    perf report: Add 'simd' sort field · ea15483e
    German Gomez authored
    Add 'simd' sort field to visualize SIMD ops in 'perf report'.
    
    Rows are labeled with the SIMD ISA, and the type of predicate (if any):
    
      - [p] partial predicate
      - [e] empty predicate (no elements in the vector being used)
    
    Example with Arm SPE and SVE (Scalable Vector Extension):
    
      #include <arm_sve.h>
    
      double src[1025], dst[1025];
    
      int main(void) {
        svfloat64_t vc = svdup_f64(1);
        for(;;)
          for(int i = 0; i < 1025; i += svcntd())
          {
            svbool_t pg = svwhilelt_b64(i, 1025);
            svfloat64_t vsrc = svld1(pg, &src[i]);
            svfloat64_t vdst = svadd_x(pg, vsrc, vc);
            svst1(pg, &dst[i], vdst);
          }
        return 0;
      }
    
      ... compiled using "gcc-11 -march=armv8-a+sve -O3"
    
    Profiling on a platform that implements FEAT_SVE and FEAT_SPEv1p1:
    
      $ perf record -e arm_spe_0// -- ./a.out
      $ perf report --itrace=i1i -s overhead,pid,simd,sym
    
      Overhead      Pid:Command   Simd     Symbol
      ........  ................  .......  ......................
    
        53.76%    10758:program            [.] main
        46.14%    10758:program   [.] SVE  [.] main
         0.09%    10758:program   [p] SVE  [.] main
    
    The report shows 0.09% of the sampled SVE operations use partial
    predicates due to src and dst arrays not being multiples of the vector
    register lengths.
