From 410024dbbcb1df5b8140a812b4f1a4dbd62ef924 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jin Yao Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2016 09:19:49 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf report: Add branch flag to callchain cursor node Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing, this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag. Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what the branch flag it has. The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations. For example: Before remove_loops(), entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 After remove_loops() entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200 entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250 entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800 The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations (from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1). iterations = removed number + 1; average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good enough.
