[PATCH 2/3] kernel-shark-qt: Consolidate load_data_entries and load_data_records

[PATCH 2/3] kernel-shark-qt: Consolidate load_data_entries and load_data_records

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The two functions kshark_load_data_entries() and
kshark_load_data_records() contain a lot of similar code. Adding helper
functions can simplify it, and keep bugs from happening in one and not
the other (bugs will happen in both! but they will be consistent).

Add some helper functions used by the two functions above.

Actually , after applying the patch for trace-input.c and this patch on 
top kshark_load_data_entries() becomes slower than 
kshark_load_data_records(). Just make this clear in the description of 
the functions.

You have to free only the element of the list.
The user is responsible for freeing the record.

So what should the purpose of this function be stated here then?

"This function provides an abstraction of the entries from the raw data
that is read." ?

Here's the new patch:

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Subject: [PATCH] kernel-shark-qt: Consolidate load_data_entries and load_data_records

The two functions kshark_load_data_entries() and
kshark_load_data_records() contain a lot of similar code. Adding helper
functions can simplify it, and keep bugs from happening in one and not
the other (bugs will happen in both! but they will be consistent).

Add some helper functions used by the two functions above.

Note, this does create a performance digression to kshark_load_data_entries().
Up to 20%! But consolidating the code will make maintaining easier and we
can add more functions that use the helper functions. Update the comments
to reflect the slowdown. In the future, we may revisit this to see if
we can bring back the performance.

Hi Steve,
I am still learning how to answer to patches, and I guess because of 
this you didn't notice my comment at the bottom. I think you have to 
remove the line

   free_record(rec);

You don't have to send me another patch.
Thanks!

My fault, I should have looked further down. This is why I usually
clean up my replies. By removing functions I'm not commenting on and
replacing them with: [..]

Even with that said, it was my fault for missing it. Thanks for the
review.

OK, I'll fix it up and push it out.

Right! And I'll replace that with a comment:

			/* The record is still referenced in rows */

Thanks for the review.

Here's a diff of the patch. Not counting the comment change in the
doxygen header, as I already rebased that.

In my tests, it showed a 30% slowdown. I really didn't like that. So I
looked at why it was so slow, and it appeared two fold. One, was that I
was doing a double allocation (allocating for both the rec_list and the
entry), the other was that holding on to all records still appeared to
slow things down a bit. Even with the array of storage, it made it
slow.

I decided to make it closer to the original but still with helper
functions. The key was modifying the struct rec_list to be:

struct rec_list {
	union {
		struct kshark_entry		entry;
		struct {
			struct rec_list		*next; /* Matches entry->next */
			struct pevent_record	*rec;
		};
	};
};

And creating a enum:

enum rec_type {
	REC_RECORD,
	REC_ENTRY,
};


That would allow the functions to know what type it was dealing with.
Will this change affect your numpy work much? You can add a REC_NUMPY
if needed.

Try it out and see if it improves things on your end:

Oh, and I pushed my patches.

I defined "adv_filter" just as a short version of 
"kshark_ctx->advanced_event_filter", because of the 80 columns limit on 
the length of lines. You can move this outside of the while() loop;

Maybe the call of kshark_add_task() can be moved to 
kshark_load_data_entries()
Just to be consistent with kshark_load_data_records()

Correct, thanks!

I didn't want to put it outside the loop, because I didn't want it to
be required for REC_RECORD. But I think outside the loop, I can just do:

	if (type == REC_ENTRY)
		adv_filter = ....

The problem is that "rec" is freed. That was required as part of the
speed up.

Can you send a patch. I don't want this to be a fix. That should be a
separate patch.

Yep, this is a common trick I use.

Ah, you said kshark_add_task(), I read it as kshark_set_entry_values().
I'll look at it. But an FYI on replying. When making comments, one
usually references the code above, not below, which is where I got
confused.

Thanks!

BTW, I was going to ask. Do you use entry->next elsewhere (to get per
cpu lists)?
