The "delta-abs" compute method will show most changed entries on top.
So users can easily see how much effect between the data. Note that it
also changes the default of -o option to 1 in order to apply the compute
method. To see original-style (sorted by baseline) use -o 0 option.

In many cases, I need to look at differences between two data so I often
used the -o option to sort the result base on the difference first.
It'd be nice to have a config option to set it by default.
The diff.order config option is to set the default value of -o/--order
option.

The 'delta-abs' compute method is same as 'delta' but shows entries with
bigger absolute delta first instead of sorting numerically. This is
only useful together with -o option.
Below is default output (-c delta):
$ perf diff -o 1 -c delta | grep -v ^# | head
42.22% +4.97% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cfb_imageblit
0.62% +1.23% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mutex_lock

0.16% +0.45% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] menu_select
+0.41% ld-2.24.so [.] do_lookup_x
Now with 'delta-abs' it shows entries have bigger delta value either
positive or negative.
$ perf diff -o 1 -c delta-abs | grep -v ^# | head

Currently, the perf diff only works with same binaries. That's because
it compares the symbol start address. It doesn't work if the perf.data
comes from different binaries. This patch matches the symbol names.
Actually, perf diff once intended to compare the symbol names. The
commit as below can look for a pair by name.
604c5c92972d (perf diff: Change the default sort order to "dso,symbol")
However, at that time, perf diff used a global list of dsos. That means
the binaries which has same name can only be loaded once. That's a
problem for comparing different binaries.
For example, we have an old binary and an updated binary. They very
likely have same name and most of the functions, so only dsos from old
binary will be loaded. When processing the data from updated binary,
perf still use the symbol information from old binary. That's wrong.
Then the commit as below used IP to replace symbol name.
9c443dfdd31e ("perf diff: Fix support for all --sort combinations")
>From that time, perf diff starts to compare the symbol address.
The global dsos is discarded from a patch in 2010.
a1645ce12adb ("perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance
from host")
However, at that time, perf diff already compared by address. So perf
diff cannot work for different binaries as well.
This patch actually rolls back the perf diff to original design. The
document is also changed, so everybody knows the original design is to
compare the symbol names.
Here are some examples:
The only difference between example_v1.c and example_v2.c is the
location of f2 and f3. There is no change in behavior, but the previous
perf diff display the wrong differential profile.
example_v1.c
noinline void f3(void)
{
volatile int i;
for (i = 0; i < 10000;) {
if(i%2)
i++;
else
i++;
}
}
noinline void f2(void)
{
volatile int a = 100, b, c;
for (b = 0; b < 10000; b++)
c = a * b;
}
noinline void f1(void)
{
f2();
f3();
}

}

It seems not very useful, because it's possible and event more convenient to
lookup related symbol by name. Also the output value for both 'baseline' and
'new' data is quite apparent from diff output.
And above all it complicates hist code factoring ;)
Ditching out PERF_HPP__DISPL column with related output functions.

Putting 'perf diff' command back on track with the 'latest'
evsel hists changes. Each evsel has its own 'hists' object
gathering stats for the particular event.
While currently counts are accumulated for the whole session
regardless of the events diversification within compared
sessions.
The 'perf diff' command now outputs all matching events within
compared sessions (with event name specified). The per event

The symfs argument allows analysis of perf.data file using a locally accessible
filesystem tree with debug symbols - e.g., tree created during image builds,
sshfs mount, loop mounted KVM disk images, USB keys, initrds, etc. Anything
with an OS tree can be analyzed from anywhere without the need to populate a
local data store with build-ids.
Commiter notes:
o Fixed up symfs="/" variants handling.
o prefixed DSO__ORIG_GUEST_KMODULE case with symfs too, avoiding use of files
outside the symfs directory.

That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:
$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
samples) ] perf diff | head -8
9.02% +1.00% find libc-2.10.1.so [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
2.91% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] __kmalloc
2.85% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
1.99% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
2.44% find [kernel] [k] half_md4_transform
$
So if you want to zoom into libc:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
37.34% find [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% find [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% find [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% find [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% find [.] _int_free
$
And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% [.] _int_free
$
The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:
perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% +2 [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% -1 [.] _int_free
$
Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:
$ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove
8.25,+2.00%, ,[.] _int_malloc
5.07,-1.00%, +2,[.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62,+2.00%, -1,[.] _int_free
6.99,+1.00%, -1,[.] _IO_new_file_xsputn
1.89,-2.00%, +4,[.] __readdir64

Fix the short line displayed by 'perf' and also fix some other
details in the longer text.

I guess it is enough to show some examples:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# ls -la perf.data*
ls: cannot access perf.data*: No such file or directory

This should be enough for diffs where the system is non
volatile, i.e. when one doesn't updates binaries.
For volatile environments, stay tuned for the next perf tool
feature: a buildid cache populated by 'perf record', managed by
'perf buildid-cache' a-la ccache, and used by all the report
tools.
