perf record has supported --all-kernel / --all-user to configure all
used events to run in kernel space or run in user space. But perf
stat doesn't support these options.
It would be useful to support these options in perf-stat too to keep
the same semantics.

What happens if one asks for both? From the patch only the --all-kernel
will stick, right? Is that the behaviour for 'perf record'? Lemme see,
as I recall having this discussion at that time...
Yeah, same thing, and looking at that I wonder why we dong use
perf_evsel__config() in 'perf stat'...
Ok, I'm going to apply it.
Hi Arnaldo,
If we specify both, we will see the error.
root@kbl:~# perf stat --all-kernel --all-user -a -- sleep 1
Error: option `all-user' cannot be used with all-kernel
root@kbl:~# perf record --all-kernel --all-user -a -- sleep 1
Error: option `all-user' cannot be used with all-kernel
For why I don't set them in perf_evsel__config, because
perf_evsel__config is called in record but not called in stat.
Thanks for reviewing and applying this patch.
Thanks
Jin Yao
thanks,
