Subject: Implement lbr-as-callgraph v10
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 18:05:18 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415844328-4884-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)
[Reworks to address all the review feedback. Rebased to latest tree]
[Just a repost after a rebase]
[Even more review feedback and some bugs addressed.]
[Only port to changes in perf/core. No other changes.]
[Rebase to latest perf/core]
[Another rebase. No changes]
This patchkit implements lbr-as-callgraphs in per freport,
as an alternative way to present LBR information.
Current perf report does a histogram over the branch edges,
which is useful to look at basic blocks, but doesn't tell
you anything about the larger control flow behaviour.
This patchkit adds a new option --branch-history that
adds the branch paths to the callgraph history instead.
This allows to reason about individual branch paths leading
to specific samples.

- Update some descriptions
v4:
- Fix various display problems
- Unknown srcline is now printed as symbol+offset
- Refactor some code to address review feedback
- Merge with latest tip
- Fix missing srcline display in stdio hist output.
v5:
- Rename functions
- Fix gtk build problem
- Fix crash without -g
- Improve error messages
- Improve srcline display in various ways
v6:
- Port to latest perf/core
v7:
- Really port to latest perf/core
v8:
- Rebased on 3.16-rc1
v9:
- Rebase on 3.17-rc* tip/perf/core
v10:

- Address review feedback (except where commented). See
the individual patches for changelog. I dropped the -v
option support.
Example output:
% perf record -b -g ./tsrc/tcall
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.044 MB perf.data (~1923 samples) ]
% perf report --branch-history
