[PATCH 2/3 -tip] perf_counter tools: Add support to set ofmultiple events in one shot

From: Jaswinder Singh Rajput
Date: Fri Jun 26 2009 - 17:43:06 EST



Add support for HARDWARE and SOFTWARE events :
perf stat -e all-sw-events
perf stat -e sw-events
perf stat -e all-hw-events
perf stat -e hw-events

On AMD box :

$ ./perf stat -e hw-events -e all-sw-events -- ls -lR /usr/include/ > /dev/null

Performance counter stats for 'ls -lR /usr/include/':
