[PATCH v7 4/5] perf report: use srcline from callchain for hist entries
From: Milian Wolff
Date: Thu Oct 19 2017 - 07:38:58 EST
This also removes the symbol name from the srcline column,
more on this below.
This ensures we use the correct srcline, which could originate
from a potentially inlined function. The hist entries used to
query for the srcline based purely on the IP, which leads to
wrong results for inlined entries.
Before:
~~~~~
perf report --inline -s srcline -g none --stdio

Note that this change removes the symbol from the source:line
hist column. If this information is desired, users should
explicitly query for it if needed. I.e. run this command
instead:
~~~~~
perf report --inline -s sym,srcline -g none --stdio

Compared to the old behavior, this reduces duplication in the output.
Before we used to print the symbol name in the srcline column even
when the sym column was explicitly requested. I.e. the output was:
~~~~~
perf report --inline -s sym,srcline -g none --stdio
