perf stat: Fix printing os->prefix in CSV metrics output
'perf stat' with CSV output option prints an extra empty string as first field in metrics output line. Sample output below: # ./perf stat -x, --per-socket -a -C 1 ls S0,1,1.78,msec,cpu-clock,1785146,100.00,0.973,CPUs utilized S0,1,26,,context-switches,1781750,100.00,0.015,M/sec S0,1,1,,cpu-migrations,1780526,100.00,0.561,K/sec S0,1,1,,page-faults,1779060,100.00,0.561,K/sec S0,1,875807,,cycles,1769826,100.00,0.491,GHz S0,1,85281,,stalled-cycles-frontend,1767512,100.00,9.74,frontend cycles idle S0,1,576839,,stalled-cycles-backend,1766260,100.00,65.86,backend cycles idle S0,1,288430,,instructions,1762246,100.00,0.33,insn per cycle ====> ,S0,1,,,,,,,2.00,stalled cycles per insn The above command line uses field separator as "," via "-x," option and per-socket option displays socket value as first field. But here the last line for "stalled cycles per insn" has "," in the beginning. Sample output using interval mode: # ./perf stat -I 1000 -x, --per-socket -a -C 1 ls 0.001813453,S0,1,1.87,msec,cpu-clock,1872052,100.00,0.002,CPUs utilized 0.001813453,S0,1,2,,context-switches,1868028,100.00,1.070,K/sec ------ 0.001813453,S0,1,85379,,instructions,1856754,100.00,0.32,insn per cycle ====> 0.001813453,,S0,1,,,,,,,1.34,stalled cycles per insn Above result also has an extra CSV separator after the timestamp. Patch addresses extra field separator in the beginning of the metric output line. The counter stats are displayed by function "perf_stat__print_shadow_stats" in code "util/stat-shadow.c". While printing the stats info for "stalled cycles per insn", function "new_line_csv" is used as new_line callback. The new_line_csv function has check for "os->prefix" and if prefix is not null, it will be printed along with cvs separator. Snippet from "new_line_csv": if (os->prefix) fprintf(os->fh, "%s%s", os->prefix, config->csv_sep); Here os->prefix gets printed followed by "," which is the cvs separator. The os->prefix is used in interval mode option ( -I ), to print time stamp on every new line. But prefix is already set to contain CSV separator when used in interval mode for CSV option. Reference: Function "static void print_interval" Snippet: sprintf(prefix, "%6lu.%09lu%s", ts->tv_sec, ts->tv_nsec, config->csv_sep); Also if prefix is not assigned (if not used with -I option), it gets set to empty string. Reference: function printout() in util/stat-display.c Snippet: .prefix = prefix ? prefix : "", Since prefix already set to contain cvs_sep in interval option, patch removes printing config->csv_sep in new_line_csv function to avoid printing extra field. After the patch: # ./perf stat -x, --per-socket -a -C 1 ls S0,1,2.04,msec,cpu-clock,2045202,100.00,1.013,CPUs utilized S0,1,2,,context-switches,2041444,100.00,979.289,/sec S0,1,0,,cpu-migrations,2040820,100.00,0.000,/sec S0,1,2,,page-faults,2040288,100.00,979.289,/sec S0,1,254589,,cycles,2036066,100.00,0.125,GHz S0,1,82481,,stalled-cycles-frontend,2032420,100.00,32.40,frontend cycles idle S0,1,113170,,stalled-cycles-backend,2031722,100.00,44.45,backend cycles idle S0,1,88766,,instructions,2030942,100.00,0.35,insn per cycle S0,1,,,,,,,1.27,stalled cycles per insn Fixes: 92a61f6412d3a09d ("perf stat: Implement CSV metrics output") Reported-by: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-By: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Athira Jajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Nageswara R Sastry <rnsastry@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221018085605.63834-1-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
