Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] perf stat: Add support to print counts after a period of time
From: yuzhoujian <yuzhoujian@...ichuxing.com>
Introduce a new option to print counts after N milliseconds
and update perf-stat documentation accordingly.
Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.
$ perf stat --time 2000 -e cycles -a
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
157,260,423 cycles
2.003060766 seconds time elapsed
We can print the count deltas after N milliseconds with this new
introduced option. This option is not supported with "-I" option.
In addition, according to Kangliang's patch(19afd10410957), the
monitoring overhead for system-wide core event could be very high
if the interval-print parameter was below 100ms, and the limitation
value is 10ms. So the same warning will be displayed when the time
is set between 10ms to 100ms, and the minimal time is limited to
10ms. Users can make a decision according to their spcific cases.
Changes since v3:
- none.
Changes since v2:
- modify the time check in __run_perf_stat func to keep some consistency
with the workload case.
- add the warning when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms.
- add the pr_err when the time is set below 10ms.
Changes since v1:
- none.
