From 7255fe2a42c612f2b8fe4c347f0a5f0c97d85a46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucas De Marchi Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:05:08 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: Do not print ratio when task-clock event is not counted The ratio between the number of events and the time elapsed makes sense only if task-clock event is counted. Otherwise it will be simply a (confusing) # 0.000 M/sec This patch outputs the ratio only if task-clock event is counted. Some test examples of before and after: Before: [lucas@skywalker linux.trees.git]$ sudo perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 1367818 branch-misses # 0.000 M/sec 1.001494325 seconds time elapsed After (without task-clock): [lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 1135044 branch-misses 1.001370775 seconds time elapsed After (with task-clock): [lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -e task-clock -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 1070111 branch-misses # 0.534 M/sec 2002.730893 task-clock-msecs # 1.999 CPUs 1.001640292 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo LKML-Reference: <20091115140507.GB21561@skywalker.lan> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- tools/perf/builtin-stat.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c b/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c index c6df3770b87..c70d7200355 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c @@ -357,7 +357,8 @@ static void abs_printout(int counter, double avg) ratio = avg / total; fprintf(stderr, " # %10.3f IPC ", ratio); - } else if (MATCH_EVENT(HARDWARE, HW_BRANCH_MISSES, counter)) { + } else if (MATCH_EVENT(HARDWARE, HW_BRANCH_MISSES, counter) && + runtime_branches_stats.n != 0) { total = avg_stats(&runtime_branches_stats); if (total) @@ -365,7 +366,7 @@ static void abs_printout(int counter, double avg) fprintf(stderr, " # %10.3f %% ", ratio); - } else { + } else if (runtime_nsecs_stats.n != 0) { total = avg_stats(&runtime_nsecs_stats); if (total)
