perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classes
This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top':
1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old
"KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes
that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields.
2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period.
And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in
'perf report', for instance:
[root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso
PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs)

0.06% cyclictest
^C
All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols,
etc.
The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the
zoom operations, do annotation, etc.
This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as
well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.

perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classes
This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top':
1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old
"KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes
that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields.
2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period.
And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in
'perf report', for instance:
[root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso
PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs)

All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols,

This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as
well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.

"relative" means it's relative to filtered entries only so that the

--branch-filter::
|
|
|
|
|
Enable taken branch stack sampling. Each sample captures a series of consecutive

|
|
taken branches. The number of branches captured with each sample depends on the
|
|
|
|
|
underlying hardware, the type of branches of interest, and the executed code.
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible to select the types of branches captured by enabling filters.
|
|
|
|
|
For a full list of modifiers please see the perf record manpage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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

Enable this to use just the most recent records, which helps in high core count

|
|
machines such as Knights Landing/Mill, but right now is disabled by default as
|
|
|
|
|
the pausing used in this technique is leading to loss of metadata events such
|
|
|
|
|
as PERF_RECORD_MMAP which makes 'perf top' unable to resolve samples, leading
|
|
|
|
|
to lots of unknown samples appearing on the UI. Enable this if you are in such
|
|
|
|
|
machines and profiling a workload that doesn't creates short lived threads and/or
|
|

|
|
doesn't uses many executable mmap operations. Work is being planed to solve
|
|
|

this situation, till then, this will remain disabled by default.
