[PATCH 5/6] perf ctf: Add '--all' option for 'perf data convert'
From: Wang Nan
Date: Thu Jun 23 2016 - 05:17:42 EST
After this patch, 'perf data convert' convert comm events to output
CTF stream.
Result:
# perf record -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.771 MB perf.data (79 samples) ]
# perf data convert --to-ctf ./out.ctf
[ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './out.ctf' ]
[ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.004 MB (79 samples) ]
# babeltrace ./out.ctf/
[20:59:41.942633169] (+?.?????????) cycles:ppp: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF81065AF4, perf_tid = 0, perf_pid = 0, perf_period = 1 }
