perf stat: Use affinity for opening events

2019-11-29T15:20:45+00:00

Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events
by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU.

This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API.

We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead
of leaving that to low level functions.

It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly.  Since we
cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to
a separate loop.

Before with a large test case with 94 CPUs:

  % time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
  ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
   42.75    4.050910          67     60046       110 perf_event_open

After:

   26.86    0.944396          16     58069       110 perf_event_open

(the number changes slightly because the weak group retries
work differently and the test case relies on weak groups)

Committer notes:

Added one of the hunks in a patch provided by Andi after I noticed that
the "event times" 'perf test' entry was segfaulting.

perf stat: Add --per-node agregation support

2019-11-06T18:49:39+00:00

Adding new --per-node option to aggregate counts per NUMA
nodes for system-wide mode measurements.

You can specify --per-node in live mode:

  # perf stat  -a -I 1000 -e cycles --per-node
  #           time node   cpus             counts unit events
       1.000542550 N0       20          6,202,097      cycles

perf stat: Support --all-kernel/--all-user

2019-10-15T11:39:42+00:00

'perf record' has supported --all-kernel / --all-user to configure all
used events to run in kernel space or run in user space. But 'perf stat'
doesn't support these options.

It would be useful to support these options in 'perf stat' too to keep
the same semantics available in both tools.

perf stat: Reset previous counts on repeat with interval

2019-09-20T13:28:26+00:00

When using 'perf stat' with repeat and interval option, it shows wrong
values for events.

The wrong values will be shown for the first interval on the second and
subsequent repetitions.

prev_raw_counts is allocated when using intervals. This is used when
calculating the difference in the counts of events when using interval.

The current counts are stored in prev_raw_counts to calculate the
differences in the next iteration.

On the first interval of the second and subsequent repetitions,
prev_raw_counts would be the values stored in the last interval of the
previous repetitions, while the current counts will only be for the
first interval of the current repetition.

Hence there is a possibility of events showing up as big number.

Fix this by resetting prev_raw_counts whenever perf stat repeats the
command.

With the fix:

Committer notes:

This was broken since the cset introducing the --interval feature, i.e.
--repeat + --interval wasn't tested at that point, add the Fixes tag so
that automatic scripts can pick this up.
