Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] perf script: treport add flamegraph support
Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2025 01:24:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250725082425.20999-2-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250725082425.20999-1-irogers@google.com>
From: Alice Rogers <alice.mei.rogers@gmail.com>
Implement a flamegraph widget that recursively walks down a tree
splitting line segments based on their value (summed up periods across
call chains). A visitor pattern is used so that the same logic can
both draw the line segments and locate which segment had a mouse
click.
Add a tab for the flame graph widget.
