[PATCH v1 0/9] perf stat: Enable '--per-thread' on all threads

From: Jin Yao
Date: Mon Nov 20 2017 - 01:48:33 EST


perf stat --per-thread is useful to break down data per thread.
But it currently requires specifying --pid/--tid to limit it to a process.

For analysis it would be useful to do it globally for the whole system.

1. Currently, if we perform 'perf stat --per-thread' without pid/tid,
perf returns error:

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat --per-thread
The --per-thread option is only available when monitoring via -p -t options.
-p, --pid <pid> stat events on existing process id
-t, --tid <tid> stat events on existing thread id

2. With this patch series, it returns data per thread with shadow metrics.
(run "vmstat 1" in following example)

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat --per-thread
