Perf report has supported the displaying of LBR stats (such as cycles, predicted%) in callchain entry.
For example, perf report --branch-history --stdio --1.01%--intel_idle mwait.h:29 intel_idle cpufeature.h:164 (cycles:5) intel_idle cpufeature.h:164 (predicted:76.4%) intel_idle mwait.h:102 (cycles:41) intel_idle current.h:15 While perf top has not supported that. For example, perf top -a -b --call-graph branch - 13.86% 0.23% [kernel] [k] __x86_indirect_thunk_rax - 13.65% __x86_indirect_thunk_rax + 1.69% do_syscall_64 + 1.68% do_select + 1.41% ktime_get + 0.70% __schedule + 0.62% do_sys_poll 0.58% __x86_indirect_thunk_rax Actually it's very easy to enable this feature in perf top. With this patch, the result is: perf top -a -b --call-graph branch - 13.58% 0.00% [kernel] [k] __x86_indirect_thunk_rax - 13.57% __x86_indirect_thunk_rax (predicted:93.9%) + 1.78% do_select (cycles:2) + 1.68% perf_pmu_disable.part.99 (cycles:1) + 1.45% ___sys_recvmsg (cycles:25) + 0.81% unix_stream_sendmsg (cycles:18) + 0.80% ktime_get (cycles:400) 0.58% pick_next_task_fair (cycles:47) + 0.56% i915_request_retire (cycles:2) + 0.52% do_sys_poll (cycles:4) Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao....@linux.intel.com> --- tools/perf/builtin-top.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-top.c b/tools/perf/builtin-top.c index d21d875..7691b21 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-top.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-top.c @@ -1420,6 +1420,9 @@ int cmd_top(int argc, const char **argv) } } + if (opts->branch_stack && callchain_param.enabled) + symbol_conf.show_branchflag_count = true; + sort__mode = SORT_MODE__TOP; /* display thread wants entries to be collapsed in a different tree */ perf_hpp_list.need_collapse = 1; -- 2.7.4
