[PATCH 1/4] perf ftrace: Add 'tail' option to --graph-opts

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Sun Jul 28 2024 - 20:41:45 EST


The 'graph-tail' option is to print function name as a comment at the end.
This is useful when a large function is mixed with other functions
(possibly from different CPUs).

For example,

$ sudo perf ftrace -- perf stat true
...
1) | get_unused_fd_flags() {
1) | alloc_fd() {
1) 0.178 us | _raw_spin_lock();
1) 0.187 us | expand_files();
1) 0.169 us | _raw_spin_unlock();
1) 1.211 us | }
1) 1.503 us | }

$ sudo perf ftrace --graph-opts tail -- perf stat true
...
1) | get_unused_fd_flags() {
1) | alloc_fd() {
1) 0.099 us | _raw_spin_lock();
1) 0.083 us | expand_files();
1) 0.081 us | _raw_spin_unlock();
1) 0.601 us | } /* alloc_fd */
1) 0.751 us | } /* get_unused_fd_flags */
