Are callchains already supported by perf top? No, they arent, the move to get 'struct hist_entry' (used by report) and 'struct sym_entry' (used by top) is underway, I want to merge the hists browser with the top browser, at that point it all becomes just one tool: start with 'perf top' press F -> freeze: it becomes 'perf report' in both modes press 'A' and you get annotation, if in top mode, live, if in 'report' mode, static. Having this all integrated and easily switched to/from various modes is what, in my view, makes the TUI (and GUI at some point) compelling. - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-perf-users" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
