      perf diff: Make diff command work with evsel hists · 863e451f
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Putting 'perf diff' command back on track with the 'latest'
      evsel hists changes. Each evsel has its own 'hists' object
      gathering stats for the particular event.
      
      While currently counts are accumulated for the whole session
      regardless of the events diversification within compared
      sessions.
      
      The 'perf diff' command now outputs all matching events within
      compared sessions (with event name specified). The per event
      diff output stays the same.
      
        $ ./perf diff
        # Event 'cycles'
        #
        # Baseline  Delta          Shared Object                          Symbol

      perf symbols: Add symfs option for off-box analysis using specified tree · ec5761ea
      David Ahern authored
      The symfs argument allows analysis of perf.data file using a locally accessible
      filesystem tree with debug symbols - e.g., tree created during image builds,
      sshfs mount, loop mounted KVM disk images, USB keys, initrds, etc. Anything
      with an OS tree can be analyzed from anywhere without the need to populate a
      local data store with build-ids.
      
      Commiter notes:
      
      o Fixed up symfs="/" variants handling.
      
      o prefixed DSO__ORIG_GUEST_KMODULE case with symfs too, avoiding use of files
        outside the symfs directory.

      perf diff: Use perf_session__fprintf_hists just like 'perf record' · c351c281
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
      can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:
      
      $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
      samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
      samples) ] perf diff | head -8
           9.02%     +1.00%     find  libc-2.10.1.so               [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
           2.91%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] __kmalloc
           2.85%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
           1.99%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
           2.44%                find  [kernel]                     [k] half_md4_transform
      $
      
      So if you want to zoom into libc:
      
      $ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
          37.34%                find  [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
          10.34%                find  [.] __GI_memmove
           8.25%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_malloc
           5.07%     -1.00%     find  [.] __GI_mempcpy
           7.62%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_free
      $
      
      And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
      possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:
      
      $ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
          37.34%             [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
          10.34%             [.] __GI_memmove
           8.25%     +2.00%  [.] _int_malloc
           5.07%     -1.00%  [.] __GI_mempcpy
           7.62%     +2.00%  [.] _int_free
      $
      
      The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:
      
      perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
          37.34%                   [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
          10.34%                   [.] __GI_memmove
           8.25%     +2.00%        [.] _int_malloc
           5.07%     -1.00%    +2  [.] __GI_mempcpy
           7.62%     +2.00%    -1  [.] _int_free
      $
      
      Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:
      
      $ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
      37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
      10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove
      8.25,+2.00%, ,[.] _int_malloc
      5.07,-1.00%,  +2,[.] __GI_mempcpy

      6.99,+1.00%,  -1,[.] _IO_new_file_xsputn

      This should be enough for diffs where the system is non
      volatile, i.e. when one doesn't updates binaries.
      
      For volatile environments, stay tuned for the next perf tool
      feature: a buildid cache populated by 'perf record', managed by
      'perf buildid-cache' a-la ccache, and used by all the report
      tools.
