Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] perf report: Show branch flags/cycles in --branch-history callgraph view
v3: 1. Display the count for tsx abort, remove the abort percentage.
2. Since the branch history code has a loop detection that removes
small loops in util/machine.c:remove_loops(). It would be nice to
note how many loops were removed. So it adds the note on some
callchain entries.
v2: Just a rebase to Arnaldo's perf/core branch, no functional changes.
Initial post
perf record -g -b ...
perf report --branch-history
Currently it only shows the branches from the LBR in the callgraph view.
It would be useful to annotate branch predictions and TSX aborts and
also timed LBR cycles also in the callgraph view.
This would allow a quick overview where branch predictions are and how
costly basic blocks are.
For example:
# Overhead Source:Line Symbol Shared Object Predicted Abort Cycles
# ........ ........................... ........................... ................. ......... ..... ......
