Here are a number of perf stat improvements I had lying around in various branches. Two are bug fixes, and two others are (minor) new features.

PATCH 1/4 perf, tools: Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

The information how much a counter ran in perf stat can be quite interesting for other tools to judge how trustworthy a measurement is.

Currently it is only output in non CSV mode.

This patches make perf stat always output the running time and the enabled/running ratio in CSV mode.

This adds two new fields at the end for each line. I assume that existing tools ignore new fields at the end, so it's on by default.

Only CSV mode is affected, no difference otherwise.

v2: Add extra print_running function
v3: Avoid printing nan

hum, so people using CSV mode will now see extra 2 numbers at the end of the line:

  $ ./perf.old stat -x, -e cycles ls > /dev/null
  2679161,,cycles
  $ ./perf stat -x, -e cycles ls > /dev/null
  2574169,,cycles,1295544,100.00

we could be breaking existing scripts..

you recently added 'running-time' option for record, could you please add same option for stat?

plus 2 nits below

I doubt it. Typical CSV parsers ignore additional data at the end.

Just don't insert stuff in the middle (like it was done recently). That breaks a lot of things.

Could be done, but I'm not sure it's worth it here.

print_running has 6 callers. run != ena is only needed for two of them. So I don't think it makes sense to do.

print_running has 6 callers. run != ena is only needed for two of them. So I don't think it makes sense to do.

Those 6 are from print_aggr(), print_counter_aggr() and print_counter(). They all have two branch - one is for no-scaling or not-supported counter (I guess run or ena being 0 goes to this case), another is scaling case - so IMHO print_counter_aggr() should check the run and the ena in this case too.

The former can call print_running() to print empty column to CSV and discard normal (scaling) output. The latter also can call print_running() to print for both output.

So by using print_running(), we can enforce same check to all cases and reduce code duplication also IMHO.

Thanks,
Namhyung

PATCH 2/4 perf, tools: Fix metrics calculation with event qualifiers

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Currently in perf IPC and other metrics cannot be directly shown separately for both user and kernel in a single run. The problem was that the metrics matching code did not check event qualifiers.

With this patch the following case works correctly.

% perf stat -e cycles:k,cycles:u,instructions:k,instructions:u true

Performance counter stats for 'true':

           531,718      cycles:k
           203,895      cycles:u
           338,151      instructions:k            #    0.64  insns per cycle
           105,961      instructions:u            #    0.52  insns per cycle
       0.002989739 seconds time elapsed

Previously it would misreport the ratios because they were matching the wrong value.

The patch is fairly big, but quite mechanic as it just adds context indexes everywhere.

Re: [PATCH 2/4] perf, tools: Fix metrics calculation with event qualifiers

Quoted 19 lines · Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Currently in perf IPC and other metrics cannot be directly shown separately for both user and kernel in a single run. The problem was that the metrics matching code did not check event qualifiers.

With this patch the following case works correctly.

% perf stat -e cycles:k,cycles:u,instructions:k,instructions:u true

Performance counter stats for 'true':

           531,718      cycles:k
           203,895      cycles:u
           338,151      instructions:k            #    0.64  insns per cycle
           105,961      instructions:u            #    0.52  insns per cycle
       0.002989739 seconds time elapsed
Quoted 8 lines

Previously it would misreport the ratios because they were matching the wrong value.

The patch is fairly big, but quite mechanic as it just adds context indexes everywhere.

I like the patch, but your new version doesn't address Ingo's comments on first version:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=139748629929175&w=2

I can make follow up patch, if you are not going to work on that, because I think this is really needed.. let me know

PATCH 3/4 perf, tools, stat: Fix IPC and other formulas with -A

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

perf stat didn't compute the IPC and other formulas for individual CPUs with -A. Fix this for the easy -A case. As before, --per-core and --per-socket do not handle it, they simply print nothing.

this will also prevent the 'socket' and 'core' aggregation not to print bogus data for socket/core cpu 0, we'll need to aggregate shadow stats first to support that.. anyway:

PATCH 4/4 perf, tools, stat: Always correctly indent ratio column

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

When cycles or instructions do not print anything, as in being, --per-socket or --per-core modi, the ratio column was not correctly indented for them. This lead to some ratios not lining up with the others. Always indent correctly when nothing is printed.
