From 26e779245dd6f5270c0696860438e5c03d0780fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2015 14:45:37 +0900 Subject: perf report: Support folded callchain mode on --stdio Add new call chain option (-g) 'folded' to print callchains in a line. The callchains are separated by semicolons, and preceded by (absolute) percent values and a space. For example, the following 20 lines can be printed in 3 lines with the folded output mode: $ perf report -g flat --no-children | grep -v ^# | head -20 60.48% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle 54.60% intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry start_secondary 5.88% intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry rest_init start_kernel x86_64_start_reservations x86_64_start_kernel $ perf report -g folded --no-children | grep -v ^# | head -3 60.48% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idle 54.60% intel_idle;cpuidle_enter_state;cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary 5.88% intel_idle;cpuidle_enter_state;cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel This mode is supported only for --stdio now and intended to be used by some scripts like in FlameGraphs[1]. Support for other UI might be added later.
