[PATCH v7 0/3] KVM: perf: kvm events analysis tool

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changelog:
- rebased it on Arnaldo's git tree perf/core branch

the change from Arnaldo's comments:
- directly get event from evsel->tp_format
- remove die() and return the proper error code
- rename thread->private to thread->priv

the change from David's comments:
- use is_valid_tracepoint instead of kvm_events_exist 

This patchset introduces a perf-based tool (perf kvm stat record/report)
which can analyze kvm events more smartly. Below is the presentation slice
on 2012 Japan LinuxCon:
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/images/stories/pdf/lcjp2012_guangrong.pdf
You can get more details from it. If any questions/comments, please feel free
to let us know.

This patchset is based on Arnaldo's git tree perf/core branch, and patch 2
is just doing the "improvement" work, which can be picked up independently.


Usage:
- kvm stat
  run a command and gather performance counter statistics, it is the alias of
  perf stat

- trace kvm events:
  perf kvm stat record, or, if other tracepoints are interesting as well, we
  can append the events like this:
  perf kvm stat record -e kvm:*
  If many guests are running, we can track the specified guest by using -p or
  --pid

- show the result:
  perf kvm stat report

The output example is following:
# pgrep qemu-kvm
26071
32253
32564

total 3 guests are running on the host

Then, track the guest whose pid is 26071:
# ./perf kvm stat record -p 26071
^C[ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 24.903 MB perf.data.guest (~1088034 samples) ]

See the vmexit events:
# ./perf kvm stat report --event=vmexit

Analyze events for all VCPUs:

Total Samples:98202, Total events handled time:41419293.63us.

See the mmio events:
# ./perf kvm stat report --event=mmio

Analyze events for all VCPUs:

         MMIO Access    Samples  Samples%     Time%         Avg time

        0xfee00380:W      58686    90.21%    15.67%      4.95us ( +-   2.96% )

Total Samples:65057, Total events handled time:1854470.45us.

See the ioport event:
# ./perf kvm stat report --event=ioport

Analyze events for all VCPUs:

      IO Port Access    Samples  Samples%     Time%         Avg time

Total Samples:383, Total events handled time:34085.56us.

And, --vcpu is used to track the specified vcpu and --key is used to sort the
result:
# ./perf kvm stat report --event=vmexit --vcpu=0 --key=time

Analyze events for VCPU 0:
