[PATCH 36/40] perf report: Make --branch-history work without callgraphs(-g) option in perf record
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Jul 26 2017 - 10:21:05 EST
From: Jin Yao <yao.jin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
perf record -b -g <command>
perf report --branch-history
This merges the LBRs with the callgraphs.
However it would be nice if it also works without callgraphs (-g) set in
perf record, so that only the LBRs are displayed. But currently perf
report errors in this case. For example,
perf record -b <command>
perf report --branch-history
Error:
Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did
you call 'perf record' without -g?
This patch displays the LBRs only even if callgraphs(-g) is not enabled
in perf record.
Change log:
v2: According to Milian Wolff's comment, change the obsolete error
message. Now the error message is:
ââError:ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
âSelected -g or --branch-history. â
âBut no callchain or branch data. â
âDid you call 'perf record' without -g or -b?â
â â
â â
âPress any key... â
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
When passing the last parameter to hists__fprintf,
changes "|" to "||".
hists__fprintf(hists, !quiet, 0, 0, rep->min_percent, stdout,
symbol_conf.use_callchain || symbol_conf.show_branchflag_count);
