From: Jin Yao Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2017 12:13:09 +0000 (+0800) Subject: perf/core: Define the common branch type classification X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eb0baf8a0d9259d168523b8e7c436b55ade7c546;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git perf/core: Define the common branch type classification It is often useful to know the branch types while analyzing branch data. For example, a call is very different from a conditional branch. Currently we have to look it up in binary while the binary may later not be available and even the binary is available but user has to take some time. It is very useful for user to check it directly in perf report. Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction to get the x86 branch type. To keep consistent on kernel and userspace and make the classification more common, the patch adds the common branch type classification in perf_event.h. The patch only defines a minimum but most common set of branch types. PERF_BR_UNKNOWN : unknown PERF_BR_COND ：conditional PERF_BR_UNCOND : unconditional PERF_BR_IND : indirect PERF_BR_CALL : function call PERF_BR_IND_CALL : indirect function call PERF_BR_RET : function return PERF_BR_SYSCALL : syscall PERF_BR_SYSRET : syscall return PERF_BR_COND_CALL : conditional function call PERF_BR_COND_RET : conditional function return The patch also adds a new field type (4 bits) in perf_branch_entry to record the branch type. Since the disassembling of branch instruction needs some overhead, a new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_TYPE_SAVE is introduced to indicate if it needs to disassemble the branch instruction and record the branch type. Change log: v10: Not changed. v9: Not changed. v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN. No other change. v7: Just keep the most common branch types. Others are removed. v6: Not changed. v5: Not changed. The v5 patch series just change the userspace. v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are: 1. Remove the PERF_BR_JCC_FWD/PERF_BR_JCC_BWD, they will be computed later in userspace. 2. Remove the "cross" field in perf_branch_entry. The cross page computing will be done later in userspace.
