And perf tool has 'weight' and 'local_weight' sort keys to display the info. But it's somewhat confusing what it shows exactly. In my understanding, 'local_weight' shows a weight in a single sample, and (global) 'weight' shows a sum of the weights in the hist_entry. For example: $ perf mem record -t load dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1M $ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight ... # # Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol Local Weight # ........ ....... ....... ................ ......................... ............ # 21.23% 313 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 32 12.43% 183 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 35 11.97% 159 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 36 10.40% 141 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_put_return 32 7.63% 113 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 33 6.37% 92 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 34 6.15% 90 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_put_return 33 ... So let's look at the 'lockref_get_not_zero' symbols. The top entry shows that 313 samples were captured with 'local_weight' 32, so the total weight should be 313 x 32 = 10016. But it's not the case: $ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight,weight -S lockref_get_not_zero ... # # Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Local Weight Weight # ........ ....... ....... ................ ............ ...... # 1.36% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144 0.47% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 37 148 0.42% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128 0.40% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 34 136 0.35% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144 0.34% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 35 140 0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144 0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 34 136 0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128 0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128 ... With the 'weight' sort key, it's divided to 4 samples even with the same info ('comm', 'dso', 'sym' and 'local_weight'). I don't think this is what we want. I found this because of the way it aggregates the 'weight' value. Since it's not a period, we should not add them in the he->stat. Otherwise, two 32 'weight' entries will create a 64 'weight' entry. After that, new 32 'weight' samples don't have a matching entry so it'd create a new entry and make it a 64 'weight' entry again and again. Later, they will be merged into 128 'weight' entries during the hists__collapse_resort() with 4 samples, multiple times like above. Let's keep the weight and display it differently. For 'local_weight', it can show the weight as is, and for (global) 'weight' it can display the number multiplied by the number of samples. With this change, I can see the expected numbers. $ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight,weight -S lockref_get_not_zero ... # # Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Local Weight Weight # ........ ....... ....... ................ ............ ..... # 21.23% 313 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 10016 12.43% 183 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 35 6405 11.97% 159 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 5724 7.63% 113 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 33 3729 6.37% 92 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 34 3128 4.17% 59 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 37 2183 0.08% 1 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 269 269 0.08% 1 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 38 38 Reviewed-by: Athira Jajeev Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Tested-by: Athira Jajeev Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211105225617.151364-1-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- diff --git a/tools/perf/util/hist.c b/tools/perf/util/hist.c index 65fe65b..4e9bd7b 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/hist.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/hist.c @@ -290,11 +290,9 @@ static long hist_time(unsigned long htime) } static void he_stat__add_period(struct he_stat *he_stat, u64 period, - u64 weight, u64 ins_lat, u64 p_stage_cyc) + u64 ins_lat, u64 p_stage_cyc) { - he_stat->period += period; - he_stat->weight += weight; he_stat->nr_events += 1; he_stat->ins_lat += ins_lat; he_stat->p_stage_cyc += p_stage_cyc; @@ -308,9 +306,8 @@ static void he_stat__add_stat(struct he_stat *dest, struct he_stat *src) dest->period_guest_sys += src->period_guest_sys; dest->period_guest_us += src->period_guest_us; dest->nr_events += src->nr_events; - dest->weight += src->weight; dest->ins_lat += src->ins_lat; - dest->p_stage_cyc += src->p_stage_cyc; + dest->p_stage_cyc += src->p_stage_cyc; } static void he_stat__decay(struct he_stat *he_stat) @@ -598,7 +595,6 @@ static struct hist_entry *hists__findnew_entry(struct hists *hists, struct hist_entry *he; int64_t cmp; u64 period = entry->stat.period; - u64 weight = entry->stat.weight; u64 ins_lat = entry->stat.ins_lat; u64 p_stage_cyc = entry->stat.p_stage_cyc; bool leftmost = true; @@ -619,11 +615,11 @@ static struct hist_entry *hists__findnew_entry(struct hists *hists, if (!cmp) { if (sample_self) { - he_stat__add_period(&he->stat, period, weight, ins_lat, p_stage_cyc); + he_stat__add_period(&he->stat, period, ins_lat, p_stage_cyc); hist_entry__add_callchain_period(he, period); } if (symbol_conf.cumulate_callchain) - he_stat__add_period(he->stat_acc, period, weight, ins_lat, p_stage_cyc); + he_stat__add_period(he->stat_acc, period, ins_lat, p_stage_cyc); /* * This mem info was allocated from sample__resolve_mem @@ -733,7 +729,6 @@ __hists__add_entry(struct hists *hists, .stat = { .nr_events = 1, .period = sample->period, - .weight = sample->weight, .ins_lat = sample->ins_lat, .p_stage_cyc = sample->p_stage_cyc, }, @@ -748,6 +743,7 @@ __hists__add_entry(struct hists *hists, .raw_size = sample->raw_size, .ops = ops, .time = hist_time(sample->time), + .weight = sample->weight, }, *he = hists__findnew_entry(hists, &entry, al, sample_self); if (!hists->has_callchains && he && he->callchain_size != 0) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/sort.c b/tools/perf/util/sort.c index 568a88c..903f34f 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/sort.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/sort.c @@ -1325,45 +1325,35 @@ struct sort_entry sort_mispredict = { .se_width_idx = HISTC_MISPREDICT, }; -static u64 he_weight(struct hist_entry *he) -{ - return he->stat.nr_events ?
