Hi Ingo,

Please consider pulling,

The following changes since commit 152fefa921535665f95840c08062844ab2f5593e:

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core (2013-01-31 10:20:14 +0100)

are available in the git repository at:

perf: Document the ABI of perf sysfs entries (2013-01-31 13:07:51 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

. Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to
what was done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.

. Add event group view, from Namyung Kim:

To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf
report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them
together if --group option is provided. You can use 'perf evlist' command to
see event group information:

$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]

$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}

With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately like this:

$ perf report
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 3K of event 'ref-cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 3153797218
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ..........................
99.84% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp
0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del
0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time
0.01% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe

# Samples: 3K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 3722310525
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. .........................
99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page
0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks
0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time
0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe

In this case the event group information will be shown in the end of
header area. So you can use --group option to enable event group view.

$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ....... ................. ..........................
99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp
0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del
0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time
0.01% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
0.00% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
0.00% 0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
0.00% 0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page
0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks
0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time

As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and
cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group {
ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of group leader
first.

If perf.data file doesn't contain group information, this --group
option does nothing. So if you want enable event group view by
default you can set it in ~/.perfconfig file:

$ cat ~/.perfconfig
[report]
group = true

It can be overridden with command line if you want:

$ perf report --no-group
