[PATCH] perf report: do not drop last inlined frame

From: Milian Wolff
Date: Tue May 16 2017 - 17:54:52 EST


The very last inlined frame, i.e. the one furthest away from the
non-inlined frame, was silently dropped. This is apparent when
comparing the output of `perf script` and `addr2line`:

~~~~~~
$ perf script --inline
...
a.out 26722 80836.309329: 72425 cycles:
21493 __hypot_finite (/usr/lib/libm-2.25.so)
a4a std::abs<double> (inline) (/tmp/a.out)
a4a std::_Norm_helper<true>::_S_do_it<double> (inline) (/tmp/a.out)
a4a std::norm<double> (inline) (/tmp/a.out)
a4a main (/tmp/a.out)
20510 __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.25.so)
bd9 _start (/tmp/a.out)

$ addr2line -a -f -i -e /tmp/a.out a4a | c++filt
0x0000000000000a4a
std::__complex_abs(doublecomplex )
/usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:589
double std::abs<double>(std::complex<double> const&)
/usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:597
double std::_Norm_helper<true>::_S_do_it<double>(std::complex<double> const&)
/usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:654
double std::norm<double>(std::complex<double> const&)
/usr/include/c++/6.3.1/complex:664
main
/tmp/inlining.cpp:14
~~~~~

Note how `std::__complex_abs` is missing from the `perf script`
output. This is similarly showing up in `perf report`. The patch
here fixes this issue, and the output becomes:

~~~~~
