[PATCH v1 3/3] perf script: extend misc field deconding with switch out event type

From: Alexey Budankov
Date: Mon Mar 05 2018 - 06:42:40 EST



Append 'y' sign to 'S' tag designating the type of context switch out event so
'S' means preemption context switch and 'Sy' means synchronization context
switch. Documentation is extended to cover new presentation changes.

perf script --show-switch-events -F +misc -I -i system-wide.perf:

amplxe-perf 7681 [005] S 15663.273151: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT next pid/tid: 39/39
migration/5 39 [005] 15663.273152: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 7681/7681
