[PATCH 1/3] perfcounter: Set the minimum percent for callchains to be displayed
From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Thu Jul 02 2009 - 14:15:15 EST
Callchains output may become a burden on a trace because even
rarely hit site are exposed. This can be too much information.
Let the user set a threshold as a minimum percent of hits using
the new pattern for the -c option:
-c mode,min_percent
Example:
$ perf report -s sym -c flat,4
8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string
4.19%
copy_user_generic_string
generic_file_aio_read
do_sync_read
vfs_read
sys_pread64
system_call_fastpath
pread64
5.39% [k] search_by_key
4.63% 0x00000000009e0a
2.36% [k] memcpy_c
[...]
$ perf report -s sym -c graph,2
8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string
|
|--4.31%-- generic_file_aio_read
| do_sync_read
| vfs_read
| |
| --4.19%-- sys_pread64
| system_call_fastpath
| pread64
|
--3.24%-- generic_file_buffered_write
__generic_file_aio_write_nolock
generic_file_aio_write
do_sync_write
reiserfs_file_write
vfs_write
|
--3.14%-- sys_pwrite64
system_call_fastpath
__pwrite64
5.39% [k] search_by_key
|
--2.23%-- reiserfs_update_sd_size
4.63% 0x00000000009e0a
2.36% [k] memcpy_c
[...]
You can also omit it and it will default to 0.
