Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 00/14] perf, x86: Haswell LBR call stack support
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2014 19:40:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140409174024.GB22728@two.firstfloor.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140409164852.GA22728@two.firstfloor.org>
BTW the whole discussion is rather pointless.
We have to profile the software as it is, not as we wish it to be.
That means: small functions, often no frame pointer, all kinds of crappy
code and missing information.
And then doing it all with as little overhead as possible.
I think on these metrics callstack LBR is attractive for many
(but not all) cases.
