In 'perf stat' with CSV output option, number of fields in metrics
output is not matching with number of fields in other event output
lines.
Sample output below after applying patch to fix printing os->prefix.
# ./perf stat -x, --per-socket -a -C 1 ls
S0,1,82.11,msec,cpu-clock,82111626,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized
S0,1,2,,context-switches,82109314,100.00,24.358,/sec
------
====> S0,1,,,,,,,1.71,stalled cycles per insn
The above command line uses field separator as "," via "-x," option and
per-socket option displays socket value as first field. But here the
last line for "stalled cycles per insn" has more separators. Each csv
output line is expected to have 8 field separators (for the 9 fields),
where as last line has 9 "," in the result. Patch fixes this issue.
The counter stats are displayed by function
"perf_stat__print_shadow_stats" in code "util/stat-shadow.c". While
printing the stats info for "stalled cycles per insn", function
"new_line_csv" is used as new_line callback.
The fields printed in each line contains: "Socket_id,aggr
nr,Avg,unit,event_name,run,enable_percent,ratio,unit"
The metric output prints Socket_id, aggr nr, ratio and unit. It has to
skip through remaining five fields ie,
Avg,unit,event_name,run,enable_percent. The csv line callback uses
"os->nfields" to know the number of fields to skip to match with other
lines.
Currently it is set as:
os.nfields = 3 + aggr_fields[config->aggr_mode] + (counter->cgrp ? 1 : 0);
But in case of aggregation modes, csv_sep already gets printed along
with each field (Function "aggr_printout" in util/stat-display.c). So
aggr_fields can be removed from nfields. And fixed number of fields to
skip has to be "4". This is to skip fields for: "avg, unit, event name,
run, enable_percent"
This needs 4 csv separators. Patch removes aggr_fields
and uses 4 as fixed number of os->nfields to skip.
After the patch:
# ./perf stat -x, --per-socket -a -C 1 ls
S0,1,79.08,msec,cpu-clock,79085956,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized
S0,1,7,,context-switches,79084176,100.00,88.514,/sec
------
====> S0,1,,,,,,0.81,stalled cycles per insn

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
