perf callchain: Per-event type selection support
This patchkit adds the ability to set callgraph mode (fp, dwarf, lbr) per
event. This in term can reduce sampling overhead and the size of the
perf.data.
Here is an example.
perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/' sleep 1
perf evlist -v
cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/: type: 4, size: 112,
config: 0x3c, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000, sample_type:
IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1,
inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all:
1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/: type: 4, size: 112, config: 0xc0, {
sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID,
disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
exclude_guest: 1
