Implemented -z,--compression_level[=<n>] option that enables compression of mmaped kernel data buffers content in runtime during perf record mode collection. Default option value is 1 (fastest compression).
Compression overhead has been measured for serial and AIO streaming when profiling matrix multiplication workload:
------------------------------------------------------------- | SERIAL | AIO-1 | ----------------------------------------------------------------| |-z | OVH(x) | ratio(x) size(MiB) | OVH(x) | ratio(x) size(MiB) | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | 0 | 1,00 | 1,000 179,424 | 1,00 | 1,000 187,527 | | 1 | 1,04 | 8,427 181,148 | 1,01 | 8,474 188,562 | | 2 | 1,07 | 8,055 186,953 | 1,03 | 7,912 191,773 | | 3 | 1,04 | 8,283 181,908 | 1,03 | 8,220 191,078 | | 5 | 1,09 | 8,101 187,705 | 1,05 | 7,780 190,065 | | 8 | 1,05 | 9,217 179,191 | 1,12 | 6,111 193,024 | -----------------------------------------------------------------
OVH = (Execution time with -z N) / (Execution time with -z 0)
ratio - compression ratio size - number of bytes that was compressed
size ~= trace size x ratio
