Subject: [RFC 1/3] perf tools: Fix weight sort key behavior
Currently, the weight field in the perf sample has latency information
for some instructions like in memory access. And perf tool has weight
and local_weight sort keys to display the info.
But it's somewhat confusing what it shows exactly. In my understanding,
the local_weight shows a weight in a single sample, and (global) weight
shows a sum of the weights in the hist_entry.
For example,
$ perf mem record -t load dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1M
$ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight
...
#
# Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol Local Weight
# ........ ............ ....... ................ ................................... ............
#
21.23% 313 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 32
12.43% 183 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 35
11.97% 159 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 36
10.40% 141 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_put_return 32
7.63% 113 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 33
6.37% 92 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 34
6.15% 90 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_put_return 33
...
So let's look at the lockref_get_not_zero symbols. The top entry shows
that 313 samples were captured with local_weight 32, so the total weight
should be 313 x 32 = 10016. But it's not the case like below:
$ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight,weight -S lockref_get_not_zero
...
#
# Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Local Weight Weight
# ........ ............ ....... ................ ............ ............
#
1.36% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144
0.47% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 37 148
0.42% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128
0.40% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 34 136
0.35% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144
0.34% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 35 140
0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144
0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 34 136
0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128
0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128
...
With 'weight' sort key, it's divided to 4 samples even with same info
(comm,dso,sym and local_weight). I don't think this is what we want.
I found this is because of the way it aggregate the weight value.
Since it's not a period, we should not add them in the he->stat.
Otherwise, two 32 weight entries will create a 64 weight entry.
After that, new 32 weight samples don't have a matching entry so it'd
create a new entry and make it a 64 weight entry again and again.
Later, they will be merged into 128 weight entries during the
hists__collapse_resort() with 4 samples, multiple times like above.
Let's keep the weight and display differently. For local_weight, it
can show the weight as is, and for (global) weight it can display the
number multiplied by the number of samples.
With this change, I can see the expected numbers.
$ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight,weight -S lockref_get_not_zero
...
