perf tools: Allow creation of cgroup without open

2020-09-28T12:18:06Z

This is a preparation for a test case of expanding events for multiple cgroups. Instead of using real system cgroup, the test will use fake cgroups so it needs a way to have them without a open file descriptor.

perf tools: Copy metric events properly when expand cgroups

2020-09-28T12:16:21Z

The metricgroup__copy_metric_events() is to handle metrics events when expanding event for cgroups. As the metric events keep pointers to evsel, it should be refreshed when events are cloned during the operation. The perf_stat__collect_metric_expr() is also called in case an event has a metric directly. During the copy, it references evsel by index as the evlist now has cloned evsels for the given cgroup. Also kernel test robot found an issue in the python module import so add empty implementations of those two functions to fix it.

perf stat: Add --for-each-cgroup option

2020-09-28T12:07:08Z

The --for-each-cgroup option is a syntax sugar to monitor large number of cgroups easily. Current command line requires to list all the events and cgroups even if users want to monitor same events for each cgroup. This patch addresses that usage by copying given events for each cgroup on user's behalf. For instance, if they want to monitor 6 events for 200 cgroups each they should write 1200 event names (with -e) AND 1200 cgroup names (with -G) on the command line. But with this change, they can just specify 6 events and 200 cgroups with a new option. A simpler example below: It wants to measure 3 events for 2 cgroups ('A' and 'B'). The result is that total 6 events are counted like below. $ perf stat -a -e cpu-clock,cycles,instructions --for-each-cgroup A,B sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 988.18 msec cpu-clock A # 0.987 CPUs utilized 3,153,761,702 cycles A # 3.200 GHz (100.00%) 8,067,769,847 instructions A # 2.57 insn per cycle (100.00%) 982.71 msec cpu-clock B # 0.982 CPUs utilized 3,136,093,298 cycles B # 3.182 GHz (99.99%) 8,109,619,327 instructions B # 2.58 insn per cycle (99.99%) 1.001228054 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200924124455.336326-3-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf stat: Skip duration_time in setup_system_wide

2020-09-23T15:58:53Z

Some metrics (such as DRAM_BW_Use) consists of uncore events and duration_time. For uncore events, counter->core.system_wide is true. But for duration_time, counter->core.system_wide is false so target.system_wide is set to false. Then 'enable_on_exec' is set in perf_event_attr of uncore event. Kernel will return error when trying to open the uncore event. This patch skips the duration_time in setup_system_wide then target.system_wide will be set to true for the evlist of uncore events + duration_time. Before (tested on skylake desktop): # perf stat -M DRAM_BW_Use -- sleep 1 Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

perf stat: Support new per thread TopDown metrics

2020-09-17T18:48:08Z

Icelake has support for reporting per thread TopDown metrics. These are reported differently than the previous TopDown support, each metric is standalone, but scaled to pipeline "slots". We don't need to do anything special for HyperThreading anymore. Teach perf stat --topdown to handle these new metrics and print them in the same way as the previous TopDown metrics. The restrictions of only being able to report information per core is gone.

perf tools: Rename group to topdown

2020-09-17T18:47:55Z

The group.h/c only include TopDown group related functions. The name "group" is too generic and inaccurate. Use the name "topdown" to replace it. Move topdown related functions to a dedicated file, topdown.c.

perf record: Add 'snapshot' control command

Add 'snapshot' control command to create an AUX area tracing snapshot the same as if sending SIGUSR2. The advantage of the FIFO is that access is governed by access to the FIFO.
