2020-09-17perf stat: Support new per thread TopDown metricsAndi Kleen1-2/+5
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.

2020-09-03perf stat: Turn off summary for interval mode by defaultJin Yao1-0/+3
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.

2020-05-29perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4Stephane Eranian1-0/+10
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.

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.

2020-04-23perf stat: Improve runtime stat for interval modeJin Yao1-0/+2
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.

2020-03-04perf stat: Show percore counts in per CPU outputJin Yao1-0/+9
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/ CPU1 1,009,312 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ CPU2 2,784,072 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ CPU3 2,427,922 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ CPU4 2,752,148 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ CPU6 2,784,072 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ CPU7 2,427,922 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ 1.001416041 seconds time elapsed v4: --- Ravi Bangoria reports an issue in v3.

2019-06-10perf stat: Support per-die aggregationKan Liang1-0/+10
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 builtin-stat.c: In function 'perf_env__get_die': builtin-stat.c:963: error: declaration of 'die' shadows a global declaration util/util.h:19: error: shadowed declaration is here mv: cannot stat `/tmp/build/perf/.builtin-stat.o.tmp': No such file or directory Signed-off-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-bsnhx7vgsuu6ei307mw60mbj@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2019-03-19perf stat: Fix --no-scaleAndi Kleen1-3/+2
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.

2018-04-12perf stat: Enable 1ms interval for printing event counters valuesAlexey Budankov1-1/+1
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.

2018-03-08perf pmu: Support wildcards on pmu name in dynamic pmu eventsAgustin Vega-Frias1-0/+13
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.

2018-02-16perf stat: Add support to print counts after a period of timeyuzhoujian1-0/+5
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(19afd10410957), 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.

2017-09-13perf stat: Support JSON metrics in perf statAndi Kleen1-0/+7
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. % perf stat -M Summary --metric-only -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': Instructions CLKS CPU_Utilization GFLOPs SMT_2T_Utilization Kernel_Utilization 317614222.0 1392930775.0 0.0 0.0 0.2 0.1 1.001497549 seconds time elapsed % perf stat -M GFLOPs flops Performance counter stats for 'flops': 3,999,541,471 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar_single # 1.2 GFLOPs (66.65%) 14 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar_double (66.65%) 0 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_packed_double (66.67%) 0 fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_packed_single (66.70%) 0 simd_fp_256.packed_double (66.70%) 0 simd_fp_256.packed_single (66.67%) 0 duration_time 3.238372845 seconds time elapsed v2: Add missing header file v3: Move find_map to pmu.c Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170831194036.30146-7-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

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.

2016-06-06perf stat: Basic support for TopDown in perf statAndi Kleen1-0/+32
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.

2016-03-10perf stat: Implement --metric-only modeAndi Kleen1-0/+4
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>

2015-10-02perf stat: Reduce min --interval-print to 10msKan Liang1-2/+3
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.

2013-10-04tools/perf/stat: Add perf stat --transactionAndi Kleen1-0/+5
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 Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1377128846-977-5-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2013-08-07perf stat: Add support for --initial-delay optionAndi Kleen1-0/+5
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.

2013-03-25perf stat: Add per-core aggregationStephane Eranian1-0/+6
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 Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1360846649-6411-4-git-send-email-eranian@google.com [ committer note: Remove parts already applied on 86ee6e1 to keep bisectability ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
