From: Wang Nan Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2016 18:59:50 +0000 (+0000) Subject: perf record: Split output into multiple files via '--switch-output' X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3c1cb7e3723caad9b4c1b2f816d86d8605296a4b;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git perf record: Split output into multiple files via '--switch-output' Allow 'perf record' to split its output into multiple files. For example: # ~/perf record -a --timestamp-filename --switch-output & [1] 10763 # kill -s SIGUSR2 10763 [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] # [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622314468 ] # kill -s SIGUSR2 10763 [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] # [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622314762 ] # kill -s SIGUSR2 10763 [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ] #[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622315171 ] # fg perf record -a --timestamp-filename --switch-output ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622315513 ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data.
