[PATCH 08/10] perf, tools, stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric

Andi Kleen
2017-03-01T11:25:08Z

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for "MetricExpr"
entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as ratios
than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total ticks.

Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.

We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also
link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful
to always prefer the right event in the same group to minimize
multiplexing errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.

Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based
on the cpu and context.

Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the
existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser
added earlier to evaluate the expression.

Normally we just output the result without further commentary,
but for --metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this
case use the original event as description.

So far there is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event,
if it is missing, however we suggest it to the user.

$ perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}'
1.000228813 800,139,950 unc_p_clockticks
1.000228813 789,833,783 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 98.7
2.000654229 800,308,990 unc_p_clockticks
2.000654229 396,214,238 unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles # 49.5

$ perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}' --metric-only
1.000206740 48.0
2.000451543 48.1

v2: Change from DivideBy to MetricExpr
v3: Use expr__ prefix. Support more than one other event.
