Subject: [PATCH v5 17/17] perf tools: Merge deferred user callchains
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2025 12:25:46 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250424162634.081387162@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250424162529.686762589@goodmis.org

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

Save samples with deferred callchains in a separate list and deliver
them after merging the user callchains.  If users don't want to merge
they can set tool->merge_deferred_callchains to false to prevent the
behavior.

With previous result, now perf script will show the merged callchains.

  $ perf script
  perf     801 [000]    18.031793:          1 cycles:P:
          ffffffff91a14c36 __intel_pmu_enable_all.isra.0+0x56 ([kernel.kallsyms])

              7fb5fc22034b __GI___ioctl+0x3b (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6)
  ...

The old output can be get using --no-merge-callchain option.
Also perf report can get the user callchain entry at the end.

  $ perf report --no-children --percent-limit=0 --stdio -q -S __intel_pmu_enable_all.isra.0
  # symbol: __intel_pmu_enable_all.isra.0
       0.00%  perf     [kernel.kallsyms]
