Hello,

This is a new attempt to implement cumulative hist period report.
This work begins from Arun's SORT_INCLUSIVE patch [1] but I completely
rewrote it from scratch.

This version depends on my previous percentage patchset [2] and output
field patchset[3].  So please test this again although there's not
much change in the series itself.

This patchset basically adds period in a sample to every node in the
callchain.  A hist_entry now has an additional fields to keep the
cumulative period if --children option is given on perf report.

I changed the option as a separate --children and added a new
"Children" column (and renamed the default "Overhead" column into
"Self").  The output will be sorted by children (cumulative) overhead
for now.  It also adds 'overhead_children' field to -F/--fields option
to be selected by user and it'll show you "N/A" if the cumulation is
not supported (due to missing callchain).

 * changes in v9:
  - support output field option
  - add Acked-by tags from Jiri

 * changes in v8:
  - not depends on --percentage patchkit
  - fix callchain resolving bug (Jiri)
  - convert to sample__resolve_{mem,bstack}
  - eliminate 'event' field from hist_entry_iter

 * changes in v7:
  - add Tested-by tags from Arun
  - rebase onto current acme/perf/core

 * changes in v6:
  - separate struct hist_iter_ops (Jiri)
  - check iter->he before calling ->add_entry_cb (Jiri)
  - fix locking issue on perf top (Jiri)

 * changes in v5:
  - support both of --children and --call-graph (Arun)
  - refactor hist_entry_iter to share with perf top (Jiri)
  - various cleanups and fixes (Jiri)
  - add ack's from Jiri

 * changes in v4:
  - change to --children option (Ingo)
  - rebased on new annotation change (Arnaldo)
  - support perf top also
  - enable --children option by default (Ingo)

 * changes in v3:
  - change to --cumulate option
  - fix a couple of bugs (Jiri, Rodrigo)
  - rename some help functions (Arnaldo)
  - cache previous hist entries rathen than just symbol and dso
  - add some preparatory cleanups
  - add report.cumulate config option


Let me show you an example:

  $ cat abc.c
  #define barrier() asm volatile("" ::: "memory")

  void a(void)
  {
  	int i;
  	for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
  		barrier();
  }
  void b(void)
  {
  	a();
  }
  void c(void)
  {
  	b();
  }
  int main(void)
  {
  	c();
  	return 0;
  }

With this simple program I ran perf record and report:

  $ perf record -g -e cycles:u ./abc


Case 1.

  $ perf report --stdio --no-call-graph --no-children

  # Overhead  Command      Shared Object          Symbol
  # ........  .......  .................  ..............
  #
      91.50%      abc  abc                [.] a         
       8.18%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] strlen    
       0.31%      abc  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] page_fault
       0.01%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] _start    


Case 2. (current default behavior)

  $ perf report --stdio --call-graph --no-children

  # Overhead  Command      Shared Object          Symbol
  # ........  .......  .................  ..............
  #
      91.50%      abc  abc                [.] a         
                  |
                  --- a
                      b
                      c
                      main
                      __libc_start_main

       8.18%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] strlen    
                  |
                  --- strlen
                      _dl_sysdep_start

       0.31%      abc  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] page_fault
                  |
                  --- page_fault
                      _start

       0.01%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] _start    
                  |
                  --- _start


Case 3.

  $ perf report --no-call-graph --children --stdio

  #     Self  Children  Command      Shared Object                 Symbol
  # ........  ........  .......  .................  .....................
  #
       0.00%    91.50%      abc  libc-2.17.so       [.] __libc_start_main
       0.00%    91.50%      abc  abc                [.] main             
       0.00%    91.50%      abc  abc                [.] c                
       0.00%    91.50%      abc  abc                [.] b                
      91.50%    91.50%      abc  abc                [.] a                
       0.00%     8.18%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] _dl_sysdep_start 
       8.18%     8.18%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] strlen           
       0.01%     0.33%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] _start           
       0.31%     0.31%      abc  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] page_fault       

As you can see __libc_start_main -> main -> c -> b -> a callchain show
up in the output.

Finally, it looks like below with both option enabled:

Case 4. (default behavior?)

  $ perf report --call-graph --children --stdio

  #     Self  Children  Command      Shared Object                 Symbol
  # ........  ........  .......  .................  .....................
  #
       0.00%    91.50%      abc  libc-2.17.so       [.] __libc_start_main
                  |
                  --- __libc_start_main

       0.00%    91.50%      abc  abc                [.] main             
                  |
                  --- main
                      __libc_start_main

       0.00%    91.50%      abc  abc                [.] c                
                  |
                  --- c
                      main
                      __libc_start_main

       0.00%    91.50%      abc  abc                [.] b                
                  |
                  --- b
                      c
                      main
                      __libc_start_main

      91.50%    91.50%      abc  abc                [.] a                
                  |
                  --- a
                      b
                      c
                      main
                      __libc_start_main
  ...


Currently the perf enables both of --call-graph and --children when it
finds callchains in the samples.  While this is useful for TUI or GTK,
I'm not sure for stdio as it'd consume so much lines.

It does not handle all kind of cases like event annotation yet, but I
really want to release it and get reviews.

You can also get this series on 'perf/cumulate-v9' branch in my tree at:
