hi, adding a way to configure switch data output for size and time, like: $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:*' --switch-output=10M -avg callchain: type FP switch-output with 10M size threshold mmap size 528384B [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 37 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010309135512 ] [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 39 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010309135771 ] [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 38 times ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010309140005 ] ^C[ perf record: Woken up 16 times to write data ] [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010309140111 ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.748 MB perf.data.<timestamp> ] ...
the default for switch-output option stays and does the SIGUSR2 output switch Also available in: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git perf/fixes thanks, jirka Cc: Wang Nan <wangn...@huawei.com> --- Jiri Olsa (7): tools lib subcmd: Add OPT_STRING_OPTARG_SET option perf record: Make __record_options static perf record: Fix --switch-output documentation and comment perf record: Add struct switch_output perf record: Change switch-output option to take optional argument perf record: Add switch-output size option argument perf record: Add switch-output time option argument tools/lib/subcmd/parse-options.c | 3 ++ tools/lib/subcmd/parse-options.h | 5 ++++ tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt | 13 +++++++-- tools/perf/builtin-record.c | 134 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 4 files changed, 139 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-)
