perf report: Add support for srcfile sort key
In some cases it's useful to characterize samples by file. This is
useful to get a higher level categorization, for example to map cost to
subsystems.
Add a srcfile sort key to perf report. It builds on top of the existing
srcline support.
Commiter notes:
E.g.:
# perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (13 samples) ]
[root@zoo ~]# perf report -s srcfile --stdio
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 13 of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 869878
#
# Overhead Source File
# ........ ...........
60.99% .
20.62% paravirt.h
14.23% rmap.c
4.04% signal.c
0.11% msr.h
#
The first line is collecting all the files for which srcfiles couldn't somehow
get resolved to:
# perf report -s srcfile,dso --stdio
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 13 of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 869878
#
# Overhead Source File Shared Object
# ........ ........... ................
40.97% . ld-2.20.so
20.62% paravirt.h [kernel.vmlinux]
20.02% . libc-2.20.so
14.23% rmap.c [kernel.vmlinux]
4.04% signal.c [kernel.vmlinux]
0.11% msr.h [kernel.vmlinux]
#
XXX: Investigate why that is not resolving on Fedora 21, Andi says he hasn't
seen this on Fedora 22.
