[PATCH v4 3/9] perf c2c: add column rendering for function view
From: Jiebin Sun
Date: Fri Jul 24 2026 - 06:02:47 EST
Add the function view's column renderers: the Cycles %, Store count and
the single indented identity column (function / cacheline) with per-level
indentation, the width/header helpers, the per-function estimated-cycles
computation, and the dimension table tying each column to its renderer and
comparator.
The HPP list parsing that turns a column string into these dimensions is
added by the next patch; symbols consumed only later are __maybe_unused
for now.
