2025-11-18perf arm_spe: Consolidate operation typesLeo Yan
Consolidate operation types in a way: (a) Extract the second-level types into separate enums. (b) The second-level types for memory and SIMD operations are classified by modules. E.g., an operation may relate to general register, SIMD/FP, SVE, etc. (c) The associated information tells details. E.g., an operation is load or store, whether it is atomic operation, etc. Start the enum items for the second-level types from 8 to accommodate more entries within a 32-bit integer.

2025-11-17perf tool_pmu: More accurately set the cpus for tool eventsIan Rogers
The user and system time events can record on different CPUs, but for all other events a single CPU map of just CPU 0 makes sense. In parse-events detect a tool PMU and then pass the perf_event_attr so that the tool_pmu can return CPUs specific for the event. This avoids a CPU map of all online CPUs being used for events like duration_time. Avoiding this avoids the evlist CPUs containing CPUs for which duration_time just gives 0. Minimizing the evlist CPUs can remove unnecessary sched_setaffinity syscalls that delay metric calculations.

Previously '-e cycles,instructions' would implicitly create an IPC metric. This now has to be explicit with '-M insn_per_cycle'. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

2025-11-11perf test stat+json: Improve metric-only testingIan Rogers
When testing metric-only, pass a metric to perf rather than expecting a hard coded metric value to be generated. Remove keys that were really metric-only units and instead don't expect metric only to have a matching json key as it encodes metrics as {"metric_name", "metric_value"}.

2025-11-11perf stat: Fix default metricgroup display on hybridIan Rogers
The logic to skip output of a default metric line was firing on Alderlake and not displaying 'TopdownL1 (cpu_atom)'. Remove the need_full_name check as it is equivalent to the different PMU test in the cases we care about, merge the 'if's and flip the evsel of the PMU test. The 'if' is now basically saying, if the output matches the last printed output then skip the output. Before: ``` TopdownL1 (cpu_core) # 11.3 % tma_bad_speculation # 24.3 % tma_frontend_bound TopdownL1 (cpu_core) # 33.9 % tma_backend_bound # 30.6 % tma_retiring # 42.2 % tma_backend_bound # 25.0 % tma_frontend_bound (49.81%) # 12.8 % tma_bad_speculation # 20.0 % tma_retiring (59.46%) ``` After: ``` TopdownL1 (cpu_core) # 8.3 % tma_bad_speculation # 43.7 % tma_frontend_bound # 30.7 % tma_backend_bound # 17.2 % tma_retiring TopdownL1 (cpu_atom) # 31.9 % tma_backend_bound # 37.6 % tma_frontend_bound (49.66%) # 18.0 % tma_bad_speculation # 12.6 % tma_retiring (59.58%) ``` Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
2025-11-11perf stat: Remove hard coded shadow metricsIan Rogers
Now that the metrics are encoded in common json the hard coded printing means the metrics are shown twice. Remove the hard coded version. This means that when specifying events, and those events correspond to a hard coded metric, the metric will no longer be displayed. The metric will be displayed if the metric is requested. Due to the adhoc printing in the previous approach it was often found frustrating, the new approach avoids this. The default perf stat output on an alderlake now looks like: ``` $ perf stat -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 19,697 context-switches # nan cs/sec cs_per_second TopdownL1 (cpu_core) # 10.7 % tma_bad_speculation # 24.9 % tma_frontend_bound TopdownL1 (cpu_core) # 34.3 % tma_backend_bound # 30.1 % tma_retiring 6,593 page-faults # nan faults/sec page_faults_per_second 729,065,658 cpu_atom/cpu-cycles/ # nan GHz cycles_frequency (49.79%) 1,605,131,101 cpu_core/cpu-cycles/ # nan GHz cycles_frequency # 19.7 % tma_bad_speculation # 14.2 % tma_retiring (50.14%) # 37.3 % tma_frontend_bound (50.31%) 87,302,268 cpu_atom/branches/ # nan M/sec branch_frequency (60.27%) 512,046,956 cpu_core/branches/ # nan M/sec branch_frequency 1,111 cpu-migrations # nan migrations/sec migrations_per_second # 28.8 % tma_backend_bound (60.26%) 0.00 msec cpu-clock # 0.0 CPUs CPUs_utilized 392,509,323 cpu_atom/instructions/ # 0.6 instructions insn_per_cycle (60.19%) 2,990,369,310 cpu_core/instructions/ # 1.9 instructions insn_per_cycle 3,493,478 cpu_atom/branch-misses/ # 5.9 % branch_miss_rate (49.69%) 7,297,531 cpu_core/branch-misses/ # 1.4 % branch_miss_rate 1.006621701 seconds time elapsed ``` Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
