perf hists browser: Fix segfault when showing callchain

2015-01-08T14:59:16+00:00

When perf report on TUI shows callchain it checks first node has
siblings to determine whether it needs to print percentage value.

But it missed a case that first node is NULL.  So sometimes it segfaults
like below:

  $ perf top -g
  perf: Segmentation fault
  -------- backtrace --------
  perf[0x4fcefb]
  /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x33b20)[0x7f2a35839b20]

  $ addr2line -e `which perf` 0x4f6058
  /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:553

I don't know why the backtrace didn't print some symbols..

perf hists: Fix children sort key behavior

2015-01-08T14:26:56+00:00

When perf report --children resorts output fields, it tries to put
caller above the callee.  But this was only meaningful for a same thread
and doing this requires callchain enabled.  So fix its check before
comparing the callchain depth.

This also changes the hist accumulation tests: In test 3, xmalloc in
bash thread should be above than other perf threads due to alphabetical
order of comm string.  Also it's under page_fault in bash thread since
alphabetical order of dso name.  The sys_perf_event_open in perf thread
is put on the last line since it's self overhead is 0.

In test 4, the sys_perf_event_open is put above other perf entries that
have same children overhead since its callchain depth is smaller.

perf hists browser: Change print format from %lu to %PRIu64

2014-12-09T12:14:32+00:00

The nr_events variable in tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c is of type u64,
so the print format (%lu) causes 'perf report' to show 0 event count
when running with 32-bit userspace without redirection.

This patch fixes that problem by printing nr_events as PRIu64.

perf tools: Collapse first level callchain entry if it has sibling

2014-11-24T14:34:33+00:00

If first level callchain has more than single path like when -g caller
option is given, it should show only first one in the path and hide
others.  But it didn't do it properly and just hindered the output.

Before:
  -   80.33%    11.11%  abc2     abc2              [.] main
     + 86.18% main

After:
  -   80.33%    11.11%  abc2     abc2              [.] main

perf hists browser: Print overhead percent value for first-level callchain

2014-11-24T14:28:48+00:00

Currently perf report on TUI doesn't print percent for first-level
callchain entry.

I guess it (wrongly) assumes that there's only a single callchain in the
first level.

This patch fixes it by handling the first level callchains same as
others - if it's not 100% it should print the percent value.

Also it'll affect other callchains in the other way around - if it's
100% (single callchain) it should not print the percentage.

Before:
  -   30.95%     6.84%  abc2     abc2              [.] a
     - a
        - 70.00% c

After:

perf annotate: Support source line numbers in annotate

2014-11-19T15:33:48+00:00

With srcline key/sort'ing it's useful to have line numbers in the
annotate window. This patch implements this.

Use objdump -l to request the line numbers and save them in the line
structure. Then the browser displays them for source lines.

The line numbers are not displayed by default, but can be toggled on
with 'k'

There is one unfortunate problem with this setup. For lines not
containing source and which are outside functions objdump -l reports
line numbers off by a few: it always reports the first line number in
the next function even for lines that are outside the function.

I haven't found a nice way to detect/correct this. Probably objdump has
to be fixed.

See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16433

The line numbers are still useful even with these problems, as most are
correct and the ones which are not are nearby.

v2: Fix help text. Handle (discriminator...) output in objdump.
Left align the line numbers.

perf top: Add a visual cue for toggle zeroing of samples

2014-10-15T18:47:48+00:00

When 'perf top' is run, one can't easily find a difference
between -z option and normal output.
So I added a visual cue to know whether it is the zeroing or not.

Output is as below.

Before:
 $ perf top

 Samples: 61K of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 3908136933
 Overhead  Shared Object                       Symbol
    1.42%  firefox                             [.] 0x0000000000011e76
    1.32%  libpthread-2.17.so                  [.] pthread_mutex_lock

If you press key 'z' or run with zero option like '$ perf top --zero', it is as below.

After:
 Samples: 61K of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 3908136933 [z]
 Overhead  Shared Object                       Symbol
    1.42%  firefox                             [.] 0x0000000000011e76
    1.32%  libpthread-2.17.so                  [.] pthread_mutex_lock
