Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Don't compute events that won't be used in a metric.
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2020 21:03:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201118050335.2347358-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

    
For a metric like:
  EVENT1 if #smt_on else EVENT2
    
currently EVENT1 and EVENT2 will be measured and then when the metric
is reported EVENT1 or EVENT2 will be printed depending on the value
from smt_on() during the expr parsing. Computing both events is
unnecessary and can lead to multiplexing as discussed in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201110100346.2527031-1-irogers@google.com/

This change modifies expression parsing so that constants are
considered when building the set of ids (events) and only events not
contributing to a constant value are measured.

v2. is a rebase.

Ian Rogers (5):
  perf metric: Restructure struct expr_parse_ctx.
  perf metric: Use NAN for missing event IDs.
  perf metric: Rename expr__find_other.
  perf metric: Add utilities to work on ids map.
  perf metric: Don't compute unused events.
