I wanted to know the hottest path through a function and figured the
branch-stack (LBR) information should be able to help out with that.
The below uses the branch-stack to create basic blocks and generate
statistics from them.
from to branch_i
* ----> *
|
| block
v
* ----> *
from to branch_i+1
The blocks are broken down into non-overlapping ranges, while tracking
if the start of each range is an entry point and/or the end of a range
is a branch.
Each block iterates all ranges it covers (while splitting where required
to exactly match the block) and increments the 'coverage' count.
For the range including the branch we increment the taken counter, as
well as the pred counter if flags.predicted.
Using these number we can find if an instruction:
- had coverage; given by:
br->coverage / br->sym->max_coverage
This metric ensures each symbol has a 100% spot, which reflects the
observation that each symbol must have a most covered/hottest
block.
- is a branch target: br->is_target && br->start == add
- for targets, how much of a branch's coverages comes from it:
target->entry / branch->coverage
- is a branch: br->is_branch && br->end == addr
- for branches, how often it was taken:
br->taken / br->coverage
after all, all execution that didn't take the branch would have
incremented the coverage and continued onward to a later branch.
- for branches, how often it was predicted:
br->pred / br->taken
The coverage percentage is used to color the address and asm sections;
for low (<1%) coverage we use NORMAL (uncolored), indicating that these
instructions are not 'important'. For high coverage (>75%) we color the
address RED.
For each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction with
information on how often it was taken and predicted.
Output looks like (sans color, which does loose a lot of the
information :/)

(Note: the --branch-filter u,any was used to avoid spurious target and
branch points due to interrupts/faults, they show up as very small -/+
annotations on 'weird' locations)
