Subject[PATCH] perf, tools, script: Add brstackinsn for branch stacks
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Implement printing instruction sequences as hex dump for branch stacks.
This relies on the x86 instruction decoder used by the PT decoder to find
the lengths of instructions to dump them individually.

This is good enough for pattern matching.

This allows to study hot paths for individual samples, together with branch
misprediction and cycle count / IPC information if available (on Skylake systems).

% perf record -b ...
% perf script -F brstackinsn
...
read_hpet+67:
ffffffff9905b843 insn: 74 ea # PRED
ffffffff9905b82f insn: 85 c9
ffffffff9905b831 insn: 74 12
ffffffff9905b833 insn: f3 90
ffffffff9905b835 insn: 48 8b 0f
ffffffff9905b838 insn: 48 89 ca
ffffffff9905b83b insn: 48 c1 ea 20
ffffffff9905b83f insn: 39 f2
ffffffff9905b841 insn: 89 d0
ffffffff9905b843 insn: 74 ea # PRED

Only works when no special branch filters are specified.

Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs
may be frozen before executing a final jump. In this case we print
a special message.

The instruction dumper piggy backs on the existing infrastructure from
the IP PT decoder.

An earlier iteration of this patch relied on a disassembler, but
this version only uses the existing instruction decoder.
