perf record/report: Add call graph / call chain profiling
Add the first steps of call-graph profiling:
- add the -c (--call-graph) option to perf record
- parse the call-graph record and printout out under -D (--dump-trace)
The call-graph data is not put into the histogram yet, but it
can be seen that it's being processed correctly:
0x3ce0 [0x38]: event: 35
.
. ... raw event: size 56 bytes
. 0000: 23 00 00 00 05 00 38 00 d4 df 0e 81 ff ff ff ff #.....8........
. 0010: 60 0b 00 00 60 0b 00 00 03 00 00 00 01 00 02 00 `...`..........
. 0020: d4 df 0e 81 ff ff ff ff a0 61 ed 41 36 00 00 00 .........a.A6..
. 0030: 04 92 e6 41 36 00 00 00 .a.A6..
.
0x3ce0 [0x38]: PERF_EVENT (IP, 5): 2912: 0xffffffff810edfd4 period: 1
... chain: u:2, k:1, nr:3
..... 0: 0xffffffff810edfd4
..... 1: 0x3641ed61a0
..... 2: 0x3641e69204
... thread: perf:2912
...... dso: [kernel]
This shows a 3-entry call-graph: with 1 kernel-space and two user-space
entries
