This is a breakdown of perf_mem_data_src.mem_lvl_num. But it's also
divided into two parts because the combination is bigger than 8.
Since there are many entries for different cache levels, 'cache' field
focuses on them. I generalized buffers like LFB, MAB and MHB to L1-buf
and L2-buf.
The rest goes to 'memory' field which can be RAM, CXL, PMEM, IO, etc.
$ perf mem report -F cache,mem,dso --stdio

This is an actual example of the he_mem_stat based sample breakdown. It
uses 'mem_op' field of union perf_mem_data_src which means memory
operations.
It'd have basically 'load' or 'store' which can be useful if PMU doesn't
have separate events for them like IBS or SPE. In addition, there's an
entry in case load and store happen at the same time. Also adds entries
for prefetching and execution.

This is a preparation for later changes to support mem_stat output. The
new fields will need two lines for the header - the first line will show
type of mem stat and the second line will show the name of each item
which is returned by mem_stat_name().
Each element in the mem_stat array will be printed in percentage for the
hist_entry and their sum would be 100%.
Add new output field dimension only for SORT_MODE__MEM using mem_stat.
To handle possible name conflict with existing sort keys, move the order
of checking output field dimensions after the sort dimensions when it
looks for sort keys.

In 7cecb7fe83 ("perf hists: Move sort__has_comm into struct
perf_hpp_list") it assumes that act->thread is set prior to calling
do_zoom_thread().
This doesn't happen when we use ESC or the Left arrow key to Zoom out of
a specific thread, making this operation not to work and we get stuck
into the thread zoom.
In 6422184b08 ("perf hists browser: Simplify zooming code using
pstack_peek()") it says no need to set actions->thread, and at that
point that was true, but in 7cecb7fe83 a actions->thread == NULL
check was added before the zoom out of thread could kick in.
We can zoom out using the alternative 't' thread zoom toggle hotkey to
finally set actions->thread before calling do_zoom_thread() and zoom
out, but lets also fix the ESC/Zoom out of thread case.

The 'e' key is to toggle expand/collapse the selected entry only. But
the current code has a bug that it only increases the number of entries
by 1 in the hierarchy mode so users cannot move under the current entry
after the key stroke. This is due to a wrong assumption in the
hist_entry__set_folding().
The commit b33f922651 ("perf hists browser: Put hist_entry folding
logic into single function") factored out the code, but actually it
should be handled separately. The hist_browser__set_folding() is to
update fold state for each entry so it needs to traverse all (child)
entries regardless of the current fold state. So it increases the
number of entries by 1.
But the hist_entry__set_folding() only cares the currently selected
entry and its all children. So it should count all unfolded child
entries. This code is implemented in hist_browser__toggle_fold()
already so we can just call it.

For a while we need to have a dummy event for doing things like
receiving PERF_RECORD_COMM, PERF_RECORD_EXEC, etc for threads being
created and dying while we synthesize the pre-existing ones at tool
start.
This 'dummy' event is needed for keeping track of thread lifetime events
early in the session but are uninteresting otherwise, i.e. no need to
have it in a initial events menu for the non-grouped case, i.e. for:
# perf top -e cycles,instructions
or even for plain:
# perf top
When 'cycles' and that 'dummy' event are in place.
The code to remove that 'dummy' event ended up creating an endless loop
for the grouped case, i.e.:
# perf top -e '{cycles,instructions}'
Fix it.

the hist_entry__title() call was cut'n'pasted to a function where the

When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group information
together. In previous patch, we have supported a new option "--group-sort-idx"
to sort the output by the event at the index n in event group.
It would be nice if we can use a hotkey in browser to select a event
to sort.

# perf report --group

2. Report warning at helpline when it's not group event.

For perf report on stripped binaries it is currently impossible to do
annotation. The annotation state is all tied to symbols, but there are
either no symbols, or symbols are not covering all the code.
We should support the annotation functionality even without symbols.
This patch fakes a symbol and the symbol name is the string of address.
After that, we just follow current annotation working flow.
For example,
1. perf report
Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
20.67% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random_r
17.29% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random
10.59% div div [.] 0x0000000000000628
9.25% div div [.] 0x0000000000000612
6.11% div div [.] 0x0000000000000645
2. Select the line of "10.59% div div [.] 0x0000000000000628" and ENTER.
Annotate 0x0000000000000628
Zoom into div thread
Zoom into div DSO (use the 'k' hotkey to zoom directly into the kernel)
Browse map details
Run scripts for samples of symbol [0x0000000000000628]
Run scripts for all samples
Switch to another data file in PWD
Exit
3. Select the "Annotate 0x0000000000000628" and ENTER.
Percent│
│
│
│ Disassembly of section .text:
│
│ 0000000000000628 <.text+0x68>:
│ divsd %xmm4,%xmm0
│ divsd %xmm3,%xmm1
│ movsd (%rsp),%xmm2
│ addsd %xmm1,%xmm0
│ addsd %xmm2,%xmm0
│ movsd %xmm0,(%rsp)
Now we can see the dump of object starting from 0x628.
v5:
---
Remove the hotkey 'a' implementation from this patch. It
will be moved to a separate patch.
v4:
---
1. Support the hotkey 'a'. When we press 'a' on address,
now it supports the annotation.
2. Change the patch title from
"Support interactive annotation of code without symbols" to
"perf report: Support interactive annotation of code without symbols"
v3:
---
Keep just the ANNOTATION_DUMMY_LEN, and remove the
opts->annotate_dummy_len since it's the "maybe in future
we will provide" feature.
v2:
---
Fix a crash issue when annotating an address in "unknown" object.
The steps to reproduce this issue:
perf record -e cycles:u ls
perf report
75.29% ls ld-2.27.so [.] do_lookup_x
23.64% ls ld-2.27.so [.] __GI___tunables_init
1.04% ls [unknown] [k] 0xffffffff85c01210
0.03% ls ld-2.27.so [.] _start
When annotating 0xffffffff85c01210, the crash happens.
v2 adds checking for ms->map in add_annotate_opt(). If the object is
"unknown", ms->map is NULL.
Committer notes:
Renamed new_annotate_sym() to symbol__new_unresolved().
Use PRIx64 to fix this issue in some 32-bit arches:
ui/browsers/hists.c: In function 'symbol__new_unresolved':
ui/browsers/hists.c:2474:38: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 5 has type 'u64' {aka 'long long unsigned int'} [-Werror=format=]
