hi, sending changes to enable group read of perf counters for perf stat command. It allows us to read whole group of counters within single read syscall.
Also available in here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git perf/stat_group Not sure why we haven't supported yet, but anyway it was unavailable for some time due to a bug which was fixed just recently via: ba5213ae6b88 ("perf/core: Correct event creation with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP") thanks, jirka --- Jiri Olsa (4): perf tools: Add verbose output for sys_perf_event_open fallback perf tools: Add perf_evsel__read_size function perf tools: Add perf_evsel__read_counter function perf stat: Use group read for event groups tools/perf/builtin-stat.c | 30 +++++++++++++++++++--- tools/perf/util/counts.h | 1 + tools/perf/util/evsel.c | 147 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- tools/perf/util/evsel.h | 2 ++ tools/perf/util/stat.c | 3 +++ tools/perf/util/stat.h | 5 ++-- 6 files changed, 182 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)
