[PATCH v6 09/11] perf/tools: Enhance JSON/metric infrastructure to handle "?"

Kajol Jain
2020-03-20T12:55:54Z

Patch enhances current metric infrastructure to handle "?" in the metric
expression. The "?" can be use for parameters whose value not known while
creating metric events and which can be replace later at runtime to
the proper value. It also add flexibility to create multiple events out
of single metric event added in json file.

Patch adds function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' which is a arch specific
function, returns the count of metric events need to be created.
By default it return 1.

This infrastructure needed for hv_24x7 socket/chip level events.
"hv_24x7" chip level events needs specific chip-id to which the
data is requested. Function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' implemented
in header.c which extract number of sockets from sysfs file
"sockets" under "/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/".

With this patch basically we are trying to create as many metric events
as define by runtime_param.

For that one loop is added in function 'metricgroup__add_metric',
which create multiple events at run time depend on return value of
'arch_get_runtimeparam' and merge that event in 'group_list'.

To achieve that we are actually passing this parameter value as part of
`expr__find_other` function and changing "?" present in metric expression
with this value.

As in our json file, there gonna be single metric event, and out of
which we are creating multiple events, I am also merging this value
to the original metric name to specify parameter value.

For example,
command:# ./perf stat -M PowerBUS_Frequency -C 0 -I 1000
# time counts unit events
1.000101867 9,356,933 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_0
1.000101867 9,366,134 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_1
2.000314878 9,365,868 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_0
2.000314878 9,366,092 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_1

So, here _0 and _1 after PowerBUS_Frequency specify parameter value.

As after adding this to group_list, again we call expr__parse
in 'generic_metric' function present in util/stat-display.c.
By this time again we need to pass this parameter value. So, now to get this value
actually I am trying to extract it from metric name itself. Because
otherwise it gonna point to last updated value present in runtime_param.
And gonna match for that value only.
