[GIT PULL 00/15] perf/core improvements

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Oct 06 2011 - 13:23:06 EST


Hi Ingo,

Please consider pulling from:

git://github.com/acmel/linux.git perf/core

It makes 'perf top' use the abstractions in 'perf report', allowing it
to:

1. Have total consistency with 'report'

2. Allow --sort to be used to have more views than just 'dso, symbol'
Try 'perf top --sort comm' or 'pid' for instance

3. All the goodies in the TUI, like zooming in/out threads, dsos, etc

4. Integration with Live Annotation

5. In the live annotation window, navigate to functions called by the one
being annotated (x86_64 only right now). This is just an experimentation
in increasing the integration of the multiple perf tools, more of this
kind to come.

6. Initial callchain support, not yet decaying it over time as the main
view.

Also in this batch is the work Stephane did on including information
about the machine where the perf.data file was collected.

Regards,

- Arnaldo
