perf stat: Move metric list from config to evlist

2025-07-11T19:36:40Z

The rblist of metric_event that then have a list of associated metric_expr is moved out of the stat_config and into the evlist. This is done as part of refactoring things for python, having the state split in two places complicates that implementation. The evlist is doing the harder work of enabling and disabling events, the metrics are needed to compute a value and it doesn't seem unreasonable to hang them from the evlist.

perf metricgroup: Binary search when resolving referred to metrics

2025-05-13T19:36:51Z

Unlike with events, metrics can be matched by name or a list of metric groups. However, when a metric refers to another metric it isn't referring to a group but the singular metric in question. Prior to this change every "id" in a metric expression is checked to see if it is a metric by scanning all the metrics in the metrics table. As the table is sorted my metric name we can speed the search in the resolution case by binary searching for the metric. Rename some of the metricgroup functions to make it clearer whether they match a metric by name or by both name and group.

perf stat: Add new field in stat_config to enable hardware aware grouping

perf metrics: Sort the Default metricgroup

2023-06-16T12:56:36Z

The new default mode will print the metrics as a metric group. The metrics from the same metric group must be adjacent to each other in the metric list. But the metric_list_cmp() sorts metrics by the number of events. Add a new sort for the Default metricgroup, which sorts by default_metricgroup_name and metric_name. Add is_default in the struct metric_event to indicate that it's from the Default metricgroup. Store the displayed metricgroup name of the Default metricgroup into the metric expr for output.

perf metrics: Be PMU specific for referenced metrics.

2023-05-15T12:12:14Z

Hybrid systems may define the same metric for different PMUs, this can cause confusion of events. To avoid this make the referenced metric searches PMU specific, matching that in the table.

perf stat: Implement --topdown using json metrics

2023-02-19T11:07:24Z

Request the topdown metric group of a level with the metrics in the group 'TopdownL' rather than through specific events. As more topdown levels are supported this way, such as 6 on Intel Ice Lake, default to just showing the level 1 metrics. This can be overridden using '--td-level'. Rather than determine the maximum topdown level from sysfs, use the metric group names. Remove some now unused topdown code.

perf metric: Add --metric-no-threshold option

Thresholds may need additional events, this can impact things like sharing groups of events to avoid multiplexing. Add a flag to make the threshold calculations optional. The threshold will still be computed if no additional events are necessary.
