Subject: [PATCH 18/28] perf record: Add an option to take an AUX snapshot on exit
Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2019 15:40:41 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190814184051.3125-19-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190814184051.3125-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>

It is sometimes useful to generate a snapshot when perf record exits;
I've been using a wrapper script around the workload that would do a
killall -USR2 perf when the workload exits.

This patch makes it easier and also works when perf record is attached
to a pre-existing task. A new snapshot option 'e' can be specified in
-S to enable this behavior:

root@elsewhere:~# perf record -e intel_pt// -Se sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.085 MB perf.data ]

[ Fixed up !HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT build in builtin-record.c, adding 2 missing __maybe_unused ]
