'perf report' supports the option --group-sort-idx, which sorts the
output by the event at the index n in event group.
For example:
perf record -e cycles,instructions,cache-misses
perf report --group --group-sort-idx 2 --stdio
The perf-report output is sorted by cache-misses.
This patch supports --group-sort-idx in perf-top.
For example:
perf top --group -e cycles,instructions,cache-misses --group-sort-idx 2
The perf-top output is sorted by cache-misses.

tells kernel to record CGROUP events in the ring buffer so that 'perf

The cgroup sort key is to show cgroup membership of each task.
Currently it shows full path in the cgroupfs (not relative to the root
of cgroup namespace) since it'd be more intuitive IMHO. Otherwise root
cgroup in different namespaces will all show same name - "/".
The cgroup sort key should come before cgroup_id otherwise
sort_dimension__add() will match it to cgroup_id as it only matches with
the given substring.
For example it will look like following. Note that record patch adding
--all-cgroups patch will come later.
$ perf record -a --namespace --all-cgroups cgtest

When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group
information together. By default, the output is sorted by the first
event in group.
It would be nice for user to select any event for sorting. This patch
introduces a new option "--group-sort-idx" to sort the output by the
event at the index n in event group.
For example,
Before:
# perf report --group --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

Now the output is sorted by the fourth event in group.
v7:
---
Rebase to latest perf/core, no other change.
v4:
---
1. Update Documentation/perf-report.txt to mention
'--group-sort-idx' support multiple groups with different
amount of events and it should be used on grouped events.
2. Update __hpp__group_sort_idx(), just return when the
idx is out of limit.
3. Return failure on symbol_conf.group_sort_idx && !session->evlist->nr_groups.
So now we don't need to use together with --group.
v3:
---
Refine the code in __hpp__group_sort_idx().
Before:
for (i = 1; i < nr_members; i++) {
if (i == idx) {
ret = field_cmp(fields_a[i], fields_b[i]);
if (ret)
goto out;
}
}
After:
if (idx >= 1 && idx < nr_members) {
ret = field_cmp(fields_a[idx], fields_b[idx]);
if (ret)
goto out;
}

We have supported the event modifier "percore" which sums up the event
counts for all hardware threads in a core and show the counts per core.
For example,
# perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S0-D0-C0 395,072 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
S0-D0-C1 851,248 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
S0-D0-C2 954,226 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
S0-D0-C3 1,233,659 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
This patch provides a new option "--percore-show-thread". It is used
with event modifier "percore" together to sum up the event counts for
all hardware threads in a core but show the counts per hardware thread.
This is essentially a replacement for the any bit (which is gone in
Icelake). Per core counts are useful for some formulas, e.g. CoreIPC.
The original percore version was inconvenient to post process. This
variant matches the output of the any bit.
With this patch, for example,
# perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A --percore-show-thread -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
CPU0 2,453,061 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU1 1,823,921 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU2 1,383,166 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU3 1,102,652 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU4 2,453,061 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU5 1,823,921 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU6 1,383,166 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU7 1,102,652 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
We can see counts are duplicated in CPU pairs (CPU0/CPU4, CPU1/CPU5,
CPU2/CPU6, CPU3/CPU7).
The interval mode also works. For example,
# perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A --percore-show-thread -I 1000
# time CPU counts unit events
1.000425421 CPU0 925,032 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU1 430,202 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU2 436,843 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU3 1,192,504 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU4 925,032 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU5 430,202 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU6 436,843 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU7 1,192,504 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
If we offline CPU5, the result is:
# perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A --percore-show-thread -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
CPU0 2,752,148 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU1 1,009,312 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU2 2,784,072 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU3 2,427,922 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU4 2,752,148 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/

Ravi Bangoria reports an issue in v3. Once we offline a CPU,
the output is not correct. The issue is we should use the cpu
idx in print_percore_thread rather than using the cpu value.
v3:
---
1. Fix the interval mode output error
2. Use cpu value (not cpu index) in config->aggr_get_id().
3. Refine the code according to Jiri's comments.

perf config annotate options says it works only with TUI, which is wrong.
Most of the TUI options are applicable to stdio2 as well. So remove that

browsers supports that option. Also, annotate.show_nr_samples config is
missing in Documentation. Describe it.

The 'perf kvm' subcommand has options that it in turn passes to other
perf subcommands such as 'report' and 'record', particularly -i and -o
end up setting the same variable that will then be used for 'record's -o
and report '-i', which ends up being confusing, leading some to think
that both -i and -o can be used with 'report'.
Improve the man page to state that -i is used with the post-processing
subcommands while -o is used just with 'record' and that to save the
output of 'report' one should simply redirect its output to a file.
Noticed while reading the https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Perf_events
page.

Add a 'perf record' option '--aux-sample' to request AUX area sampling.
AUX area sampling uses an overwriting buffer much like snapshot mode, so
adjust the AUX buffer mmapping accordingly. To make it easy to queue

The patch adds a new option to limit the output file size, then based on
it, we can create a wrapper of the perf command that uses the option to
avoid exhausting the disk space by the unconscious user.
In order to make the perf.data parsable, we just limit the sample data
size, since the perf.data consists of many headers and sample data and
other data, the actual size of the recorded file will bigger than the
setting value.
Testing it:
# ./perf record -a -g --max-size=10M
Couldn't synthesize bpf events.
[ perf record: perf size limit reached (10249 KB), stopping session ]
[ perf record: Woken up 32 times to write data ]

Support directory output that contains a regular perf.data file, named
"data". By default the directory is named perf.data i.e.
perf.data
└── data
Most of the infrastructure to support a directory is already there. This
patch makes the changes needed to support the format above.
Presently there is no 'perf record' option to output a directory.
This is preparation for adding support for putting a copy of /proc/kcore in
the directory.

There are some deprecated events listed by perf list. But we can't
remove them from perf list with ease because some old scripts may use
them.
Deprecated events are old names of renamed events. When an event gets
renamed the old name is kept around for some time and marked with
Deprecated. The newer Intel event lists in the tree already have these
headers.
So we need to keep them in the event list, but provide a new option to
show them. The new option is "--deprecated".
With this patch, the deprecated events are hidden by default but they
can be displayed when option "--deprecated" is enabled.

So far we used the libtraceevent printing routines when showing
tracepoint arguments, but since 'perf trace' has a lot of beautifiers
for syscall arguments, and since some of those can be used to augment
tracepoint arguments, add a routine to make use of those beautifiers
and allow the user to choose which one to use.
The default now is to use the same beautifiers used for the strace-like
sys_enter+sys_exit lines, but the user can choose the libtraceevent ones
by either using the:
perf trace --libtraceevent_print
command line option, or by setting:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[trace]
tracepoint_beautifiers = libtraceevent
For instance, here are some examples:
# perf trace -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "perf", pid: 5273 (perf), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
0.621 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffdd06d1140, rmtp: NULL) ...
0.628 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "sleep", prev_pid: 5273 (sleep), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 1, next_comm: "swapper/6", next_pid: 0, next_prio: 120)
1000.879 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
0.621 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
1001.026 exit_group(error_code: 0) = ?
1001.216 sched:sched_process_exit(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120)
#
And then using libtraceevent, as before:
# perf trace --libtraceevent_print -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=perf pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
0.739 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffeba6c2f40, rmtp: NULL) ...
0.747 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm=sleep prev_pid=5288 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120)
1000.902 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=sleep pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
0.739 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
1001.012 exit_group(error_code: 0) = ?
#
The new default allocates an array of 'struct syscall_arg_fmt' for the
tracepoint arguments and, just like with syscall arguments, tries to
find suitable syscall_arg__scnprintf_NAME() routines to augment those
tracepoint arguments based on their type (as in the tracefs "format"
file), or even in their name + type, for instance arguntents with names
ending in "fd" with type "int" get the fd scnprintf beautifier attached,
etc.
Soon this will take advantage of the kernel BTF information to augment
enumerations based on the tracefs "format" type info.

it will override the default date written to the man page metadata.
Without this change, or if the perf_date isn't specified, then the
current date is written to the metadata.
Having this parameter allows the metadata to be constant if builds
happen on different dates.
The name of the parameter is intended to be consistent with the existing
perf_version parameter.

Just like 'perf trace' and 'perf script', should be useful for instance
to only consider samples after the initialization phase of some
workload.
The man page has some examples and considerations about its current
interface, that still doesn't handle the on/off events in a special way,
behaving just like when multiple events are specified, i.e.:
- In non-group mode (when the event list is not enclosed in {}) show a
a menu to allow choosing which event the user wants to see in the
histograms browser
- In group mode, be it using {} or asking for --group, show one column
per event.
Try for instance:
# perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,probe:icmp_rcv}' --switch-on=probe:icmp_rcv
Replace probe:icmp_rcv, that I put in place using:
# perf probe icmp_rcv:59
To hit when broadcast packets arrive, with a probe installed after an
initialization phase is over or after some other point of interest, some
garbage collection, etc, and also use --switch-off, for instance, on a
probe installed after said garbage collection is over.
