perf tools: Skip dynamic fields not defined for current event

2016-01-06T23:11:12Z

When there are multiple events, each dynamic sort key is defined just for one event. In this case other events will always show "N/A" for those fields. But they are meaningless and consume precious screen width. Let's skip those undefined dynamic fields. $ perf record -e kmem:kmalloc,kmem:kfree -a sleep 1 $ perf report -s 'comm,kmalloc.*' --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 20K of event 'kmem:kmalloc' # Event count (approx.): 20533 # # Overhead Command call_site ptr bytes_req bytes_alloc gfp_flags # ........ ....... .................. .................. ......... ........... ................... # 99.89% perf ffffffffa01d4396 0xffff8803ffb79720 96 96 GFP_NOFS|GFP_ZERO 0.06% sleep ffffffff8114e1cd 0xffff8803d228a000 4096 4096 GFP_KERNEL 0.03% perf ffffffff811d6ae6 0xffff8803f7678f00 240 256 GFP_KERNEL|GFP_ZERO 0.00% perf ffffffff812263c1 0xffff880406172380 128 128 GFP_KERNEL 0.00% perf ffffffff812264b9 0xffff8803ffac1600 504 512 GFP_KERNEL 0.00% perf ffffffff81226634 0xffff880401dc5280 28 32 GFP_KERNEL 0.00% sleep ffffffff81226da9 0xffff8803ffac3a00 392 512 GFP_KERNEL # Samples: 20K of event 'kmem:kfree' # Event count (approx.): 20597 # # Overhead Command # ........ .............. # 99.63% perf 0.14% sleep 0.11% irq/36-iwlwifi 0.11% kworker/u16:0 0.01% Xorg 0.00% firefox Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1450804030-29193-12-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf report: Add callchain value option

2015-11-19T16:19:23Z

Now -g/--call-graph option supports how to display callchain values. Possible values are 'percent', 'period' and 'count'. The percent is same as before and it's the default behavior. The period displays the raw period value rather than the percentage. The count displays the number of occurrences. $ perf report --no-children --stdio -g percent ... 39.93% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idel | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry | |--28.63%-- start_secondary | --11.30%-- rest_init $ perf report --no-children --show-total-period --stdio -g period ... 39.93% 13018705 swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idel | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry | |--9334403-- start_secondary | --3684302-- rest_init $ perf report --no-children --show-nr-samples --stdio -g count ... 39.93% 80 swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idel | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry | |--57-- start_secondary | --23-- rest_init Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Acked-by: Brendan Gregg Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1447047946-1691-6-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf report: Support folded callchain mode on --stdio

2015-11-19T16:19:22Z

Add new call chain option (-g) 'folded' to print callchains in a line. The callchains are separated by semicolons, and preceded by (absolute) percent values and a space. For example, the following 20 lines can be printed in 3 lines with the folded output mode: $ perf report -g flat --no-children | grep -v ^# | head -20 60.48% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle 54.60% intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry start_secondary 5.88% intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry rest_init start_kernel x86_64_start_reservations x86_64_start_kernel $ perf report -g folded --no-children | grep -v ^# | head -3 60.48% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle 54.60% intel_idle;cpuidle_enter_state;cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary 5.88% intel_idle;cpuidle_enter_state;cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel This mode is supported only for --stdio now and intended to be used by some scripts like in FlameGraphs[1]. Support for other UI might be added later.

perf ui/stdio: Fix invalid percentage value of cumulated hist entries

2014-06-01T12:35:09Z

On stdio, there's a problem that it shows invalid values for callchains in cumulated hist entries. It's because it only cares about the self period. But with --children behavior, we always add callchain info to the cumulated entries so it should use the value in that case.

perf tools: Apply percent-limit to cumulative percentage

If -g cumulative option is given, it needs to show entries which don't have self overhead. So apply percent-limit to accumulated overhead percentage in this case.

perf tools: Get rid of obsolete hist_entry__sort_list

2014-05-21T09:45:37Z

Now we moved to the perf_hpp_[_sort]_list so no need to keep the old hist_entry__sort_list and sort__first_dimension. Also the hist_entry__sort_snprintf() can be gone as hist_entry__snprintf() provides the functionality.
