Subject[PATCH 0/4] perf report: add parameters 'start' & 'end' to specify analysis interval
Date
This patch set introduced a feature to analysis the samples in a specified time
interval.
After perf.data file was generated by perf record, the user could want to
analysis a sub time interval of the whole record period.
For some functions, the percent of its samples in a certain sub time interval is
different from the percent in the total record period. Showing the scene in a
certain time interval could allow users to more easily troubleshoot performance
problems. The sample's timestamp are recorded in the perf.data file. The samples
are sorted in the ordered_samples by timestamp while perf report processed them.
So, it is easily to search the samples whose timestamp are in a certain time
interval.
We add 2 paramters --start and --end to specify the time interval.
perf report --start xxxxx --end xxxxx
The smallest granularity of time interval is millsecond.
For example:
If the whole record period of a perf.data file is 10000 to 20000, we can use the
following command to analysis the samples between [15000, 16000).
perf report --start 15000 --end 16000
The time is the uptime, it start timing from the system starts.

Chenggang Qin (4):
perf tools: add parameter 'start' & 'end' to perf report
perf tools: relate 'start' & 'end' to perf_session
perf tools: record min_timestamp of samples queue in ordered_samples
perf tools: add the feature to assign analysis interval to perf
report
