[ Upstream commit 784e8adda4cdb3e2510742023729851b6c08803c ]
Currently, the 'weight' field in the perf sample has latency information for some instructions like in memory accesses. And perf tool has 'weight' and 'local_weight' sort keys to display the info.
But it's somewhat confusing what it shows exactly. In my understanding, 'local_weight' shows a weight in a single sample, and (global) 'weight' shows a sum of the weights in the hist_entry.
For example:
$ perf mem record -t load dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1M
$ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight ... # # Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol Local Weight # ........ ....... ....... ................ ......................... ............ # 21.23% 313 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 32 12.43% 183 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 35 11.97% 159 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 36 10.40% 141 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_put_return 32 7.63% 113 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 33 6.37% 92 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 34 6.15% 90 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_put_return 33 ...
So let's look at the 'lockref_get_not_zero' symbols. The top entry shows that 313 samples were captured with 'local_weight' 32, so the total weight should be 313 x 32 = 10016. But it's not the case:
$ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight,weight -S lockref_get_not_zero ... # # Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Local Weight Weight # ........ ....... ....... ................ ............ ...... # 1.36% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144 0.47% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 37 148 0.42% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128 0.40% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 34 136 0.35% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144 0.34% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 35 140 0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144 0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 34 136 0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128 0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128 ...
With the 'weight' sort key, it's divided to 4 samples even with the same info ('comm', 'dso', 'sym' and 'local_weight'). I don't think this is what we want.
I found this because of the way it aggregates the 'weight' value. Since it's not a period, we should not add them in the he->stat. Otherwise, two 32 'weight' entries will create a 64 'weight' entry.
After that, new 32 'weight' samples don't have a matching entry so it'd create a new entry and make it a 64 'weight' entry again and again. Later, they will be merged into 128 'weight' entries during the hists__collapse_resort() with 4 samples, multiple times like above.
Let's keep the weight and display it differently. For 'local_weight', it can show the weight as is, and for (global) 'weight' it can display the number multiplied by the number of samples.
With this change, I can see the expected numbers.
$ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight,weight -S lockref_get_not_zero ... # # Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Local Weight Weight # ........ ....... ....... ................ ............ ..... # 21.23% 313 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 10016 12.43% 183 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 35 6405 11.97% 159 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 5724 7.63% 113 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 33 3729 6.37% 92 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 34 3128 4.17% 59 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 37 2183 0.08% 1 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 269 269 0.08% 1 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 38 38
