[PATCHSET 0/6] perf mem: Basic support for data type profiling (v1)

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Jul 31 2024 - 19:55:17 EST


Hello,

As we added data type profiling, 'perf mem report' should support that
as well. This patches just added a couple of convenient options.

$ perf mem report -T -s mem
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 131 of event 'cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P'
# Total weight : 18561
# Sort order : mem,type
#
# Overhead Samples Memory access Data Type
# ........ ............ ....................................... .........

7.68% 8 LFB/MAB hit (unknown)
6.29% 12 L1 hit (stack operation)
3.97% 5 LFB/MAB hit struct psi_group_cpu
3.69% 3 L1 hit struct
3.18% 3 LFB/MAB hit (stack operation)

2.58% 3 L1 hit unsigned int
2.31% 2 L1 hit struct psi_group_cpu
2.21% 2 LFB/MAB hit struct cfs_rq
2.19% 2 RAM hit struct sched_entity
2.16% 1 L1 hit struct task_struct
1.85% 3 L1 hit struct pcpu_hot
1.78% 1 RAM hit struct tss_struct
1.72% 1 LFB/MAB hit struct mm_struct
1.62% 2 L1 hit struct psi_group

The code is also available at 'perf/mem-type-v1' branch in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Thanks,
