[PATCH] perf report: Tag branch type/flag on "to" and tag cycles on "from"
From: Jin Yao
Date: Sun Jul 23 2017 - 23:12:29 EST
Current --branch-history LBR annotation displays confused
data. For example, each cycles report is duplicated on both
"from" and "to" entries.
For example:
perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio
--2.32%--main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7% cycles:1)
main div.c:44 (predicted:49.7% cycles:1)
main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:2)
compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2)
compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1)
rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:1)
__random random.c:298 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)
The cycles should be tagged only on the "from". It's for
the code block that ends with "from", not for "to".
Another issue is the "predicted:49.7%" is duplicated too
(tag on both "from" and "to").
This patch tags the branch type/flag on "to" and tag the
cycles on "from".
For example:
--2.32%--main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7%)
main div.c:44 (cycles:1)
main div.c:42 (RET CROSS_2M)
compute_flag div.c:28 (cycles:2)
compute_flag div.c:27 (RET CROSS_2M)
rand rand.c:28 (cycles:1)
rand rand.c:28 (RET CROSS_2M)
__random random.c:298 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:297 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M)
__random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
__random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M)
|
--2.23%--__random_r random_r.c:392 (cycles:9)
In this example, The "main div.c:39 (COND_BWD CROSS_2M predicted:49.7%)"
is "to" of branch and "main div.c:44 (cycles:1)" is "from" of branch.
It should be easier for understanding than before.
