[PATCH v2 3/3] perf report: Display average IPC and IPC coverage per symbol

From: Jin Yao
Date: Mon Nov 26 2018 - 23:18:42 EST


Support displaying the average IPC and IPC coverage for symbol
in perf report TUI browser. We create a new sort-key 'ipc' for
that.

For example,

$ perf record -g -b ...
$ perf report -s symbol,ipc or
perf report -s ipc

Overhead Symbol IPC [IPC Coverage]
39.60% [.] __random 2.30 [ 54.8%]
18.02% [.] main 0.43 [ 54.3%]
14.21% [.] compute_flag 2.29 [100.0%]
14.16% [.] rand 0.36 [100.0%]
7.06% [.] __random_r 2.57 [ 70.5%]
6.85% [.] rand@plt 0.00 [ 0.0%]

Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> provided the patch to support the
stdio mode. I merged Jiri's code in this patch.

$ perf report -s ipc --stdio

# Overhead Symbol IPC [IPC Coverage]
# ........ ........................... ....................
#
39.60% [.] __random 2.30 [ 54.8%]
18.02% [.] main 0.43 [ 54.3%]
14.21% [.] compute_flag 2.29 [100.0%]
14.16% [.] rand 0.36 [100.0%]
7.06% [.] __random_r 2.57 [ 70.5%]
6.85% [.] rand@plt 0.00 [ 0.0%]
0.02% [k] run_timer_softirq 1.60 [ 57.2%]
