[PATCH 6/8] perf data: Switch to multiple cpu stream files

Jiri Olsa
2014-12-11T15:14:17Z

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

Currently we store the data into single data strea/file. The cpu
if data is stored within the event sample. The lttng puts the CPU
number that belongs to the event into the packet context instead
into the event.

This patch makes sure that the trace produce by perf does look the
same way. We now use one stream per-CPU. Having it all in one stream
increased the total size of the resulting file. The test went from
416KiB (with perf_cpu event member) to 24MiB due to the required
(and pointless) flush. With the per-cpu streams the total size went
up to 588KiB.
