Subject: [PATCH 0/4] perf trace: Add filter Suppport, V2
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 10:17:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AD3E34C.1020301@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

This patchset adds filter support for perf counter, so not all
profile events are recorded but only those match the filters
we set.

An example:

 #./perf record -R -f -e irq:irq_handler_entry --filter irq==18
 ^C
 # ./perf trace
            perf-4303  ... irq_handler_entry: irq=18 handler=eth0
            init-0     ... irq_handler_entry: irq=18 handler=eth0
            init-0     ... irq_handler_entry: irq=18 handler=eth0
            init-0     ... irq_handler_entry: irq=18 handler=eth0
            init-0     ... irq_handler_entry: irq=18 handler=eth0

The syntax of filter expressions can be found in
Documentation/trace/events.txt.

Major changes from v1:

- Make filters per perf event, instead of per tracepoint.

- Use "--filter" to set a filter for a trace event, instead of
  mixing it into "-e" option.
