Subject: [PATCH] perf: collect multiplexing timing information in perf
record
This patch modifies perf record to collect multiplexing timing
information (time_enabled, time_running) when the -R (raw) option
is used.
This allows you to compare events captured on a single run and
compute multi-event metrics. Further it allows you to compare
measurements between different runs where the number of collected
events has changed and across different architectures where the
event count will surely change.
To normalize an event (assuming a fixed period), you do:
total_events = n_samples * period * time_enabled / time_running
You need the timing information to compensate for multiplexing
which may have happened.
To add timing information in each sample, it is necessary to
set PERF_SAMPLE_READ as per the kernel API. That has the side
effect of also storing the value of the sampling event in each
sample. This patch modifies perf report to correctly parse
such samples.
