This patch kit further improves support for Intel uncore events in the Linux perf user tool. The basic support has been already merged earlier, but this makes it nicer to use.

- Collapse counts from duplicated boxes to make the output easier to read.
- Support specifying events for multiple duplicated boxes in an abbreviated format to shorten event specifiers
- Add support for computing Metrics defined in the event lists, so that the event lists can extend the metrics in perf stat. This allows to represent many events in an easier to understand format.

Available from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc.git perf/builtin-json-29

v1: Initial post after being split off to own patchkit Adding MetricName support and support for more than two events in expressions.

v2: Address review comments. Move new hunk from refactor patchkit to patch adding new features. Improve changelogs slightly.

v3: Rebased on latest tip tree.
Split some patches based on review feedback.
Add event list changes for MetricName
Move extra printing in perf list to new option
Improve descriptions
Cleanups based on code review.

PATCH 1/13 perf, tools, stat: Factor out callback for collecting event values

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

To be used in next patch to support automatic summing of alias events.

v2: Move check for bad results to next patch
v3: Remove trivial addition.

why do use evsel_list instead of perf_evsel__cpus(counter), which is in the original/removed code?

this patch is about adding collect_data.. if you want to choose this part, please make it clear in separate patch

PATCH 2/13 perf, tools, stat: Collapse identically named events

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems. When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat output difficult to read.

Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.

This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

Before:

% perf stat --no-merge -a -e unc_c_llc_lookup.any sleep 1

PATCH 3/13 perf, tools, stat: Handle partially bad results with merging

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

When any result that is being merged is bad, mark them all bad to give consistent output in interval mode.

No before/after, because the issue was only found in theoretical review and it is hard to reproduce

PATCH 5/13 perf, tools: Expand PMU events by prefix match

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

When the user specifies a pmu directly, expand it automatically with a prefix match for all available PMUs, similar as we do for the normal aliases now.

This allows to specify attributes for duplicated boxes quickly. For example uncore_cbox_{0,6}/.../ can be now specified as uncore_cbox/.../ and it gets automatically expanded for all boxes.

This generally makes it more concise to write uncore specifications, and also avoids the need to know the exact topology of the system.

Before

% perf stat -a -e uncore_cbox_0/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
uncore_cbox_1/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
uncore_cbox_2/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
uncore_cbox_3/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
uncore_cbox_4/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/,\
uncore_cbox_5/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/ sleep 1

After

% perf stat -a -e uncore_cbox/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/ sleep 1

v2: Handle all bison rules. Move multi add code to separate function. Handle uncore_ prefix correctly.
v3: Move parse_events_multi_pmu_add to separate patch. Move uncore prefix check to separate patch.

PATCH 6/13 perf, tools: Special case uncore_ prefix

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Special case uncore_ prefix in PMU match, to allow for shorter event uncore specifications.

Before

perf stat -a -e uncore_cbox/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/ sleep 1

After

perf stat -a -e cbox/event=0x35,umask=0x1,filter_opc=0x19C/ sleep 1

PATCH 7/13 perf, tools: Add a simple expression parser for JSON

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation expressions. The parser is implemented using bison.

This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language"

v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_
Support multiple free variables for parser

PATCH 10/13 perf, tools, stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for "MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total ticks.

Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.

We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.

Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on the cpu and context.

Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser added earlier to evaluate the expression.

Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for --metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the original event as description.

There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user.

% perf stat -a -I 1000 -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_freq_max_os_cycles}'

Output the metric expr in perf list when --debug is specified, so that the user can check the formula.

After:

Add support for a new JSON event attribute to name MetricExpr for better output in perf stat.

PATCH 13/13 perf, tools, list: Move extra details printing to new option

In reply to Andi Kleen

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Move the printing of perf expressions and internal events to a new clearer --details flag, instead of lumping it together with other debug options in --debug. This makes it clearer to use.

Before

perf list --debug
...
unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles
[Cycles all ranks are in critical thermal throttle. Unit: uncore_imc]
uncore_imc_2/event=0x86/ MetricName: power_critical_throttle_cycles % MetricExpr: (unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles / unc_m_clockticks) * 100.

after

perf list --details
...
unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles
[Cycles all ranks are in critical thermal throttle. Unit: uncore_imc]
uncore_imc_2/event=0x86/ MetricName: power_critical_throttle_cycles % MetricExpr: (unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles / unc_m_clockticks) * 100.

This patch kit further improves support for Intel uncore events in the Linux perf user tool. The basic support has been already merged earlier, but this makes it nicer to use.

- Collapse counts from duplicated boxes to make the output easier to read.
- Support specifying events for multiple duplicated boxes in an abbreviated format to shorten event specifiers
- Add support for computing Metrics defined in the event lists, so that the event lists can extend the metrics in perf stat. This allows to represent many events in an easier to understand format.
