There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on event group: Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled. And same as for single events, values of all events within the group (including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format. Example: $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls ... $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio ... # Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }' # Event count (approx.): 12585593 # # Overhead Period Command Shared Object Symbol # .............. .............. ....... ................. .......................... # 19.92% 1.20% 2505936 31 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mark_held_locks 13.74% 0.47% 1729327 12 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_local 13.64% 23.72% 1716147 612 ls ld-2.14.90.so [.] check_match.10805 13.12% 23.22% 1650778 599 ls libc-2.14.90.so [.] _nl_intern_locale_data 11.24% 29.19% 1414554 753 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 8.50% 0.35% 1070150 9 ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] check_chain_key ...
