Perf

為什麼我在性能列表中找不到硬體記憶體事件?

  • June 30, 2020

我在新買的筆記型電腦上使用 linux perf 時遇到問題:我的 perf 列表中沒有可用的硬體記憶體效果!!!嗯,這真的是我想要採樣的所有重要資訊!這是我的性能列表:

[ Tracepoints not available: Permission denied ]

雖然這是我以前看到的性能列表:https ://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Tutorial#Events 。

我以前做的是:

sudo perf stat -e L1-dcache-loads,L1-dcache-load-misses,LLC-loads,LLC-load-misses -a --append -o perf.txt [some command to run a file]

但這在我的新機器上不起作用。在這種情況下,我如何收集我想要的數據?

我正在使用帶有核心 <3.19.0-56> 的 Ubuntu 14.04。性能版本 <3.19.8-ckt15>。


更新

我安裝了papi-tools庫,並papi_native_avail給了我

Available native events and hardware information.

PAPI Version             : 5.3.0.0
Vendor string and code   : GenuineIntel (1)
Model string and code    : Intel(R) Core(TM) M-5Y71 CPU @ 1.20GHz (61)
CPU Revision             : 4.000000
CPUID Info               : Family: 6  Model: 61  Stepping: 4
CPU Max Megahertz        : 2900
CPU Min Megahertz        : 500
Hdw Threads per core     : 1

Sockets                  : 2
NUMA Nodes               : 1

Total CPUs               : 4

Max Multiplex Counters   : 64

首先,檢查處理器是否有硬體計數器。英特爾 Haswell 架構停止在最近的處理器中提供硬體計數器(出於某種原因)。

其次,我會檢查您是否可以通過例如papi. papi_native_avail如果 Ubuntu 提供了足夠新的數據庫,該命令應該列出您的本地事件。

第三種可能性是事件在這裡,但舊的不支持perf。是的,Ubuntu 14.04 已經兩年了,核心/工具可能不完全支持目前的處理器。

另外值得注意的是,它perf list可以根據它是否以root. (也許有一些配置設置root不是決定因素;我不確定。)

在我的 Linux Mint 18.1 機器上,執行 4.8.0-34-generic 核心:
