[PATCHSET v2 0/6] perf report: Make --stat output more compact

[Namhyung Kim]

Hello,

This patchset changes the output of perf report --stat.

Changes from v1)
 * fix build error in TUI  (Jiri)
 * print percentage of each event  (Andi)


The perf report --stat shows event statistics like below:

  $ perf report --stat

  Aggregated stats:
             TOTAL events:      20064
              MMAP events:        239
              LOST events:          0
              COMM events:       1518
              EXIT events:          1
          THROTTLE events:          0
        UNTHROTTLE events:          0
              FORK events:       1517
              READ events:          0
            SAMPLE events:       4015
             MMAP2 events:      12769
               AUX events:          0
      ITRACE_START events:          0
      LOST_SAMPLES events:          0
            SWITCH events:          0
   SWITCH_CPU_WIDE events:          0
        NAMESPACES events:          0
           KSYMBOL events:          0
         BPF_EVENT events:          0
            CGROUP events:          0
         TEXT_POKE events:          0
              ATTR events:          0
        EVENT_TYPE events:          0
      TRACING_DATA events:          0
          BUILD_ID events:          0
    FINISHED_ROUND events:          2
          ID_INDEX events:          0
     AUXTRACE_INFO events:          0
          AUXTRACE events:          0
    AUXTRACE_ERROR events:          0
        THREAD_MAP events:          1
           CPU_MAP events:          1
       STAT_CONFIG events:          0
              STAT events:          0
        STAT_ROUND events:          0
      EVENT_UPDATE events:          0
         TIME_CONV events:          1
           FEATURE events:          0
        COMPRESSED events:          0

But it's too long and mostly 0 so we can make it more compact.  Also
perf report -D has similar output at the end with each event's sample
count.  It'd be better if we can have the same output in both case.

So I added --skip-empty (and --no-skip-empty automatically) to suppres
the 0 output and add the event stats like below.

  $ perf report --stat --skip-empty
  
  Aggregated stats:
             TOTAL events:      20064
              MMAP events:        239  ( 1.2%)
              COMM events:       1518  ( 7.6%)
              EXIT events:          1  ( 0.0%)
              FORK events:       1517  ( 7.6%)
            SAMPLE events:       4015  (20.0%)
             MMAP2 events:      12769  (63.6%)
    FINISHED_ROUND events:          2  ( 0.0%)
        THREAD_MAP events:          1  ( 0.0%)
           CPU_MAP events:          1  ( 0.0%)
         TIME_CONV events:          1  ( 0.0%)
  cycles stats:
            SAMPLE events:       2475
  instructions stats:
            SAMPLE events:       1540


And I make it enabled by default with a new config option
report.skip-empty to change the behavior if needed.

Thanks,
Namhyung

[PATCH v2 1/6] perf top: Use evlist->events_stat to count events

[Namhyung Kim]

It's mainly to count lost events for the warning so it should be ok
to use the evlist->stats instead.  This is needed for changes in the
next commit.

[PATCH v2 2/6] perf hists: Split hists_stats from events_stats

[Namhyung Kim]

Each struct hists have events_stats but most of the fields were not
used.  It's to count number of samples and periods whether filtered or
not.  And other fields are used only by evlist.

So it'd be better to split hists_stats and events_stats to reduce
wasted memory in the struct hists.  This makes the output of event
statistics in the perf report compact by skipping 0 events in each
evsel/hists.

[PATCH v2 3/6] perf report: Show event sample counts in --stat output

[Namhyung Kim]

To make the output identical with perf report -D, it needs to show
per-event sample counts along with the aggregated stat  at the end.

[PATCH v2 4/6] perf report: Add --skip-empty option to suppress 0 event stat

[Namhyung Kim]

To make the output more readable, I think it's better to remove 0's in
the output.  Also the dummy event has no event stats so it just wasts
the space.  Let's use the --skip-empty option to suppress it.

  $ perf report --stat --skip-empty

  Aggregated stats:
             TOTAL events:      16530
              MMAP events:        226
              COMM events:       1596
              EXIT events:          2
          THROTTLE events:        121
        UNTHROTTLE events:        117
              FORK events:       1595
            SAMPLE events:        719
             MMAP2 events:      12147
            CGROUP events:          2
    FINISHED_ROUND events:          2
        THREAD_MAP events:          1
           CPU_MAP events:          1
         TIME_CONV events:          1
  cycles stats:
            SAMPLE events:        719

[PATCH v2 5/6] perf report: Make --skip-empty as default

[Namhyung Kim]

so that the compact output is shown by default.  Also add
'report.skip-empty' config option to override the default.
Users can also use --no-skip-empty command line option to
change the behavior anytime.

It's sometimes useful to see how many samples vs other events in the

              EXIT events:          1  ( 0.0%)
              FORK events:       1517  ( 7.6%)
            SAMPLE events:       4015  (20.0%)
             MMAP2 events:      12769  (63.6%)
    FINISHED_ROUND events:          2  ( 0.0%)
        THREAD_MAP events:          1  ( 0.0%)
