Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf python: Add sampling.py as example for sampling
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2025 11:29:28 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250728055937.58531-3-gautam@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250728055937.58531-1-gautam@linux.ibm.com>
Add sampling.py - a python version of sampling.c to demonstrate sampling
events.
Sample output:
```
$ sudo ./sampling.py
libperf: mmap_per_cpu: nr cpu values 8 nr threads 1
libperf: idx 0: mmapping fd 3
libperf: idx 1: mmapping fd 4
libperf: idx 2: mmapping fd 5
libperf: idx 3: mmapping fd 6
libperf: idx 4: mmapping fd 7
libperf: idx 5: mmapping fd 8
libperf: idx 6: mmapping fd 9
libperf: idx 7: mmapping fd 10

cpu: 6 pid: 0 tid: 0 ip: 0xffffffffa6469333 period: 309112
```
