Subject: [PATCH 02/11] perf record: Add --sample-mem-info option
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2025 13:55:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250430205548.789750-3-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250430205548.789750-1-namhyung@kernel.org>
There's no way to enable PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC without PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR
which brings a lot of overhead due to the number of MMAP[2] records.
Let's add a new option to enable this information separately.
