[PATCH 4/4] perf, tools: Add perf stat --transaction v5
From: Andi Kleen
Date: Thu Sep 05 2013 - 23:37:51 EST
From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add support to perf stat to print the basic transactional execution statistics:
Total cycles, Cycles in Transaction, Cycles in aborted transsactions
using the in_tx and in_tx_checkpoint qualifiers.
Transaction Starts and Elision Starts, to compute the average transaction
length.
This is a reasonable overview over the success of the transactions.
Also support architectures that have a transaction aborted cycles
counter like POWER8. Since that is awkward to handle in the kernel
abstract handle both cases here.
Enable with a new --transaction / -T option.
This requires measuring these events in a group, since they depend on each
other.
This is implemented by using TM sysfs events exported by the kernel
v2: Only print the extended statistics when the option is enabled.
This avoids negative output when the user specifies the -T events
in separate groups.
v3: Port to latest tree
v4: Remove merge error. Avoid linear walks for comparisons. Check
transaction_run earlier. Minor fixes.
v5: Move option to avoid conflict. Improve description.
