Thanks

It would be useful for perf to support a mode to query the
inline stack for callgraph addresses. This would simplify
finding the right code in code that does a lot of inlining.
For example, the c code:
static inline void f3(void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000;) {
if(i%2)
i++;
else
i++;
}
printf("hello f3\n"); /* D */
}
/* < CALLCHAIN: f2 <- f1 > */
static inline void f2(void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
f3(); /* C */
}
}
/* < CALLCHAIN: f1 <- main > */
static inline void f1(void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
f2(); /* B */
}
}
/* < CALLCHAIN: main <- TOP > */
int main()
{
struct timeval tv;
time_t start, end;
gettimeofday(&tv, NULL);
start = end = tv.tv_sec;
while((end - start) < 5) {
f1(); /* A */
gettimeofday(&tv, NULL);
end = tv.tv_sec;
}
return 0;
}
The printed inline stack is:
0.05% test2 test2 [.] main

---/home/perf-dev/lck-2867/test/test2.c:27 (inline)
/home/perf-dev/lck-2867/test/test2.c:35 (inline)
/home/perf-dev/lck-2867/test/test2.c:45 (inline)
/home/perf-dev/lck-2867/test/test2.c:61 (inline)
I tag A/B/C/D in above c code to indicate the source line,
actually the inline stack is equal to:
0.05% test2 test2 [.] main
