[PATCH v2 0/3] perf hists: Changes on hists__{match,link}

[Namhyung Kim]

Hi Arnaldo,

I exchanged arguments of hist_entry__cmp() and friends as you
requested.  You can get this on my perf/link-v2 branch at

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Thanks,
Namhyung

[PATCH 1/3] perf hists: Exchange order of comparing items when collapsing hists

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

When comparing entries for collapsing put the given entry first, and
then the iterated entry.  This is not the case of hist_entry__cmp()
when called if given sort keys don't require collapsing.  So change
the order for the sake of consistency.  It will be required for
matching and/or linking multiple hist entries.

[PATCH 2/3] perf hists: Link hist entries before inserting to an output tree

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

For matching and/or linking hist entries, they need to be sorted by
given sort keys.  However current hists__match/link did this on the
output trees, so that the entries in the output tree need to be resort
before doing it.

This looks not so good since we have trees for collecting or
collapsing entries before passing them to an output tree and they're
already sorted by the given sort keys.  Since we don't need to print
anything at the time of matching/linking, we can use these internal
trees directly instead of bothering with double resort on the output
tree.

Its only user - at the time of this writing - perf diff can be easily
converted to use the internal tree and can save some lines too by
getting rid of unnecessary resorting codes.

It seems we need to do output resort on baseline hists for
displacement prior to the match/link.  But AFAIK it's okay since the
resort doesn't make any change to the internal tree - i.e. every
entries in the internal tree remain as is and just linked to both of
internal and output tree using different keys.  So linking entries in
the internal tree after output resorting will not cause any harm IMHO.

[PATCH 3/3] perf diff: Use internal rb tree for compute resort

[Namhyung Kim]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

There's no reason to run hists_compute_resort() using output tree.
Convert it to use internal tree so that it can remove unnecessary
_output_resort.  Also move position computation below the resort since
it changes the output ordering.

[PATCH] perf test: Add a test case for hists__{match,link}

[Namhyung Kim]

As they are used from diff and event group report, add a test case to
verify their behaviors.

In this test I made a fake machine and two evsel.  Each evsel got 10
samples (so hist entries) - 5 are common and the rests are not.  So
after hists__match() both of them will have 5 entries with pair set.

And the second evsel has a collapsed entry so that the total number is
9 - I made it in order to simulate more realistic case.  Thus after
hists__link the first entry will have 14 entries - 5 are common (w/
pair), 5 are unmatch (w/o pair) and 4 are dummy (w/ pair).  And the
second entry will have 9 entries all have its pair.

Computing the position after hists__link screws up the position data,
because we likely have new entries in.

However, I wonder if anyone is actualy using displacement info..?

IIRC that was used long ago in the first version of 'perf diff', that
is not the default, probably we can just ditch it to simplify things,
can you check?

hum,

the point of the displacement is to show how far is the matching entry
in baseline wrt report output -> after hists__output_resort.. that goes
in opposite way of what we try do to in here.

Anyone else in favour of removing 'Displ.' column? ;-)

Oh, I somehow thought that the new dummy entries go into the baseline.
It's your change in the multi-diff patchset, not current code, right?

So we can change either the baseline to have dummies or skipping dummies
when computing their position.  Of course I have no objection to get rid
of the displacement logic completely too. :)

Thanks,

you're right, it's there since vert beggining.. and now it's gone ;) attached

Removing displacement output option. It seems not very useful,
because it's possible and event more convenient to lookup related
symbol by name. Also the output value for both 'baseline' and
'new' data is quite apparent from diff output.

And above all it complicates hist code factoring ;)

Ditching out PERF_HPP__DISPL column with related output functions.

Good, I'll send v3 soon based on this.

perf diff: Remove displacement output option

It seems not very useful, because it's possible and event more convenient to
lookup related symbol by name. Also the output value for both 'baseline' and
'new' data is quite apparent from diff output.

And above all it complicates hist code factoring ;)

Ditching out PERF_HPP__DISPL column with related output functions.
