[RFC/PATCH 0/2] perf tools: Factor sort elide

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
factoring the elide code to make perf_hpp__should_skip
function cheap call/check again.

Also I was wondering.. do we want to get rid of sort_entry
structs in favor of perf_hpp__* stuff? Any plans?

I'm sending this a RFC, since any other such refactoring
would change this stuff for sure as well ;-).

thanks,
jirka

[PATCH 1/2] perf tools: Remove elide setup for SORT_MODE__MEMORY mode

[Jiri Olsa]

There's no need to setup elide of sort_dso sort entry again
with symbol_conf.dso_list list.

The only difference were list names of memory mode data,
which does not make much sense to me.

[PATCH 2/2] perf tools: Move elide bool into perf_hpp_fmt struct

[Jiri Olsa]

After output/sort fields refactoring, it's expensive
to check the elide bool in its current location inside
the 'struct sort_entry'.

The perf_hpp__should_skip function gets highly noticable in
workloads with high number of output/sort fields, like for:

  $ perf report -i perf-test.data -F overhead,sample,period,comm,pid,dso,symbol,cpu --stdio

Performance report:
   9.70%  perf  [.] perf_hpp__should_skip                                                                          ◆

Moving the elide bool into the 'struct perf_hpp_fmt', which
makes the perf_hpp__should_skip just single struct read.

Got speedup of around 22% for my test perf.data workload.
The change should not harm any other workload types.

while hunting another bug I noticed I did not initialized properly the
elide bool in __sort_dimension__alloc_hpp.. attached v2 of patch 2/2

[RFC/BUG] not working LLC-load-misses on SandyBridge (42) and Haswell

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
Joe asked about issues with LLC-load-misses on Haswell. I tried
and found it non functional on SandyBridge (42) as well:

[jolsa@krava perf]$ ./perf stat -e LLC-load-misses ls
...

 Performance counter stats for 'ls':

   <not supported>      LLC-load-misses          

       0.007195547 seconds time elapsed


both SandyBridge (42 and 45) share following config arrays:
  snb_hw_cache_event_ids and snb_hw_cache_extra_regs

but have different 'x86_pmu.extra_regs' which makes LLC-load-misses
event fail (in valid_mask check) in x86_pmu_extra_regs function

Haswell is sharing the same extra regs/ids config as SandyBridge (42),
so it suffers in the same way.

Not sure if thats known issue, but it looks like we need special
set of snb_hw_cache_event_ids for SandyBridge (42) ?

thanks for info,
jirka

There are lots of issues with the event tables. They need a large
scale revamp.

I have some changes already, but they need more

perf tools: Remove elide setup for SORT_MODE__MEMORY mode

There's no need to setup elide of sort_dso sort entry again
with symbol_conf.dso_list list.

The only difference were list names of memory mode data,
which does not make much sense to me.

perf tools: Move elide bool into perf_hpp_fmt struct

After output/sort fields refactoring, it's expensive
to check the elide bool in its current location inside
the 'struct sort_entry'.

The perf_hpp__should_skip function gets highly noticable in
workloads with high number of output/sort fields, like for:

  $ perf report -i perf-test.data -F overhead,sample,period,comm,pid,dso,symbol,cpu --stdio

Performance report:
   9.70%  perf  [.] perf_hpp__should_skip

Moving the elide bool into the 'struct perf_hpp_fmt', which
makes the perf_hpp__should_skip just single struct read.

Got speedup of around 22% for my test perf.data workload.
The change should not harm any other workload types.

Performance counter stats for (10 runs):
  before:
   358,319,732,626      cycles                    ( +-  0.55% )
   467,129,581,515      instructions              #    1.30  insns per cycle          ( +-  0.00% )

     150.943975206 seconds time elapsed           ( +-  0.62% )

  now:
   278,785,972,990      cycles                    ( +-  0.12% )
   370,146,797,640      instructions              #    1.33  insns per cycle          ( +-  0.00% )

     116.416670507 seconds time elapsed           ( +-  0.31% )
