[PATCHSET 0/7] perf annotate: Add TUI support for data type profiling (v2)

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Apr 10 2024 - 23:33:12 EST


Hello,

This is to support interactive TUI browser for type annotation.

v2 changes:
* fix build errors when libslang2 or libdw is missing (Arnaldo)
* update commit messages with examples (Arnaldo)
* skip updating sample histogram for stack canary (Arnaldo)
* add Reviewed-by from Ian

Like the normal (code) annotation, it should be able to display the data type
annotation. Now `perf annotate --data-type` will show the result in TUI by
default if it's enabled. Also `perf report -s type` can show the same output
using a menu item.

It's still in a very early stage and supports the basic functionalities only.
I'll work on more features like in the normal annotation browser later.

The code is also available at 'perf/annotate-data-tui-v2' branch at

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Thanks,
Namhyung
