perf script: Show branch speculation info
Show the branch speculation info if provided by the branch recording
hardware feature. This can be useful for optimizing code further.
The speculation info is appended to the end of the list of fields so any
existing tools that use "/" as a delimiter for access fields via an index
remain unaffected. Also show "-" instead of "N/A" when speculation info
is unavailable because "/" is used as the field separator.
E.g.
$ perf record -j any,u,save_type ./test_branch
$ perf script --fields brstacksym
Before:
[...]
check_match+0x60/strcmp+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL
do_lookup_x+0x3c5/check_match+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL
[...]
After:
[...]
check_match+0x60/strcmp+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL/NON_SPEC_CORRECT_PATH
do_lookup_x+0x3c5/check_match+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL/NON_SPEC_CORRECT_PATH
[...]
The bitfield swapping scheme used duing sample parsing has changed
because of the addition of new branch flags, namely "spec", "new_type"
and "priv". Earlier, these were all part of the "reserved" field but
now, each of these fields get swapped separately. Change the expected
flag values accordingly for the test to pass.
E.g.
$ perf test -v 27
Before:
27: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 61979
parsing failed for sample_type 0x800
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sample parsing: FAILED!
After:
27: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 63293
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
Sample parsing: Ok
