Hello all, I wonder whether there is a way to reduce the size of perf data files. Esp. when I collect call graph information via Dwarf on user space applications, I easily end up with multiple gigabytes of data in just a few seconds.
I assume currently, perf is built for lowest possible overhead in mind. But could maybe a post-processor be added, which can be run after perf is finished collecting data, that aggregates common backtraces etc.? Essentially what I'd like to see would be something similar to: perf report --stdout | gzip > perf.report.gz perf report -g graph --no-children -i perf.report.gz Does anything like that exist yet? Or is it planned?
