Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] perf stat: add rusage utime and stime events
It bothered me that during benchmarking using perf stat (to collect
for example CPU cache events) I could not simultaneously retrieve the
times spend in user or kernel mode in a machine readable format.
When running perf stat the output for humans contains the times
reported by rusage and wait4.
$ perf stat -e cache-misses:u -- true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
4,206 cache-misses:u
0.001113619 seconds time elapsed
0.001175000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
But perf stat's machine-readable format does not provide this information.
$ perf stat -x, -e cache-misses:u -- true
4282,,cache-misses:u,492859,100.00,,
I found no way to retrieve this information using the available events
while using machine-readable output.
This patch adds two new tool internal events 'rusage_user_time'
and 'rusage_system_time' as well as their aliases 'ru_utime' and
'ru_stime', similarly to the already present 'duration_time' event.
Both events use the already collected rusage information obtained by wait4
and tracked in the global ru_stats.
Examples presenting cache-misses and rusage information in both human and
machine-readable form:
$ ./perf stat -e duration_time,ru_utime,ru_stime,cache-misses -- grep -q -r duration_time .
Performance counter stats for 'grep -q -r duration_time .':
67,422,542 ns duration_time:u
50,517,000 ns ru_utime:u
16,839,000 ns ru_stime:u
30,937 cache-misses:u
0.067422542 seconds time elapsed
0.050517000 seconds user
0.016839000 seconds sys
$ ./perf stat -x, -e duration_time,ru_utime,ru_stime,cache-misses -- grep -q -r duration_time .
72134524,ns,duration_time:u,72134524,100.00,,
65225000,ns,ru_utime:u,65225000,100.00,,
6865000,ns,ru_stime:u,6865000,100.00,,
