Leo Yan	c535077789	samples/bpf: Add program for CPU state statistics ... CPU is active when have running tasks on it and CPUFreq governor can select different operating points (OPP) according to different workload; we use 'pstate' to present CPU state which have running tasks with one specific OPP. On the other hand, CPU is idle which only idle task on it, CPUIdle governor can select one specific idle state to power off hardware logics; we use 'cstate' to present CPU idle state. Based on trace events 'cpu_idle' and 'cpu_frequency' we can accomplish the duration statistics for every state. Every time when CPU enters into or exits from idle states, the trace event 'cpu_idle' is recorded; trace event 'cpu_frequency' records the event for CPU OPP changing, so it's easily to know how long time the CPU stays in the specified OPP, and the CPU must be not in any idle state. This patch is to utilize the mentioned trace events for pstate and cstate statistics. To achieve more accurate profiling data, the program uses below sequence to insure CPU running/idle time aren't missed: - Before profiling the user space program wakes up all CPUs for once, so can avoid to missing account time for CPU staying in idle state for long time; the program forces to set 'scaling_max_freq' to lowest frequency and then restore 'scaling_max_freq' to highest frequency, this can ensure the frequency to be set to lowest frequency and later after start to run workload the frequency can be easily to be changed to higher frequency; - User space program reads map data and update statistics for every 5s, so this is same with other sample bpf programs for avoiding big overload introduced by bpf program self; - When send signal to terminate program, the signal handler wakes up all CPUs, set lowest frequency and restore highest frequency to 'scaling_max_freq'; this is exactly same with the first step so avoid to missing account CPU pstate and cstate time during last stage. Finally it reports the latest statistics. The program has been tested on Hikey board with octa CA53 CPUs, below is one example for statistics result, the format mainly follows up Jesper Dangaard Brouer suggestion. Jesper reminds to 'get printf to pretty print with thousands separators use %' and setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "en_US")', tried three different arm64 GCC toolchains (5.4.0 20160609, 6.2.1 20161016, 6.3.0 20170516) but all of them cannot support printf flag character %' on arm64 platform, so go back print number without grouping mode.
