Yeah, please press 'E' since you're using the TUI, where you can expand collapse callchains in all its levels. Pressing 'E' will expand all of them, 'C' will collapse it all. Enter on lines with a '+' will expand just that one, etc. Press 'h' to get more help. Or use 'perf report --stdio' and you'll get it all expanded and in plain text. - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
