perf mem: Describe overhead calculation in brief
Unlike perf-report which uses sample period for overhead calculation, perf-mem overhead is calculated using sample weight. Describe perf-mem overhead calculation method in it's man page.

OVERHEAD CALCULATION
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
Unlike linkperf:perf-report[1], which calculates overhead from the actual
|
||||
sample period, perf-mem overhead is calculated using sample weight. E.g.
|
||||
there are two samples in perf.data file, both with the same sample period,
|
||||
but one sample with weight 180 and the other with weight 20:
|
||||
|
||||
$ perf script -F period,data_src,weight,ip,sym
|
||||
100000 629080842 |OP LOAD|LVL L3 hit|... 20 7e69b93ca524 strcmp
|
||||
100000 1a29081042 |OP LOAD|LVL RAM hit|... 180 ffffffff82429168 memcpy
|
||||
|
||||
$ perf report -F overhead,symbol
|
||||
50% [.] strcmp
|
||||
50% [k] memcpy
|
||||
|
||||
$ perf mem report -F overhead,symbol
|
||||
90% [k] memcpy
|
||||
10% [.] strcmp
