Subject[PATCH 00/11] perf tool: Add PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample read support
Date
hi,
adding support to read sample values through the PERF_SAMPLE_READ
sample type. It's now possible to specify 'S' modifier for an event
and get its sample value by PERF_SAMPLE_READ.

For group the 'S' modifier will enable sampling only for the leader
and read all the group member by PERF_SAMPLE_READ smple type with
PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format.

This was first introduced in here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/20/75

Example:

$ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
...
$ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
...
# Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
# Event count (approx.): 12585593
#
# Overhead Period Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ........................ ....... ................. ..........................
#
19.92% 1.20% 2505936 31 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mark_held_locks
13.74% 0.47% 1729327 12 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_local
13.64% 23.72% 1716147 612 ls ld-2.14.90.so [.] check_match.10805
13.12% 23.22% 1650778 599 ls libc-2.14.90.so [.] _nl_intern_locale_data
11.24% 29.19% 1414554 753 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
8.50% 0.35% 1070150 9 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] check_chain_key
...


The patchset is based on following fix:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/4/122

and is available also at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/linux.git
perf/group6

TODO: add column names as suggested by Ingo in the original discussion.

thanks,
jirka
