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
