2018-08-08perf report: Add --percent-type optionJiri Olsa
Set annotation percent type from following choices: global-period, local-period, global-hits, local-hits With following report option setup the percent type will be passed to annotation browser: $ perf report --percent-type period-local The local/global keywords set if the percentage is computed in the scope of the function (local) or the whole data (global). The period/hits keywords set the base the percentage is computed on - the samples period or the number of samples (hits).

2018-01-08perf report: Support time percent and multiple time rangesJin Yao
perf report has a --time option to limit the time range of output. It only supports absolute time. Now this option is extended to support multiple time ranges and support the percent of time. For example: 1. Select the first and second 10% time slices: perf report --time 10%/1,10%/2 2. Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices: perf report --time 0%-10%,30%-40% Changelog: v6: Fix the merge issue with latest perf/core branch. No functional changes. v5: Add checking of first/last sample time to detect if it's recorded in perf.data. If it's not recorded, returns error message to user. v4: Remove perf_time__skip_sample, only uses perf_time__ranges_skip_sample v3: Since the definitions of first_sample_time/last_sample_time are moved from perf_session to perf_evlist so change the related code.

2017-03-27perf report: Enable sorting by srcline as keyMilian Wolff
Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us. Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads. The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist entries that generate the same output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ perf report --stdio --inline -g address # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............ ................... ......................................... # 99.89% 35.34% cpp-inlining cpp-inlining [.] main | |--64.55%--main complex:655 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:664 (inline) | | | |--60.31%--hypot +20 | | | | | |--8.52%--__hypot_finite +273 | | | | | |--7.32%--__hypot_finite +411 ... --35.34%--_start +4194346 __libc_start_main +241 | |--6.65%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) | |--2.70%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) | |--1.69%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With this patch and `-g srcline` we instead get the following output: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ perf report --stdio --inline -g srcline # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............ ................... ......................................... # 99.89% 35.34% cpp-inlining cpp-inlining [.] main | |--64.55%--main complex:655 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:664 (inline) | | | |--64.02%--hypot | | | | | --59.81%--__hypot_finite | | | --0.53%--cabs | --35.34%--_start __libc_start_main | |--12.48%--main random.tcc:3326 | /home/milian/projects/kdab/rnd/hotspot/tests/test-clients/cpp-inlining/main.cpp:39 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1809 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:1818 (inline) | /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/random.h:185 (inline) ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Yao Jin <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170318214928.9047-1-milian.wolff@kdab.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2017-03-14perf tools: Add 'cgroup_id' sort order keywordHari Bathini
This patch introduces a cgroup identifier entry field in perf report to identify or distinguish data of different cgroups. It uses the device number and inode number of cgroup namespace, included in perf data with the new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event, as cgroup identifier. With the assumption that each container is created with it's own cgroup namespace, this allows assessment/analysis of multiple containers at once. A simple test for this would be to clone a few processes passing SIGCHILD & CLONE_NEWCROUP flags to each of them, execute shell and run different workloads on each of those contexts, while running perf record command with --namespaces option. Shown below is the output of perf report, sorted with cgroup identifier, on perf.data generated with the above test scenario, clearly indicating one context's considerable use of kernel memory in comparison with others: $ perf report -s cgroup_id,sample --stdio # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 5K of event 'kmem:kmalloc' # Event count (approx.): 5965 # # Overhead cgroup id (dev/inode) Samples # ........ ..................... ............ # 81.27% 3/0xeffffffb 4848 16.24% 3/0xf00000d0 969 1.16% 3/0xf00000ce 69 0.82% 3/0xf00000cf 49 0.50% 0/0x0 30 While this is a start, there is further scope of improving this. For example, instead of cgroup namespace's device and inode numbers, dev and inode numbers of some or all namespaces may be used to distinguish which processes are running in a given container context. Also, scripts to map device and inode info to containers sounds plausible for better tracing of containers.

In some cases it's useful to characterize samples by file. This is useful to get a higher level categorization, for example to map cost to subsystems. Add a srcfile sort key to perf report. It builds on top of the existing srcline support.

2015-08-10perf tools: Support full source file paths for srclineAndi Kleen
For perf report/script srcline currently only the base file name of the source file is printed. This is a good default because it usually fits on the screen. But in some cases we want to know the full file name, for example to aggregate hits per file. In the later case we need more than the base file name to resolve file naming collisions: for example the kernel source has ~70 files named "core.c" It's also useful as input to post processing tools which want to point to the right file. Add a flag to allow full file name output. Add an option to perf report/script to enable this option.
