Subject: [PATCH 7/9] perf, tools, top: Add branch annotation code to top
Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2015 08:24:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437233094-12844-8-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1437233094-12844-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org>
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
Now that we can process branch data in annotate it makes sense to support
enabling branch recording from top too. Most of the code needed for
this is already in shared code with report. But we need to add:
- The option parsing code (using shared code from the previous patch)
- Document the options
- Set up the IPC/cycles accounting state in the top session
- Call the accounting code in the hist iter callback

+ The option requires at least one branch type among any, any_call, any_ret, ind_call, cond.
+ The privilege levels may be omitted, in which case, the privilege levels of the associated
+ event are applied to the branch filter. Both kernel (k) and hypervisor (hv) privilege
+ levels are subject to permissions. When sampling on multiple events, branch stack sampling
+ is enabled for all the sampling events. The sampled branch type is the same for all events.
+ The various filters must be specified as a comma separated list: --branch-filter any_ret,u,k
+ Note that this feature may not be available on all processors.
