perf stat: Reset previous counts on repeat with interval

2019-10-17T20:42:17Z

[ Upstream commit b63fd11cced17fcb8e133def29001b0f6aaa5e06 ] When using 'perf stat' with repeat and interval option, it shows wrong values for events. The wrong values will be shown for the first interval on the second and subsequent repetitions. Without the fix: # perf stat -r 3 -I 2000 -e faults -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 5 2.000282489 53 faults 2.000282489 513 sched:sched_switch 4.005478208 3,721 faults 4.005478208 2,666 sched:sched_switch 5.025470933 395 faults 5.025470933 1,307 sched:sched_switch 2.009602825 1,84,46,74,40,73,70,95,47,520 faults <------ 2.009602825 1,84,46,74,40,73,70,95,49,568 sched:sched_switch <------ 4.019612206 4,730 faults 4.019612206 2,746 sched:sched_switch 5.039615484 3,953 faults 5.039615484 1,496 sched:sched_switch 2.000274620 1,84,46,74,40,73,70,95,47,520 faults <------ 2.000274620 1,84,46,74,40,73,70,95,47,520 sched:sched_switch <------ 4.000480342 4,282 faults 4.000480342 2,303 sched:sched_switch 5.000916811 1,322 faults 5.000916811 1,064 sched:sched_switch # prev_raw_counts is allocated when using intervals. This is used when calculating the difference in the counts of events when using interval. The current counts are stored in prev_raw_counts to calculate the differences in the next iteration. On the first interval of the second and subsequent repetitions, prev_raw_counts would be the values stored in the last interval of the previous repetitions, while the current counts will only be for the first interval of the current repetition. Hence there is a possibility of events showing up as big number. Fix this by resetting prev_raw_counts whenever perf stat repeats the command. With the fix: # perf stat -r 3 -I 2000 -e faults -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 5 2.019349347 2,597 faults 2.019349347 2,753 sched:sched_switch 4.019577372 3,098 faults 4.019577372 2,532 sched:sched_switch 5.019415481 1,879 faults 5.019415481 1,356 sched:sched_switch 2.000178813 8,468 faults 2.000178813 2,254 sched:sched_switch 4.000404621 7,440 faults 4.000404621 1,266 sched:sched_switch 5.040196079 2,458 faults 5.040196079 556 sched:sched_switch 2.000191939 6,870 faults 2.000191939 1,170 sched:sched_switch 4.000414103 541 faults 4.000414103 902 sched:sched_switch 5.000809863 450 faults 5.000809863 364 sched:sched_switch # Committer notes: This was broken since the cset introducing the --interval feature, i.e. --repeat + --interval wasn't tested at that point, add the Fixes tag so that automatic scripts can pick this up.

perf stat: Add computation of TopDown formulas

2016-06-06T20:04:16Z

Implement the TopDown formulas in 'perf stat'. The topdown basic metrics reported by the kernel are collected, and the formulas are computed and output as normal metrics. See the kernel commit exporting the events for details on the used metrics. Committer note: Output example: # perf stat --topdown -a usleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': retiring bad speculation frontend bound backend bound S0-C0 2 23.8% 11.6% 28.3% 36.3% S0-C1 2 16.2% 15.7% 36.5% 31.6% 0.000579956 seconds time elapsed # v2: Always print all metrics, only use thresholds for coloring. v3: Mark retiring over threshold green, not red. v4: Only print one decimal digit Fix color printing of one metric v5: Avoid printing -0.0 v6: Remove extra frontend event lookup Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1464119559-17203-2-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf stat: Check for frontend stalled for metrics

perf stat: Abstract stat metrics printing

2016-02-16T20:13:00Z

Abstract the printing of shadow metrics. Instead of every metric calling fprintf directly and taking care of indentation, use two call backs: one to print metrics and another to start a new line. This will allow adding metrics to CSV mode and also using them for other purposes. The computation of padding is now done in the central callback, instead of every metric doing it manually. This makes it easier to add new metrics. v2: Refactor functions, printout now does more. Move shadow printing. Improve fallback callbacks. Don't use void * callback data. v3: Remove unnecessary hunk. Add typedef for new_line v4: Remove unnecessary hunk. Don't print metrics for CSV/interval mode yet. Move printout change to separate patch. v5: Fix bisect bugs. Avoid bogus frontend cycles printing. Fix indentation in different aggregation modes. v6: Delay newline handling Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1454173616-17710-2-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf stat: Making several helper functions static

perf stat: Move perf_counts struct and functions into separate object

2015-08-08T17:16:49Z

Moving 'struct perf_counts' and associated functions into separate object, so we could remove stat.c object dependency from python build. It makes the python code to build properly, because it fails to load due to missing stat-shadow.c object dependency if some patches from Kan Liang are applied. So apply this one, then Kan's.
