[PATCH 0/4] perf hists: Changes on hists__{match,link} (v4)

[PATCH 0/4] perf hists: Changes on hists__{match,link} (v4)

[Namhyung Kim]

Hi,

This is a new version of hists link patchset.

In this version, I've addressed Jiri's comment and added his acked-by's.
Also added a comment on hist_entry__cmp() in order to clarify the reason
of the change of the argument order exchange as Arnaldo suggested.
Hoping that I didn't miss any of remaining issues on this.

I also pushed it on 'perf/link-v4' branch at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Please have a look, thanks.
Namhyung

[PATCH 1/4] perf hists: Exchange order of comparing items when collapsing hists

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

When comparing entries for collapsing put the given entry first, and
then the iterated entry.  This is not the case of hist_entry__cmp()
when called if given sort keys don't require collapsing.  So change
the order for the sake of consistency.  It will be required for
matching and/or linking multiple hist entries.

Got inverted.

The order was arbitrary, and was arbitrarily reversed, are you guys sure this
is the only side effect?

Jiri, IIRC you mentioned that there would be some patch with an --order switch,
would that allow sorting by the entry that had the biggest change, etc?

Holding on this for now.

right,

currently (without namhyung's changes) there's initial 'name' sorting
broken by hists_link

after the change, it gets sorted 'but' there are dummy entries added
which brake the sort again.. this is sorted out within the multi diff
patches

so the bottom line is that currently the sorting is broken anyway,
and the fix is comming in upcomming patchset ;)

by default it'll sorted by baseline and you can specify -o X to sort
by specified file

perf hists: Exchange order of comparing items when collapsing hists

When comparing entries for collapsing put the given entry first, and
then the iterated entry.  This is not the case of hist_entry__cmp() when
called if given sort keys don't require collapsing.  So change the order
for the sake of consistency.  It will be required for matching and/or
linking multiple hist entries.

[PATCH 2/4] perf hists: Link hist entries before inserting to an output tree

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

For matching and/or linking hist entries, they need to be sorted by
given sort keys.  However current hists__match/link did this on the
output trees, so that the entries in the output tree need to be resort
before doing it.

This looks not so good since we have trees for collecting or
collapsing entries before passing them to an output tree and they're
already sorted by the given sort keys.  Since we don't need to print
anything at the time of matching/linking, we can use these internal
trees directly instead of bothering with double resort on the output
tree.

Its only user - at the time of this writing - perf diff can be easily
converted to use the internal tree and can save some lines too by
getting rid of unnecessary resorting codes.

perf hists: Link hist entries before inserting to an output tree

For matching and/or linking hist entries, they need to be sorted by
given sort keys.  However current hists__match/link did this on the
output trees, so that the entries in the output tree need to be resort
before doing it.

This looks not so good since we have trees for collecting or collapsing
entries before passing them to an output tree and they're already sorted
by the given sort keys.  Since we don't need to print anything at the
time of matching/linking, we can use these internal trees directly
instead of bothering with double resort on the output tree.

Its only user - at the time of this writing - perf diff can be easily
converted to use the internal tree and can save some lines too by
getting rid of unnecessary resorting codes.

[PATCH 4/4] perf test: Add a test case for hists__{match,link}

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

As they are used from diff and event group report, add a test case to
verify their behaviors.

In this test I made a fake machine and two evsel.  Each evsel got 10
samples (so hist entries) - 5 are common and the rests are not.  So
after hists__match() both of them will have 5 entries with pair set.

And the second evsel has a collapsed entry so that the total number is
9 - I made it in order to simulate more realistic case.  Thus after
hists__link the first entry will have 14 entries - 5 are common (w/
pair), 5 are unmatch (w/o pair) and 4 are dummy (w/ pair).  And the
second entry will have 9 entries all have its pair.

perf test: Add a test case for hists__{match,link}

As they are used from diff and event group report, add a test case to
verify their behaviors.

In this test I made a fake machine and two evsel.  Each evsel got 10
samples (so hist entries) - 5 are common and the rests are not.  So
after hists__match() both of them will have 5 entries with pair set.

And the second evsel has a collapsed entry so that the total number is 9
- I made it in order to simulate more realistic case.  Thus after
hists__link the first entry will have 14 entries - 5 are common (w/
pair), 5 are unmatch (w/o pair) and 4 are dummy (w/ pair).  And the
second entry will have 9 entries all have its pair.
