perf report: Add callchain value option
Now -g/--call-graph option supports how to display callchain values. Possible values are 'percent', 'period' and 'count'. The percent is same as before and it's the default behavior. The period displays the raw period value rather than the percentage. The count displays the number of occurrences. $ perf report --no-children --stdio -g percent ... 39.93% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idel | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry | |--28.63%-- start_secondary | --11.30%-- rest_init $ perf report --no-children --show-total-period --stdio -g period ... 39.93% 13018705 swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idel | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry | |--9334403-- start_secondary | --3684302-- rest_init $ perf report --no-children --show-nr-samples --stdio -g count ... 39.93% 80 swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_idel | ---intel_idle cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter call_cpuidle cpu_startup_entry | |--57-- start_secondary | --23-- rest_init Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Acked-by: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1447047946-1691-6-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
