perf report: Add --switch-on/--switch-off events
Since 'perf top' shares the histogram browser with 'perf report', then
the same explanation in the previous cset applies.
An additional example uses a pair of SDT events available for systemtap:
# perf probe --exec=/usr/bin/stap '%*:*'
Added new events:
sdt_stap:benchmark__thread__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:benchmark (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:benchmark__thread__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass6__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass6__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass5__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass5__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass0__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass0__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass1a__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass1b__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass1__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass2__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass2__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass3__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass3__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass4__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:pass4__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:benchmark__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:benchmark__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:cache__get (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:cache__clean (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:cache__add__module (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:cache__add__source (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:stap_system__complete (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:stap_system__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:stap_system__spawn (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:stap_system__fork (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:intern_string (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:client__start (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
sdt_stap:client__end (on %* in /usr/bin/stap)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_stap:client__end -aR sleep 1
#
From these we're use the two below to run systemtap's test suite:
# perf record -e sdt_stap:pass2__*,cycles:P make installcheck > /dev/null
^C[ perf record: Woken up 8 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.691 MB perf.data (39638 samples) ]
