Subject[PATCH v3 0/5] perf report: Show branch type
Message-ID<tuUc9-15U-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
v3:
---
1. Move the JCC forward/backward and cross page computing from
   kernel to userspace.

2. Use lookup table to replace original switch/case processing.

Changed:
  perf/core: Define the common branch type classification
  perf/x86/intel: Record branch type
  perf report: Show branch type statistics for stdio mode
  perf report: Show branch type in callchain entry

Not changed:
  perf record: Create a new option save_type in --branch-filter

v2:
---
1. Use 4 bits in perf_branch_entry to record branch type.

2. Pull out some common branch types from FAR_BRANCH. Now the branch
   types defined in perf_event.h:

PERF_BR_NONE      : unknown
PERF_BR_JCC_FWD   : conditional forward jump
PERF_BR_JCC_BWD   : conditional backward jump
PERF_BR_JMP       : jump
PERF_BR_IND_JMP   : indirect jump
PERF_BR_CALL      : call
PERF_BR_IND_CALL  : indirect call
PERF_BR_RET       : return
PERF_BR_SYSCALL   : syscall
PERF_BR_SYSRET    : syscall return
PERF_BR_IRQ       : hw interrupt/trap/fault
PERF_BR_INT       : sw interrupt
PERF_BR_IRET      : return from interrupt
PERF_BR_FAR_BRANCH: others not generic far branch type

3. Use 2 bits in perf_branch_entry for a "cross" metrics checking
   for branch cross 4K or 2M area. It's an approximate computing
   for checking if the branch cross 4K page or 2MB page.

For example:

perf record -g --branch-filter any,save_type <command>

perf report --stdio

     JCC forward:  27.7%
    JCC backward:   9.8%
             JMP:   0.0%
         IND_JMP:   6.5%
            CALL:  26.6%
        IND_CALL:   0.0%
             RET:  29.3%
            IRET:   0.0%
        CROSS_4K:   0.0%
        CROSS_2M:  14.3%

perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

    -23.60%--main div.c:42 (RET cycles:2)
             compute_flag div.c:28 (RET cycles:2)
             compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
             rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
             rand rand.c:28 (RET cycles:1)
             __random random.c:298 (RET cycles:1)
             __random random.c:297 (JCC forward cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (JCC forward cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (JCC forward cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (JCC forward cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (RET cycles:9)

Changed:
  perf/core: Define the common branch type classification
  perf/x86/intel: Record branch type
  perf report: Show branch type statistics for stdio mode
  perf report: Show branch type in callchain entry

Not changed:
  perf record: Create a new option save_type in --branch-filter

v1:

It is often useful to know the branch types while analyzing branch
data. For example, a call is very different from a conditional branch.

Currently we have to look it up in binary while the binary may later
not be available and even the binary is available but user has to take
some time. It is very useful for user to check it directly in perf
report.

Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction
to get the branch type.

The patch series records the branch type and show the branch type with
other LBR information in callchain entry via perf report. The patch
series also adds the branch type summary at the end of
perf report --stdio.

To keep consistent on kernel and userspace and make the classification
more common, the patch adds the common branch type classification
in perf_event.h.

The common branch types are:

 JCC forward: Conditional forward jump
JCC backward: Conditional backward jump
         JMP: Jump imm
     IND_JMP: Jump reg/mem
        CALL: Call imm
    IND_CALL: Call reg/mem
         RET: Ret
  FAR_BRANCH: SYSCALL/SYSRET, IRQ, IRET, TSX Abort

An example:

1. Record branch type (new option "save_type")

perf record -g --branch-filter any,save_type <command>

2. Show the branch type statistics at the end of perf report --stdio

perf report --stdio

     JCC forward:  34.0%
    JCC backward:   3.6%
             JMP:   0.0%
         IND_JMP:   6.5%
            CALL:  26.6%
        IND_CALL:   0.0%
             RET:  29.3%
      FAR_BRANCH:   0.0%

3. Show branch type in callchain entry

perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

    --23.91%--main div.c:42 (RET cycles:2)
              compute_flag div.c:28 (RET cycles:2)
              compute_flag div.c:27 (RET cycles:1)
              rand rand.c:28 (RET cycles:1)
              rand rand.c:28 (RET cycles:1)
              __random random.c:298 (RET cycles:1)
              __random random.c:297 (JCC forward cycles:1)
              __random random.c:295 (JCC forward cycles:1)
              __random random.c:295 (JCC forward cycles:1)
              __random random.c:295 (JCC forward cycles:1)
              __random random.c:295 (RET cycles:9)

In reply to#1620844
The option indicates the kernel to save branch type during sampling.

One example:
perf record -g --branch-filter any,save_type <command>

#1620848 — [PATCH v3 1/5] perf/core: Define the common branch type classification

FromJin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>

Subject[PATCH v3 1/5] perf/core: Define the common branch type classification

In reply to#1620844
It is often useful to know the branch types while analyzing branch
data. For example, a call is very different from a conditional branch.

Currently we have to look it up in binary while the binary may later
not be available and even the binary is available but user has to take
some time. It is very useful for user to check it directly in perf
report.

Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction
to get the x86 branch type.

To keep consistent on kernel and userspace and make the classification
more common, the patch adds the common branch type classification
in perf_event.h.

PERF_BR_NONE      : unknown
PERF_BR_JCC       : conditional jump
PERF_BR_JMP       : jump
PERF_BR_IND_JMP   : indirect jump
PERF_BR_CALL      : call
PERF_BR_IND_CALL  : indirect call
PERF_BR_RET       : return
PERF_BR_SYSCALL   : syscall
PERF_BR_SYSRET    : syscall return
PERF_BR_IRQ       : hw interrupt/trap/fault
PERF_BR_INT       : sw interrupt
PERF_BR_IRET      : return from interrupt
PERF_BR_FAR_BRANCH: not generic far branch type

Since the disassembling of branch instruction needs some overhead,
a new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_TYPE_SAVE is introduced to indicate if it
needs to disassemble the branch instruction and record the branch
type.

#1620849 — [PATCH v3 5/5] perf report: Show branch type in callchain entry

FromJin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>

Subject[PATCH v3 5/5] perf report: Show branch type in callchain entry
Message-ID<tuUc9-15U-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1620844
Show branch type in callchain entry. The branch type is printed
with other LBR information (such as cycles/abort/...).

One example:
perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

          compute_flag div.c:28 (RET cycles:2)

          rand rand.c:28 (CROSS_4K RET cycles:1)
          rand rand.c:28 (CROSS_2M RET cycles:1)
          __random random.c:298 (CROSS_4K RET cycles:1)
          __random random.c:297 (JCC backward CROSS_2M cycles:1)
          __random random.c:295 (JCC forward CROSS_4K cycles:1)
          __random random.c:295 (JCC backward CROSS_2M cycles:1)

#1620850 — [PATCH v3 4/5] perf report: Show branch type statistics for stdio mode

FromJin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>
Date2017-04-11 05:00 +0200
Subject[PATCH v3 4/5] perf report: Show branch type statistics for stdio mode
Message-ID<tuUc9-15U-11@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1620844
Show the branch type statistics at the end of perf report --stdio.

For example:
perf report --stdio

 JCC forward:  27.8%
JCC backward:   9.7%
    CROSS_4K:   0.0%
    CROSS_2M:  14.3%
         JCC:  37.6%
         JMP:   0.0%
     IND_JMP:   6.5%
        CALL:  26.6%
         RET:  29.3%
        IRET:   0.0%

The branch types are:
---------------------
 JCC forward: Conditional forward jump
JCC backward: Conditional backward jump
         JMP: Jump imm
     IND_JMP: Jump reg/mem
        CALL: Call imm
    IND_CALL: Call reg/mem
         RET: Ret
     SYSCALL: Syscall
      SYSRET: Syscall return
         IRQ: HW interrupt/trap/fault
         INT: SW interrupt
        IRET: Return from interrupt
  FAR_BRANCH: Others not generic branch type

CROSS_4K and CROSS_2M:
----------------------
They are the metrics checking for branches cross 4K or 2MB pages.
It's an approximate computing. We don't know if the area is 4K or
2MB, so always compute both.

To make the output simple, if a branch crosses 2M area, CROSS_4K
will not be incremented.
