perf annotate browser: Allow showing offsets in more than just jump targets

2018-04-12T13:33:09Z

Jesper wanted to see offsets at callq sites when doing some performance investigation related to retpolines, so save him some time by providing a 'O' hotkey to allow showing offsets from function start at call instructions or in all instructions, just go on pressing 'O' till the offsets you need appear.

perf hists browser: Remove leftover from row returned from refresh

2018-04-06T15:23:25Z

The per-browser screen refresh routine (ui_browser->refresh()) should return the first row that should be cleaned after the rows just printed, in case not all rows available on the screen gets filled. When moving the extra title lines logic from the hists browser to the generic ui_browser class, one piece of that logic remained in the hists browser and then when going back from the annotate browser to the hists browser in a case where fewer lines were displayed in the hists browser, for instance when filtering the entries per substring, one line of the annotate browser would remain on the screen, fix that. Example of the screen artifact: ================================================================================ Samples: 73K of event 'cycles:ppp', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.): 45172901394 Overhead Shared O Symbol 0.30% [kernel] [k] __indirect_thunk_start 0.09% [kernel] [k] __x86_indirect_thunk_r10 │ lfence ================================================================================ Here from 'perf top' the view was zoomed with '/thunk' to functions having that substring, then the first was annotated and from the annotate browser ESC was pressed, then the first lines were overwritten, but the 'lfence' line remained due to the off by one bug fixed in this cset.

perf ui browser: Fixup cleaning unused lines at the bottom

2018-04-05T14:51:28Z

Now that we can have extra title lines we should use ui_browser->rows and not ->height when drawing lines, as well as adding ui_browser->extra_title_lines to browser->y when cleaning unused lines at the bottom, otherwise we end up clobbering with spaces the last line just shown by ui_browser->refresh() routine.

perf annotate browser: Fixup vertical line separating metrics from instructions

2018-04-05T14:50:44Z

Now that we can have extra title lines we should use ui_browser->rows and not ->height when drawing lines, as it will use ui_browser__gotorc() and that will take the extra title lines into account, which was causing an off by one at the end of the vertical line drawn by __ui_browser__vline(), fix it.

perf ui browser: Move the extra title lines from the hists browser

2018-04-03T13:24:26Z

This will be useful for the annotate browser as well, that wants to have extra title lines, i.e. the current ui_browser unconditionally reserves the first line for a browser title and the last one for status messages. But some browsers, like the buckets one (hists browser) needs extra lines to show headers, allowing it to be shown or not, press 'H' in 'perf top' or 'perf report' to see this feature. So move that logic to the core ui_browser used by the hists_browser ('perf top' and 'perf report' main interface) so that it can be used by the annotate browser too.

perf hists: Move hists__scnprintf_title() away from the TUI code

2018-04-03T13:23:32Z

The previous patch made this function useful to non-TUI parts of the tools, but left it where the function from what it was carved, so that the patch showed more clearly the process. Now just move it outside the TUI parts so that we can finally use it, even when the TUI code doesn't get built/linked.
