perf top: Support call-graph display options also
Currently 'perf top --call-graph' option is same as 'perf record'. But 'perf top' also need to receive display options in 'perf report'. To do that, change parse_callchain_report_opt() to allow record options too. Now perf top can receive display options like below: $ perf top --call-graph Error: option `call-graph' requires a value Usage: perf top [<options>] --call-graph <mode[,dump_size],output_type,min_percent[,print_limit],call_order[,branch]> setup and enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace) recording: fp dwarf lbr, output_type (graph, flat, fractal, or none), min percent threshold, optional print limit, callchain order, key (function or address), add branches $ perf top --call-graph callee,graph,fp Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Chandler Carruth <chandlerc@gmail.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1445495330-25416-2-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
