From 374ce938aaeb481114b2a8fdedd261f9b2ff9b2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Nan Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2015 10:55:02 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Enable pre-event inherit setting by config terms This patch allows perf record setting event's attr.inherit bit by config terms like: # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ ... # perf record -e cycles/inherit/ ... So user can control inherit bit for each event separately. In following example, a.out fork()s in main then do some complex CPU intensive computations in both of its children. Basic result with and without inherit: # perf record -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.205 MB perf.data (47920 samples) ] # perf report --stdio # ... # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 23641752891 ... # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions' # Event count (approx.): 30428312415 # perf record -i -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.111 MB perf.data (24019 samples) ] ... # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 11699501775 ... # Samples: 12K of event 'instructions' # Event count (approx.): 15058023559 Cancel inherit for one event when globally enable: # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.660 MB perf.data (36004 samples) ] ... # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles/no-inherit/' # Event count (approx.): 11895759282 ... # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions' # Event count (approx.): 30668000441 Enable inherit for one event when globally disable: # perf record -i -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.654 MB perf.data (35868 samples) ] ... # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles/inherit/' # Event count (approx.): 23285400229 ... # Samples: 11K of event 'instructions' # Event count (approx.): 14969050259 Committer note: One can check if the bit was set, in addition to seeing the result in the perf.data file size as above by doing one of: # perf record -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.911 MB perf.data (63 samples) ] # perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 # So, the inherit bit was set in both, now, if we disable it globally using --no-inherit: # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.910 MB perf.data (56 samples) ] # perf evlist -v cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 No inherit bit set, then disabling it and setting just on the cycles event: # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.909 MB perf.data (48 samples) ] # perf evlist -v cycles/inherit/: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 # We can see it as well in by using a more verbose level of debug messages in the tool that sets up the perf_event_attr, 'perf record' in this case: [root@zoo ~]# perf record -vv --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 112 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD read_format ID disabled 1 inherit 1 mmap 1 comm 1 freq 1 task 1 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 2 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 3 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 112 config 0x1 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD read_format ID disabled 1 freq 1 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Brendan Gregg Cc: David S.
