Re: [PATCH 1/2] perf top: Introduce --hide_{user,kernel}_symbols

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Tue Nov 17 2009 - 01:34:02 EST



btw., the user symbol printouts of perf top cause some display problems
- such as below. The DSO printout is way too long to fit into 92 cols,
wrapping around in my terminal and making much of the output unreadable.

Could we cut it by default please?

Also, it would be nice to only print the basename() portion of the DSO.
Both the /lib64 and the /opt/crossgcc/cross/libexec/ portion is
repetitive and not really important in understanding perf top output.
There should perhaps be a 'dso-abs' symbol column that prints out the
full pathname?
