Right. By putting the time check in session code you are going to be dropping samples related to task events too. e.g., a task is created after the session is started and before the time window. Samples for the task (FORK, MMAP, COMM) will get dropped as will events for other tasks (e.g., EXIT). Then samples during the time window will not correlate nicely/correctly to a task with a name and maps.
I have patches locally with this same idea -- collect data for a broad time window but only show/analyze samples for a specific time window. Instead of having the time check in the session code I have it in the commands (report, script, etc). e.g., in sample event processing:
if (perf_time__skip_sample(sample)) goto out;
where that function has the logic to compare sample timestamps to a user given window.
I seem to recall Namhyung send out a patch on time intervals as well.
