[PATCHv3 00/56] perf stat: Add scripting support

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Tue Oct 06 2015 - 15:55:46 EST


hi,
sending another version of stat scripting.

v3 changes:
- added attr update event to handle unit,scale,name for event
it fixed the uncore_imc_1/cas_count_read/ record/report
- perf report -D now displays stat related events
- some minor and changelog fixes

v2 changes:
- rebased to latest Arnaldo's perf/core
- patches 1 to 11 already merged in
- added --per-core/--per-socket/-A options for perf stat report
command to allow custom aggregation in stat report, please
check new examples below
- couple changelogs changes

The initial attempt defined its own formula lang and allowed
triggering user's script on the end of the stat command:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136742146322273&w=2

This patchset abandons the idea of new formula language
and rather adds support to:
- store stat data into perf.data file
- add python support to process stat events

Basically it allows to store stat data into perf.data and
post process it with python scripts in a similar way we
do for sampling data.

The stat data are stored in new stat, stat-round, stat-config user events.
stat - stored for each read syscall of the counter
stat round - stored for each interval or end of the command invocation
stat config - stores all the config information needed to process data
so report tool could restore the same output as record

The python script can now define 'stat__<eventname>_<modifier>' functions
to get stat events data and 'stat__interval' to get stat-round data.

See CPI script example in scripts/python/stat-cpi.py.

$ perf stat record kill
...

Performance counter stats for 'kill':

- To store system-wide period stat data:

$ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u -a -I 1000 record
# time counts unit events

3.213960893 135,954,296 instructions:u

- To report perf stat data:

$ perf stat report
# time counts unit events
1.000265471 462,311,482 cycles:u (100.00%)
1.000265471 590,037,440 instructions:u

3.213960893 135,954,296 instructions:u

- To run stat-cpi.py script over perf.data:

$ perf script -s scripts/python/stat-cpi.py
1.000265: cpu -1, thread -1 -> cpi 0.783529 (462311482/590037440)

3.213961: cpu -1, thread -1 -> cpi 0.627634 (85329533/135954296)

- To pipe data from stat to stat-cpi script:

$ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u -A -C 0 -I 1000 record | perf script -s scripts/python/stat-cpi.py
1.000192: cpu 0, thread -1 -> cpi 0.739535 (23921908/32347236)
