Previously there were blind spots because we were not looking at symbols
that didn't ocurred in the latest run:
# perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (~801 samples) ]
# perf record usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (~801 samples) ]
Before:
# perf diff
# Event 'cycles'
#
# Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. .............................
#
+10.38% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] get_empty_filp
+9.51% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] update_sd_lb_stats
+9.41% libpopt.so.0.0.0 [.] _init
+9.29% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] vma_interval_tree_insert
9.05% +0.12% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_sys_open
+9.14% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfree
+8.98% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] free_pages_and_swap_cache
+8.78% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unmap_page_range
9.36% -0.90% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] zap_pte_range
7.60% +0.09% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_next_bit
+4.37% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] place_entity
+3.38% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __do_page_fault
+0.80% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_apic_mem_write
0.21% +0.43% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
#
So 9.05 + 9.36 + 7.60 + 0.21 != 100%
Now using the recently introduced hists__link we can see the whole
picture:
# perf diff
# Event 'cycles'
#
# Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. .............................
#
8.44% -8.44% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
9.05% -9.05% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sha_transform
10.55% -10.55% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __d_lookup_rcu
+10.38% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] get_empty_filp
17.70% -17.70% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kmem_cache_free
+9.51% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] update_sd_lb_stats
+9.41% libpopt.so.0.0.0 [.] _init
+9.29% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] vma_interval_tree_insert
9.05% +0.12% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_sys_open
+9.14% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] kfree
+8.98% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] free_pages_and_swap_cache
+8.78% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unmap_page_range
9.36% -0.90% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] zap_pte_range
7.60% +0.09% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_next_bit
+4.37% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] place_entity

4.25% -4.25% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] run_timer_softirq
+0.80% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_apic_mem_write
0.21% +0.43% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
9.16% -9.16% ld-2.12.so [.] close

Now:
8.44 + 9.05 + 10.55 + 17.70 + 9.05 + 9.36 +
7.60 + 4.01 + 9.27 + 0.78 + 0.57 + 4.25 + 0.21 + 9.16 == 100%
