Add a new report to display a call tree. The Call Tree report is very
similar to the Context-Sensitive Call Graph, but the data is not
aggregated. Also the 'Count' column, which would be always 1, is replaced
by the 'Call Time'.
Committer testing:
$ cat simple-retpoline.c
/*
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190109091835.5570-6-adrian.hunter@intel.com
$ gcc -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -O2 -o simple-retpoline simple-retpoline.c
$ objdump -d simple-retpoline
*/
__attribute__((noinline)) int bar(void)
{
return -1;
}
int foo(void)
{
return bar() + 1;
}
__attribute__((indirect_branch("thunk"))) int main()
{
int (*volatile fn)(void) = foo;
fn();
return fn();
}
$
$ perf record -o simple-retpoline.perf.data -e intel_pt/cyc/u ./simple-retpoline
$ perf script -i simple-retpoline.perf.data --itrace=be -s ~acme/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py simple-retpoline.db branches calls
$ python ~acme/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py simple-retpoline.db
And in the GUI select:
"Reports"
"Call Tree"
Call Path | Object | Call Time (ns) | Time (ns) | Time (%) | Branch Count | Brach Count (%) |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
