Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf record: Add --synth option
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2021 19:40:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210723024045.2105375-2-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210723024045.2105375-1-namhyung@kernel.org>
Add an option to control synthesize behavior.
--synth <no|all|task|mmap|cgroup>
Fine-tune event synthesis: default=all
This can be useful when we know it doesn't need some synthesis like
in a specific usecase and/or when using pipe:
$ perf record -a --all-cgroups --synth cgroup -o- sleep 1 | \
> perf report -i- -s cgroup

+Collect and synthesize given type of events. Available types are:
+task, mmap, cgroup, all, no

--tail-synthesize::
Instead of collecting non-sample events (for example, fork, comm, mmap) at
the beginning of record, collect them during finalizing an output file.
