Perf also supports the possibility to write all debug messages to stderr (instead of writing them to the status line). This is achieved with the following command: # ./perf --debug stderr=1 report -vvvvv -i ~/fast.data 2>/tmp/2 # ll /tmp/2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 tmricht tmricht 5420835 May 7 13:46 /tmp/2 # The usage of variable stderr=1 is not documented, so add it to the perf man page.
