With the '--group' option, even for non-explicit group, perf annotate will enable the group output.
For example, perf record -e cycles,branches ./div perf annotate main --stdio --group : Disassembly of section .text: : : 00000000004004b0 <main>: : main(): : : return i; : } : : int main(void) : { 0.00 0.00 : 4004b0: push %rbx : int i; : int flag; : volatile double x = 1212121212, y = 121212; : : s_randseed = time(0); 0.00 0.00 : 4004b1: xor %edi,%edi : srand(s_randseed); 0.00 0.00 : 4004b3: mov $0x77359400,%ebx : : return i; : } : But if without --group, there is only one event reported. perf annotate main --stdio : Disassembly of section .text: : : 00000000004004b0 <main>: : main(): : : return i; : } : : int main(void) : { 0.00 : 4004b0: push %rbx : int i; : int flag; : volatile double x = 1212121212, y = 121212; : : s_randseed = time(0); 0.00 : 4004b1: xor %edi,%edi : srand(s_randseed); 0.00 : 4004b3: mov $0x77359400,%ebx : : return i; : } Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao....@linux.intel.com> --- tools/perf/builtin-annotate.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-annotate.c b/tools/perf/builtin-annotate.c index 6e5d9f7..da57042 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-annotate.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-annotate.c @@ -45,6 +45,7 @@ struct perf_annotate { bool print_line; bool skip_missing; bool has_br_stack; + bool group_set; const char *sym_hist_filter; const char *cpu_list; DECLARE_BITMAP(cpu_bitmap, MAX_NR_CPUS); @@ -508,6 +509,9 @@ int cmd_annotate(int argc, const char **argv) "Don't shorten the displayed pathnames"), OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "skip-missing", &annotate.skip_missing, "Skip symbols that cannot be annotated"), + OPT_BOOLEAN_SET(0, "group", &symbol_conf.event_group, + &annotate.group_set, + "Show event group information together"), OPT_STRING('C', "cpu", &annotate.cpu_list, "cpu", "list of cpus to profile"), OPT_CALLBACK(0, "symfs", NULL, "directory", "Look for files with symbols relative to this directory", @@ -570,6 +574,9 @@ int cmd_annotate(int argc, const char **argv) annotate.has_br_stack = perf_header__has_feat(&annotate.session->header, HEADER_BRANCH_STACK); + if (annotate.group_set) + perf_evlist__force_leader(annotate.session->evlist); + ret = symbol__annotation_init(); if (ret < 0) goto out_delete; -- 2.7.4
