2009-12-18perf diff: Fix usage array, it must end with a NULL entryArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Fixing this: [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf diff --hell Error: unknown option `hell' usage: perf diff [<options>] [old_file] [new_file] Segmentation fault [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ Also go over the other such arrays to check if they all were OK, they are, but there were some minor changes to do like making one static and renaming another to match the command it refers to.

2009-12-16perf diff: Change the default sort order to "dso,symbol"Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This is a more intuitive / more meaningful default: $ perf diff | head -8 9.02% +1.00% libc-2.10.1.so [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal 2.91% -1.00% [kernel] [k] __kmalloc 2.85% -1.00% [kernel] [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent 1.99% -1.00% [kernel] [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock 2.44% [kernel] $ Suggested-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1260979793-1981-1-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-12-16perf diff: Use perf_session__fprintf_hists just like 'perf record'Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report' can be done with 'perf diff', for instance: $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699 samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687 samples) ] perf diff | head -8 9.02% +1.00% find libc-2.10.1.so [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal 2.91% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] __kmalloc 2.85% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent 1.99% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock 2.44% find [kernel] [k] half_md4_transform $ So if you want to zoom into libc: $ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8 37.34% find [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal 10.34% find [.] __GI_memmove 8.25% +2.00% find [.] _int_malloc 5.07% -1.00% find [.] __GI_mempcpy 7.62% +2.00% find [.] _int_free $ And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol: $ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8 37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal 10.34% [.] __GI_memmove 8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc 5.07% -1.00% [.] __GI_mempcpy 7.62% +2.00% [.] _int_free $ The displacement column now is off by default, to use it: perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8 37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal 10.34% [.] __GI_memmove 8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc 5.07% -1.00% +2 [.] __GI_mempcpy 7.62% +2.00% -1 [.] _int_free $ Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting: $ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8 37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal 10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove 8.25,+2.00%, ,[.] _int_malloc 5.07,-1.00%, +2,[.] __GI_mempcpy 7.62,+2.00%, -1,[.] _int_free 6.99,+1.00%, -1,[.] _IO_new_file_xsputn 1.89,-2.00%, +4,[.] __readdir64 $ Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1260978567-550-1-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

So that --dsos, --comm, --symbols can bem used in more tools, like in perf diff: $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null $ perf diff --dsos /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so | head -5 1 +22392124 /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so _IO_vfprintf_internal 2 +6410655 /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so __GI_memmove 3 +1 +9192692 /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so _int_malloc 4 -1 -15158605 /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so _int_free 5 +45669 /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so _IO_new_file_xsputn $ Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1260914682-29652-3-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
