[PATCH 4/4] perf timechart: Add more options to IO mode

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Thu Jul 10 2014 - 17:07:40 EST


From: Stanislav Fomichev <stfomichev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

--io-skip-eagain - don't show EAGAIN errors
--io-min-time - make small io bursts visible
--io-merge-dist - merge adjacent events

+--io-skip-eagain::
+ Don't draw EAGAIN IO events.
+--io-min-time=<nsecs>::
+ Draw small events as if they lasted min-time. Useful when you need
+ to see very small and fast IO. It's possible to specify ms or us
+ suffix to specify time in milliseconds or microseconds.
+ Default value is 1ms.

+ Merge events that are merge-dist nanoseconds apart.
+ Reduces number of figures on the SVG and makes it more render-friendly.
