Agreed, but then, we can have some sort of default and also be able to, using -F, specify what are the fields we want, and in which order, and I liked your suggestion of being able to specify "-F none" and that mean no hist line to be produced. Likewise, the way that each callchain line should be formatted should be programmable via the command line, via the -g option, no? Then script writers could use it in a way that doesn't requires further processing, as Brendan showed. But yeah, the value is the semicolon delimited stack all the way to the comm/PID:comm if there are more than one or if the user asks it to be there via a -g keyword, all the other counts/info are just relative to that, CSV or whatever other delimiter the user asks it to, and space is not an option, as we know it can appear in the middle of a COMM: [root@zoo ~]# perf report -s comm | grep '[a-zA-Z] [a-zA-Z]' # To display the perf.data header info, please use # --header/--header-only options. # Total Lost Samples: 0 # Samples: 164K of event 'cycles:pp' # Event count (approx.): 34422160859 0.11% DOM Worker 0.10% JS Helper 0.01% Qt bearer threa 0.00% Socket Thread 0.00% dconf worker 0.00% JS Watchdog [root@zoo ~]# - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
