Subject: [PATCH] perf: add -o and --append options to perf stat
This patch adds an option (-o) to save the output of perf stat
into a file. You could do this with perf record but not with
perf stat. Instead, you had to fiddle with stderr to save
the counts into a separate file.
The patch also adds the --append option so that results can
be concatenated into a single file across runs. Each run of
the tool is clearly separated by a comment line starting with
a hash mark. The -A option of perf record is already used by
perf stat, so we only add a long option.
$ perf stat -o res.txt date
$ cat res.txt
# started on Mon Aug 15 19:46:55 2011
Performance counter stats for 'date':
0.791306 task-clock # 0.668 CPUs utilized
2 context-switches # 0.003 M/sec
0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec
197 page-faults # 0.249 M/sec
1878143 cycles # 2.373 GHz
<not supported> stalled-cycles-frontend
<not supported> stalled-cycles-backend
1083367 instructions # 0.58 insns per cycle
193027 branches # 243.935 M/sec
9014 branch-misses # 4.67% of all branches
0.001184746 seconds time elapsed
The option can be combined with -x to make the output file
much easier to parse.
