[PATCH 0/4] perf stat: Enable group read of counters

[PATCH 0/4] perf stat: Enable group read of counters

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
sending changes to enable group read of perf counters
for perf stat command. It allows us to read whole group
of counters within single read syscall.

Also available in here:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
  perf/stat_group

Not sure why we haven't supported yet, but anyway it was
unavailable for some time due to a bug which was fixed
just recently via:
  ba5213ae6b88 ("perf/core: Correct event creation with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP")

thanks,
jirka

[PATCH 2/4] perf tools: Add perf_evsel__read_size function

[Jiri Olsa]

Currently we use the size of struct perf_counts_values
to read the event, which prevents us to put any new
member to the struct.

Adding perf_evsel__read_size to return size of the
buffer needed for event read.

[PATCH 3/4] perf tools: Add perf_evsel__read_counter function

[Jiri Olsa]

Adding perf_evsel__read_counter function to read single or
group counter. After calling this function the counter's
evsel::counts struct is filled with values for the counter
and member of its group if there are any.

[PATCH 4/4] perf stat: Use group read for event groups

[Jiri Olsa]

Make perf stat use  group read if there  are groups
defined. The group read will get the values for all
member of groups within a single syscall instead of
calling read syscall for every event.

We can see considerable less amount of kernel cycles
spent on single group read, than reading each event
separately, like for following perf stat command:

  # perf stat -e {cycles,instructions} -I 10 -a sleep 1

Monitored with "perf stat -r 5 -e '{cycles:u,cycles:k}'"

Before:

        24,325,676      cycles:u
       297,040,775      cycles:k

       1.038554134 seconds time elapsed

After:
        25,034,418      cycles:u
       158,256,395      cycles:k

       1.036864497 seconds time elapsed

The perf_evsel__open fallback changes contributed by Andi Kleen.
