vfs_read sys_pread64 system_call_fastpath pread64 This patch introduces a new "graph" mode which provides a hierarchical output of factorized paths recursively sorted: 8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string | |--4.31%-- generic_file_aio_read | do_sync_read | vfs_read | | | |--4.19%-- sys_pread64 | | system_call_fastpath | | pread64 | | | --0.12%-- sys_read | system_call_fastpath | __read | |--3.24%-- generic_file_buffered_write | __generic_file_aio_write_nolock | generic_file_aio_write | do_sync_write | reiserfs_file_write | vfs_write | | | |--3.14%-- sys_pwrite64 | | system_call_fastpath | | __pwrite64 | | | --0.10%-- sys_write [...] The command line has then changed. By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the flat mode by default. But you can override it: perf report -c graph or perf report -c flat You can also pass the abreviated mode: perf report -c g or perf report -c gra will both make use of the graph mode.
