perf ftrace: Add 'tail' option to --graph-opts
The 'graph-tail' option is to print function name as a comment at the end. This is useful when a large function is mixed with other functions (possibly from different CPUs). For example, $ sudo perf ftrace -- perf stat true ... 1) | get_unused_fd_flags() { 1) | alloc_fd() { 1) 0.178 us | _raw_spin_lock(); 1) 0.187 us | expand_files(); 1) 0.169 us | _raw_spin_unlock(); 1) 1.211 us | } 1) 1.503 us | } $ sudo perf ftrace --graph-opts tail -- perf stat true ... 1) | get_unused_fd_flags() { 1) | alloc_fd() { 1) 0.099 us | _raw_spin_lock(); 1) 0.083 us | expand_files(); 1) 0.081 us | _raw_spin_unlock(); 1) 0.601 us | } /* alloc_fd */ 1) 0.751 us | } /* get_unused_fd_flags */ Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Changbin Du <changbin.du@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240729004127.238611-2-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
