[PATCH v3 0/2] perf: Fix missing branch counter information in script and annotate
From: Thomas Falcon
Date: Thu May 28 2026 - 11:47:22 EST
This series fixes two issues related to branch counter display in perf.
The first patch fixes a missing '+' indicator in 'perf script' output.
The '+' suffix is used to signal that event occurrences may have been
lost due to branch counter overflow.
The second patch fixes a regression in 'perf annotate' TUI mode where
the Branch Count column was never displayed. The check for whether to
enable branch counter display was performed before events were processed
and the counter data were populated, so the condition was never satisfied.
Determine whether to display the branch counter column after processing
events and populating counter data.
v3: For patch 1/2, guarded against printing a spurious '+' if the branch
counter width is zero, reported by sashiko
v2: Added a cover letter and expanded commit message for patch 1/2.
Patch 2/2 was missing some conditional checks to enable branch counter
display, which have been added back.
