* perf tools: Add +field argument support for --field optionJiri Olsa2014-08-241-0/+1

* perf tools: Add dcacheline sortDon Zickus2014-06-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In perf's 'mem-mode', one can get access to a whole bunch of details specific to a particular sample instruction. A bunch of those details relate to the data address. One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique cacheline they belong too. Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting them can reveal cache contention. This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it. The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared. The alogortithm is as follows: o group cpumodes together o group entries with discovered maps together o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers o if userspace anon, then sort on pid o sort on cachelines based on data addresses The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'. Sample output: # # Samples: 206 of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp' # Total weight : 2534 # Sort order : dcacheline,pid # # Overhead Samples Data Cacheline Command: Pid # ........ ............ ...................................................................... .................. # 13.22% 1 [k] 0xffff88042f08ebc0 swapper: 0 9.27% 1 [k] 0xffff88082e8cea80 swapper: 0 3.59% 2 [k] 0xffffffff819ba180 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace_handler_na.23901+0xffffffffffffffe0 swapper: 0 0.32% 1 [k] timekeeper_seq+0xfffffffffffffff8 swapper: 0 Note: Added a '+1' to symlen size in hists__calc_col_len to prevent the next column from prematurely tabbing over and mis-aligning. Not sure what the problem is.

* perf tools: Move elide bool into perf_hpp_fmt structJiri Olsa2014-06-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After output/sort fields refactoring, it's expensive to check the elide bool in its current location inside the 'struct sort_entry'. The perf_hpp__should_skip function gets highly noticable in workloads with high number of output/sort fields, like for: $ perf report -i perf-test.data -F overhead,sample,period,comm,pid,dso,symbol,cpu --stdio Performance report: 9.70% perf [.] perf_hpp__should_skip Moving the elide bool into the 'struct perf_hpp_fmt', which makes the perf_hpp__should_skip just single struct read. Got speedup of around 22% for my test perf.data workload. The change should not harm any other workload types.

* perf sort: Separate out branch stack specific sort keysNamhyung Kim2013-01-241-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current perf report gets segmentation fault when a branch stack specific sort key is provided by --sort option to a perf.data file which contains no branch infomation. It's because those sort keys reference branch info of a hist entry unconditionally. Maybe we can change it checks whether such branch info is valid or not. But if the branch stacks are not recorded, it'd be nop. Thus it'd be better to make those keys are unselectable. This patch separates those keys to a different dimension array, so that if user passes such a key to a file which has no branch stack will get following message rather than a segfault.

* perf ui: New hists tree widgetArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-07-271-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The stock newt checkbox tree widget we were using was not really suitable for hist entry + callchain browsing. The problems with it were manifold: - We needed to traverse the whole hist_entry rb_tree to add each entry + callchains beforehand. - No control over the colors used for each row So a new tree widget, based mostly on slang, was written. It extends the ui_browser class already used for annotate to allow the user to fold/unfold branches in the callchains tree, using extra fields in the symbol_map class that is embedded in hist_entry and callchain_node instances to store the folding state and when changing this state calculates the number of rows that are produced when showing a particular hist_entry instance. This greatly speeds up browsing as we don't have to upfront touch all the entries and only calculate callchain related operations when some callchain branch is actually unfolded. The memory footprint is also reduced as the data structure is not duplicated, just some extra fields for controling callchain state and to simplify the process of seeking thru entries (nr_rows, row_offset) were added.

While doing this I noticed that naming "count" to the sum of all the event periods can be confusing, so rename it to .period, just like in struct sample.data, so that we become more consistent. This helps with the next step, that was to record in struct hist_entry the number of sample events for each instance, we need that because we use it to generate the number of events when applying filters to the tree of hist entries like it is being done in the TUI report browser.
