From 508be0dfe6287d4e6452f5a1dc08856df74cb217 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Fri, 20 May 2016 13:15:08 -0700 Subject: perf report: Add srcline_from/to branch sort keys Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys that allow to show the source lines of a branch. That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to associate it with cycle counts: % perf record -b -e cycles:p ./tcall % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,mispredict ... 15.10% tcall.c:18 tcall.c:10 N 14.83% tcall.c:11 tcall.c:5 N 14.12% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 N 14.04% tcall.c:12 tcall.c:5 N 12.42% tcall.c:17 tcall.c:18 N 12.39% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:13 N 12.27% tcall.c:13 tcall.c:17 N ... % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,cycles ... 17.12% tcall.c:18 tcall.c:11 1 17.01% tcall.c:12 tcall.c:6 1 16.98% tcall.c:11 tcall.c:6 1 15.91% tcall.c:17 tcall.c:18 1 6.38% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 7 4.80% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 8 4.21% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 8 2.67% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 7 2.62% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 10 2.10% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 9 1.58% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 6 1.44% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 5 1.38% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 9 1.06% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 13 1.05% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:12 4 1.01% tcall.c:7 tcall.c:17 6 Open issues: - Some kernel symbols get misresolved.
