[PATCH V7 0/8] Freq/CPU%/CORE_BUSY% support

From: Kan Liang
Date: Fri Aug 28 2015 - 13:04:07 EST


This patch set supports per-sample freq/CPU%/CORE_BUSY% print in perf
report -D and --stdio.
For printing these information, the perf.data file must have been obtained
by group read and using special events cycles, ref-cycles, msr/tsc/,
msr/aperf/ or msr/mperf/.

- Freq (MHz): The frequency during the sample interval. Needs cycles
ref-cycles event.
- CPU%: CPU utilization during the sample interval. Needs ref-cycles and
msr/tsc/ events.
- CORE_BUSY%: actual percent performance (APERF/MPERF%) during the
sample interval. Needs msr/aperf/ and msr/mperf/ events.

Here is an example:

$ perf record -e
'{cycles,ref-cycles,msr/tsc/,msr/mperf/,msr/aperf/}:S' ~/tchain_edit

$ perf report --stdio --group --show-freq-perf

Changes since V1:
- Save cpu max freq to header when recording
- Read cpu max freq and msr type from header when reporting

Changes since V2:
- Introduce generic FEAT for CPU related data stored
- Make cpu max freq and msr type part of perf_session_env
- rename cpu_u to cpu_util
- Don't save sample value in perf_sample and discards new iterator.
Calculating the freq_perf_info in add_entry_cb callback
- Introduce symbol_conf.freq_perf_type for related hpp column visibility

Changes since V3:
- add a identifier 'tag' for CPU attributes, max frequency.
- add backpointers to evlist for env, and evsel for evlist.
- Use bitmask for freq_perf_type
- Replace macros by functions to caculate freq, cpu_util and core_busy
- Move all caculation codes under symbol_conf.show_freq_perf condition.

Changes since V4:
- Store cpu attributes id as tag and more readable cpu_attr

Changes since V5:
- Rename freq to max_freq and use it
- Add a loop in process_cpu_attributes to facility future extension

Changes since V6:
- Split rename perf_session_env and add backpointer to evlist patches

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo (1):
perf evsel: Add a backpointer to the evlist a evsel is in

Kan Liang (7):
perf,tools: introduce generic FEAT for CPU attributes
perf,tools: read msr pmu type from header.
perf,tools: rename perf_session_env to perf_env
perf,tools: add backpointer for perf_env to evlist
perf,tools: Dump per-sample freq/CPU%/CORE_BUSY% in report -D
perf,tools: caculate and save freq/CPU%/CORE_BUSY% in he_stat
perf,tools: Show freq/CPU%/CORE_BUSY% in perf report --stdio
