'perf' is the standard builtin tool for performance analysis on recent
Linux kernel. Its source code is shipped within the kernel repository.
'perf' has basic support for JIT. For each process, it can read a file
named /tmp/perf-$PID.map. This file contains mapping from address
range to function name in the format:
41187e2a 1a EmuCode_804a33fc
with the following entries:
1. beginning of the range (hexadecimal);
2. size of the range (hexadecimal);
3. name of the function.
We supply the PowerPC address of the basic block as function name.
Usage:
DOLPHIN_PERF_DIR=/tmp dolphin-emu &
perf record -F99 -p $(pgrep dolphin-emu) --call-graph dwarf
perf script | stackcollapse-perf.pl | grep EmuCode__ | flamegraph.pl > profile.svg
Issue: perf does not have support for region invalidation. It reads
the file in postprocessing. It probably does not work very well if a
JIT region is reused for another basic block: wrong results should be
expected in this case. Currently, nothing is done to prevent this.
