Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tracing/branch-tracer: adapt to the stat tracing API
Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2008 23:25:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4956b070.0c07560a.2b34.2325@mx.google.com> (raw)
This patch adapts the branch tracer to the tracing API.
This is not really for inclusion but more likely a proof of concept because
the branch tracer implements two "stat tracing" that were split in two files.
So I added an option to the branch tracer: stat_all_branch.
If it is set, then trace_stat will output all of the branches entries stats.
Otherwise, it will print the annotated branches.
Its is a kind of quick trick, waiting for a better solution.
By default, the annotated branches stat are sorted by incorrect branch prediction
percentage.
Ie:
correct incorrect % Function File Line

It enables a developer to quickly address the source of incorrect branch predictions.
Note that this sorting would be better with a second sort on the number of incorrect
predictions.
