Subject: [PATCH V2 0/6] perf intel-pt: Improve the data displayed when using address filters
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 16:00:42 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180920130048.31432-1-adrian.hunter@intel.com> (raw)
Hi
Here is V2 of some Intel PT patches to improve the data displayed when using
address filters.
Previously, the decoder would indicate begin / end by a branch from / to
zero. That hides useful information, in particular when a trace ends with a
call. That happens when using address filters, for example:
$ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc,mtc_period=0,noretcomp/u --filter='filter main @ /bin/uname ' uname
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data ]
Before:
$ perf script --itrace=cre -Ftime,flags,ip,sym,symoff,addr --ns
7249.622183310: tr strt 0 [unknown] => 401590 main+0x0
