Subject: [PATCH] perf script: Implement option for system-wide profiling
Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:05:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1322229925-10075-1-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com> (raw)
The option is documented in man perf-script but was not yet
implemented:
-a
Force system-wide collection. Scripts run without a
<command> normally use -a by default, while scripts run
with a <command> normally don't - this option allows the
latter to be run in system-wide mode.
As with perf record you now can profile in system-wide mode for the
runtime of a given command, e.g.:
# perf script -a syscall-counts sleep 2
