| |
Hey Arnaldo, Stephane suggested I mail you for this feature request to the perf tool. When I collect a "raw" event using perf record, perf report's output is pretty useless. E.g.: # Events: 833 raw 0x3d500a0 So when I collect multiple events, I have to refer to the command line used to collect the profile and line up the event flags to figure out what I was collecting. With multiple collection runs, this can become quite confusing. The perf.data file doesn't seem to have the symbolic name of the event present. Do you think it would be reasonable to add a field to the profile to include the symbolic description of the event as it was given on the command line (e.g., "RS_UOPS_DISPATCHED:u:i:e:c=3")?
