From f2e14cd2c93699aa0aeaa8240457ab359f1258ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2019 10:56:59 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf top: Lift restriction on using callchains without "sym" in --sort This restriction is not present in 'perf report' and since 'perf top' uses the same hists browser, remove it from it as well. With this we create per event buckets with callchain trees, so that # perf top --sort dso -g --no-children Bucketizes samples by DSO and below it shows the callchains leading to functions in this DSO. Try also: # perf top -e sched:*switch -g --no-children To see the callchains leading to sched switches, pressing 'E' to expand all one can quickly see the most common scheduler switches and what leads to them, for instance, calls to IO, futexes, etc. Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190107140854.GA28965@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/builtin-top.c | 7 +------ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-top.c b/tools/perf/builtin-top.c index fe3ecfb2e64b..f64e312db787 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-top.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-top.c @@ -1028,12 +1028,7 @@ static int perf_top__start_counters(struct perf_top *top) static int callchain_param__setup_sample_type(struct callchain_param *callchain) { - if (!perf_hpp_list.sym) { - if (callchain->enabled) { - ui__error("Selected -g but \"sym\" not present in --sort/-s."); - return -EINVAL; - } - } else if (callchain->mode != CHAIN_NONE) { + if (callchain->mode != CHAIN_NONE) { if (callchain_register_param(callchain) < 0) { ui__error("Can't register callchain params.\n"); return -EINVAL; -- 2.45.2
