#1635443 — [PATCH v1 2/2] perf report: Display titles in left frame of annotate browser

FromJin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>

Subject[PATCH v1 2/2] perf report: Display titles in left frame of annotate browser
Message-ID<tDj3H-bE-19@gated-at.bofh.it>
The annotate browser is divided into 2 frames. Left frame
contains 3 columns (some platforms only have one column).

For example:

                   │26  int compute_flag()
                   │27  {
 22.80  1.20       │      sub    $0x8,%rsp
                   │25          int i;
                   │
                   │27          i = rand() % 2;
 22.78  1.20     1 │    → callq  rand@plt

While it's hard for user to understand what the data is.

This patch adds the titles "Percent", "IPC" and "Cycle"
on columns.

Percnt   IPC Cycle │
                   │25  __attribute__((noinline))
                   │26  int compute_flag()
                   │27  {
 22.80  1.20       │      sub    $0x8,%rsp
                   │25          int i;
                   │
                   │27          i = rand() % 2;
 22.78  1.20     1 │    → callq  rand@plt

The titles are displayed at row 0 of annotate browser if row 0
doesn't have values of percent, ipc and cycle.

Functionality wise a really good improvement - thanks! But personally I find 
the abbreviation of one character (i.e. "Percnt" instead of "Percent") not so 
nice. If space really is an issue here, use "%"?

Also note though that it's unclear what this percentage actually is. I guess 
it's a sample percentage? Maybe a header should be added that explains these 
values to newbies. I bet many people won't even know what IPC is either.

Cheers

Ok, will make it 'Percent' as we have space for that, and will add
Acked-by: Millian, ok?

Perhaps we could have some help files, then when the user presses 'h'
one of the lines would be:

  h   Report explanation (columns, etc)

?

Just one L, but otherwise yes :)

Yeah I think that would be a good addition for the future.

Sure, sorry about that, c'n'pasted from a message from you, so should be
all well.
