression functionality can be disabled from the command line
using NO_LIBZSTD define and Zstandard sources can be overridden using
value of LIBZSTD_DIR define:
$ make -C tools/perf NO_LIBZSTD=1 clean all
$ make -C tools/perf LIBZSTD_DIR=/path/to/zstd-1.3.7 clean all
The patch set is for Arnaldo's perf/core repository.
