PATCH 1/1 perf report/annotate: Add option to specify a CPU range

Add an option to perf report and perf annotate to specify which CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.

This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no single process consumed an entire CPU.

The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf report already uses -C <comms>.

---

I capped it at MAX_NR_CPUS to avoid having to dynamically allocate cpu_bitmap, but we could do that if the extra complexity is worth it.

PATCH 1/1 perf report/annotate: Add option to specify a CPU range

In reply to David Ahern

Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.

This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no single process consumed an entire CPU.

The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf report already uses -C <comms>.

v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
- Added -c to perf script
- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
- Update documentation

It would be better to make this a function that all 3 commands reference -- something like perf_session__cpu_bitmap(session, cpu_list, cpu_bitmap) in util/session.c

It would be better to make this a function that all 3 commands reference -- something like perf_session__cpu_bitmap(session, cpu_list, cpu_bitmap) in util/session.c

Agreed. I can see how it ended up looking like this (fixing only perf report, then adding it to top, then to script), but at this stage it really calls for one helper that all three commands can utilize.

Very nice enhancement otherwise - might i suggest a 'perf top' hotkey as well to limit the output to certain CPUs only? :-)

Thanks,

Ingo

Yeah, it was dying to be consolidated. New version on the way.

Good idea :) I'll have a go at it.

PATCH 1/1 perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU range

In reply to Ingo Molnar

Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.

This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no single process consumed an entire CPU.

The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf report already uses -C <comms>.

---

v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
- Added -c to perf script
- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
- Update documentation

v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap
