Hello,

The 'iostat' mode uses aliases mechanism in perf same as 'perf archive' and
in this case you don't need to add function callback into cmd_struct.
For example, the command 'perf iostat list' will be converted to
'perf stat --iostat=list'.

After building the perf tool you should have two shell scripts in tools/perf
directory and one of them is executable, for example:
# make -C tools/perf
# ls -l tools/perf/perf-iostat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 290 Mar 10 18:17 perf-iostat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290 Feb  3 15:14 perf-iostat.sh

It should be possible to run 'perf iostat' from build directory:
# cd tools/perf
# ./perf iostat list
S0-uncore_iio_0<0000:00>
S1-uncore_iio_0<0000:80>
S0-uncore_iio_1<0000:17>
S1-uncore_iio_1<0000:85>
S0-uncore_iio_2<0000:3a>
S1-uncore_iio_2<0000:ae>
S0-uncore_iio_3<0000:5d>
S1-uncore_iio_3<0000:d7>

Also you can copy 'perf-iostat' to ~/libexec/perf-core/ or just run
'make install'

# make install
# cp perf /usr/bin/
# ls -lh ~/libexec/perf-core/
total 24K
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.4K Mar 10 18:17 perf-archive
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  290 Mar 10 18:17 perf-iostat
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6.3K Mar 10 18:17 perf-with-kcore
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Nov  5  2019 scripts
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Mar 10 18:17 tests
# perf iostat 0000:17 -I 1000 --interval-count 2
#           time    port             Inbound Read(MB)    Inbound
Write(MB)    Outbound Read(MB)   Outbound Write(MB)
     1.000220341 0000:17                    0 0                   
0                    0
     2.000569569 0000:17                    0 0                   
0                    0

Actually, Arnaldo has explained before how does aliases mechanism work.

I hope it will solve your issue. Otherwise, please email.

Thank you,
Alexander
