perf stat: Merge uncore events by default for hybrid platform
On a hybrid platform, by default 'perf stat' aggregates and reports the event counts per PMU. For example, # perf stat -e cycles -a true Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 1,400,445 cpu_core/cycles/ 680,881 cpu_atom/cycles/ 0.001770773 seconds time elapsed But for uncore events that's not a suitable method. Uncore has nothing to do with hybrid. So for uncore events, we aggregate event counts from all PMUs and report the counts without PMUs. Before: # perf stat -e arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/,arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ -a true Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 2,058 uncore_arb_0/event=0x81,umask=0x1/ 2,028 uncore_arb_1/event=0x81,umask=0x1/ 0 uncore_arb_0/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ 0 uncore_arb_1/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ 0.000614498 seconds time elapsed After: # perf stat -e arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/,arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ -a true Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 3,996 arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/ 0 arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ 0.000630046 seconds time elapsed Of course, we also keep the '--no-merge' working for uncore events. # perf stat -e arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/,arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ --no-merge true Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 1,952 uncore_arb_0/event=0x81,umask=0x1/ 1,921 uncore_arb_1/event=0x81,umask=0x1/ 0 uncore_arb_0/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ 0 uncore_arb_1/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ 0.000575536 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210707055652.962-1-yao.jin@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
