perf bench: Change the procps visible command-name of invididual benchmark tests plus cleanups
Before this patch, looking at 'perf bench sched pipe' behavior over
'top' only told us that something related to perf is running:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
19934 mingo 20 0 54836 1296 952 R 18.6 0.0 0:00.56 perf
19935 mingo 20 0 54836 384 36 S 18.6 0.0 0:00.56 perf
After the patch it's clearly visible what's going on:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
19744 mingo 20 0 125m 3536 2644 R 68.2 0.0 0:01.12 sched-pipe
19745 mingo 20 0 125m 1172 276 R 68.2 0.0 0:01.12 sched-pipe
The benchmark-subsystem name is concatenated with the individual
testcase name.
Unfortunately 'perf top' does not show the reconfigured name, possibly
because it caches ->comm[] values and does not recognize changes to
them?
Also clean up a few bits in builtin-bench.c while at it and reorganize
the code and the output strings to be consistent.
Use iterators to access the various arrays. Rename 'suites' concept to
'benchmark collection' and the 'bench_suite' to 'benchmark/bench'. The
many repetitions of 'suite' made the code harder to read and understand.
The new output is:
comet:~/tip/tools/perf> ./perf bench
Usage:
perf bench [<common options>] <collection> <benchmark> [<options>]
# List of all available benchmark collections:
sched: Scheduler and IPC benchmarks
mem: Memory access benchmarks
numa: NUMA scheduling and MM benchmarks
all: All benchmarks
comet:~/tip/tools/perf> ./perf bench sched
# List of available benchmarks for collection 'sched':
messaging: Benchmark for scheduling and IPC
pipe: Benchmark for pipe() between two processes
all: Test all scheduler benchmarks
comet:~/tip/tools/perf> ./perf bench mem
# List of available benchmarks for collection 'mem':
memcpy: Benchmark for memcpy()
memset: Benchmark for memset() tests
all: Test all memory benchmarks
comet:~/tip/tools/perf> ./perf bench numa
# List of available benchmarks for collection 'numa':
mem: Benchmark for NUMA workloads
all: Test all NUMA benchmarks
Individual benchmark modules were not touched.
