perf report: Add support for srcfile sort key
In some cases it's useful to characterize samples by file. This is useful to get a higher level categorization, for example to map cost to subsystems. Add a srcfile sort key to perf report. It builds on top of the existing srcline support. Commiter notes: E.g.: # perf record -F 10000 usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (13 samples) ] [root@zoo ~]# perf report -s srcfile --stdio # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 13 of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 869878 # # Overhead Source File # ........ ........... 60.99% . 20.62% paravirt.h 14.23% rmap.c 4.04% signal.c 0.11% msr.h # The first line is collecting all the files for which srcfiles couldn't somehow get resolved to: # perf report -s srcfile,dso --stdio # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 13 of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 869878 # # Overhead Source File Shared Object # ........ ........... ................ 40.97% . ld-2.20.so 20.62% paravirt.h [kernel.vmlinux] 20.02% . libc-2.20.so 14.23% rmap.c [kernel.vmlinux] 4.04% signal.c [kernel.vmlinux] 0.11% msr.h [kernel.vmlinux] # XXX: Investigate why that is not resolving on Fedora 21, Andi says he hasn't seen this on Fedora 22.
