Subject: perf: Add duration_time to perf stat

Currently it's not possible to get the wall clock time of a measurement
in CSV mode output, it's only in the non CSV perf stat output.
Often this is needed to normalize event counts to time.

Add a new duration_time event that can be specified and reports
the wall clock time in ns.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] perf, tools: Implement duration_time as a proper event

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

The perf metric expression use duration_time internally to normalize
events. Normal perf stat without -x also prints the duration time.
But when using -x, the interval is not output anywhere, which
is inconvenient for any post processing which often wants to
normalize values to time.

So implement duration_time as a proper perf event that
can be specified explicitely with -e.

The previous implementation of duration_time only worked
for metric processing. This adds the concept of a tool
event that is handled by the tool. On the kernel level
it is still mapped to the dummy software event, but the
values are not read anymore, but instead computed by the tool.

Add proper plumbing to handle this in the event parser,
and display it in perf stat. We don't want duration_time to be added up,
so it's only printed for the first CPU.

% perf stat -e duration_time,cycles true

Performance counter stats for 'true':

555,476 ns duration_time
771,958 cycles

0.000555476 seconds time elapsed

0.000644000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys

so now that we have time in a separate event, we could
get rid of the isolated update_stats(&walltime_nsecs_stats) calls
and move them to perf_stat__update_shadow_stats?

In theory yes, but it would require perf stat always setting up
the duration_time event implicitely and then special handling.

For stat it would need to be hidden to keep the same output.

It's probably simpler to keep the old way for that.

perf stat: Revert checks for duration_time

This reverts e864c5ca145e ("perf stat: Hide internal duration_time
counter") but doing it manually since the code has now moved to a
different file.

The next patch will properly implement duration_time as a full event, so
no need to hide it anymore.

perf stat: Implement duration_time as a proper event

The perf metric expression use 'duration_time' internally to normalize
events. Normal 'perf stat' without -x also prints the duration time.
But when using -x, the interval is not output anywhere, which is
inconvenient for any post processing which often wants to normalize
values to time.

So implement 'duration_time' as a proper perf event that can be
specified explicitely with -e.

The previous implementation of 'duration_time' only worked for metric
processing. This adds the concept of a tool event that is handled by the
tool. On the kernel level it is still mapped to the dummy software
event, but the values are not read anymore, but instead computed by the
tool.

Add proper plumbing to handle this in the event parser, and display it
in 'perf stat'. We don't want 'duration_time' to be added up, so it's
only printed for the first CPU.

% perf stat -e duration_time,cycles true

Performance counter stats for 'true':

555,476 ns duration_time
771,958 cycles

0.000555476 seconds time elapsed

0.000644000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
