Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 00/14] Share events between metrics
Metric groups contain metrics. Metrics create groups of events to
ideally be scheduled together. Often metrics refer to the same events,
for example, a cache hit and cache miss rate. Using separate event
groups means these metrics are multiplexed at different times and the
counts don't sum to 100%. More multiplexing also decreases the
accuracy of the measurement.
This change orders metrics from groups or the command line, so that
the ones with the most events are set up first. Later metrics see if
groups already provide their events, and reuse them if
possible. Unnecessary events and groups are eliminated.
The option --metric-no-group is added so that metrics aren't placed in
groups. This affects multiplexing and may increase sharing.
The option --metric-mo-merge is added and with this option the
existing grouping behavior is preserved.
RFC because:
- without this change events within a metric may get scheduled
together, after they may appear as part of a larger group and be
multiplexed at different times, lowering accuracy - however, less
multiplexing may compensate for this.
- libbpf's hashmap is used, however, libbpf is an optional
requirement for building perf.
- other things I'm not thinking of.
Thanks!
Example on Sandybridge:
$ perf stat -a --metric-no-merge -M TopDownL1_SMT sleep 1

v3. is a rebase with following the merging of patches in v2. It also
adds the metric-no-group and metric-no-merge flags.
v2. is the entire patch set based on acme's perf/core tree and includes a
cherry-picks. Patch 13 was sent for review to the bpf maintainers here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200506205257.8964-2-irogers@google.com/
v1. was based on the perf metrics fixes and test sent here:
