The hist__account_cycles() function is executed when the hist_iter__branch_callback() is called. But it looks it's not necessary. In hist__account_cycles, it already walks on all branch entries. This patch moves the hist__account_cycles out of callback, now the data processing is much faster than before. Previous code has an issue that the ch[offset].num++ (in __symbol__account_cycles) is executed repeatedly since hist__account_cycles is called in each hist_iter__branch_callback, so the counting of ch[offset].num is not correct (too big). With this patch, the issue is fixed. And we don't need the code of "ch->reset >= ch->num / 2" to check if there are too many overlaps (in annotation__count_and_fill), otherwise some data would be hidden. Now, we can try, for example: perf record -b ... perf annotate or perf report -s symbol The before/after output should be no change. v3: --- Fix the crash in stdio mode. Like previous code, it needs the checking of ui__has_annotation() before hist__account_cycles() v2: --- 1. Cover the similar perf report 2. Remove the checking code "ch->reset >= ch->num / 2" Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jin Yao <yao.jin@intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1552684577-29041-1-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
