Andi Kleen 5a5dfe4b85 perf tools: Support weak groups in 'perf stat'
Setting up groups can be complicated due to the complicated scheduling
restrictions of different PMUs.

User tools usually don't understand all these restrictions.

Still in many cases it is useful to set up groups and they work most of
the time. However if the group is set up wrong some members will not
report any value because they never get scheduled.

Add a concept of a 'weak group': try to set up a group, but if it's not
schedulable fallback to not using a group. That gives us the best of
both worlds: groups if they work, but still a usable fallback if they
don't.

In theory it would be possible to have more complex fallback strategies
(e.g. try to split the group in half), but the simple fallback of not
using a group seems to work for now.

So far the weak group is only implemented for perf stat, not for record.

Here's an unschedulable group (on IvyBridge with SMT on)

  % perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}' -a sleep 1

        73,806,067      branches
         4,848,144      branch-misses             #    6.57% of all branches
        14,754,458      l1d.replacement
        24,905,558      l2_lines_in.all
   <not supported>      l2_rqsts.all_code_rd         <------- will never report anything

With the weak group:

  % perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}:W' -a sleep 1

       125,366,055      branches                                                      (80.02%)
         9,208,402      branch-misses             #    7.35% of all branches          (80.01%)
        24,560,249      l1d.replacement                                               (80.00%)
        43,174,971      l2_lines_in.all                                               (80.05%)
        31,891,457      l2_rqsts.all_code_rd                                          (79.92%)

The extra event scheduled with some extra multiplexing

v2: Move fallback code to separate function.
Add comment on for_each_group_member
Adjust to new perf_evsel__close interface
v3: Fix debug print out.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
