bpftool: Add {i,d}tlb_misses support for bpftool profile
Commit 47c09d6a9f67("bpftool: Introduce "prog profile" command")
introduced "bpftool prog profile" command which can be used
to profile bpf program with metrics like # of instructions,
This patch added support for itlb_misses and dtlb_misses.
During an internal bpf program performance evaluation,
I found these two metrics are also very useful. The following
is an example output:
$ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles itlb_misses
1885029 run_cnt
5134686073 cycles
306893 itlb_misses
$ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles dtlb_misses
1827382 run_cnt
4943593648 cycles
5975636 dtlb_misses
$ bpftool prog profile id 324 duration 3 cycles llc_misses
1836527 run_cnt
5019612972 cycles
4161041 llc_misses
From the above, we can see quite some dtlb misses, 3 dtlb misses
perf prog run. This might be something worth further investigation.
