This patch set is to enable histograms and (partially) TUI mode in perf kvm tool; patch set v1 [1] gives brief introduction for the change.
We can use below commands for testing this series:
In a terminal, you could launch a virtual machine with qemu command; in below case, I downloaded a Ubuntu (or Debian) iso file and used it as the file system image:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 4096 -hda ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso
Then in another terminal, I can use below command to capture KVM trace data and report the result:
# cd linux/tools/perf # ./perf kvm stat record # ./perf kvm stat report => Output in TUI mode # ./perf kvm stat report --stdio => Output in stdio mode
Changes from v4: * Fixed building failure in patch 04; compiled successfully for every patch to ensure bisection.
Changes from v3: * Updated patch 04 to change comparison function return type from int to int64_t to avoid overflow; * Added a refactoring patch 05 "perf kvm: Use macro to replace variable 'decode_str_len'"; * Refined to use hists__add_entry_ops() and hist_entry__cmp() to compare hist entry and add new entries, to support comparison between hist entry, added a new patch 09; (Namhyung Kim) * Updated patch 10 for comparison event name; (Namhyung Kim) * Refined patch 11 to move init_stats() and hists__inc_nr_samples() into kvm_he_zalloc(); (Namhyung Kim) * Minor refactoring for sort_result() and kvm_hists__init() in patch 15.
Changes from v2: * Found building failure with command 'make VF=1 DEBUG=1 NO_SLANG=1', fixed it in the patch 13. (James Clark)
Changes from v1: * Updated the patch 13 'perf kvm: Add TUI mode for stat report' to avoid building failure if no support HAVE_SLANG_SUPPORT.
