perf top: Split -G and --call-graph
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Splitting -G and --call-graph for record command, so we could use '-G'
with no option.

The '-G' option now takes NO argument and enables the configured unwind
method, which is currently the frame pointers method.

It will be possible to configure unwind method via config file in
upcoming patches.

All current '-G' arguments is overtaken by --call-graph option.

NOTE: The documentation for top --call-graph option
      was wrongly copied from report command.

--asm-raw::
Show raw instruction encoding of assembly instructions.

-G::
Enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording.

--call-graph::
Display call chains using type, min percent threshold and order.
type can be either:
- flat: single column, linear exposure of call chains.
- graph: use a graph tree, displaying absolute overhead rates.
- fractal: like graph, but displays relative rates. Each branch of
the tree is considered as a new profiled object.

order can be either:
- callee: callee based call graph.
- caller: inverted caller based call graph.

Default: fractal,0.5,callee.
Setup and enable call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording,
implies -G.

--ignore-callees=<regex>::
Ignore callees of the function(s) matching the given regex.
