[PATCH v2 2/3] perf tools: Record sampling time for each entry

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Tue Dec 03 2013 - 04:01:42 EST


From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

Sometimes users might want see a relation between value and time of a
sample. And the time itself is a very important information to have.
As the sample->period value is a diff of counter values between samples
it might make sense to add time-diff between samples into a hist entry.

To do that, calculate elapsed time for each sample and record it. The
elapsed time is the diff between current sample->time and previous
sample->time which was saved for each evsel.

Maybe we can use PERF_SAMPLE_READ for the precise result.
