2009-10-23perf tools: Bind callchains to the first sort dimension columnFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+9
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). Before: 0.80% perf [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify | | __fsnotify_parent After: 0.80% perf [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify | | __fsnotify_parent 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. Before: 0.80% perf [kernel] [k] __lock_acquire __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify [..] [..] After: 0.80% perf [kernel] [k] __lock_acquire | --- __lock_acquire lock_acquire | |--58.33%-- _spin_lock | | | |--28.57%-- inotify_should_send_event | | fsnotify [..] [..] - Otherwise, if we have several top level ancestors, then display these like we did before: 1.69% Xorg | |--21.21%-- vread_hpet | 0x7fffd85b46fc | 0x7fffd85b494d | 0x7f4fafb4e54d | |--15.15%-- exaOffscreenAlloc | |--9.09%-- I830WaitLpRing Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1256246604-17156-2-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-10-23perf tools: Fix missing top level callchainFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+1
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.

2009-10-02perf tools: Rewrite and improve support for kernel modulesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-5/+2
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. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: "H.
