My confusion is how to interpret this output from perf , what are copy_user_generic_unrolled and native_safe_halt for instance ? I have profiled iozone benchmark using other tools like gprof and callgrind and they show me the actual functions being called by iozone as apparent from the source code. But what is this perf output showing me then ? Are generic_file_buffered_write , ext4_file_write etc all system calls ?

exactly, what is your confusion?
