From ea5d20cf99db5d26d43b6d322d3ace17e08a6552 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 12:30:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: optionally provide the pid/tid of the sampled task Allow cpu wide counters to profile userspace by providing what process the sample belongs to. This raises the first issue with the output type, lots of these options: group, tid, callchain, etc.. are non-exclusive and could be combined, suggesting a bitfield. However, things like the mmap() data stream doesn't fit in that. How to split the type field...
