Add a new debug option "type-profile" to enable the detailed info during
the type analysis especially for instruction tracking. You can use this
before the command name like 'report' or 'annotate'.
$ perf --debug type-profile annotate --data-type
Committer testing:
First get some memory events:
$ perf mem record ls
Then, without data-type profiling debug:
$ perf annotate --data-type | head
Annotate type: 'struct rtld_global' in /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (1 samples):
============================================================================
samples offset size field
1 0 4336 struct rtld_global {
0 0 0 struct link_namespaces* _dl_ns;
0 2560 8 size_t _dl_nns;
0 2568 40 __rtld_lock_recursive_t _dl_load_lock {
0 2568 40 pthread_mutex_t mutex {
0 2568 40 struct __pthread_mutex_s __data {
0 2568 4 int __lock;
$
And with only data-type profiling:
$ perf --debug type-profile annotate --data-type | head
-----------------------------------------------------------

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
