Subject: [PATCH] perf record: Add support to collect callchains from kernel or user space only.
Date: Thu, 30 May 2019 14:29:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1559222962-22891-1-git-send-email-ufo19890607@gmail.com> (raw)

From: yuzhoujian <yuzhoujian@didichuxing.com>

One can just record callchains in the kernel or user space with
this new options. We can use it together with "--all-kernel" options.
This two options is used just like print_stack(sys) or print_ustack(usr)
for systemtap.

Show below is the usage of this new option combined with "--all-kernel"
options.
	1. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just
collect kernel callchains.
	$ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --kernel-callchains
	2. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just
collect user callchains.
	$ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --user-callchains
