perf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugs At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring (perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1. These tools ask for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1. This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are numbered sparsely. For example, a POWER6 system in single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per core) will have only even-numbered cpus online. This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online file to find out which cpus are online. The code that does that is in tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map() function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of online cpus. If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[]. The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to perf_event_open.

perf stat: Basic support for TopDown in perf stat Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles idle metrics in standard perf stat output. These metrics are not reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects. This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to --transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters (one fixed counter) The result are four metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level. The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics. This implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is available in pmu-tools toplev. (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools) The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge, and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont. In principle the generic metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs. TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of them): topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery from misspeculation These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation. Add a new --topdown options to enable events. When --topdown is specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel. Add topdown-* as a special case to the event parser, as is needed for all events containing -. The actual code to compute the metrics is in follow-on patches. v2: Use standard sysctl read function. v3: Move x86 specific code to arch/ v4: Enable --metric-only implicitly for topdown. v5: Add --single-thread option to not force per core mode v6: Fix output order of topdown metrics v7: Allow combining with -d v8: Remove --single-thread again v9: Rename functions, adding arch_ and topdown_. v10: Expand man page and describe TopDown better Paste intro into commit description. Print error when malloc fails.

perf stat record: Add record command Add 'perf stat record' command support. It creates simple (header only) perf.data file ATM. The record command could be specified anywhere among stat options.

perf stat: Basic support for TopDown in perf stat Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles idle metrics in standard perf stat output. These metrics are not reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects. This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to --transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters (one fixed counter) The result are four metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level. The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics. This implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is available in pmu-tools toplev. (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools) The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge, and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont. In principle the generic metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs. TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of them): topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery from misspeculation These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation.

perf stat: add perf stat -B to pretty print large numbers It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be changed. Here is an example. $ perf stat noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds Performance counter stats for 'noploop 2': 1998.347031 task-clock-msecs # 0.998 CPUs 61 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 118 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 4,138,410,900 cycles # 2070.917 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 2,062,650,268 instructions # 0.498 IPC (scaled from 70.01%) 2,057,653,466 branches # 1029.678 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 40,267 branch-misses # 0.002 % (scaled from 30.04%) 2,055,961,348 cache-references # 1028.831 M/sec (scaled from 30.03%) 53,725 cache-misses # 0.027 M/sec (scaled from 30.02%) 2.001393933 seconds time elapsed $ perf stat -B noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds Performance counter stats for 'noploop 2': 1998.297883 task-clock-msecs # 0.998 CPUs 59 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 119 page-faults # 0.000 M/sec 4,131,380,160 cycles # 2067.450 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 2,059,096,507 instructions # 0.498 IPC (scaled from 70.01%) 2,054,681,303 branches # 1028.216 M/sec (scaled from 70.01%) 25,650 branch-misses # 0.001 % (scaled from 30.05%) 2,056,283,014 cache-references # 1029.017 M/sec (scaled from 30.03%) 47,097 cache-misses # 0.024 M/sec (scaled from 30.02%) 2.001391016 seconds time elapsed Cc: David S.

perf: Fix endianness argument compatibility with OPT_BOOLEAN() and introduce OPT_INCR() Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool and would therefore print out the usage information and terminate. This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is currently the only such example of this). I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints. The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN. Signed-off-by: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au.ibm.com> Acked-by: David S.

perf stat: Basic support for TopDown in perf stat Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles idle metrics in standard perf stat output. These metrics are not reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects. This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to --transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters (one fixed counter) The result are four metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level. The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics. This implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is available in pmu-tools toplev. (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools) The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge, and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont. In principle the generic metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs. TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of them): topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery from misspeculation These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation. Add a new --topdown options to enable events. When --topdown is specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel. Add topdown-* as a special case to the event parser, as is needed for all events containing -. The actual code to compute the metrics is in follow-on patches. v2: Use standard sysctl read function. v3: Move x86 specific code to arch/ v4: Enable --metric-only implicitly for topdown. v5: Add --single-thread option to not force per core mode v6: Fix output order of topdown metrics v7: Allow combining with -d v8: Remove --single-thread again v9: Rename functions, adding arch_ and topdown_. v10: Expand man page and describe TopDown better Paste intro into commit description.

perf stat: Add support for --initial-delay option When measuring workloads the startup phase -- doing page faults, dynamic linking, opening files -- is often very different from the rest of the workload. Especially with smaller kernels and using counter multiplexing this can give significant measurement errors. Multiplexing assumes that the workload is mostly the same over longer periods. But at startup there is typically some spike of activity which is relatively short. If many groups are multiplexing the one group seeing the spike, and which is then scaled up over the time to run all groups, may see a significant error. Also in general it's often not useful to measure the startup, because it is so different from the rest. One way around this is to use interval mode and discard the first sample, but this can be awkward because interval mode doesn't support intervals of less than 100ms, and also a useful interval is not necessarily the same as a useful startup delay. This patch adds a new --initial-delay / -D option to skip measuring for the startup phase. The time can be specified in ms Here's a simple example: perf stat -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done' ... 3,721 page-faults ... If we just wait 20 ms the number of page faults is 1/3 less: perf stat -D 20 -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done' ... 2,823 page-faults ... So we filtered out most of the startup noise from bash.

tools/perf/stat: Add event unit and scale support This patch adds perf stat support for handling event units and scales as exported by the kernel. The kernel can export PMU events actual unit and scaling factor via sysfs: $ ls -1 /sys/devices/power/events/energy-* /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.scale /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.unit $ cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale 2.3283064365386962890625e-10 $ cat cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit Joules This patch modifies the pmu event alias code to check for the presence of the .unit and .scale files to load the corresponding values. They are then used by perf stat transparently: # perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000 # time counts unit events 1.000214717 3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/ [100.00%] 1.000214717 0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/ 1.000214717 12965028 cycles [100.00%] 2.000749289 3.01 Joules power/energy-pkg/ 2.000749289 0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/ 2.000749289 15817043 cycles When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by the kernel, nothing is printed. In csv output mode, there will be an empty field. Special thanks to Jiri for providing the supporting code in the parser to trigger reading of the scale and unit files.

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line. One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns. Example: % perf stat -a -I 1000 --metric-only 1.001452803 frontend cycles idle insn per cycle stalled cycles per insn branch-misses of all branches 1.001452803 158.91% 0.66 2.39 2.92% 2.002192321 180.63% 0.76 2.08 2.96% 3.003088282 150.59% 0.62 2.57 2.84% 4.004369835 196.20% 0.98 1.62 3.79% 5.005227314 231.98% 0.84 1.90 4.71% v2: Lots of updates. v3: Use slightly narrower columns v4: Add comment Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1457049458-28956-6-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The patch leverages the locale support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be changed.

perf stat: Add no-aggregation mode to -a This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode. Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs. The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when the -C option is used. The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a stray patch in builtin-trace.c.

perf stat: Avoid skew when reading events When we don't have a tracee (i.e. we're attaching to a task or CPU), counters can still be running after our workload finishes, and can still be running as we read their values. As we read events one-by-one, there can be arbitrary skew between values of events, even within a group. This means that ratios within an event group are not reliable. This skew can be seen if measuring a group of identical events, e.g: # perf stat -a -C0 -e '{cycles,cycles}' sleep 1 To avoid this, we must stop groups from counting before we read the values of any constituent events. This patch adds and makes use of a new disable_counters() helper, which disables group leaders (and thus each group as a whole). This mirrors the use of enable_counters() for starting event groups in the absence of a tracee. Closing a group leader splits the group, and without a disabled group leader the newly split events will begin counting. Thus to ensure counts are reliable we must defer closing group leaders until all counts have been read. To do so this patch removes the event closing logic from the read_counters() helper, explicitly closes the events using perf_evlist__close(), which also aids legibility.

perf stat: Add support for --initial-delay option When measuring workloads the startup phase -- doing page faults, dynamic linking, opening files -- is often very different from the rest of the workload. Especially with smaller kernels and using counter multiplexing this can give significant measurement errors. Multiplexing assumes that the workload is mostly the same over longer periods. But at startup there is typically some spike of activity which is relatively short. If many groups are multiplexing the one group seeing the spike, and which is then scaled up over the time to run all groups, may see a significant error. Also in general it's often not useful to measure the startup, because it is so different from the rest. One way around this is to use interval mode and discard the first sample, but this can be awkward because interval mode doesn't support intervals of less than 100ms, and also a useful interval is not necessarily the same as a useful startup delay. This patch adds a new --initial-delay / -D option to skip measuring for the startup phase. The time can be specified in ms Here's a simple example: perf stat -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done' ... 3,721 page-faults ... If we just wait 20 ms the number of page faults is 1/3 less: perf stat -D 20 -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done' ... 2,823 page-faults ... So we filtered out most of the startup noise from bash.

The kernel can export PMU events actual unit and scaling factor via sysfs: $ ls -1 /sys/devices/power/events/energy-* /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.scale /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.unit $ cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale 2.3283064365386962890625e-10 $ cat cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit Joules This patch modifies the pmu event alias code to check for the presence of the .unit and .scale files to load the corresponding values. They are then used by perf stat transparently: # perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000 # time counts unit events 1.000214717 3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/ [100.00%] 1.000214717 0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/ 1.000214717 12965028 cycles [100.00%] 2.000749289 3.01 Joules power/energy-pkg/ 2.000749289 0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/ 2.000749289 15817043 cycles When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by the kernel, nothing is printed. In csv output mode, there will be an empty field. Special thanks to Jiri for providing the supporting code in the parser to trigger reading of the scale and unit files.

perf stat: Add feature to run and measure a command multiple times Add the --repeat <n> feature to perf stat, which repeats a given command up to a 100 times, collects the stats and calculates an average and a stddev. For example, the following oneliner 'perf stat' command runs hackbench 5 times and prints a tabulated result of all metrics, with averages and noise levels (in percentage) printed: aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf stat --repeat 5 ~/hackbench 10 Time: 0.117 Time: 0.108 Time: 0.089 Time: 0.088 Time: 0.100 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench 10' (5 runs): 1243.989586 task-clock-msecs # 10.460 CPUs ( +- 4.720% ) 47706 context-switches # 0.038 M/sec ( +- 19.706% ) 387 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec ( +- 3.608% ) 17793 page-faults # 0.014 M/sec ( +- 0.354% ) 3770941606 cycles # 3031.329 M/sec ( +- 4.621% ) 1566372416 instructions # 0.415 IPC ( +- 2.703% ) 16783421 cache-references # 13.492 M/sec ( +- 5.202% ) 7128590 cache-misses # 5.730 M/sec ( +- 7.420% ) 0.118924455 seconds time elapsed. The goal of this feature is to allow the reliance on these accurate statistics and to know how many times a command has to be repeated for the noise to go down to an acceptable level.

perf_counter tools: Reduce perf stat measurement overhead/skew Vince Weaver reported a 'perf stat' measurement overhead in the count of retired instructions, which can amount to a +6000 instructions inflated count in the reported count. At present, perf stat creates its counters on the perf process. Thus the counters count the fork and various other activity in both the parent and child, such as the resolver overhead for resolving PLT entries for any libc functions that haven't been called before, such as execvp. This reduces the overhead by creating the counters on the child process after the fork, using a couple of pipes to synchronize so that the child process waits until the parent has created the counters before doing the exec. To eliminate the PLT resolution overhead on calling execvp, this does a dummy execvp first which will always fail. With this, the overhead of executing a program goes down from over 4800 instructions to about 90 instructions on powerpc (32-bit). This was measured with a statically-linked program written in assembler which only does the 3 instructions needed to call _exit(0).

perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed events This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch. The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events become members of a single group with the first event as a group leader. With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like: # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults' events, with cycles event as group leader. All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with 4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups. Examples (first event in brackets is group leader): # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults) perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \ -e instructions ls # 1 group # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions) perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \ -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings, for example: # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p' resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier being used for 'cache-references' event.

perf stat record: Add record command Add 'perf stat record' command support. It creates simple (header only) perf.data file ATM. The record command could be specified anywhere among stat options. All stat command options are valid for stat record command with '-o' option exception. If specified for record command it denotes the perf data file name. Committer note: Set sample_type to PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER, which should be harmless while avoiding that older tools show confusing messages, for instance, with sample_type = 0, we get: $ perf stat record usleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1': 0.630237 task-clock (msec) # 0.528 CPUs utilized 1 context-switches # 0.002 M/sec 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec 52 page-faults # 0.083 M/sec 978,312 cycles # 1.552 GHz 671,931 stalled-cycles-frontend # 68.68% frontend cycles idle <not supported> stalled-cycles-backend 646,379 instructions # 0.66 insns per cycle # 1.04 stalled cycles per insn 131,046 branches # 207.931 M/sec 7,073 branch-misses # 5.40% of all branches 0.001193240 seconds time elapsed $ oldperf evlist WARNING: The perf.data file's data size field is 0 which is unexpected.

perf stat: Avoid skew when reading events When we don't have a tracee (i.e. we're attaching to a task or CPU), counters can still be running after our workload finishes, and can still be running as we read their values. As we read events one-by-one, there can be arbitrary skew between values of events, even within a group. This means that ratios within an event group are not reliable. This skew can be seen if measuring a group of identical events, e.g: # perf stat -a -C0 -e '{cycles,cycles}' sleep 1 To avoid this, we must stop groups from counting before we read the values of any constituent events. This patch adds and makes use of a new disable_counters() helper, which disables group leaders (and thus each group as a whole). This mirrors the use of enable_counters() for starting event groups in the absence of a tracee. Closing a group leader splits the group, and without a disabled group leader the newly split events will begin counting. Thus to ensure counts are reliable we must defer closing group leaders until all counts have been read. To do so this patch removes the event closing logic from the read_counters() helper, explicitly closes the events using perf_evlist__close(), which also aids legibility.

perf stat: Add csv-style output This patch adds an option (-x/--field-separator) to print counts using a CSV-style output. The user can pass a custom separator. This makes it very easy to import counts directly into your favorite spreadsheet without having to write scripts. Example: $ perf stat --field-separator=, -a -- sleep 1 4009.961740,task-clock-msecs 13,context-switches 2,CPU-migrations 189,page-faults 9596385684,cycles 3493659441,instructions 872897069,branches 41562,branch-misses 22424,cache-references 1289,cache-misses Works also in non-aggregated mode: $ perf stat -x , -a -A -- sleep 1 CPU0,1002.526168,task-clock-msecs CPU1,1002.528365,task-clock-msecs CPU2,1002.523360,task-clock-msecs CPU3,1002.519878,task-clock-msecs CPU0,1,context-switches CPU1,5,context-switches CPU2,5,context-switches CPU3,6,context-switches CPU0,0,CPU-migrations CPU1,1,CPU-migrations CPU2,0,CPU-migrations CPU3,1,CPU-migrations CPU0,2,page-faults CPU1,6,page-faults CPU2,9,page-faults CPU3,174,page-faults CPU0,2399439771,cycles CPU1,2380369063,cycles CPU2,2399142710,cycles CPU3,2373161192,cycles CPU0,872900618,instructions CPU1,873030960,instructions CPU2,872714525,instructions CPU3,874460580,instructions CPU0,221556839,branches CPU1,218134342,branches CPU2,218161730,branches CPU3,218284093,branches CPU0,18556,branch-misses CPU1,1449,branch-misses CPU2,3447,branch-misses CPU3,12714,branch-misses CPU0,8330,cache-references CPU1,313844,cache-references CPU2,47993728,cache-references CPU3,826481,cache-references CPU0,272,cache-misses CPU1,5360,cache-misses CPU2,1342193,cache-misses CPU3,13992,cache-misses This second version adds the ability to name a separator and uses field-separator as the long option to be consistent with perf report. Commiter note: Since we enabled --big-num by default in 201e0b0 and -x can't be used with it, we need to notice if the user explicitely enabled or disabled -B, add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when -x is used.

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line. One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns.

perf stat: Add feature to run and measure a command multiple times Add the --repeat <n> feature to perf stat, which repeats a given command up to a 100 times, collects the stats and calculates an average and a stddev. For example, the following oneliner 'perf stat' command runs hackbench 5 times and prints a tabulated result of all metrics, with averages and noise levels (in percentage) printed: aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf stat --repeat 5 ~/hackbench 10 Time: 0.117 Time: 0.108 Time: 0.089 Time: 0.088 Time: 0.100 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench 10' (5 runs): 1243.989586 task-clock-msecs # 10.460 CPUs ( +- 4.720% ) 47706 context-switches # 0.038 M/sec ( +- 19.706% ) 387 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec ( +- 3.608% ) 17793 page-faults # 0.014 M/sec ( +- 0.354% ) 3770941606 cycles # 3031.329 M/sec ( +- 4.621% ) 1566372416 instructions # 0.415 IPC ( +- 2.703% ) 16783421 cache-references # 13.492 M/sec ( +- 5.202% ) 7128590 cache-misses # 5.730 M/sec ( +- 7.420% ) 0.118924455 seconds time elapsed. The goal of this feature is to allow the reliance on these accurate statistics and to know how many times a command has to be repeated for the noise to go down to an acceptable level.

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line. One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns.

perf stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for "MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total ticks. Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel. We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported. Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on the cpu and context. Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser added earlier to evaluate the expression. Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for --metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the original event as description. There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user. % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' 1.000147889 800,085,181 unc_p_clockticks 1.000147889 93,126,241 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 11.6 2.000448381 800,218,217 unc_p_clockticks 2.000448381 142,516,095 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 17.8 3.000639852 800,243,057 unc_p_clockticks 3.000639852 162,292,689 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 20.3 % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' --metric-only # time freq_max_os_cycles % 1.000127077 0.9 2.000301436 0.7 3.000456379 0.0 v2: Change from DivideBy to MetricExpr v3: Use expr__ prefix.

tools/perf/stat: Add event unit and scale support This patch adds perf stat support for handling event units and scales as exported by the kernel. The kernel can export PMU events actual unit and scaling factor via sysfs: $ ls -1 /sys/devices/power/events/energy-* /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.scale /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.unit $ cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale 2.3283064365386962890625e-10 $ cat cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit Joules This patch modifies the pmu event alias code to check for the presence of the .unit and .scale files to load the corresponding values. They are then used by perf stat transparently: # perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000 # time counts unit events 1.000214717 3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/ [100.00%] 1.000214717 0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/ 1.000214717 12965028 cycles [100.00%] 2.000749289 3.01 Joules power/energy-pkg/ 2.000749289 0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/ 2.000749289 15817043 cycles When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by the kernel, nothing is printed. In csv output mode, there will be an empty field. Special thanks to Jiri for providing the supporting code in the parser to trigger reading of the scale and unit files.

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line. One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns.

One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns.

perf stat: Add no-aggregation mode to -a This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode. Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs. The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when the -C option is used. The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a stray patch in builtin-trace.c.

They are then used by perf stat transparently: # perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000 # time counts unit events 1.000214717 3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/ [100.00%] 1.000214717 0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/ 1.000214717 12965028 cycles [100.00%] 2.000749289 3.01 Joules power/energy-pkg/ 2.000749289 0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/ 2.000749289 15817043 cycles When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by the kernel, nothing is printed.

When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat output difficult to read.

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line.

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line.

perf stat: Add feature to run and measure a command multiple times Add the --repeat <n> feature to perf stat, which repeats a given command up to a 100 times, collects the stats and calculates an average and a stddev. For example, the following oneliner 'perf stat' command runs hackbench 5 times and prints a tabulated result of all metrics, with averages and noise levels (in percentage) printed: aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf stat --repeat 5 ~/hackbench 10 Time: 0.117 Time: 0.108 Time: 0.089 Time: 0.088 Time: 0.100 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench 10' (5 runs): 1243.989586 task-clock-msecs # 10.460 CPUs ( +- 4.720% ) 47706 context-switches # 0.038 M/sec ( +- 19.706% ) 387 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec ( +- 3.608% ) 17793 page-faults # 0.014 M/sec ( +- 0.354% ) 3770941606 cycles # 3031.329 M/sec ( +- 4.621% ) 1566372416 instructions # 0.415 IPC ( +- 2.703% ) 16783421 cache-references # 13.492 M/sec ( +- 5.202% ) 7128590 cache-misses # 5.730 M/sec ( +- 7.420% ) 0.118924455 seconds time elapsed. The goal of this feature is to allow the reliance on these accurate statistics and to know how many times a command has to be repeated for the noise to go down to an acceptable level.

perf stat: Add no-aggregation mode to -a This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode. Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs. The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when the -C option is used. The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a stray patch in builtin-trace.c.

perf stat: Collapse identically named events The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems. When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat output difficult to read. Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified. This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

perf stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for "MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total ticks. Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel. We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported. Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on the cpu and context. Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser added earlier to evaluate the expression. Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for --metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the original event as description. There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user. % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' 1.000147889 800,085,181 unc_p_clockticks 1.000147889 93,126,241 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 11.6 2.000448381 800,218,217 unc_p_clockticks 2.000448381 142,516,095 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 17.8 3.000639852 800,243,057 unc_p_clockticks 3.000639852 162,292,689 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 20.3 % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' --metric-only # time freq_max_os_cycles % 1.000127077 0.9 2.000301436 0.7 3.000456379 0.0 v2: Change from DivideBy to MetricExpr v3: Use expr__ prefix.

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line. One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns.

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line. One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns. Example: % perf stat -a -I 1000 --metric-only 1.001452803 frontend cycles idle insn per cycle stalled cycles per insn branch-misses of all branches 1.001452803 158.91% 0.66 2.39 2.92% 2.002192321 180.63% 0.76 2.08 2.96% 3.003088282 150.59% 0.62 2.57 2.84% 4.004369835 196.20% 0.98 1.62 3.79% 5.005227314 231.98% 0.84 1.90 4.71% v2: Lots of updates. v3: Use slightly narrower columns v4: Add comment Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1457049458-28956-6-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf stat: Add no-aggregation mode to -a This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode. Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs. The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when the -C option is used. The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a stray patch in builtin-trace.c.

perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused.

Commiter note: Since we enabled --big-num by default in 201e0b0 and -x can't be used with it, we need to notice if the user explicitely enabled or disabled -B, add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when -x is used.

These metrics are not reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects. This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to --transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters (one fixed counter) The result are four metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level.

A full implementation of top down on top of perf is available in pmu-tools toplev. (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools) The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge, and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont. In principle the generic metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs.

When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat output difficult to read.

perf stat: Basic support for TopDown in perf stat Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles idle metrics in standard perf stat output. These metrics are not reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects. This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to --transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters (one fixed counter) The result are four metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level. The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics. This implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is available in pmu-tools toplev. (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools) The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge, and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont. In principle the generic metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs. TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of them): topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery from misspeculation These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics: FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation. Add a new --topdown options to enable events. When --topdown is specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel.

perf stat: Use cpu-clock event for cpu targets Currently 'perf stat' always counts task-clock event by default. But it's somewhat confusing for system-wide targets (especially with 'sleep N' as the 'sleep' task just sleeps and doesn't use cputime). Changing to cpu-clock event instead for that case makes more sense IMHO.

perf stat: Initialize default events wrt exclude_{guest,host} When no event is specified the tools use perf_evlist__add_default(), that will call event_attr_init to initialize the KVM exclusion bits. When the change was made to the tools so that by default guest samples would be excluded, the changes were made just to the parsing routines and to perf_evlist__add_default(), not to perf_evlist__add_attrs, that is used so far just by perf stat to add multiple events, according to the level of detail specified. Recently the tools were changed to reconstruct the event name from all the details in perf_event_attr, not just from .type and .config, but taking into account all the feature bits (.exclude_{guest,host,user,kernel,etc}, .precise_ip, etc).

perf stat: Initialize default events wrt exclude_{guest,host} When no event is specified the tools use perf_evlist__add_default(), that will call event_attr_init to initialize the KVM exclusion bits. When the change was made to the tools so that by default guest samples would be excluded, the changes were made just to the parsing routines and to perf_evlist__add_default(), not to perf_evlist__add_attrs, that is used so far just by perf stat to add multiple events, according to the level of detail specified. Recently the tools were changed to reconstruct the event name from all the details in perf_event_attr, not just from .type and .config, but taking into account all the feature bits (.exclude_{guest,host,user,kernel,etc}, .precise_ip, etc). That is when we noticed that the default for perf stat wasn't the one for the rest of the tools, i.e. the .exclude_guest bit wasn't being set.

perf stat: Add feature to run and measure a command multiple times Add the --repeat <n> feature to perf stat, which repeats a given command up to a 100 times, collects the stats and calculates an average and a stddev. For example, the following oneliner 'perf stat' command runs hackbench 5 times and prints a tabulated result of all metrics, with averages and noise levels (in percentage) printed: aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf stat --repeat 5 ~/hackbench 10 Time: 0.117 Time: 0.108 Time: 0.089 Time: 0.088 Time: 0.100 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench 10' (5 runs): 1243.989586 task-clock-msecs # 10.460 CPUs ( +- 4.720% ) 47706 context-switches # 0.038 M/sec ( +- 19.706% ) 387 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec ( +- 3.608% ) 17793 page-faults # 0.014 M/sec ( +- 0.354% ) 3770941606 cycles # 3031.329 M/sec ( +- 4.621% ) 1566372416 instructions # 0.415 IPC ( +- 2.703% ) 16783421 cache-references # 13.492 M/sec ( +- 5.202% ) 7128590 cache-misses # 5.730 M/sec ( +- 7.420% ) 0.118924455 seconds time elapsed.

perf stat: add perf stat -B to pretty print large numbers It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be changed.

perf stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for "MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total ticks. Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel. We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported. Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on the cpu and context. Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser added earlier to evaluate the expression. Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for --metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the original event as description. There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user. % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' 1.000147889 800,085,181 unc_p_clockticks 1.000147889 93,126,241 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 11.6 2.000448381 800,218,217 unc_p_clockticks 2.000448381 142,516,095 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 17.8 3.000639852 800,243,057 unc_p_clockticks 3.000639852 162,292,689 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 20.3 % perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' --metric-only # time freq_max_os_cycles % 1.000127077 0.9 2.000301436 0.7 3.000456379 0.0 v2: Change from DivideBy to MetricExpr v3: Use expr__ prefix.

perf stat record: Add record command Add 'perf stat record' command support. It creates simple (header only) perf.data file ATM. The record command could be specified anywhere among stat options.

perf stat: Implement --metric-only mode Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also allows easier plotting and processing with other tools. The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported. To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual values. There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle all metrics being on a single line. One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in some cases. The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns. Example: % perf stat -a -I 1000 --metric-only 1.001452803 frontend cycles idle insn per cycle stalled cycles per insn branch-misses of all branches 1.001452803 158.91% 0.66 2.39 2.92% 2.002192321 180.63% 0.76 2.08 2.96% 3.003088282 150.59% 0.62 2.57 2.84% 4.004369835 196.20% 0.98 1.62 3.79% 5.005227314 231.98% 0.84 1.90 4.71% v2: Lots of updates. v3: Use slightly narrower columns v4: Add comment Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1457049458-28956-6-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf stat: Reduce min --interval-print to 10ms The --interval-print parameter was limited to 100ms. However, for example, 10ms is required to do sophisticated bandwidth analysis using uncore events. The test shows that the overhead of the system-wide uncore monitoring with 10ms interval is only ~2%. So this patch reduces the minimal interval-print allowd to 10ms. But 10ms may not work well for all cases. For example, when the cpus/threads number is very large, for system-wide core event monitoring the overhead could be high. To handle this issue, a warning will be displayed when the interval-print is set between 10ms to 100ms. So users can make a decision according to their specific cases. # perf stat -e uncore_imc_1/cas_count_read/ -a --interval-print 10 -- sleep 1 print interval < 100ms.

perf stat: Add feature to run and measure a command multiple times Add the --repeat <n> feature to perf stat, which repeats a given command up to a 100 times, collects the stats and calculates an average and a stddev. For example, the following oneliner 'perf stat' command runs hackbench 5 times and prints a tabulated result of all metrics, with averages and noise levels (in percentage) printed: aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf stat --repeat 5 ~/hackbench 10 Time: 0.117 Time: 0.108 Time: 0.089 Time: 0.088 Time: 0.100 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench 10' (5 runs): 1243.989586 task-clock-msecs # 10.460 CPUs ( +- 4.720% ) 47706 context-switches # 0.038 M/sec ( +- 19.706% ) 387 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec ( +- 3.608% ) 17793 page-faults # 0.014 M/sec ( +- 0.354% ) 3770941606 cycles # 3031.329 M/sec ( +- 4.621% ) 1566372416 instructions # 0.415 IPC ( +- 2.703% ) 16783421 cache-references # 13.492 M/sec ( +- 5.202% ) 7128590 cache-misses # 5.730 M/sec ( +- 7.420% ) 0.118924455 seconds time elapsed. The goal of this feature is to allow the reliance on these accurate statistics and to know how many times a command has to be repeated for the noise to go down to an acceptable level. (The -v option can be used to see a line printed out as each run progresses.)
