[PATCH v2 4/5] perf report: Show branch type statistics for stdio mode

From: Jin Yao
Date: Thu Apr 06 2017 - 22:50:48 EST


Show the branch type statistics at the end of perf report --stdio.

For example:
perf report --stdio

JCC forward: 27.7%
JCC backward: 9.8%
JMP: 0.0%
IND_JMP: 6.5%
CALL: 26.6%
IND_CALL: 0.0%
RET: 29.3%
IRET: 0.0%
CROSS_4K: 0.0%
CROSS_2M: 14.3%

The branch types are:
---------------------
JCC forward: Conditional forward jump
JCC backward: Conditional backward jump
JMP: Jump imm
IND_JMP: Jump reg/mem
CALL: Call imm
IND_CALL: Call reg/mem
RET: Ret
SYSCALL: Syscall
SYSRET: Syscall return
IRQ: HW interrupt/trap/fault
INT: SW interrupt
IRET: Return from interrupt
FAR_BRANCH: Others not generic branch type

CROSS_4K and CROSS_2M:
----------------------
They are the metrics checking for branches cross 4K or 2MB pages.
It's an approximate computing. We don't know if the area is 4K or
2MB, so always compute both.

To make the output simple, if a branch crosses 2M area, CROSS_4K
will not be incremented.
