Subject: [PATCH] perf report: Fix wrong LBR block sorting
Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2021 10:44:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210407024452.29988-1-yao.jin@linux.intel.com> (raw)
When '--total-cycles' is specified, it supports sorting for all blocks
by 'Sampled Cycles%'. This is useful to concentrate on the globally
hottest blocks.
'Sampled Cycles%' - block sampled cycles aggregation / total sampled cycles
But in current code, it doesn't use the cycles aggregation. Part of 'cycles'
counting is possibly dropped for some overlap jumps. But for identifying
the hot block, we always need the full cycles.
# perf record -b ./triad_loop
# perf report --total-cycles --stdio
Before:

The hottest block '[triad_loop.c:64 -> triad_loop.c:65]' is not at
the top of output.
After:

0.07% 69 0.09% 17 [intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm+432 -> intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm+468] [kernel.kallsyms]
Now the hottest block is reported at the top of output.
