Subject: [PATCHSET 0/5] perf ftrace: Implement function latency histogram (v2)
Hello,
I've implemented 'latency' subcommand in the perf ftrace command to
show a histogram of function latency.
v2 changes)
* fix build errors (Arnaldo)
* add Arnaldo's test results in the commit message
* show warning when -b is used and BPF support is not enabled (Athira)
* use skel->links to save bpf links (Song)
To handle new subcommands, the existing functionality is moved to
'trace' subcommand while preserving backward compatibility of not
having a subcommand at all (defaults to 'trace').
The latency subcommand accepts a target (kernel, for now) function
with -T option and shows a histogram like below:
$ sudo ./perf ftrace latency -a -T mutex_lock sleep 1
# DURATION | COUNT | GRAPH |
0 - 1 us | 2686 | ###################### |
1 - 2 us | 976 | ######## |

It basically use the function graph tracer to extract the duration of
the function. But with -b/--use-bpf option, it can use BPF to save
the histogram in the kernel. For the same function, it gets:
$ sudo ./perf ftrace latency -a -b -T mutex_lock sleep 1
# DURATION | COUNT | GRAPH |
0 - 1 us | 4682 | ############################################# |
1 - 2 us | 11 | |
