[PATCH 06/10] perf, tools: Collapse identically named events in perf stat

Andi Kleen
2017-01-28T02:08:52Z

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems.
When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large
number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat
output difficult to read.

Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.

This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated
aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

Before:

% perf stat --no-merge -a -e unc_c_llc_lookup.any sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

694,976 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
706,304 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
956,608 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
782,720 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
605,696 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
442,816 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
659,328 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
509,312 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
263,936 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
592,448 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
672,448 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
608,640 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
641,024 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
856,896 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
808,832 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
684,864 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
710,464 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
538,304 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any

1.002577660 seconds time elapsed

After:

% perf stat -a -e unc_c_llc_lookup.any sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

2,685,120 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any

1.002648032 seconds time elapsed

v2: Split collect_aliases. Rename alias flag.
v3: Make sure unsupported/not counted is always printed.
