[PATCH v1 2/4] perf record: introduce z, mmap-flush options and PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED record
From: Alexey Budankov
Date: Mon Dec 24 2018 - 08:46:42 EST
Introduce --compression_level=n, --mmap-flush options and PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED
event record that contains compressed parts of mmap kernel buffer data.
