From 7c0f4a4113ba5de7898c246eeaeee4c23d94b887 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 17:25:48 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] perf kvm: Guest userspace samples should not be lumped with host uspace e.g., perf kvm --host --guest report -i perf.data --stdio -D shows: 1 599127912065356 0x143b8 [0x48]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 5): 5671/5676: 0x7fdf95a061c0 period: 1 addr: 0 ... chain: nr:2 ..... 0: ffffffffffffff80 ..... 1: fffffffffffffe00 ... thread: qemu-kvm:5671 ...... dso: (IP, 5) means sample in guest userspace. Those samples should not be lumped into the VMM's host thread. i.e, the report output: 56.86% qemu-kvm [unknown] [u] 0x00007fdf95a061c0 With this patch the output emphasizes it is a guest userspace hit: 56.86% [guest/5671] [unknown] [u] 0x00007fdf95a061c0 Looking at 3 VMs (2 64-bit, 1 32-bit) with each running a CPU bound process (openssl speed), perf report currently shows: 93.84% 117726 qemu-kvm [unknown] [u] 0x00007fd7dcaea8e5 which is wrong. With this patch you get: 31.50% 39258 [guest/18772] [unknown] [u] 0x00007fd7dcaea8e5 31.50% 39236 [guest/11230] [unknown] [u] 0x0000000000a57340 30.84% 39232 [guest/18395] [unknown] [u] 0x00007f66f641e107 Tested-by: Jiri Olsa Signed-off-by: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1342826756-64663-4-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/session.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/session.c b/tools/perf/util/session.c index 8e485592ca20..90ee39dd8ab2 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/session.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/session.c @@ -918,7 +918,9 @@ static struct machine * { const u8 cpumode = event->header.misc & PERF_RECORD_MISC_CPUMODE_MASK; - if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_KERNEL && perf_guest) { + if (perf_guest && + ((cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_KERNEL) || + (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_USER))) { u32 pid; if (event->header.type == PERF_RECORD_MMAP)
