[PATCH v3] tools/perf/metricgroup: Fix printing event names of metric group with multiple events incase of overlapping events
From: Kajol Jain
Date: Fri Jan 31 2020 - 00:25:47 EST
Commit f01642e4912b ("perf metricgroup: Support multiple
events for metricgroup") introduced support for multiple events
in a metric group. But with the current upstream, metric events
names are not printed properly incase we try to run multiple
metric groups with overlapping event.
With current upstream version, incase of overlapping metric events
issue is, we always start our comparision logic from start.
So, the events which already matched with some metric group also
take part in comparision logic. Because of that when we have overlapping
events, we end up matching current metric group event with already matched
one.
For example, in skylake machine we have metric event CoreIPC and
Instructions. Both of them need 'inst_retired.any' event value.
As events in Instructions is subset of events in CoreIPC, they
endup in pointing to same 'inst_retired.any' value.
In skylake platform:
command:# ./perf stat -M CoreIPC,Instructions -C 0 sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':
1,254,992,790 inst_retired.any # 1254992790.0
Instructions
# 1.3 CoreIPC
977,172,805 cycles
1,254,992,756 inst_retired.any
1.000802596 seconds time elapsed
command:# sudo ./perf stat -M UPI,IPC sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
948,650 uops_retired.retire_slots
866,182 inst_retired.any # 0.7 IPC
866,182 inst_retired.any
1,175,671 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread
Patch fixes the issue by adding a new array 'evlist_used' to keep track of
events which already matched with some group by setting it true.
So, we skip all used events in list when we start comparision logic.
Patch also make some changes in comparision logic, incase we get a match
miss, we discard the whole match and start again with first event id in
metric event.
With this patch:
In skylake platform:
command:# ./perf stat -M CoreIPC,Instructions -C 0 sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':
3,348,415 inst_retired.any # 0.3 CoreIPC
11,779,026 cycles
3,348,381 inst_retired.any # 3348381.0
Instructions
1.001649056 seconds time elapsed
command:# ./perf stat -M UPI,IPC sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1,023,148 uops_retired.retire_slots # 1.1 UPI
924,976 inst_retired.any
924,976 inst_retired.any # 0.6 IPC
1,489,414 cpu_clk_unhalted.thread

Changelog:
v2 -> v3
- Add array in place of variable to keep track of matched events.
Because incase we miss match in previous approach, all events will
be rolled over in next condition. So, rather we add array and set
it incase that variable already match with some group.
- Suggested by Jiri Olsa
v1 -> v2
- Rather then adding static variable in metricgroup.c,
add a new variable in evlist itself with name 'evlist_iter'
