From c0a8865e32c8d1a562db38e06ef31ef23282f646 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 04:19:15 +0200 Subject: perf tools: callchain: Fix bad rounding of minimum rate Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the limit given by the user. Say you launched: perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10 perf report -g fractal,10.0 And you got: 2.33% hackbench [kernel] [k] _spin_lock_irqsave | |--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue | poll_freewait | do_sys_poll | sys_poll | sysenter_dispatch | 0xf7ffa430 | 0x1ffadea3c | |--7.14%-- __up_read | up_read | do_page_fault | page_fault | 0xf7ffa430 | 0xa0df710000000a ... It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10% filter. The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3 events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows: limit = 4 * 0.9; The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75% We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.
