[PATCH 00/11] perf tool: Add PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample read support

[PATCH 00/11] perf tool: Add PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample read support

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
adding support to read sample values through the PERF_SAMPLE_READ
sample type. It's now possible to specify 'S' modifier for an event
and get its sample value by PERF_SAMPLE_READ.

For group the 'S' modifier will enable sampling only for the leader
and read all the group member by PERF_SAMPLE_READ smple type with
PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format.

This was first introduced in here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/20/75

Example:

  $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
  ...
  $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
  ...
  # Samples: 36  of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
  # Event count (approx.): 12585593
  #
  #         Overhead                    Period  Command      Shared Object                      Symbol
  # ................  ........................  .......  .................  ..........................
  #
      19.92%   1.20%       2505936          31       ls  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mark_held_locks
      13.74%   0.47%       1729327          12       ls  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sched_clock_local
      13.64%  23.72%       1716147         612       ls  ld-2.14.90.so      [.] check_match.10805
      13.12%  23.22%       1650778         599       ls  libc-2.14.90.so    [.] _nl_intern_locale_data
      11.24%  29.19%       1414554         753       ls  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] sched_clock_cpu

[PATCH 01/11] perf ui/hist: Add support to display whole group data for raw columns

[Jiri Olsa]

Currently we don't display group members' values for raw
columns like 'Samples' and 'Period' when in group report
mode.

Uniting '__hpp__percent_fmt' and '__hpp__raw_fmt' function under
new function __hpp__fmt. It's basically '__hpp__percent_fmt' code
with new 'fmt_percent' bool parameter added saying whether raw
number or percentage should be printed.

This way raw columns print out all the group members when
in group report mode, like:

  $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}' ls
  ...
  $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
  ...
  #         Overhead                    Period  Command      Shared Object                             Symbol

[PATCH 02/11] perf: Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl to return event ID

[Jiri Olsa]

From: "jolsa@redhat.com" <jolsa@redhat.com>

The only way to get the event ID is by reading the event fd,
followed by parsing the ID value out of the returned data.

While this is ok for current read format used by perf tool,
it is not ok when we use PERF_FORMAT_GROUP format.

With this format the data are returned for the whole group
and there's no way to find out what ID belongs to our fd
(if we are not group leader event).

Adding a simple ioctl that returns event primary ID for given fd.

[PATCH 03/11] perf: Do not get values from disabled counters in group format read

[Jiri Olsa]

From: "jolsa@redhat.com" <jolsa@redhat.com>

It's possible some of the counters in the group could be
disabled when sampling member of the event group is reading
the rest via PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Disabled
counters could then produce wrong numbers.

Fixing that by reading only enabled counters for PERF_SAMPLE_READ
sample type processing.

I had to like re-read our previous thread on this; which I think says that the

[PATCH 04/11] perf tools: Use PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID perf ioctl to read event id

[Jiri Olsa]

Changing the way we retrieve the event ID. Instead of parsing out
the ID out of the read data, using the PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl.

Keeping the old way in place to support kernels without
PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl support.

This will be useful for retrieving the event ID for events
with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format set, where it's impossible
to get correct event id out of the read call data.

[PATCH 05/11] perf tools: Add support for parsing PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type

[Jiri Olsa]

Adding support to parse out the PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample bits.
The code contains both single and group format specification.

This code parse out and prepare PERF_SAMPLE_READ data into the
perf_sample struct. It will be used for group leader sampling
feature comming in shortly.

[PATCH 06/11] perf tools: Fix event ID retrieval for group format read case

[Jiri Olsa]

From: "jolsa@redhat.com" <jolsa@redhat.com>

We need to fail the event ID retrieval in case both following
conditions are true:
  - we are on kernel with no PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID support
  - PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format is set

The PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format bit is the killer for
retrieving event ID out of the read syscall, because we
have no guarantee of the event placement within leader
kernel sibling list.

[PATCH 08/11] perf tools: Add PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample related processing

[Jiri Olsa]

For sample with sample type PERF_SAMPLE_READ the period value is
stored in the 'struct sample_read'.

Moreover if the read format has PERF_FORMAT_GROUP, the 'struct
sample_read' contains period values for all events in the group
(for which the sample's event is a leader).

We deliver separated samples for all the values contained
within the 'struct sample_read'.

[PATCH 09/11] perf tools: Add 'S' event/group modifier to read sample value

[Jiri Olsa]

Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s
are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the
period value offered by lower layers.

There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified
on event group:

Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now
specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger
samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled.

And same as for single events, values of all events within the group
(including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing.

Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses
events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to actually
sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are read by
PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format.

Example:

  $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
  ...
  $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
  ...
  # Samples: 36  of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
