perf record/report: Add call graph / call chain profiling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add the first steps of call-graph profiling:

 - add the -c (--call-graph) option to perf record
 - parse the call-graph record and printout out under -D (--dump-trace)

The call-graph data is not put into the histogram yet, but it
can be seen that it's being processed correctly:

0x3ce0 [0x38]: event: 35
.
. ... raw event: size 56 bytes
.  0000:  23 00 00 00 05 00 38 00 d4 df 0e 81 ff ff ff ff  #.....8........
.  0010:  60 0b 00 00 60 0b 00 00 03 00 00 00 01 00 02 00  `...`..........
.  0020:  d4 df 0e 81 ff ff ff ff a0 61 ed 41 36 00 00 00  .........a.A6..

0x3ce0 [0x38]: PERF_EVENT (IP, 5): 2912: 0xffffffff810edfd4 period: 1
... chain: u:2, k:1, nr:3
.....  0: 0xffffffff810edfd4
.....  1: 0x3641ed61a0
.....  2: 0x3641e69204
 ... thread: perf:2912
 ...... dso: [kernel]

This shows a 3-entry call-graph: with 1 kernel-space and two user-space
entries
