Hello,
The 'iostat' mode uses aliases mechanism in perf same as 'perf archive' and
in this case you don't need to add function callback into cmd_struct.
For example, the command 'perf iostat list' will be converted to
'perf stat --iostat=list'.
After building the perf tool you should have two shell scripts in tools/perf
directory and one of them is executable, for example:
# make -C tools/perf
# ls -l tools/perf/perf-iostat*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 290 Mar 10 18:17 perf-iostat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 290 Feb 3 15:14 perf-iostat.sh
It should be possible to run 'perf iostat' from build directory:
# cd tools/perf
# ./perf iostat list
S0-uncore_iio_0<0000:00>
S1-uncore_iio_0<0000:80>
S0-uncore_iio_1<0000:17>
S1-uncore_iio_1<0000:85>
S0-uncore_iio_2<0000:3a>
S1-uncore_iio_2<0000:ae>
S0-uncore_iio_3<0000:5d>
S1-uncore_iio_3<0000:d7>
Also you can copy 'perf-iostat' to ~/libexec/perf-core/ or just run
'make install'
# make install
# cp perf /usr/bin/
# ls -lh ~/libexec/perf-core/

Actually, Arnaldo has explained before how does aliases mechanism work.
I hope it will solve your issue. Otherwise, please email.
Thank you,
