[PATCH v2 0/3] perf report/annotate: Support average IPC and IPC coverage for function

From: Jin Yao
Date: Mon Nov 26 2018 - 23:18:42 EST


Add supporting of displaying the average IPC and IPC coverage
percentage per function.

For example,

$ perf record -g -b ...
$ perf report -s symbol,ipc or
perf report -s symbol,ipc --stdio

Overhead Symbol IPC [IPC Coverage]
39.60% [.] __random 2.30 [ 54.8%]
18.02% [.] main 0.43 [ 54.3%]
14.21% [.] compute_flag 2.29 [100.0%]
14.16% [.] rand 0.36 [100.0%]
7.06% [.] __random_r 2.57 [ 70.5%]
6.85% [.] rand@plt 0.00 [ 0.0%]
...

$ perf annotate --stdio2

Percent IPC Cycle (Average IPC: 2.30, IPC Coverage: 54.8%)

Disassembly of section .text:

000000000003aac0 <random@@GLIBC_2.2.5>:

v2:
---
1. Merge in Jiri's patch to support stdio mode

2. Add a new patch "perf annotate: Create a annotate2 flag
in struct symbol" which records if the symbol has been
annotated yet.

3. Minor update such as adding { } for multiline code in 'if'
condition.

Jin Yao (3):
perf annotate: Compute average IPC and IPC coverage per symbol
perf annotate: Create a annotate2 flag in struct symbol
perf report: Display average IPC and IPC coverage per symbol
