Subject: [PATCH 10/17] perf report: Prefer DWARF callstacks to LBR ones when captured both
Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2019 16:27:26 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190820192733.19180-11-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190820192733.19180-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Alexey Budankov <alexey.budankov@linux.intel.com>

Display DWARF based callchains when the perf.data file contains raw thread
stack data as LBR callstack data.

Commiter testing:

This changes the output from the branch stack based one, i.e. without
this patch, for the same file as in the previous csets:

  # perf report --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

  #

The branch stack view be explicitely selected using:

  # perf report -h branch-stack

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

      -b, --branch-stack    use branch records for per branch histogram filling

  #

I.e. after this patch:

  # perf report -b --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
