      perf stat: Add interval printing · 13370a9b
      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This patch adds a new printing mode for perf stat.  It allows interval
printing. That means perf stat can now print event deltas at regular
time interval.  This is useful to detect phases in programs.

The -I option enables interval printing. It expects an interval duration
in milliseconds. Minimum is 100ms. Once, activated perf stat prints
events deltas since last printout. All modes are supported.

$ perf stat -I 1000 -e cycles noploop 10
noploop for 10 seconds
 #           time             counts events
      1.000109853      2,388,560,546 cycles
      2.000262846      2,393,332,358 cycles
      3.000354131      2,393,176,537 cycles
      4.000439503      2,393,203,790 cycles
      5.000527075      2,393,167,675 cycles
      6.000609052      2,393,203,670 cycles
      7.000691082      2,393,175,678 cycles

The output format makes it easy to feed into a plotting program such as
gnuplot when the -I option is used in combination with the -x option:

$ perf stat -x, -I 1000 -e cycles noploop 10
noploop for 10 seconds
1.000084113,2378775498,cycles
2.000245798,2391056897,cycles
3.000354445,2392089414,cycles
4.000459115,2390936603,cycles

      Stephane Eranian authored 
      This field will be used by commands which print counter deltas on
regular timer intervals, such as perf stat -I.

      perf tools: Make numa benchmark optional · 79d824e3
      Peter Hurley authored 
      Commit "perf: Add 'perf bench numa mem'..." added a NUMA performance
benchmark to perf. Make this optional and test for required
dependencies.

      perf: Add 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite · 1c13f3c9
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Add a suite of NUMA performance benchmarks.

The goal was simulate the behavior and access patterns of real NUMA
workloads, via a wide range of parameters, so this tool goes well
beyond simple bzero() measurements that most NUMA micro-benchmarks use:

 - It processes the data and creates a chain of data dependencies,
   like a real workload would. Neither the compiler, nor the
   kernel (via KSM and other optimizations) nor the CPU can
   eliminate parts of the workload.

 - It randomizes the initial state and also randomizes the target
   addresses of the processing - it's not a simple forward scan
   of addresses.

 - It provides flexible options to set process, thread and memory
   relationship information: -G sets "global" memory shared between
   all test processes, -P sets "process" memory shared by all
   threads of a process and -T sets "thread" private memory.

 - There's a NUMA convergence monitoring and convergence latency
   measurement option via -c and -m.

 - Micro-sleeps and synchronization can be injected to provoke lock
   contention and scheduling, via the -u and -S options. This simulates
   IO and contention.

 - The -x option instructs the workload to 'perturb' itself artificially
   every N seconds, by moving to the first and last CPU of the system
   periodically. This way the stability of convergence equilibrium and
   the number of steps taken for the scheduler to reach equilibrium again
   can be measured.

 - The amount of work can be specified via the -l loop count, and/or
   via a -s seconds-timeout value.

 - CPU and node memory binding options, to test hard binding scenarios.
   THP can be turned on and off via madvise() calls.

 - Live reporting of convergence progress in an 'at glance' output format.
   Printing of convergence and deconvergence events.

The 'perf bench numa mem -a' option will start an array of about 30
individual tests that will each output such measurements:

 # Running  5x5-bw-thread, "perf bench numa mem -p 5 -t 5 -P 512 -s 20 -zZ0q --thp  1"
