[PATCHSET 00/19] perf stat: Cleanup counter aggregation (v2)
Posted by Namhyung Kim 3 years, 5 months ago
Hello,

Current perf stat code is somewhat hard to follow since it handles
many combinations of PMUs/events for given display and aggregation
options.  This is my attempt to clean it up a little. ;-)

changes in v2)
 * fix a segfault in perf stat report for per-process record  (Jiri)
 * fix metric only display  (Jiri)
 * add evsel__reset_aggr_stat  (ian)
 * add more comments  (Ian)
 * add Acked-by from Ian

My first concern is that aggregation and display routines are intermixed
and processed differently depends on the aggregation mode.  I'd like to
separate them apart and make the logic clearer.

To do that, I added struct perf_stat_aggr to save the aggregated counter
values and other info.  It'll be allocated and processed according to
the aggr_mode and display logic will use it.

I've tested the following combination.

  $ cat test-matrix.sh
  #!/bin/sh

  set -e

  yes > /dev/null &
  TARGET=$!

  ./perf stat true
  ./perf stat -a true
  ./perf stat -C0 true
  ./perf stat -p $TARGET true
  ./perf stat -t $TARGET true

  ./perf stat -a -A true
  ./perf stat -a --per-node true
  ./perf stat -a --per-socket true
  ./perf stat -a --per-die true
  ./perf stat -a --per-core true
  ./perf stat -a --per-thread true

  ./perf stat -a -I 500 sleep 1
  ./perf stat -a -I 500 --summary sleep 1
  ./perf stat -a -I 500 --per-socket sleep 1
  ./perf stat -a -I 500 --summary --per-socket sleep 1

  ./perf stat -a --metric-only true
  ./perf stat -a --metric-only --per-socket true
  ./perf stat -a --metric-only -I 500 sleep 1
  ./perf stat -a --metric-only -I 500 --per-socket sleep 1

  ./perf stat record true && ./perf stat report
  ./perf stat record -p $TARGET true && ./perf stat report
  ./perf stat record -a true && ./perf stat report
  ./perf stat record -a --per-core true && ./perf stat report
  ./perf stat record -a --per-core --metric-only true && ./perf stat report
  ./perf stat record -a -I 500 sleep 1 && ./perf stat report
  ./perf stat record -a -I 500 --per-core sleep 1 && ./perf stat report
  ./perf stat record -a -I 500 --per-core --metric-only sleep 1 && ./perf stat report

  ./perf stat -a -A -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ true
  ./perf stat -a -A -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ --percore-show-thread true

  kill $TARGET

The code is available at 'perf/stat-aggr-v2' branch in

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Namhyung

I've noticed there's an issue with cgroups.  Will send a fix soon.

[PATCH 20/19] perf stat: Factor out evsel__count_has_error()
Posted by Namhyung Kim 3 years, 5 months ago
It's possible to have 0 enabled/running time for some per-task or per-cgroup
events since it's not scheduled on any CPU.  Treating the whole event as
failed would not work in this case.  Thinking again, the code only existed
when any CPU-level aggregation is enabled (like per-socket, per-core, ...).

To make it clearer, factor out the condition check into the new
evsel__count_has_error() function and add some comments.

So I should just add this one to the 19-long patchkit I already applied
locally, ok.
