perf stat: Take cgroups into account for shadow stats

2021-01-15T20:28:27+00:00

As of now it doesn't consider cgroups when collecting shadow stats and
metrics so counter values from different cgroups will be saved in a same
slot.  This resulted in incorrect numbers when those cgroups have
different workloads.

For example, let's look at the scenario below: cgroups A and C runs same
workload which burns a cpu while cgroup B runs a light workload.

  $ perf stat -a -e cycles,instructions --for-each-cgroup A,B,C  sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

     3,958,116,522      cycles                A
     6,722,650,929      instructions          A #    2.53  insn per cycle
         1,132,741      cycles                B
           571,743      instructions          B #    0.00  insn per cycle
     4,007,799,935      cycles                C
     6,793,181,523      instructions          C #    2.56  insn per cycle

       1.001050869 seconds time elapsed

When I run 'perf stat' with single workload, it usually shows IPC around
1.7.  We can verify it (6,722,650,929.0 / 3,958,116,522 = 1.698) for cgroup A.

But in this case, since cgroups are ignored, cycles are averaged so it
used the lower value for IPC calculation and resulted in around 2.5.

  avg cycle: (3958116522 + 1132741 + 4007799935) / 3 = 2655683066
  IPC (A)  :  6722650929 / 2655683066 = 2.531
  IPC (B)  :      571743 / 2655683066 = 0.0002
  IPC (C)  :  6793181523 / 2655683066 = 2.557

We can simply compare cgroup pointers in the evsel and it'll be NULL
when cgroups are not specified.  With this patch, I can see correct
numbers like below:

  $ perf stat -a -e cycles,instructions --for-each-cgroup A,B,C  sleep 1

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

     4,171,051,687      cycles                A
     7,219,793,922      instructions          A #    1.73  insn per cycle
         1,051,189      cycles                B
           583,102      instructions          B #    0.55  insn per cycle
     4,171,124,710      cycles                C
     7,192,944,580      instructions          C #    1.72  insn per cycle

       1.007909814 seconds time elapsed

perf stat: Introduce struct runtime_stat_data

2021-01-15T20:28:27+00:00

To pass more info to the saved_value in the runtime_stat, add a new
struct runtime_stat_data.  Currently it only has 'ctx' field but later
patch will add more.

Note that we intentionally pass 0 as ctx to clock-related events for
compatibility.  It was already there in a few places.  So move the code
into the saved_value_lookup() explicitly and add a comment.

perf stat: Support new per thread TopDown metrics

2020-09-17T18:48:08+00:00

Icelake has support for reporting per thread TopDown metrics.

These are reported differently than the previous TopDown support,
each metric is standalone, but scaled to pipeline "slots".

We don't need to do anything special for HyperThreading anymore.
Teach perf stat --topdown to handle these new metrics and
print them in the same way as the previous TopDown metrics.

The restrictions of only being able to report information per core is
gone.

perf stat: Fix the ratio comments of miss-events

2020-09-16T13:54:02+00:00

'perf stat' displays miss ratio of L1-dcache, L1-icache, dTLB cache,
iTLB cache and LL-cache. Take L1-dcache for example, miss ratio is
caculated as "L1-dcache-load-misses/L1-dcache-loads". So "of all
L1-dcache hits" is unsuitable to describe it, and "of all L1-dcache
accesses" seems better.

The comments of L1-icache, dTLB cache, iTLB cache and LL-cache are
fixed in the same way.
