perf hists browser: Fix percent display in callchains
When there's only a single callchain, perf doesn't print its percentage in front of the symbols. This is because it assumes that the percentage is same as parents. But if a percent limit is applied, it's possible that there are actually a couple of child nodes but only one of them is shown. In this case it should display the percent to prevent misunderstanding of its percentage is same as the parent's. For example, let's see the following callchain. $ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.01 --tui ... - 0.06% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace kmem_cache_alloc_trace - perf_event_mmap - 0.04% mmap_region do_mmap_pgoff - vm_mmap_pgoff + 0.02% sys_mmap_pgoff + 0.02% vm_mmap + 0.02% mprotect_fixup Current code omits the percent if 'mmap_region' becomes the only node when percent limit is set to 0.03%, its percent is not 0.06% but users will assume it incorrectly. Before: $ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.03 --tui ... 0.06% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace kmem_cache_alloc_trace - perf_event_mmap - mmap_region do_mmap_pgoff vm_mmap_pgoff After: $ perf report --no-children --percent-limit 0.03 --tui ... 0.06% sleep [kernel.vmlinux] [k] kmem_cache_alloc_trace kmem_cache_alloc_trace - perf_event_mmap - 0.04% mmap_region do_mmap_pgoff vm_mmap_pgoff Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1453909257-26015-10-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
