Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] perf stat: Use proper cpu for shadow stats
Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2020 13:14:03 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201127041404.390276-1-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

Currently perf stat shows some metrics (like IPC) for defined events.
But when no aggregation mode is used (-A option), it shows incorrect
values since it used a value from a different cpu.

Before:

  $ perf stat -aA -e cycles,instructions sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  CPU0      116,057,380      cycles
  CPU1       86,084,722      cycles
  CPU2       99,423,125      cycles
  CPU3       98,272,994      cycles
  CPU0       53,369,217      instructions      #    0.46  insn per cycle
  CPU1       33,378,058      instructions      #    0.29  insn per cycle
  CPU2       58,150,086      instructions      #    0.50  insn per cycle
  CPU3       40,029,703      instructions      #    0.34  insn per cycle

       1.001816971 seconds time elapsed

So the IPC for CPU1 should be 0.38 (= 33,378,058 / 86,084,722)
but it was 0.29 (= 33,378,058 / 116,057,380) and so on.

After:

  $ perf stat -aA -e cycles,instructions sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  CPU0      109,621,384      cycles
  CPU1      159,026,454      cycles
  CPU2       99,460,366      cycles
  CPU3      124,144,142      cycles
  CPU0       44,396,706      instructions      #    0.41  insn per cycle
  CPU1      120,195,425      instructions      #    0.76  insn per cycle
  CPU2       44,763,978      instructions      #    0.45  insn per cycle
  CPU3       69,049,079      instructions      #    0.56  insn per cycle

       1.001910444 seconds time elapsed
