So you propose that we start maintaining some table of aliases that
would be installed by default, etc? "krava" would not be a good name, I
think (:-)), so in this case we would have something like:
defaults_intel_pt: "tsc=1,noretcomp=0"
-e intel_pt/defaults_intel_pt/
Which of course gets redundant/long, so, using what Adrian suggests, we
would instead not pass anything between the slashes, and that would mean
"default_" concatenated with the name of the PMU used, so it would
become:
-e intel_pt//
that would be equivalent to:
-e intel_pt/defaults_intel_pt/
and also to:
-e intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/
?
I have not looked at the implementation, this is all just from the
information I skimmed in this thread.
