perf target: Shorten perf_target to target

2013-11-12T19:51:03+00:00

Getting unwieldly long, for this app domain should be descriptive enough
and the use of __ to separate the class from the method names should
help with avoiding clashes with other code bases.

perf stat: Enhance option parse error message

2013-11-04T15:57:36+00:00

Print related option help messages only when it failed to process
options.  While at it, modify parse_options_usage() to skip usage part
so that it can be used for showing multiple option help messages
naturally like below:

  $ perf stat -Bx, ls
  -B option not supported with -x

   usage: perf stat [] []

      -B, --big-num         print large numbers with thousands' separators
      -x, --field-separator 
                            print counts with custom separator

perf stat: Add units to nanosec-based counters

2013-10-11T15:17:46+00:00

Ingo pointed out that the task-clock counter should have the units
explicitly stated since it is not a counter.

Before:

perf stat -a -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

      16186.874834 task-clock          #   16.154 CPUs utilized
...

After:

perf stat -a -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

      16146.402138 task-clock (msec)   #   16.125 CPUs utilized
...

perf stat: Don't require a workload when using system wide or CPU options

2013-10-11T15:17:44+00:00

The "perf stat" command can do system wide counters or one or more cpus.
For these options do not require a workload to be specified.

v2: use perf_target__none per Namhyung's comment.

perf stat: Fix misleading message when specifying cpu list or system wide

2013-10-11T15:17:42+00:00

The "perf stat" tool displays the command run in its summary output
which is misleading when using a cpu list or system wide collection.

Before:

perf stat -a -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

16152.670249 task-clock                #   16.132 CPUs utilized
         417 context-switches          #    0.002 M/sec
           7 cpu-migrations            #    0.030 K/sec
...

After:

perf stat -a -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

16206.931120 task-clock                #   16.144 CPUs utilized
         395 context-switches          #    0.002 M/sec
           5 cpu-migrations            #    0.030 K/sec
...

or

perf stat -C1 -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 1':

   1001.669257 task-clock                #    1.000 CPUs utilized
         4,264 context-switches          #    0.004 M/sec
             3 cpu-migrations            #    0.003 K/sec

perf stat: Don't print bogus data on -e instructions

2013-10-11T15:17:35+00:00

When only the instructions event is requested:

$ perf stat -e instructions git s
M  builtin-stat.c

 Performance counter stats for 'git s':

       917,453,420 instructions              #    0.00  insns per cycle

       0.213002926 seconds time elapsed

The 0.00 insns per cycle comment in the output is totally bogus and
misleading. It happens because update_shadow_stats() doesn't touch
runtime_cycles_stats when only the instructions event is requested. So,
omit printing the bogus data altogether.

perf stat: Don't print bogus data on -e cycles

2013-10-11T15:17:33+00:00

When only the cycles event is requested:

$ perf stat -e cycles dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000000
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
512000000 bytes (512 MB) copied, 0.26123 s, 2.0 GB/s

 Performance counter stats for 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000000':

       911,626,453 cycles                    #    0.000 GHz

       0.262113350 seconds time elapsed

The 0.000 GHz comment in the output is totally bogus and misleading. It
happens because update_shadow_stats() doesn't touch runtime_nsecs_stats;
it is only written when a requested counter matches a SW_TASK_CLOCK. In
our case, since we have only requested HW_CPU_CYCLES,
runtime_nsecs_stats is unavailable. So, omit printing the comment
altogether.

tools/perf/stat: Add perf stat --transaction

2013-10-04T08:06:07+00:00

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
