Subject: [PATCH v13 08/11] perf tools: Minimal CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED support
Date: Mon, 07 Jul 2025 22:00:11 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250708020051.268700027@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250708020003.565862284@kernel.org
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
Add a new event type for deferred callchains and a new callback for the
struct perf_tool. For now it doesn't actually handle the deferred
callchains but it just marks the sample if it has the PERF_CONTEXT_
USER_DEFFERED in the callchain array.
At least, perf report can dump the raw data with this change. Actually
this requires the next commit to enable attr.defer_callchain, but if you
already have a data file, it'll show the following result.
$ perf report -D
...
0x5fe0@perf.data [0x40]: event: 22
