perf callchain: Stitch LBR call stack
In LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed LBR call stack limits to the number of LBR registers. For example, on skylake, the depth of reconstructed LBR call stack is always <= 32. # To display the perf.data header info, please use # --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 6K of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 6487119731 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ............... .................. # ................................ 99.97% 99.97% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f43 | --99.64%--f11 f12 f13 f14 f15 f16 f17 f18 f19 f20 f21 f22 f23 f24 f25 f26 f27 f28 f29 f30 f31 f32 f33 f34 f35 f36 f37 f38 f39 f40 f41 f42 f43 For a call stack which is deeper than LBR limit, HW will overwrite the LBR register with oldest branch. Only partial call stacks can be reconstructed. However, the overwritten LBRs may still be retrieved from previous sample. At that moment, HW hasn't overwritten the LBR registers yet. Perf tools can stitch those overwritten LBRs on current call stacks to get a more complete call stack. To determine if LBRs can be stitched, perf tools need to compare current sample with previous sample. - They should have identical LBR records (Same from, to and flags values, and the same physical index of LBR registers). - The searching starts from the base-of-stack of current sample. Once perf determines to stitch the previous LBRs, the corresponding LBR cursor nodes will be copied to 'lists'. The 'lists' is to track the LBR cursor nodes which are going to be stitched. When the stitching is over, the nodes will not be freed immediately. They will be moved to 'free_lists'. Next stitching may reuse the space. Both 'lists' and 'free_lists' will be freed when all samples are processed. Committer notes: Fix the intel-pt.c initialization of the union with 'struct branch_flags', that breaks the build with its unnamed union on older gcc versions. Uninline thread__free_stitch_list(), as it grew big and started dragging includes to thread.h, so move it to thread.c where what it needs in terms of headers are already there. This fixes the build in several systems such as debian:experimental when cross building to the MIPS32 architecture, i.e. in the other cases what was needed was being included by sheer luck.
