v3: Iterate on RIPs of all callchain entries to check if the RIP is in inline functions.
Reverse the order of the inliner printout if necessary. Provide new options "--inline-line" / "--inline-name" to print inline function name or print inline function source line. v2: Thanks so much for Arnaldo's comments! The modifications are: 1. Divide v1 patch "perf report: Find the inline stack for a given address" into 2 patches: a. perf report: Refactor common code in srcline.c b. perf report: Find the inline stack for a given address Some function names are changed: dso_name_get -> dso__name ilist_apend -> inline_list__append get_inline_node -> dso__parse_addr_inlines free_inline_node -> inline_node__delete 2. Since the function name are changed, update following patches accordingly. a. perf report: Show inline stack in stdio mode b. perf report: Show inline stack in browser mode 3. Rebase to latest perf/core branch. This patch is impacted. a. perf report: Create a new option "--inline" v1: Initial post It would be useful for perf to support a mode to query the inline stack for callgraph addresses. This would simplify finding the right code in code that does a lot of inlining. For example, the c code: static inline void f3(void) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 1000;) { if(i%2) i++; else i++; } printf("hello f3\n"); /* D */ } /* < CALLCHAIN: f2 <- f1 > */ static inline void f2(void) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) { f3(); /* C */ } } /* < CALLCHAIN: f1 <- main > */ static inline void f1(void) { int i; for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) { f2(); /* B */ } } /* < CALLCHAIN: main <- TOP > */ int main() { struct timeval tv; time_t start, end; gettimeofday(&tv, NULL); start = end = tv.tv_sec; while((end - start) < 5) { f1(); /* A */ gettimeofday(&tv, NULL); end = tv.tv_sec; } return 0; } The printed inline stack is: 0.05% test2 test2 [.] main | ---/home/perf-dev/lck-2867/test/test2.c:27 (inline) /home/perf-dev/lck-2867/test/test2.c:35 (inline) /home/perf-dev/lck-2867/test/test2.c:45 (inline) /home/perf-dev/lck-2867/test/test2.c:61 (inline) I tag A/B/C/D in above c code to indicate the source line, actually the inline stack is equal to: 0.05% test2 test2 [.] main | ---D C B A Jin Yao (5): perf report: Refactor common code in srcline.c perf report: Find the inline stack for a given address perf report: Create new inline options perf report: Show inline stack in stdio mode perf report: Show inline stack in browser mode tools/perf/Documentation/perf-report.txt | 8 ++ tools/perf/builtin-report.c | 4 + tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c | 170 ++++++++++++++++++++-- tools/perf/ui/stdio/hist.c | 75 +++++++++- tools/perf/util/hist.c | 5 + tools/perf/util/sort.h | 1 + tools/perf/util/srcline.c | 237 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- tools/perf/util/symbol-elf.c | 5 + tools/perf/util/symbol.h | 6 +- tools/perf/util/util.h | 16 +++ 10 files changed, 489 insertions(+), 38 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4
