[PATCH v2 0/5] perf report: Support sorting all blocks by cycles

From: Jin Yao
Date: Tue Oct 15 2019 - 01:35:07 EST


It would be useful to support sorting for all blocks by the
sampled cycles percent per block. This is useful to concentrate
on the globally hottest blocks.

This patch series implements a new sort option "total_cycles" which
sorts all blocks by 'Sampled Cycles%'. The 'Sampled Cycles%' is
block sampled cycles aggregation / total sampled cycles

For example,

perf record -b ./div
perf report -s total_cycles --stdio

# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 2M of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 2753248
#
# Sampled Cycles% Sampled Cycles Avg Cycles% Avg Cycles [Program Block Range] Shared Object
# ............... .............. ........... .......... ................................................................. ....................

1.44% 116.0K 0.42% 19 [random_r.c:357 -> random_r.c:394] libc-2.27.so
......

This patch series supports both stdio and tui. And also with the supporting
of --percent-limit.
