Support sample context in perf report

Support sample context in perf report

[Andi Kleen]

We currently have two ways to look at sample data in perf:
either use perf report to aggregate everything, or use
perf script to look at all individual samples.

Both ways are useful. Of course aggregation is useful
to quickly find the most expensive part of the code.

But sometimes a single sample is not good enough to
determine the problem and we need to look at context, either
through branch contexts, or other previous samples (e.g. for
correlating different micro architecture events or computing
metrics)

This can be done through perf script today, but it can
be rather cumbersome to find the right samples to look
at.

Another problem with perf report is that it aggregates
the whole measurement period. But many real workloads
have phases where they behave quite differently, and it is
often not useful to combine them into a single histogram.

While this can be worked around with the --time option
to report, it can be quite cumbersome.

This patch kit attempts to address some of these
problems in perf report by making it time aware.

- It adds a new time sort key that allows perf report
to separate samples from different regions. The time
regions can be defined with a new --time-quantum option.

- Then it extends the perf script support in the
tui record browser to allow browsing samples for 
different time regions from within a perf report
session.

- Finally it extends the report browser script display
support to automatically select sensible defaults
based on what was recorded. For example it will
automatically show branch contexts with -b.

There could be probably be done more to make
perf report even better for such use cases (e.g. a real
time line display), but this basic support is good
enough for many useful usages.

[PATCH 01/11] perf tools script: Handle missing fields with -F +..

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

When using -F + syntax to add a field the existing defaults
are currently all marked user_set. This can cause errors when
some field is missing in the perf.data

This patch tracks the actually user set fields separately,
so that we don't error out in this case.

Before:

% perf record true
% perf script -F +metric
Samples for 'cycles:ppp' event do not have CPU attribute set. Cannot print 'cpu' field.
%

After

5 perf record true
% perf script -F +metric
            perf 28936 278636.237688:          1 cycles:ppp:  ffffffff8117da99 perf_event_exec+0x59 (/lib/modules/4.20.0-odilo/build/vmlinux)

[PATCH 02/11] perf tools script: Support insn output for normal samples

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

perf script -F +insn was only working for PT traces because
the PT instruction decoder was filling in the insn/insn_len
sample attributes. Support it for non PT samples too on x86
using the existing x86 instruction decoder.

[PATCH 03/11] perf tools report: Support nano seconds

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Upcoming changes add timestamp output in perf report. Add a --ns
argument similar to perf script to support nanoseconds resolution
when needed.

[PATCH 04/11] perf tools report: Parse time quantum

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Many workloads change over time. perf report currently aggregates
the whole time range reported in perf.data.

This patch adds an option for a time quantum to quantisize the
perf.data over time.

This just adds the option, will be used in follow on patches
for a time sort key.

Add a time sort key to perf report to display samples for
different time quantums separately. This allows easier

will allow looking at the context of samples.

[PATCH 06/11] perf tools report: Use less for scripts output

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The UI viewer for scripts output has a lot of limitations: limited size,
no search or save function, slow, and various other issues.

Just use 'less' to display directly on the terminal instead.

This won't work in gtk mode, but gtk doesn't support these
context menus anyways. If that is every done could use an terminal
for the output.

scripts for only the currently selected time range. Compute
the correct range for the selection add pass it as the --time option to

[PATCH 09/11] perf tools report: Support builtin perf script in scripts menu

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The scripts menu traditionally only showed custom perf scripts.

Allow to run standard perf script with useful default options too.

- Normal perf script
- perf script with assembler (needs xed installed)
- perf script with source code output (needs debuginfo)
- perf script with custom arguments

Then we automatically select the right options to
display the information in the perf.data file.

For example with -b display branch contexts.

It's not easily possible to check for xed's existence
in advance.  perf script usually gives sensible error messages when
it's not available.

[PATCH 11/11] perf tools report: Implement browsing of individual samples

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Now 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.

I like the stats ;-)

I assume some of the current includes can be removed as well:

#include <elf.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <sys/ttydefaults.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "../../util/sort.h"

could you please put this into symbol_conf? it's not ideal,

I saw this code around multiple times.. I think bts and pt are using
same code to fetch instructions.. could we synchronize and have just
one function to do this?

You need to use --sort time,overhead,sym

Without time sorting there are no available ranges.

Yes, but the display code limits it to symbol_conf.res_samples

That was intentional so that we can keep track of the total
number of samples. Plan was to eventually display it somewhere
so that the users know how many of the samples are covered
(currently it is not though)

perf script: Handle missing fields with -F +..

When using -F + syntax to add a field the existing defaults are
currently all marked user_set. This can cause errors when some field is
missing in the perf.data

This patch tracks the actually user set fields separately, so that we don't
error out in this case.

Before:

  % perf record true
  % perf script -F +metric
  Samples for 'cycles:ppp' event do not have CPU attribute set. Cannot print 'cpu' field.
  %

After:

  5 perf record true
  % perf script -F +metric
              perf 28936 278636.237688:          1 cycles:ppp:  ffffffff8117da99 perf_event_exec+0x59 (/lib/modules/4.20.0-odilo/build/vmlinux)
