perf evsel: State in the default event name if attr.exclude_kernel is set
When no event is specified perf will use the "cycles" hardware event with the highest precision available in the processor, and excluding kernel events for non-root users, so make that clear in the event name by setting the "u" event modifier, i.e. "cycles:upp". E.g.: The default for root: # perf record usleep 1 # perf evlist -v cycles:ppp: ..., precise_ip: 3, exclude_kernel: 0, ... # And for !root: $ perf record usleep 1 $ perf evlist -v cycles:uppp: ... , precise_ip: 3, exclude_kernel: 1, ... $ Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-lf29zcdl422i9knrgde0uwy3@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
