    perf report: Add support for callchain graph output · 4eb3e478
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    Currently, the printing of callchains is done in a single
    vertical level, this is the "flat" mode:
    
    8.25%  [k] copy_user_generic_string
                 4.19%
                    copy_user_generic_string
                    generic_file_aio_read
                    do_sync_read
                    vfs_read
                    sys_pread64
                    system_call_fastpath
                    pread64
    
    This patch introduces a new "graph" mode which provides a
    hierarchical output of factorized paths recursively sorted:
    
     8.25%  [k] copy_user_generic_string
                    |
                    |--4.31%-- generic_file_aio_read
                    |          do_sync_read
                    |          vfs_read
                    |          |
                    |          |--4.19%-- sys_pread64
                    |          |          system_call_fastpath
                    |          |          pread64
                    |          |
                    |           --0.12%-- sys_read
                    |                     system_call_fastpath
                    |                     __read
                    |
                    |--3.24%-- generic_file_buffered_write
                    |          __generic_file_aio_write_nolock
                    |          generic_file_aio_write
                    |          do_sync_write
                    |          reiserfs_file_write
                    |          vfs_write
                    |          |
                    |          |--3.14%-- sys_pwrite64
                    |          |          system_call_fastpath
                    |          |          __pwrite64
                    |          |
                    |           --0.10%-- sys_write
    [...]
    
    The command line has then changed.
    
    By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the
    flat mode by default.
    
    But you can override it:
    
        perf report -c graph
    
    or
    
        perf report -c flat
    
    You can also pass the abreviated mode:
    
        perf report -c g
    
    or
    
        perf report -c gra
    
    will both make use of the graph mode.
