v4 cover perf tool: perf diff sort changes

From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>

Current perf diff has some issues. E.g. the default sort key is symbol, but it doesn't work well. It sorts as address. Furthermore, the old perf diff can only work on perf.data from the same binary.

This patch set fixes the symbol issue and extends it to compare the perf.data from different binaries and different kernels. It's useful for debugging the regression issue.
Current perf diff can do address compare, the patch set also keep this feature. A new sort key "symoff" is introduced. It can let the user sort differential profile by the address. It should be useful for debugging the scaling issue, if the user think function level diff is too high granularity.

Here is an example.

v1_1_6perf.data is perf record result of version one tchain on 1.6 kernel. v2_1_8perf.data is perf record result of version two tchain on 1.8 kernel. They are from different binaries.

v1_1_8_1perf.data and v1_1_8_2perf.data are perf record result of version one tchain on 1.8 kernel. I run perf record twice.
They are from same binary.

Old perf diff with default sort key "dso,symbol" for different binary ./perf diff -s dso,symbol v1_1_6perf.data v2_1_8perf.data

Changes from V1:
- mmap2 as default of tool's definition
- Using se_collapse to match symbol name.
- Sort key "addr" is introduced to compare address from same binary.

Changes from V2:
- Rename sort key name to "symoff"

Changes from V3:
- Add sort__symoff_collapse for perf diff
- Refine hist_entry__symoff_snprintf

PATCH v4 2/3 perf tool:perf diff support for different binaries

In reply to [email protected]

From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>

Currently, the perf diff only works with same binaries. That's because it compares the symbol start address. It doesn't work if the perf.data comes from different binaries. This patch matches the function names.

Can you provide an example of this?

Also, can you add some note on the documentation? The example you use in the changelog may also be appropriate to have in the man page.

Its been a looong while since I looked at the diff code, but yeah, comparing by symbol address makes no sense, it had to do a diff from file name!

The canonical example is:

vim workload.c
make workload
perf record ./workload
vim workload.c # do some changes
perf record ./workload
perf diff

And of course doing that would probably result in symbols moving around as functions grow in size and new ones are added...

/me scratches head...

PATCH v4 3/3 perf tool: Add sort key symoff for perf diff

In reply to [email protected]

From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>

Sometime, especially debugging scaling issue, the function level diff may be high granularity. The user may want to do deeper diff analysis for some cache or lock issue. The "symoff" key can let the user sort differential profile by ips. This feature should only work when the perf.data comes from same binary.

Here is an example.
perf diff -s symoff v1_1_8_1perf.data v1_1_8_2perf.data

Re: [PATCH V4 3/3] perf tool: Add sort key symoff for perf diff

Quoted 7 lines · kan liang

From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>

Sometime, especially debugging scaling issue, the function level diff may be high granularity. The user may want to do deeper diff analysis for some cache or lock issue. The "symoff" key can let the user sort differential profile by ips. This feature should only work when the perf.data comes from same binary.

I think the symoff sort key now works well for different (i.e. modified) binaries too.

Sometime, especially debugging scaling issue, the function level diff may be high granularity. The user may want to do deeper diff analysis for some cache or lock issue. The "symoff" key can let the user sort differential profile by ips. This feature should only work when the perf.data comes from same binary.

So, to avoid having people scratching heads, and since we have the build-id for both perf.data files, hence for both binaries being compared, can we check the build ids and either refuse to do the diff or print a big warning about different binaries being compared?

RE: [PATCH V4 3/3] perf tool: Add sort key symoff for perf diff

From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>

Sometime, especially debugging scaling issue, the function level diff may be high granularity. The user may want to do deeper diff analysis for some cache or lock issue. The "symoff" key can let the user sort differential profile by ips. This feature should only work when the perf.data comes from same binary.

Quoted 5 lines

So, to avoid having people scratching heads, and since we have the build-id for both perf.data files, hence for both binaries being compared, can we check the build ids and either refuse to do the diff or print a big warning about different binaries being compared?

Sure. We can compare the buildid on symoff sort, and print a warning if they are from different binaries.

Currently, there is no code to compare the build-id, so we also need a patch to enhance the dso.c What about the code as below?

From: Kan Liang <[email protected]>

Sometime, especially debugging scaling issue, the function level diff may be high granularity. The user may want to do deeper diff analysis for some cache or lock issue. The "symoff" key can let the user sort differential profile by ips. This feature should only work when the perf.data comes from same binary.

Quoted 5 lines

So, to avoid having people scratching heads, and since we have the build-id for both perf.data files, hence for both binaries being compared, can we check the build ids and either refuse to do the diff or print a big warning about different binaries being compared?

Quoted 6 lines

Sure. We can compare the buildid on symoff sort, and print a warning if they are from different binaries.

Currently, there is no code to compare the build-id, so we also need a patch to enhance the dso.c What about the code as below?

But this is to compare everything, I thought that when iterating symbols, say, you got to a (dsoA, symA) comparision to a (dsoB, symB)

you would then check if (dsoA->build_id == dsoB->build_id) and if not, print the warning, but perhaps it would be better to do what you said, i.e. compare all the DSO build-ids and if one of them is different, then, yes, the "composite build_id" of perf.data.1 would be different from that of perf.data.2 and thus comparisions are for "different binaries", is that what you mean?

But in the code below you are assuming that the DSOs are in the exact same order, which I don't know if is an assumption that can be guaranteed, perhaps it would be better to do something like:

/*
* XXX We're using dso->hit here as it probably is not used at the point
* where we use this function, but to be 100% sure perhaps we need to
* add dsos->visited:1 just after dsos->hit:1.
*/

bool dsos__build_ids_equal(struct list_head *dsos_A, struct list_head *dsos_B)

{
	bool ret;
	struct dso *dso_A, *dso_B;

	list_for_each_entry(dsos_A, dso_A, node) {
		dso_B = dsos__find_by_build_id(dsos_A, dso_A->build_id);

		if (dso_B == NULL)
			return false;

		if (memcmp(dso_A->build_id, dso_B->build_id,
			   sizeof(dso_A->build_id))
			return false;

		/* Mark that we compared this one */
		dso_B->hit = 1;
	}

	/*
	 * Now check if there are dsos in dsos_B that are not in
	 * dsos_A.
	 */

	ret = true;
	list_for_each_entry(dsos_B, dso_B, node) {
		if (!dso_B->hit)
			ret = false;
		else
			dso_B->hit = 0;
	}

Re: [PATCH V4 3/3] perf tool: Add sort key symoff for perf diff

Sometime, especially debugging scaling issue, the function level diff may be high granularity. The user may want to do deeper diff analysis for some cache or lock issue. The "symoff" key can let the user sort differential profile by ips. This feature should only work when the perf.data comes from same binary.

Quoted 4 lines

So, to avoid having people scratching heads, and since we have the build-id for both perf.data files, hence for both binaries being compared, can we check the build ids and either refuse to do the diff or print a big warning about different binaries being compared?

Why do you think so? I think it's fine to use symoff for different binaries for same reason as the symbol sort key. Even if some functions were changed, other DSOs and/or functions still have same offset and thus have meaningful diff result IMHO.

Thanks,
