[PATCH 08/35] perf db-export: Add calls parent_id to enable creation of call trees

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Mar 07 2019 - 12:45:25 EST


From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>

The call_path can be used to find the parent symbol for a call but not
the exact parent call. To do that add parent_id to the call_return
export. This enables the creation of a call tree from the exported data.
