From 3723908d05834c76fd5cc9ecd17b0851342e1df4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2019 07:44:54 -0700 Subject: perf report: Support time sort key Add a time sort key to perf report to display samples for different time quantums separately. This allows easier analysis of workloads that change over time, and also will allow looking at the context of samples. % perf record ... % perf report --sort time,overhead,symbol --time-quantum 1ms --stdio ... 0.67% 277061.87300 [.] _dl_start 0.50% 277061.87300 [.] f1 0.50% 277061.87300 [.] f2 0.33% 277061.87300 [.] main 0.29% 277061.87300 [.] _dl_lookup_symbol_x 0.29% 277061.87300 [.] dl_main 0.29% 277061.87300 [.] do_lookup_x 0.17% 277061.87300 [.] _dl_debug_initialize 0.17% 277061.87300 [.] _dl_init_paths 0.08% 277061.87300 [.] check_match 0.04% 277061.87300 [.] _dl_count_modids 1.33% 277061.87400 [.] f1 1.33% 277061.87400 [.] f2 1.33% 277061.87400 [.] main 1.17% 277061.87500 [.] main 1.08% 277061.87500 [.] f1 1.08% 277061.87500 [.] f2 1.00% 277061.87600 [.] main 0.83% 277061.87600 [.] f1 0.83% 277061.87600 [.] f2 1.00% 277061.87700 [.] main Committer notes: Rename 'time' argument to hist_time() to htime to overcome this in older distros: cc1: warnings being treated as errors util/hist.c: In function 'hist_time': util/hist.c:251: error: declaration of 'time' shadows a global declaration /usr/include/time.h:186: error: shadowed declaration is here Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190311144502.15423-4-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/sort.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'tools/perf/util/sort.h') diff --git a/tools/perf/util/sort.h b/tools/perf/util/sort.h index 2fbee0b1011c..19dceb7f6145 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/sort.h +++ b/tools/perf/util/sort.h @@ -135,6 +135,7 @@ struct hist_entry { char *srcfile; struct symbol *parent; struct branch_info *branch_info; + long time; struct hists *hists; struct mem_info *mem_info; void *raw_data; @@ -231,6 +232,7 @@ enum sort_type { SORT_DSO_SIZE, SORT_CGROUP_ID, SORT_SYM_IPC_NULL, + SORT_TIME, /* branch stack specific sort keys */ __SORT_BRANCH_STACK, -- cgit v1.2.3 From 4968ac8fb7c378e2bc40b7e9bd97768fa8c7aa32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2019 07:44:58 -0700 Subject: perf report: Implement browsing of individual samples Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually. It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number of samples for useful analysis. Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems. Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per hist entry. Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of samples. Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected sample. It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo. Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to some limitations in the slang ui code.
