[PATCH v1 4/4] perf annotate: Enable the '--tui-dump' mode

From: Jin Yao
Date: Tue Mar 13 2018 - 02:23:01 EST


It creates a new option '--tui-dump' in perf annotate command line.

With this option, for example, the perf annotate output:

$ perf annotate compute_flag --tui-dump

Percent IPC Cycle

Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000400640 <compute_flag>:
compute_flag():
volatile int count;
static unsigned int s_randseed;

__attribute__((noinline))
int compute_flag()
{
23.00 1.16 sub $0x8,%rsp
int i;

i = rand() % 2;
23.06 1.16 1 callq rand@plt

return i;
27.01 3.38 mov %eax,%edx
}
3.38 add $0x8,%rsp
{
int i;

i = rand() % 2;

return i;
3.38 shr $0x1f,%edx
3.38 add %edx,%eax
3.38 and $0x1,%eax
3.38 sub %edx,%eax
}
26.93 3.38 2 retq

Compared to TUI output,

$ perf annotate compute_flag
