* perf python scripting: Append examples to err msg about audit-libs-pythonTaeung Song2016-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To print syscall names, the audit-libs-python package is required.. If not installed, it prints this error string: # perf script syscall-counts Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names. But the package name is different in Ubuntu, mention that in the error message, similar to a error message of util/trace-event-scripting.c: # perf script syscall-counts Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names. For example: # apt-get install python-audit (Ubuntu) # yum install audit-libs-python (Fedora) etc. Signed-off-by: Taeung Song <treeze.taeung@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1455018790-13425-1-git-send-email-treeze.taeung@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
* perf script: Add stat-cpi.py scriptJiri Olsa2016-01-06

It computes the CPI metrics from cycles and instructions events. The CPI is based performance metric showing the Cycles Per Instructions ratio, which helps to identify cycles-hungry code.

* perf scripts python: Add new compaction-times scriptTony Jones2015-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates a new script (compaction-times) to report time spent in mm compaction. It is possible to report times in nanoseconds (default) or microseconds (-u). The option -p will break down results by process id, -pv will further decompose by each compaction entry/exit. For each compaction entry/exit what is reported is controlled by the options: -t report only timing -m report migration stats -ms report migration scanner stats -fs report free scanner stats The default is to report all. Entries may be further filtered by pid, pid-range or comm (regex). The script is useful when analysing workloads that compact memory. The most common example will be THP allocations on systems with a lot of uptime that has fragmented memory. This is an example of using the script to analyse a thpscale from mmtests which deliberately fragments memory and allocates THP in 4 separate threads # Recording step, one of the following; $ perf record -e 'compaction:mm_compaction_*' ./workload # or: $ perf script record compaction-times # Reporting: basic total: 2444505743ns migration: moved=357738 failed=39275 free_scanner: scanned=2705578 isolated=387875 migration_scanner: scanned=414426 isolated=397013 # Reporting: Per task stall times $ perf script report compaction-times -- -t -p total: 2444505743ns 6384[thpscale]: 740800017ns 6385[thpscale]: 274119512ns 6386[thpscale]: 832961337ns 6383[thpscale]: 596624877ns # Reporting: Per-compaction attempts for task 6385 $ perf script report compaction-times -- -m -pv 6385 total: 274119512ns migration: moved=14893 failed=24285 6385[thpscale]: 274119512ns migration: moved=14893 failed=24285 6385[thpscale].1: 3033277ns migration: moved=511 failed=1 6385[thpscale].2: 9592094ns migration: moved=1524 failed=12 6385[thpscale].3: 2495587ns migration: moved=512 failed=0 6385[thpscale].4: 2561766ns migration: moved=512 failed=0 6385[thpscale].5: 2523521ns migration: moved=512 failed=0 ..... output continues ...

The script requires the Python pyside module and the Qt PostgreSQL driver. The packages needed are probably named "python-pyside" and "libqt4-sql-psql" The caller of the script must be able to create postgresql databases. The script takes the database name as a parameter. The database and database tables are created. Data is written to flat files which are then imported using SQL COPY FROM.

This script is just a simple sample to show how to gather the basic information of the events and analyze them. This script will create one object for each event sample and insert them into a table in a database, then leverage the simple SQL commands to sort/group them. User can modify or write their brand new functions according to their specific requirment. Here is the sample of how to use the script: $ perf record -a tree $ perf script -s process_event.py There is 100 records in gen_events table Statistics about the general events grouped by thread/symbol/dso: comm number histgram ========================================== swapper 56 ###### tree 20 ##### perf 10 #### sshd 8 #### kworker/7:2 4 ### ksoftirqd/7 1 # plugin-containe 1 # symbol number histgram ========================================================== native_write_msr_safe 40 ###### __lock_acquire 8 #### ftrace_graph_caller 4 ### prepare_ftrace_return 4 ### intel_idle 3 ## native_sched_clock 3 ## Unknown_symbol 2 ## do_softirq 2 ## lock_release 2 ## lock_release_holdtime 2 ## trace_graph_entry 2 ## _IO_putc 1 # __d_lookup_rcu 1 # __do_fault 1 # __schedule 1 # _raw_spin_lock 1 # delay_tsc 1 # generic_exec_single 1 # generic_fillattr 1 # dso number histgram ================================================================== [kernel.kallsyms] 95 ####### /lib/libc-2.12.1.so 5 ### Signed-off-by: Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1344419875-21665-6-git-send-email-feng.tang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
* perf scripts python: Add a python library EventClass.pyFeng Tang2012-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This library defines several class types for perf events which could help to better analyze the event samples. Currently there are just a few classes, PerfEvent is the base class for all perf events, PebsEvent is a HW base Intel x86 PEBS event, and user could add more SW/HW event classes based on requriements.

* perf script: Add drop monitor scriptNeil Horman2011-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A while back I created the dropmonitor protocol, which allowed users to get reports of dropped frames communicated to them via a netlink socket. While useful, several people have now asked that I integrate the ability to do drop monitoring with perf, so they don't have to run additional tools. This patch adds a drop monitor script to the perf suite, and provides the same output that the netlink socket does.
