Hi

Here are patches to use per-cpu mmaps
by default as requested by Ingo and Peter.


Adrian Hunter (4):
      perf record: Make per-cpu mmaps the default.
      perf tools: Allow '--inherit' as the negation of '--no-inherit'

[PATCH 1/4] perf record: Make per-cpu mmaps the default.

[Adrian Hunter]

This affects the -p, -t and -u options that
previously defaulted to per-thread mmaps.
A side-effect is that inheritance is
automatically enabled by default.  A later
patch will disable it by default for the -t
option.

Consequently add an option to select
per-thread mmaps to support the old
behaviour.

Note that per-thread can be used with a
workload-only (i.e. none of -p, -t, -u,
-a or -C is selected) to get a per-thread
mmap with no inheritance.

[PATCH 2/4] perf tools: Allow '--inherit' as the negation of '--no-inherit'

[Adrian Hunter]

Long options can be negated by prefixing them
with 'no-'.  However options that already start
with 'no-', such as '--no-inherit' result in ugly
double 'no's.  Avoid that by accepting that the
removal of 'no-' also negates the long option.

Why not cleanup the options for the commands and move all of the no-xxxx 
to just xxxx? Anyone using no-xxxx would still just work by the existing 
code.

Interesting idea but the short and long options are a combination, and short
options don't work the same way e.g. -i and --no-inherit go together.

If inherit is on by default and -i / --inherit is the option then -i is 
a no-op and --no-inherit disables it. That's the same effect has having 
inherit on by default and an option to disable it called --no-inherit.

Well, if you are going to change the meaning of -i and deny the users a
short option to disable inheritance, then it is no longer a cleanup - it
is a functional change.

[PATCH 4/4] perf record: Default -t option to no inheritance

[Adrian Hunter]

The change to per-cpu mmaps causes the -p, -t
and -u options now to have inheritance enabled
by default.  Change that back to no inheritance
but for the -t option only.
