This patch modifies the perf tool to handle the new RECORD type,
PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES.
The number of lost-sample events is stored in
.nr_events[PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES]. The exact number of samples
which the kernel dropped is stored in total_lost_samples.
When the percentage of dropped samples is greater than 5%, a warning
is printed.
Here are some examples:
Eg 1, Recording different frequently-occurring events is safe with the
patch. Only a very low drop rate is associated with such actions.
$ perf record -e '{cycles:p,instructions:p}' -c 20003 --no-time ~/tchain ~/tchain
$ perf report -D | tail
SAMPLE events: 120243
MMAP2 events: 5
LOST_SAMPLES events: 24
FINISHED_ROUND events: 15
cycles:p stats:
TOTAL events: 59348
SAMPLE events: 59348
instructions:p stats:
TOTAL events: 60895
SAMPLE events: 60895
$ perf report --stdio --group
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
#
# Total Lost Samples: 24
#
# Samples: 120K of event 'anon group { cycles:p, instructions:p }'
# Event count (approx.): 24048600000
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol

99.74% 99.86% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f3
0.09% 0.02% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f2
0.04% 0.00% tchain_edit [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ixgbe_read_reg
Eg 2, Recording the same thing multiple times can lead to high drop
rate, but it is not a useful configuration.
$ perf record -e '{cycles:p,cycles:p}' -c 20003 --no-time ~/tchain
