perf report: Add "addr_from" and "addr_to" sort dimensions
With the existing symbol_from/symbol_to, branches captured in the same function would be collapsed into a single function if the latencies associated with the each branch (cycles) were all the same. That is the case on Intel Broadwell, for instance. Since Intel Skylake, the latency is captured by hardware and therefore is used to disambiguate branches. Add addr_from/addr_to sort dimensions to sort branches based on their addresses and not the function there are in. The output is still the function name but the offset within the function is provided to uniquely identify each branch. These new sort dimensions also help with annotate because they create different entries in the histogram which, in turn, generates proper branch annotations. Here is an example using AMD's branch sampling: $ perf record -a -b -c 1000037 -e cpu/branch-brs/ test_prg $ perf report Samples: 6M of event 'cpu/branch-brs/', Event count (approx.): 6901276 Overhead Command Source Shared Object Source Symbol Target Symbol Basic Block Cycle 99.65% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread [.] test_thread - 0.02% test_prg [kernel.vmlinux] [k] asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt [k] error_entry - $ perf report -F overhead,comm,dso,addr_from,addr_to Samples: 6M of event 'cpu/branch-brs/', Event count (approx.): 6901276 Overhead Command Shared Object Source Address Target Address 4.22% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x3c [.] test_thread+0x4 4.13% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x4 [.] test_thread+0x3a 4.09% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x3a [.] test_thread+0x6 4.08% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x2 [.] test_thread+0x3c 4.06% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x3e [.] test_thread+0x2 3.87% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x6 [.] test_thread+0x38 3.84% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread [.] test_thread+0x3e 3.76% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x1e [.] test_thread 3.76% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x38 [.] test_thread+0x8 3.56% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x22 [.] test_thread+0x1e 3.54% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x8 [.] test_thread+0x36 3.47% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x1c [.] test_thread+0x22 3.45% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x36 [.] test_thread+0xa 3.28% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x24 [.] test_thread+0x1c 3.25% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0xa [.] test_thread+0x34 3.24% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x1a [.] test_thread+0x24 3.20% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x34 [.] test_thread+0xc 3.04% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x26 [.] test_thread+0x1a 3.01% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0xc [.] test_thread+0x32 2.98% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x18 [.] test_thread+0x26 2.94% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x32 [.] test_thread+0xe 2.76% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x28 [.] test_thread+0x18 2.73% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0xe [.] test_thread+0x30 2.67% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x30 [.] test_thread+0x10 2.67% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x16 [.] test_thread+0x28 2.46% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x10 [.] test_thread+0x2e 2.44% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x2a [.] test_thread+0x16 2.38% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x14 [.] test_thread+0x2a 2.32% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x2e [.] test_thread+0x12 2.28% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x12 [.] test_thread+0x2c 2.16% test_prg test_prg [.] test_thread+0x2c [.] test_thread+0x14 0.02% test_prg [kernel.vmlinux] [k] asm_sysvec_apic_ti+0x5 [k] error_entry Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@amd.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220208211637.2221872-13-eranian@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
