hi, adding support to display diff for more than 2 perf.data files. Sending as RFC, since the change touches lot of hists code, so I might be breaking something I missed.. still testing.
Also it could colide with Namhyung changes for group report wrt patches 7 and 8, where I changed the linking of matching hists entries. The doc was updated with info about current perf diff processing. Attached patches: 01/14 perf tool: Introduce perf_hpp__list for period related columns 02/14 perf tool: Add struct perf_hpp_fmt into hpp callbacks 03/14 perf tool: Fix period symbol_conf.field_sep display 04/14 perf diff: Remove displacement from struct hist_entry_diff 05/14 perf diff: Change compute methods to work with pair directly 06/14 perf diff: Change formula methods to work with pair directly 07/14 perf diff: Add callback to hists__match/hists__link functions 08/14 perf diff: Change diff command to work over multiple data files 09/14 perf diff: Update perf diff documentation for multiple data comparison 10/14 perf tool: Centralize default columns init in perf_hpp__init 11/14 perf diff: Making compute functions static 12/14 perf diff: Display data file info ahead of the diff output 13/14 perf diff: Display zero calculation results 14/14 perf diff: Add generic order option for compute sorting Example of multiple perf diff output: $ perf diff perf.data.[123456] # Event 'cycles:u' # # Data files: # [0] perf.data.1 # [1] perf.data.2 # [2] perf.data.3 # [3] perf.data.4 # [4] perf.data.5 # [5] perf.data.6 # # Baseline/0 Delta/1 Delta/2 Delta/3 Delta/4 Delta/5 Shared Object Symbol # .......... ....... ....... ....... ....... ....... ................. ......................... # +73.05% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault +26.16% ld-2.15.so [.] _dl_next_ld_env_entry +15.40% ld-2.15.so [.] _dl_sysdep_start 71.48% -26.52% libc-2.15.so [.] __strcmp_sse2 27.69% -1.65% -4.83% -4.68% ld-2.15.so [.] dl_main 0.82% -0.05% -0.34% -0.15% -0.13% -0.03% ld-2.15.so [.] _start +39.15% libc-2.15.so [.] error_tail +73.18% libc-2.15.so [.] __strcasecmp_l_sse2 +76.30% libc-2.15.so [.] __stpcpy_sse2 +76.46% libc-2.15.so [.] _IO_getline_info thanks, jirka Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijls...@chello.nl> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mi...@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <pau...@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjash...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweis...@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhy...@kernel.org> --- tools/perf/Documentation/perf-diff.txt | 77 ++++++++-- tools/perf/builtin-diff.c | 747 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c | 22 +-- tools/perf/ui/gtk/browser.c | 26 +--- tools/perf/ui/hist.c | 392 ++++++++++++++--------------------------------- tools/perf/ui/stdio/hist.c | 17 +-- tools/perf/util/hist.c | 29 ++-- tools/perf/util/hist.h | 42 ++--- tools/perf/util/sort.h | 38 ++--- 9 files changed, 855 insertions(+), 535 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
