Subject: [PATCH v7 2/9] perf c2c: add function view browser skeleton
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 15:42:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806074217.2846596-3-jiebin.sun@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806074217.2846596-1-jiebin.sun@intel.com>
Add the skeleton of the c2c function view: a new TUI browser in
tools/perf/ui/browsers/c2c-function.c reached by pressing TAB in the
cacheline view. This commit wires up the entry point (a stub that will be
filled in by later patches), declares perf_c2c__browse_function_view() in
c2c.h, and adds the TAB key handler and help text to the cacheline browser.
Link c2c-function.o directly into perf rather than libperf-ui.a. The
browser is part of the c2c command and later patches make it depend on
state and callbacks provided by builtin-c2c.o. libperf-ui.a is also linked
into python/perf.so under --whole-archive, without the builtin command
objects, which would leave those command-private symbols unresolved.
Build the browser only with CONFIG_SLANG, matching its TUI-only entry
point.
