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 Committer notes: Testing it I noticed that it failed to disable build id processing when compression is enabled, and as we'd have to uncompress everything to look for the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,SAMPLE,etc} to figure out which build ids to read from DSOs, we better disable build id processing when compression is enabled, logging with pr_debug() when doing so: Original patch: # perf record -z2 ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] 0x1746e0 [0x76]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.568 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.452 MB, ratio is 3.995) ] # After auto-disabling build id processing when compression is enabled: $ perf record -z2 sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.292) ] $ perf record -v -z2 sleep 1 Compression enabled, disabling build id collection at the end of the session. <SNIP extra -v pr_debug() messages> [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.305) ] $ Also, with parts of the patch originally after this one moved to just before this one we get: $ perf record -z2 sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.371) ] $ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS 0 0x1b8 [0x155]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled! 0 0x30d [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled! COMPRESSED events: 2 COMPRESSED events: 0 $ I.e. when faced with PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED that we still have no code to process, we just show it as not being handled, skip them and continue, while before we had: $ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS 0x1b8 [0x169]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument] Error: failed to process sample 0 0x1b8 [0x169]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED $ Signed-off-by: NAlexey Budankov <alexey.budankov@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: NJiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: NArnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9ff06518-ae63-a908-e44d-5d9e56dd66d9@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: NArnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
