Hello,
This patchset adds 'delta-abs' compute method to -c/--compute option.
The 'delta-abs' is same as 'delta' but shows entries with bigger
absolute delta first instead of sorting numerically. This is only
useful together with -o option.
* v2 changes
- rebase onto acme/perf/core
- change default option to '-o 1 -c delta-abs'
Below is default output (-c delta):
$ perf diff -o 1 -c delta | grep -v ^# | head
42.22% +4.97% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cfb_imageblit
0.62% +1.23% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mutex_lock
+1.15% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string
2.40% +0.95% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] bit_putcs
0.31% +0.79% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] link_path_walk
+0.64% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kmem_cache_alloc
0.00% +0.57% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __rcu_read_unlock
+0.45% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] alloc_set_pte
0.16% +0.45% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] menu_select
+0.41% ld-2.24.so [.] do_lookup_x
Now with 'delta-abs' it shows entries have bigger delta value either
positive or negative.
$ perf diff -o 1 -c delta-abs | grep -v ^# | head
42.22% +4.97% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cfb_imageblit

The patch 2 and 3 are to add config options to control the default
behavior of perf diff command. And patch 4 changes the default setting.
The code is avaiable at 'perf/diff-delta-abs-v2' branch in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git
Thanks,
Namhyung
