perf report/top: Add option to collapse undesired parts of call graph
For example, in an application with an expensive function implemented
with deeply nested recursive calls, the default call-graph presentation
is dominated by the different callchains within that function. By
ignoring these callees, we can collect the callchains leading into the
function and compactly identify what to blame for expensive calls.
For example, in this report the callers of garbage_collect() are
scattered across the tree:
$ perf report -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
22.03% ruby [.] gc_mark
--- gc_mark
|--59.40%-- mark_keyvalue
| st_foreach
| gc_mark_children
| |--99.75%-- rb_gc_mark
| | rb_vm_mark
| | gc_mark_children
| | gc_marks
| | |--99.00%-- garbage_collect
If we ignore the callees of garbage_collect(), its callers are coalesced:
$ perf report --ignore-callees garbage_collect -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
72.92% ruby [.] garbage_collect
--- garbage_collect
vm_xmalloc
|--47.08%-- ruby_xmalloc
| st_insert2
| rb_hash_aset
| |--98.45%-- features_index_add
| | rb_provide_feature
| | rb_require_safe
| | vm_call_method
