From 53651b28cfb637ef604abc189d877948d1af39bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: yuzhoujian Date: Thu, 30 May 2019 14:29:22 +0100 Subject: perf record: Add support to collect callchains from kernel or user space only One can just record callchains in the kernel or user space with this new options. We can use it together with "--all-kernel" options. This two options is used just like print_stack(sys) or print_ustack(usr) for systemtap. Shown below is the usage of this new option combined with "--all-kernel" options: 1. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect kernel callchains. $ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --kernel-callchains 2. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect user callchains. $ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --user-callchains Committer notes: Improved documentation to state that asking for kernel callchains really is asking for excluding user callchains, and vice versa. Further mentioned that using both won't get both, but nothing, as both will be excluded.
