[PATCHSET v4 0/6] perf inject: Speed build-id injection

[Namhyung Kim]

Hello,

This is the new version of speed up build-id injection.  As this is
to improve performance, I've added a benchmark for it.  Please look at
the usage in the first commit.

By default, it measures average processing time of 100 MMAP2 events
and 10000 SAMPLE events.  Below is the current result on my laptop.

  $ perf bench internals inject-build-id
  # Running 'internals/inject-build-id' benchmark:
    Average build-id injection took: 25.789 msec (+- 0.202 msec)
    Average time per event: 2.528 usec (+- 0.020 usec)
    Average memory usage: 8411 KB (+- 7 KB)

With this patchset applied, it got this:

  $ perf bench internals inject-build-id
  # Running 'internals/inject-build-id' benchmark:
    Average build-id injection took: 20.838 msec (+- 0.093 msec)
    Average time per event: 2.043 usec (+- 0.009 usec)
    Average memory usage: 8261 KB (+- 0 KB)
    Average build-id-all injection took: 19.361 msec (+- 0.118 msec)
    Average time per event: 1.898 usec (+- 0.012 usec)
    Average memory usage: 7440 KB (+- 0 KB)


Real usecases might be different as it depends on the number of
mmap/sample events as well as how many DSOs are actually hit.

The benchmark result now includes memory footprint in terms of maximum
RSS.  Also I've update the benchmark code to use timestamp so that it
can be queued to the ordered_events (and flushed at the end).  It's
also important how well it sorts the input events in the queue so I
randomly chose a timestamp at the beginning of each MMAP event
injection to resemble actual behavior.

As I said in other thread, perf inject currently doesn't flush the
input events and processes all at the end.  This gives a good speedup
but spends more memory (in proprotion to the input size).  While the
build-id-all injection bypasses the queue so it uses less memory as
well as faster processing.  The downside is that it'll mark all DSOs
as hit so later processing steps (like perf report) likely handle them
unnecessarily.


This code is available at 'perf/inject-speedup-v4' branch on

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git


Changes from v3:
 - add timestamp to the synthesized events in the benchmark
 - add a separate thread to read pipe in the benchmark

Changes from v2:
 - fix benchmark to read required data
 - add Acked-by from Jiri and Ian
 - pass map flag to check huge pages  (Jiri)
 - add comments on some functions  (Ian)
 - show memory (max-RSS) usage in the benchmark  (Ian)
 - drop build-id marking patch at the last  (Adrian)
