[PATCH v2 2/6] perf record: Split output into multiple files via '--switch-output'

From: Wang Nan
Date: Thu Apr 14 2016 - 10:24:52 EST


Allow 'perf record' splits its output into multiple files.

For example:

# ~/perf record -a --timestamp-filename --switch-output &
[1] 10763
# kill -s SIGUSR2 10763
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
# [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622314468 ]

# kill -s SIGUSR2 10763
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
# [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622314762 ]

# kill -s SIGUSR2 10763
[ perf record: dump data: Woken up 1 times ]
#[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622315171 ]

# fg
perf record -a --timestamp-filename --switch-output
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622315513 ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data.<timestamp> (296 samples) ]

# ls -l
total 920

-rw------- 1 root root 59912 Dec 26 22:31 perf.data.2015122622315171
-rw------- 1 root root 19220 Dec 26 22:31 perf.data.2015122622315513
