      perf tools: Construct LBR call chain · 384b6055
      Kan Liang 提交于
      LBR call stack only has user-space callchains. It is output in the
      PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK data format. For kernel callchains, it's
      still in the form of PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN.
      
      The perf tool has to handle both data sources to construct a
      complete callstack.
      
      For the "perf report -D" option, both lbr and fp information will be
      displayed.
      
      A new call chain recording option "lbr" is introduced into the perf
      tool for LBR call stack. The user can use --call-graph lbr to get
      the call stack information from hardware.
      
      Here are some examples.
      
      When profiling bc(1) on Fedora 19:
      
        echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd; perf record --call-graph lbr bc -l < cmd
      
      If enabling LBR, perf report output looks like:

      The LBR call stack has the following known limitations:
      
       - Zero length calls are not filtered out by the hardware
      
       - Exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns not
         match
      
       - Pushing different return address onto the stack will have
         calls/returns not match
      
       - If callstack is deeper than the LBR, only the last entries are
         captured

      perf tools: Enable LBR call stack support · aad2b21c
      Kan Liang 提交于
      Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf.
      
      Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to
      record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a
      third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call
      stack support on the tooling side.
      
      LBR call stack has some limitations:
      
       - It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record
         can not be enabled at the same time.
      
       - It is only available for user-space callchains.
      
      However, it also offers some advantages:
      
       - LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers
         or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing
         else works.
