Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in
total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all
addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces
srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us.
Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes
perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads.
The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the
status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist
entries that generate the same output:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ perf report --stdio --inline -g address

It takes some time to look for inline stack for callgraph addresses. So
it provides new option "--inline" to let user decide if enable this
feature.
--inline:
If a callgraph address belongs to an inlined function, the inline stack
will be printed. Each entry is the inline function name or file/line.

This patch introduces a cgroup identifier entry field in perf report to
identify or distinguish data of different cgroups. It uses the device
number and inode number of cgroup namespace, included in perf data with
the new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event, as cgroup identifier.
With the assumption that each container is created with it's own cgroup
namespace, this allows assessment/analysis of multiple containers at
once.
A simple test for this would be to clone a few processes passing
SIGCHILD & CLONE_NEWCROUP flags to each of them, execute shell and run
different workloads on each of those contexts, while running perf
record command with --namespaces option.
Shown below is the output of perf report, sorted with cgroup identifier,
on perf.data generated with the above test scenario, clearly indicating
one context's considerable use of kernel memory in comparison with
others:
$ perf report -s cgroup_id,sample --stdio
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 5K of event 'kmem:kmalloc'
# Event count (approx.): 5965
#
# Overhead cgroup id (dev/inode) Samples
# ........ ..................... ............
#
81.27% 3/0xeffffffb 4848
16.24% 3/0xf00000d0 969
1.16% 3/0xf00000ce 69
0.82% 3/0xf00000cf 49
0.50% 0/0x0 30
While this is a start, there is further scope of improving this. For
example, instead of cgroup namespace's device and inode numbers, dev
and inode numbers of some or all namespaces may be used to distinguish
which processes are running in a given container context.
Also, scripts to map device and inode info to containers sounds
plausible for better tracing of containers.

Add new sort key 'symbol_size' to allow user to sort by symbol size, or
(more usefully) display the symbol size using --fields=...,symbol_size.
Committer note:
Testing it together with the recently added -q, to remove the headers,
and using the '+' sign with -s, to add the symbol_size sort order to
the default, which is '-s/--sort comm,dso,symbol':

'perf report --stdio' will colorize entries with most hits and possibly
some other aspects of its output, but those colors gets suppressed if we
redirect the output to a non-tty, allow keeping the colors by adding a
new option, --stdio-color, now this use case will also output escape
sequences for colors:

That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen

We cannot limit processing stacks from the current value of the sysctl,
as we may be processing perf.data files, possibly from other machines.
Instead use the old PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH, the sysctl default, that can
be overriden using --max-stack or equivalent.

/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
There is an upper limit to what tooling considers a valid callchain,
and it was tied to the hardcoded value in the kernel,
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127), now that this can be tuned via a sysctl,
make it read it and use that as the upper limit, falling back to
PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH for kernels where this sysctl isn't present.

For example, the following 20 lines can be printed in 3 lines with the
folded output mode:

This mode is supported only for --stdio now and intended to be used by
some scripts like in FlameGraphs[1]. Support for other UI might be
added later.

The --max_stack option was added as an optimization to reduce processing time,
so people specifying --max-stack might get a increased processing time if
combined with synthesized callchains, but otherwise no real harm.
A warning about setting both --max_stack and the synthesized callchains max
depth seems like overkill. Amend the documentation.

In some cases it's useful to characterize samples by file. This is
useful to get a higher level categorization, for example to map cost to
subsystems.
Add a srcfile sort key to perf report. It builds on top of the existing
srcline support.

E.g.:
# perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (13 samples) ]
[root@zoo ~]# perf report -s srcfile --stdio
# Total Lost Samples: 0

For perf report/script srcline currently only the base file name of the
source file is printed. This is a good default because it usually fits
on the screen.
But in some cases we want to know the full file name, for example to
aggregate hits per file.
In the later case we need more than the base file name to resolve file
naming collisions: for example the kernel source has ~70 files named
"core.c"
It's also useful as input to post processing tools which want to point
to the right file.
Add a flag to allow full file name output.
Add an option to perf report/script to enable this option.

cycles is a new branch_info field available on some CPUs that indicates
the time deltas between branches in the LBR.
Add a sort key and output code for the cycles to allow to display the
basic block cycles individually in perf report.
We also pass in the cycles for weight when LBRs are processed, which
allows to get global and local weight, to get an estimate of the total
cost.
And also print the cycles information for perf report -D. I also added
printing for the previously missing LBR flags (mispredict etc.)

The 'record' and 'top' tools already allow a user to specify a CSV of
pids and/or tids of tasks to collect data.
Add those options to the 'report' and 'script' analysis commands to only
consider samples related to the given pids/tids.
This is also inline with the existing comm option.

Add a --branch-history option to perf report that changes all the
settings necessary for using the branches in callstacks.
This is just a short cut to make this nicer to use, it does not enable
any functionality by itself.
v2: Change sort order. Rename option to --branch-history to
be less confusing.
v3: Updates
v4: Fix conflict with newer perf base
v5: Port to latest tip
v6: Add more comments. Remove CCKEY_ADDRESS setting. Remove
unnecessary branch_mode setting. Use a boolean.

Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for
individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful.
This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over
complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how
normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of
the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram
infrastructure to unify them.
This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that
lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the
caller for short functions.
Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not
needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this
point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be
added in a patch after this one:
tcall.c:
volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c;
__attribute__((noinline)) f2()
{
c = a / b;
}
__attribute__((noinline)) f1()
{
f2();
f2();
}
main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
f1();
}
% perf record -b -g ./tsrc/tcall
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

The default output is unchanged.
This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere
else.
This adds the basic code to report:
- add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode
- when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c.
The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the
difference between LBR entry and normal call entry.
- detect overlaps with the callchain
- remove small loop duplicates in the LBR
Current limitations:
- The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history
and LBR entries have no special marker.
- It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow
(e.g. with arrows)
v2: Various fixes.
v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space.
v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback.
v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without
-b.
v6: Rebase
v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset.
v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate
patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

In perf's 'mem-mode', one can get access to a whole bunch of details specific to a
particular sample instruction. A bunch of those details relate to the data
address.
One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique
cacheline they belong too. Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting
them can reveal cache contention.
This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group
entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it.
The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine
if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared.
The alogortithm is as follows:
o group cpumodes together
o group entries with discovered maps together
o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers
o if userspace anon, then sort on pid
o sort on cachelines based on data addresses
The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'.
Sample output:
#
# Samples: 206 of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp'
# Total weight : 2534
# Sort order : dcacheline,pid
#
# Overhead Samples Data Cacheline Command: Pid

Note: Added a '+1' to symlen size in hists__calc_col_len to prevent the next column
from prematurely tabbing over and mis-aligning. Not sure what the problem is.

The -F/--fields option is to allow user setup output field in any

overhead, overhead_sys, overhead_us, sample and period
If guest profiling is enabled, overhead_guest_{sys,us} will be

The output fields also affect sort order unless you give -s/--sort
option. And any keys specified on -s option, will also be added to
the output field list automatically.

The --percentage option is for controlling overhead percentage
displayed. It can only receive either of "relative" or "absolute".
"relative" means it's relative to filtered entries only so that the
sum of shown entries will be always 100%. "absolute" means it retains
the original value before and after the filter is applied.
$ perf report -s comm

When callgraph data was included in the perf data file, it may take a
long time to scan all those data and merge them together especially if
the stored callchains are long and the perf data file itself is large,
like a Gbyte or so.
The callchain stack is currently limited to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127).
This is a large value. Usually the callgraph data that developers are
most interested in are the first few levels, the rests are usually not
looked at.
This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-report to limit the
depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for
perf-report to finish its processing. It trades the presence of trailing
stack information with faster speed.
The following table shows the elapsed time of doing perf-report on a
perf.data file of size 985,531,828 bytes.
