From: Adrian Hunter Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2015 13:15:56 +0000 (+0300) Subject: perf intel-pt: Add mispred-all config option to aid use with autofdo X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ba11ba65e02836c475427ae199adfc2d8cc4a900;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git perf intel-pt: Add mispred-all config option to aid use with autofdo autofdo incorrectly expects branch flags to include either mispred or predicted. In fact mispred = predicted = 0 is valid and means the flags are not supported, which they aren't by Intel PT. To make autofdo work, add a config option which will cause Intel PT decoder to set the mispred flag on all branches. Below is an example of using Intel PT with autofdo. The example is also added to the Intel PT documentation. It requires autofdo (https://github.com/google/autofdo) and gcc version 5. The bubble sort example is from the AutoFDO tutorial (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/AutoFDO/Tutorial) amended to take the number of elements as a parameter. $ gcc-5 -O3 sort.c -o sort_optimized $ ./sort_optimized 30000 Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements 2254 ms $ cat ~/.perfconfig [intel-pt] mispred-all $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./sort 3000 Bubble sorting array of 3000 elements 58 ms [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.939 MB perf.data ] $ perf inject -i perf.data -o inj --itrace=i100usle --strip $ ./create_gcov --binary=./sort --profile=inj --gcov=sort.gcov -gcov_version=1 $ gcc-5 -O3 -fauto-profile=sort.gcov sort.c -o sort_autofdo $ ./sort_autofdo 30000 Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements 2155 ms Note there is currently no advantage to using Intel PT instead of LBR, but that may change in the future if greater use is made of the data.
