Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: Turn off summary for interval mode by default
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2020 09:01:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200903010113.32232-1-yao.jin@linux.intel.com> (raw)
There's a risk that outputting interval mode summaries by default
breaks CSV consumers. It already broke pmu-tools/toplev.
So now we turn off the summary by default but we create a new
option '--summary' to enable the summary. This is active even
when not using CSV mode.
