This patch enhances perf report to auto-detect when the
perf.data file contains samples with branch stacks. That way it
is not necessary to use the -b option.
To force branch view mode to off, simply use --no-branch-stack.

I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the
hypervisor:
...
60.20% [H] 0x33d43c
4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
1.07% [k] ._spin_lock
Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted
this.
The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown
bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the
real picture:
...
57.11% [.] 0x80fbf63c
4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
1.07% [k] ._spin_lock
0.65% [H] 0x33d43c
So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile
suggested.
I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows
multiple entries for the unknown bucket:
...
16.65% [.] 0x6cd3a8
7.25% [.] 0x422460
5.37% [.] yylex
4.79% [.] malloc
4.78% [.] _int_malloc
4.03% [.] _int_free
3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string
2.82% [.] 0x532908
2.64% [.] 0x36b538
0.94% [H] 0x8000000000e132a4
0.82% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0
This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On
one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved
samples sym is NULL so we match:
if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym)
return 0;
On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when
comparing against a symbol:
ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip;
ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip;
This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we
can't merge them all.
If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket
and the output makes more sense:
...
39.12% [.] 0x36b538
5.37% [.] yylex
4.79% [.] malloc
4.78% [.] _int_malloc
4.03% [.] _int_free
3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string
2.26% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0

So that the parent sort dimension can be registered twice: once
if we add it as an explicit sort dimension (-s parent) and twice
if we request a parent filter (-p foo).
We'll have only one parent sort dimension in the end but this
allows to override the default parent filter with we gave in "-p"
option. The goal of this is to prepare to allow the use of
"-s parent" and "-p foo" at the same time, ie: sort by filtered
parent.

In the event that a DSO has not been identified, just print out [unknown]
instead of the instruction pointer as we previously were doing, which is pretty
meaningless for a shared object (at least to the users perspective).
The IP we print out is fairly meaningless in general anyway - it's just one
(the first) of the many addresses that were lumped together as unidentified,
and could span many shared objects and symbols. In reality if we see this
[unknown] output then the report -D output is going to be more useful anyway as
we can see all the different address that it represents.
If we are printing the symbols we are still going to see this IP in that column
anyway since they shouldn't resolve either.
This patch also changes the symbol address printouts so that they print out 0x
before the address, are left aligned, and changes the %L format string (which
relies on a glibc bug) to %ll.

OPT_SET_INT was renamed to OPT_SET_UINT since the only use in these
tools is to set something that has an enum type, that is builtin
compatible with unsigned int.
Several string constifications were done to make OPT_STRING require a
const char * type.

struct sort_entry has a callback named snprintf that turns an
entry into a string result.
But there are glibc versions that implement snprintf through a
macro. The following expression is then going to get the snprintf
call preprocessed:
ent->snprintf(...)
to finally end up in a build error:
util/hist.c: Dans la fonction «hist_entry__snprintf» :
util/hist.c:539: erreur: «struct sort_entry» has no member named «__builtin___snprintf_chk»
To fix this, prepend struct sort_entry callbacks with an "se_"
prefix.

Then hist_entry__fprintf will just us the newly introduced
hist_entry__snprintf, add the newline and fprintf it to the supplied
FILE descriptor.
This allows us to remove the use_browser checking in the color_printf
routines, that now got color_snprintf variants too.
The newt TUI browser (and other GUIs that may come in the future) don't
have to worry about stdio specific stuff in the strings they get from
the se->snprintf routines and instead use whatever means to do the
equivalent.
Also the newt TUI browser don't have to use the fmemopen() hack, instead
it can use the se->snprintf routines directly. For now tho use the
hist_entry__snprintf routine to reduce the patch size.

That will be in both struct hist_entry and struct
callchain_list, so that the TUI can store a pointer to the pair
(map, symbol) in the trees where hist_entries and
callchain_lists are present, to allow precise annotation instead
of looking for the first symbol with the selected name.

That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:
$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
samples) ] perf diff | head -8
9.02% +1.00% find libc-2.10.1.so [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
2.91% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] __kmalloc
2.85% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
1.99% -1.00% find [kernel] [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
2.44% find [kernel] [k] half_md4_transform
$
So if you want to zoom into libc:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
37.34% find [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% find [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% find [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% find [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% find [.] _int_free
$
And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:
$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% [.] _int_free
$
The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:
perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34% [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34% [.] __GI_memmove
8.25% +2.00% [.] _int_malloc
5.07% -1.00% +2 [.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62% +2.00% -1 [.] _int_free
$
Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:
$ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove

Currently, the callchains are displayed using a constant left
margin. So depending on the current sort dimension
configuration, callchains may appear to be well attached to the
first sort dimension column field which is mostly the case,
except when the first dimension of sorting is done by comm,
because these are right aligned.
This patch binds the callchain to the first letter in the first
column, whatever type of column it is (dso, comm, symbol).

Also, for clarity, we don't put anymore the callchain as is but:
- If we have a top level ancestor in the callchain, start it
with a first ascii hook.

While recursively printing the branches of each callchains, we
forget to display the root. It is never printed.
Say we have:
symbol
f1
f2
|
-------- f3
| f4
|
---------f5
f6
Actually we never see that, instead it displays:
symbol
|
--------- f3
| f4
|
--------- f5
f6
However f1 is always the same than "symbol" and if we are
sorting by symbols first then "symbol", f1 and f2 will be well
aligned like in the above example, so displaying f1 looks
redundant here.
But if we are sorting by something else first (dso, comm,
etc...), displaying f1 doesn't look redundant but rather
necessary because the symbol is not well aligned anymore with
its callchain:
comm dso symbol
f1
f2
|
--------- [...]
And we want the callchain to be obvious.
So we fix the bug by printing the root branch, but we also
filter its first entry if we are sorting by symbols first.

Representing modules as struct map entries, backed by a DSO, etc,
using /proc/modules to find where the module is loaded.
DSOs now can have a short and long name, so that in verbose mode we
can show exactly which .ko or vmlinux image was used.
As kernel modules now are a DSO separate from the kernel, we can
ask for just the hits for a particular set of kernel modules, just
like we can do with shared libraries:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -n --vmlinux
/home/acme/git/build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux --modules --dsos \[drm\] | head -15
84.58% 13266 Xorg [k] drm_clflush_pages
4.02% 630 Xorg [k] trace_kmalloc.clone.0
3.95% 619 Xorg [k] drm_ioctl
2.07% 324 Xorg [k] drm_addbufs
1.68% 263 Xorg [k] drm_gem_close_ioctl
0.77% 120 Xorg [k] drm_setmaster_ioctl
0.70% 110 Xorg [k] drm_lastclose
0.68% 106 Xorg [k] drm_open
0.54% 85 Xorg [k] drm_mm_search_free
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
Specifying --dsos /lib/modules/2.6.31-tip/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
would have the same effect. Allowing specifying just 'drm.ko' is left
for another patch.
Processing kallsyms so that per kernel module struct map are
instantiated was also left for another patch. That will allow
removing the module name from each of its symbols.
struct symbol was reduced by removing the ->module backpointer and
moving it (well now the map) to struct symbol_entry in perf top,
that is its only user right now.
The total linecount went down by ~500 lines.
