Adrian Hunter a8fcbd269b perf tools: Add FIFO file names as alternative options to --control
Enable the --control option to accept file names as an alternative to
file descriptors.

Example:

  $ mkfifo perf.control
  $ mkfifo perf.ack
  $ cat perf.ack &
  [1] 6808
  $ perf record --control fifo:perf.control,perf.ack -- sleep 300 &
  [2] 6810
  $ echo disable > perf.control
  $ Events disabled
  ack

  $ echo enable > perf.control
  $ Events enabled
  ack

  $ echo disable > perf.control
  $ Events disabled
  ack

  $ kill %2
  [ perf record: Woken up 4 times to write data ]
  $ [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]

  [1]-  Done                    cat perf.ack
  [2]+  Terminated              perf record --control fifo:perf.control,perf.ack -- sleep 300
  $

Kim Phillips e48a73a312 perf record/stat: Explicitly call out event modifiers in the documentation
Event modifiers are not mentioned in the perf record or perf stat
manpages.  Add them to orient new users more effectively by pointing
them to the perf list manpage for details.

Jin Yao ee6a961432 perf stat: Turn off summary for interval mode by default
There's a risk that outputting interval mode summaries by default breaks
CSV consumers. It already broke pmu-tools/toplev.

So now we turn off the summary by default but we create a new option
'--summary' to enable the summary. This is active even when not using
CSV mode.

Stephane Eranian 7094349078 perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4
This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.

With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:

  $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....

One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.

Ian Rogers 05530a7921 perf metricgroup: Add options to not group or merge
Add --metric-no-group that causes all events within metrics to not be
grouped. This can allow the event to get more time when multiplexed, but
may also lower accuracy.
Add --metric-no-merge option. By default events in different metrics may
be shared if the group of events for one metric is the same or larger
than that of the second. Sharing may increase or lower accuracy and so
is now configurable.

Add support for new "stat.big-num" boolean option.

This allows a user to set a default for "--no-big-num" for "perf stat"
commands.

--
  $ perf config stat.big-num
  $ perf stat --event cycles /bin/true

   Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

             778,849      cycles
  [...]
  $ perf config stat.big-num=false
  $ perf config stat.big-num
  stat.big-num=false
  $ perf stat --event cycles /bin/true

   Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

              769622      cycles
  [...]
--

There is an interaction with "--field-separator" that must be
accommodated, such that specifying "--big-num --field-separator={x}"
still reports an invalid combination of options.

Documentation for perf-config and perf-stat updated.

Jin Yao 197ba86fdc perf stat: Improve runtime stat for interval mode
For interval mode, the metric is printed after the '#' character if it
exists. But it's not calculated by the counts generated in this
interval.

See the following examples:

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000422803            764,809      inst_retired.any          #      2.9 CPI
       1.000422803          2,234,932      cycles
       2.001464585          1,960,061      inst_retired.any          #      1.6 CPI
       2.001464585          4,022,591      cycles

The second CPI should not be 1.6 (4,022,591/1,960,061 is 2.1)

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000429493          2,869,311      cycles
       1.000429493            816,875      instructions              #    0.28  insn per cycle
       2.001516426          9,260,973      cycles
       2.001516426          5,250,634      instructions              #    0.87  insn per cycle

The second 'insn per cycle' should not be 0.87 (5,250,634/9,260,973 is
0.57).

The current code uses a global variable 'rt_stat' for tracking and
updating the std dev of runtime stat. Unlike the counts, 'rt_stat' is not
reset for interval. While the counts are reset for interval.

  perf_stat_process_counter()
  {
          if (config->interval)
                  init_stats(ps->res_stats);
  }

So for interval mode, the 'rt_stat' variable should be reset too.

This patch resets 'rt_stat' before read_counters(), so the runtime stat
is only calculated by the counts generated in this interval.

With this patch:

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000420924          2,408,818      inst_retired.any          #      2.1 CPI
       1.000420924          5,010,111      cycles
       2.001448579          2,798,407      inst_retired.any          #      1.6 CPI
       2.001448579          4,599,861      cycles

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
  #           time             counts unit events
       1.000428555          2,769,714      cycles
       1.000428555            774,462      instructions              #    0.28  insn per cycle
       2.001471562          3,595,904      cycles
       2.001471562          1,243,703      instructions              #    0.35  insn per cycle

Now the second 'insn per cycle' and CPI are calculated by the counts
generated in this interval.

Jin Yao 1af62ce61c perf stat: Show percore counts in per CPU output
We have supported the event modifier "percore" which sums up the event
counts for all hardware threads in a core and show the counts per core.

For example,

 # perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A -- sleep 1

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

 S0-D0-C0                395,072      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
 S0-D0-C1                851,248      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
 S0-D0-C2                954,226      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
 S0-D0-C3              1,233,659      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/

This patch provides a new option "--percore-show-thread". It is used
with event modifier "percore" together to sum up the event counts for
all hardware threads in a core but show the counts per hardware thread.

This is essentially a replacement for the any bit (which is gone in
Icelake). Per core counts are useful for some formulas, e.g. CoreIPC.
The original percore version was inconvenient to post process. This
variant matches the output of the any bit.

With this patch, for example,

 # perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A --percore-show-thread  -- sleep 1

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

 CPU0               2,453,061      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
 CPU1               1,823,921      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
 CPU2               1,383,166      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
 CPU3               1,102,652      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
 CPU4               2,453,061      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
 CPU5               1,823,921      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
 CPU6               1,383,166      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
 CPU7               1,102,652      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/

We can see counts are duplicated in CPU pairs (CPU0/CPU4, CPU1/CPU5,
CPU2/CPU6, CPU3/CPU7).

The interval mode also works. For example,

 # perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A --percore-show-thread  -I 1000
 #           time CPU                    counts unit events
      1.000425421 CPU0                 925,032      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
      1.000425421 CPU1                 430,202      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
      1.000425421 CPU2                 436,843      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
      1.000425421 CPU3               1,192,504      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
      1.000425421 CPU4                 925,032      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
      1.000425421 CPU5                 430,202      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
      1.000425421 CPU6                 436,843      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
      1.000425421 CPU7               1,192,504      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/

If we offline CPU5, the result is:

 # perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A --percore-show-thread -- sleep 1

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

 CPU0               2,752,148      cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/

 v4:
 ---
 Ravi Bangoria reports an issue in v3. Once we offline a CPU,
 the output is not correct. The issue is we should use the cpu
 idx in print_percore_thread rather than using the cpu value.

 v3:
 ---
 1. Fix the interval mode output error
 2. Use cpu value (not cpu index) in config->aggr_get_id().
 3. Refine the code according to Jiri's comments.

 v2:
 ---
 Add the explanation in change log. This is essentially a replacement
 for the any bit. No code change.

'perf record' has supported --all-kernel / --all-user to configure all
used events to run in kernel space or run in user space. But 'perf stat'

It would be useful to support these options in 'perf stat' too to keep

Kan Liang db5742b684 perf stat: Support per-die aggregation
It is useful to aggregate counts per die. E.g. Uncore becomes die-scope
on Xeon Cascade Lake-AP.

Introduce a new option "--per-die" to support per-die aggregation.

The global id for each core has been changed to socket + die id + core
id. The global id for each die is socket + die id.

Add die information for per-core aggregation. The output of per-core
aggregation will be changed from "S0-C0" to "S0-D0-C0". Any scripts
which rely on the output format of per-core aggregation probably be
broken.

For 'perf stat record/report', there is no die information when
processing the old perf.data. The per-die result will be the same as
per-socket.

Committer notes:

Renamed 'die' variable to 'die_id' to fix the build in some systems:

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/builtin-script.o
  cc1: warnings being treated as errors

Jin Yao 4fc4d8dfa0 perf stat: Support 'percore' event qualifier
With this patch, we can use the 'percore' event qualifier in perf-stat.

  root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ -a -A -I1000
    1.000773050 S0-C0   98,352,832 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/  (50.01%)

    1.000773050 S0-C2  196,776,995 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/  (50.02%)
    1.000773050 S0-C3  176,493,779 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/  (50.02%)
    1.000773050 CPU0    47,699,641 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (50.02%)
    1.000773050 CPU1    49,052,451 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU2   102,771,422 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU3   100,784,662 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU4    43,171,342 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU5    54,152,158 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU6    93,618,410 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU7    74,477,589 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.99%)

In this example, we count the event 'ref-cycles' per-core and per-CPU in
one perf stat command-line. From the output, we can see:

  S0-C0 = CPU0 + CPU4
  S0-C1 = CPU1 + CPU5
  S0-C2 = CPU2 + CPU6
  S0-C3 = CPU3 + CPU7

So the result is expected (tiny difference is ignored).

Note that, the 'percore' event qualifier needs to use with option '-A'.

Andi Kleen 75998bb263 perf stat: Fix --no-scale
The -c option to enable multiplex scaling has been useless for quite
some time because scaling is default.

It's only useful as --no-scale to disable scaling. But the non scaling
code path has bitrotted and doesn't print anything because perf output
code relies on value run/ena information.

Also even when we don't want to scale a value it's still useful to show
its multiplex percentage.

This patch:
  - Fixes help and documentation to show --no-scale instead of -c
  - Removes -c, only keeps the long option because -c doesn't support negatives.
  - Enables running/enabled even with --no-scale
  - And fixes some other problems in the no-scale output.

Before:

  $ perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

       <not counted>      cycles

         0.000984154 seconds time elapsed

After:

  $ ./perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

             706,070      cycles

         0.001219821 seconds time elapsed

Ingo Molnar 1a7ea3283f perf tools Documentation: Fix diverse typos
Go over the tools/ files that are maintained in Arnaldo's tree and
fix common typos: half of them were in comments, the other half
in JSON files.

No change in functionality intended.

Committer notes:

This was split from a larger patch as there are code that is,
additionally, maintained outside the kernel tree, so to ease cherry
picking and/or backporting, split this into multiple patches.

In this particular case, it affects documentation, so may be interesting
to cherry pick as it is information that is presented to the user.

Jiri Olsa 0ce2da1483 perf stat: Display user and system time
Adding the support to read rusage data once the workload is finished and
display the system/user time values:

  $ perf stat --null perf bench sched pipe
  ...

   Performance counter stats for 'perf bench sched pipe':

       5.342599256 seconds time elapsed

       2.544434000 seconds user
       4.549691000 seconds sys

It works only in non -r mode and only for workload target.

So as of now, for workload targets, we display 3 types of timings. The
time we meassure in perf stat from enable to disable+period:

       5.342599256 seconds time elapsed

The time spent in user and system lands, displayed only for workload
session/target:

       2.544434000 seconds user
       4.549691000 seconds sys

Those times are the very same displayed by 'time' tool.  They are
returned by wait4 call via the getrusage struct interface.

Committer notes:

Had to rename some variables to avoid this on older systems such as

Alexey Budankov 9dc9a95f03 perf stat: Enable 1ms interval for printing event counters values
Currently print count interval for performance counters values is
limited by 10ms so reading the values at frequencies higher than 100Hz
is restricted by the tool.

This change makes perf stat -I possible on frequencies up to 1KHz and,
to some extent, makes perf stat -I to be on-par with perf record
sampling profiling.

When running perf stat -I for monitoring e.g. PCIe uncore counters and
at the same time profiling some I/O workload by perf record e.g. for
cpu-cycles and context switches, it is then possible to observe
consolidated CPU/OS/IO(Uncore) performance picture for that workload.

Tool overhead warning printed when specifying -v option can be missed
due to screen scrolling in case you have output to the console
so message is moved into help available by running perf stat -h.

Agustin Vega-Frias c199c11dce perf pmu: Auto-merge PMU events created by prefix or glob match
Auto-merge for these events was disabled when auto-merging of non-alias
events was disabled in commit 63ce844 (perf stat: Only auto-merge events
that are PMU aliases).

Non-merging of legacy events is preserved:

    $ perf stat -ag -e cache-misses,cache-misses sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                86,323      cache-misses
                86,323      cache-misses

           1.002623307 seconds time elapsed

But prefix or glob matching auto-merges the events created:

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                   328      l3cache/read-miss/

           1.002627008 seconds time elapsed

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_[01]/read-miss/ sleep 1

                   172      l3cache/read-miss/

           1.002627008 seconds time elapsed

As with events created with aliases, auto-merging can be suppressed with
the --no-merge option:

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    67      l3cache/read-miss/

Agustin Vega-Frias b2b9d3a3f0 perf pmu: Support wildcards on pmu name in dynamic pmu events
Starting on v4.12 event parsing code for dynamic pmu events already
supports prefix-based matching of multiple pmus when creating dynamic
events. E.g., in a system with the following dynamic pmus:

    mypmu_0
    mypmu_1
    mypmu_2
    mypmu_4

passing mypmu/<config>/ as an event spec will result in the creation of
the event in all of the pmus. This change expands this matching through
the use of fnmatch so glob-like expressions can be used to create events
in multiple pmus. E.g., in the system described above if a user only
wants to create the event in mypmu_0 and mypmu_1, mypmu_[01]/<config>/
can be passed.

weiping zhang 25f72f9ed8 perf cgroup: Simplify arguments when tracking multiple events
When using -G with one cgroup and -e with multiple events, only the
first event gets the correct cgroup setting, all events from the second
onwards will track system-wide events.

If the user wants to track multiple events for a specific cgroup, the
user must give parameters like the following:

  $ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test,test,test

This patch simplify this case, just type one cgroup:

  $ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test

  $ mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/empty_cgroup
  $ perf stat -e cycles -e cache-misses -a -I 1000 -G empty_cgroup

Before:

     1.001007226   <not counted>      cycles	   empty_cgroup
     1.001007226           7,506      cache-misses

     1.000834097   <not counted>      cycles	   empty_cgroup

yuzhoujian f1f8ad52f8 perf stat: Add support to print counts after a period of time
Introduce a new option to print counts after N milliseconds and update
'perf stat' documentation accordingly.

Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.

  $ perf stat --time 2000 -e cycles -a
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

        157,260,423      cycles

        2.003060766 seconds time elapsed

We can print the count deltas after N milliseconds with this new
introduced option. This option is not supported with "-I" option.

In addition, according to Kangliang's patch(19afd10410), the
monitoring overhead for system-wide core event could be very high if the
interval-print parameter was below 100ms, and the limitation value is
10ms.

So the same warning will be displayed when the time is set between 10ms
to 100ms, and the minimal time is limited to 10ms. Users can make a
decision according to their spcific cases.

Committer notes:

This actually stops the workload after the specified time, then prints
the counts.

So I renamed the option to --timeout and updated the documentation to
state that it will not just print the counts after the specified time,
but will really stop the 'perf stat' session and print the counts.

The rename from 'time' to 'timeout' also fixes the build in systems
where 'time' is used by glibc and can't be used as a name of a variable,
such as centos:5 and centos:6.

Changes since v3:
- none.

Changes since v2:
- modify the time check in __run_perf_stat func to keep some consistency
  with the workload case.
- add the warning when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms.
- add the pr_err when the time is set below 10ms.

Changes since v1:
- none.

yuzhoujian db06a269ec perf stat: Add support to print counts for fixed times
Introduce a new option to print counts for fixed number of times and
update 'perf stat' documentation accordingly.

Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.

  $ perf stat -I 1000 --interval-count 2 -e cycles -a
  #           time             counts unit events

           2.004231506         56,573,446      cycles

We can just print the counts for several times with this newly
introduced option. The usage of it is a little like 'vmstat', and it
should be used together with "-I" option.

  $ vmstat -n 1 2

Changes since v3:
- merge interval_count check and times check to one line.
- fix the wrong indent in stat.h
- use stat_config.times instead of 'times' in cmd_stat function.

Changes since v2:
- none.

Changes since v1:
- change the name of the new option "times-print" to "interval-count".
- keep the new option interval specifically.

Andi Kleen b18f3e3650 perf stat: Support JSON metrics in perf stat
Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to
perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a
higher level result (e.g. IPC).

Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically
enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone
metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't
have an event name.

We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a
short cut to select several related metrics at once.

Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or
metric groups specified.

Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are
collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist.  When
computing shadow values look for metrics in that list.  Then they are
computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c

The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request.

Kan Liang daefd0bc0b perf stat: Add support to measure SMI cost
Implementing a new --smi-cost mode in perf stat to measure SMI cost.

During the measurement, the /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi will be set.

The measurement can be done with one counter (unhalted core cycles), and
two free running MSR counters (IA32_APERF and SMI_COUNT).

In practice, the percentages of SMI core cycles should be more useful
than absolute value. So the output will be the percentage of SMI core
cycles and SMI#. metric_only will be set by default.

SMI cycles% = (aperf - unhalted core cycles) / aperf

Here is an example output.

 Performance counter stats for 'sudo echo ':

SMI cycles%          SMI#
    0.1%              1

       0.010858678 seconds time elapsed

Users who wants to get the actual value can apply additional
--no-metric-only.

Andi Kleen 430daf2dc7 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 --no-merge -a -e unc_c_llc_lookup.any sleep 1

Andi Kleen 44b1e60ab5 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.

Andi Kleen 54b5091606 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

     2.002192321  180.63%               0.76                2.08                    2.96%
     3.003088282  150.59%               0.62                2.57                    2.84%

Kan Liang 19afd10410 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. The overhead percentage could be high in some
 cases. Please proceed with caution.

Andi Kleen 4cabc3d1cb tools/perf/stat: Add perf stat --transaction
Add support to perf stat to print the basic transactional execution statistics:
Total cycles, Cycles in Transaction, Cycles in aborted transsactions
using the in_tx and in_tx_checkpoint qualifiers.
Transaction Starts and Elision Starts, to compute the average transaction
length.

This is a reasonable overview over the success of the transactions.

Also support architectures that have a transaction aborted cycles
counter like POWER8. Since that is awkward to handle in the kernel
abstract handle both cases here.

Enable with a new --transaction / -T option.

This requires measuring these events in a group, since they depend on each
other.

This is implemented by using TM sysfs events exported by the kernel

Andi Kleen 411916880f 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.

Stephane Eranian 12c08a9f59 perf stat: Add per-core aggregation
This patch adds the --per-core option to perf stat.

This option is used to aggregate system-wide counts
on a per physical core basis. On processors with
hyperthreading, this means counts of all HT threads
running on a physical core are aggregated.

This mode is useful to find imblance between physical
cores running an uniform workload. Cores are identified
by socket: S0-C1, means physical core 1 on socket 0. Note
that cores are identified using their physical core id,
thus their numbering may not be continuous.

Per core aggregation can be combined with interval printing:

 # perf stat -a --per-core -I 1000 -e cycles sleep 1000
 #           time core         cpus             counts events
      1.000090030 S0-C0           1          4,765,747 cycles
      1.000090030 S0-C1           1          5,580,647 cycles
      1.000090030 S0-C2           1            221,181 cycles
      1.000090030 S0-C3           1            266,092 cycles
